Twitter's new standalone music service finally arrives today on your desktop, but even more importantly, on your go-everywhere iPhone.The social media company launches the new service on Good Morning America and in a blog post Called "Twitter #music" — yes, the tag is intentional —the application "uses Twitter activity, including Tweets and engagement, to detect and surface the most popular songs and emerging artists," Twitter wrote in the post.The free app and service will also be a home for music-related information, so you can find and follow musicians and learn more about which musicians they follow, which will then, of course, lead to more music discovery.As for where the music comes from, Twitter says it is a combination of iTunes and Radio. iTunes play automatically previews, but for full songs you will need an Radio subscription. In other words, Twitter #music is a music discovery service, not a free music streaming service.
