Samsung expects Music Hub to reach competitors' devices

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto;" /> <div class="copy post-body" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Samsung Music Hub to reach other companies' devices, more countries" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/samsung-music-hub-620.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Samsung's Music Hub has only had a comparatively small reach to date, delivering tunes to seven countries (six with scan-and-match) and just a handful of devices. Senior VP of <span>Media Services</span> TJ Kang expects the audio service to broaden its horizons -- he tells <em>The Next Web</em> that Samsung wants to widen access to rivals' gear as well. There's no convenient timetable to put on the calendar, but the expansion is a significant move for a service that's frequently seen as more of a brand-specific checklist feature than a full competitor with the likes of Google Music or iTunes. Plans for Samsung's own devices are more definite, Kang says. Music Hub is coming to more countries in 2013, as long as licensing deals work out, and further device support (including the non-mobile variety) will depend on flagship hardware releases scattered throughout the year. No matter where Media Hub heads next, it's safe to presume that it will be more than just a nice bonus in the near future.</div></div></div>
