Accompanying the launch of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S3, Samsung has launched an online music streaming service called Music Hub.
It's an all-in-one assault on all the major online music selling formats, offers streaming, radio recommendations, storing your own music in the cloud and a music store.

The Music Hub Store is free and offers a 19-million-song catalog provided by 7digital. Users can buy songs and albums as well as listen to 30-second previews of all songs. Music is stored in the cloud and automatically appears on all your devices, but it can also be stored on your devices for offline listening.
Music Hub Premium, which costs 9.99 euros or pounds (approx. $16) per month, upgrades on this with unlimited streaming, a recommendation engine, personal radio and Scan & Match Cloud Locker, which lets you upload your music to the cloud -- similar to Apple's iTunes Match service.
