Apple will start charging for iTunes Radio

(CNN) — Apple is planning to phase out its free iTunes Radio service on January 28, the company said Friday in an email to customers.

The free, ad-supported radio feature is only available in the US and Australia, according to an Apple spokesperson.

iTunes Radio launched in 2013 when Apple debuted iOS 7. It allows users to listen to playlists and stations that are automatically generated — like Pandora and Spotify.

iTunes Radio will now be absorbed into the Apple Music subscription service and will be made available to paying customers in over 100 countries.
