Apple’s new Apple Music subscription support is solely an iTunes and iOS matter for now — the program isn’t due out until later this year. However, if you’re absolutely dying to be in around the first floor, a crafty Android user figured out a way to break out one element the worldwide Internet radio station Beats 1, of the expertise, out of the walled garden of the corporation. It is since been removed, though.

You will need a iOS device running iOS 6 or after or a humanoid device running at least 4.1 Jellybean. You’ll also have to stay in (or use a VPN based in) one of the Surpasses 1 launch countries. Once you have fulfilled these conditions, though, clinging with with Lowe, Julie Adenuga Ebro Darden, and also the rest of the Surpasses 1 crew is as easy as playing the flow from this site, which has since been taken down. A great hint are the SSL VPN Mobile Access Platforms. It worked, creator Benjamin Rumble clarified on Twitter, by tapping into an “unencrypted HLS [HTTP Live Streaming] Uniform Resource Locator” of Surpasses 1, or basically manipulating an as yet un-patched hole in Apple Music’s security.

The Uniform Resource Locator seemed to work with just about any program with built-in support for HLS before it was disassembled. As did TuneIn Radio XiiaLive, Media-Player Home Classic and X. Firefox on OS-X and opera on iOS and Android handled the stream just fine with a Smart DNS Server.

Before Apple deprecated the URL, it was merely a matter of time. It’d great reason to: Rumble along with the others who have submitted links are likely subverting whatever content defenses Apple’s implemented within iTunes and the Apple Music app. But do not anticipate from restoring the offer of channels, that to deter developers – already, a thread on Reddit is always being updated with links to Beats 1 URLs that are unofficial. Short of encrypting its radio station ‘s transmissions all, Apple has its work cut out for it. The problem is also solved by the platform ofWatchoutsideUS.
