I like Apple’s new streaming radio station Beats 1, but one of the many minor irritations is that it’s hard to find out what song was just playing once the Apple Music app has moved on.
Thankfully, Callum Jones, an Australian developer in San Francisco has jerry-rigged a solution: A Twitter account called @Beats1Plays:
https://twitter.com/beats1plays/status/616544350948823040
It’s as simple as it sounds. The account simply tweets each song as its played on the station, but it’s really handy if you hear half a track and don’t manage to like it in the Apple Music app before it’s finished.
