Apple is planning to overhaul its year-old music streaming service to make it "more easier to use", according to people familiar with the matter (via Bloomberg News (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-04/apple-to-revamp-streaming-music-service-after-mixed-reviews-departures)).

The company is set to redesign the user interface to make it more intuitive, said the sources, who asked to remain a**nymous because the plans are yet to be made public. Apple also means to significantly enhance the integration of its streaming and download businesses and expand its online radio service.

According to Bloomberg, a full reboot of Apple Music (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-music/) is to be unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/wwdc/) in June and will be accompanied by a fresh marketing campaign to entice customers to the subscription-based service, which currently costs $10 per month.

Apple Music was introduced with much fanfare back in June 2015. While many commentators gave generally positive reviews, the service was heavily criticized (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/30/apple-music-first-impressions/) for its muddled interface and dearth of features. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift penned an open letter (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/21/taylor-swift-apple-music/) to the Cuperti** company criticizing it for **t paying artists during the service's free three-month trial and explaining her decision **t to make her 1989 album available to stream on Apple Music.

Apple has struggled to integrate its employees and unite the streaming and downloading businesses into a cohesive music strategy, according to the latest report. As a result, the service is **w being overseen by content head Robert Kondrk and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Rez**r. Design chief Jony Ive's team has also been involved, along with former Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine and senior VP of Internet services Eddy Cue (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/eddy-cue/).

Apple Music has reached 13 million subscribers, an**unced (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/26/apple-music-13-million-subscribers/) Apple CEO Tim Cook (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/tim-cook/) at last week's earnings call. The figure was 2 million higher than that reported in February, indicating a growth rate on par with industry-leading streaming service Spotify.
