Cue also said the iOS 9 on its release will allow Apple Music users to add up to 100,000 music tracks. The iTunes Match will be integrated with Apple Music, which means an album acquired outside of iTunes can be uploaded on iCloud and accessed from the same app on any device, reports 9 to 5 Mac. Apple Music will be launched to battle popular music streaming services like Spotify, Pandora and Rdio.
