You Probably Can't Access Beats 1 Radio

Do you live in the GCC, Lebanon, or Jordan?

Seems like Beats 1, the global 24/7 radio headed by renowned DJ Zane Lowe, isn't available even with your subscription to Apple Music . An Apple customer support staff told Emirates 24/7 this could be due "to copyright laws or your country prohibits content that might be shown on the radio station."

What this also means is that your Apple Music library is much smaller than in the United States or Europe. The National writes that this is probably the reason why subscription rates are lower in the UAE (20 dirhams or around $5).

Users will however have access to Apple Music Radio, which allows subscribers to flip through music by genre.

Still, those who already signed up to the free three-month trial period are already impressed by the setup as well as the reduced price despite the limited library.
