Kim Dotcom has also announced a secure email service for 2014, but like Baboom, any concrete details are hard to find.<\/p>\n<p>Baboom is described as a mix of iTunes and Spotify, but we don&#8217;t know if it has the support of major music labels yet, which is essential for its success. The site currently explains little beyond a desire to &#8216;break the establishment.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Baboom isn&#8217;t the only streaming music service making announcements. Both Spotify and Rdio have recently announced new free services probably in anticipation of the January 21st launch of Beats Music.<\/p>\n<h4>RELATED STORIES<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/mega-launches-ios-cloud-storage-app\">MEGA launches iOS cloud storage app<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/mega-for-ios-coming-very-soon\">Mega for iOS coming very soon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/megasync-beta-out-now-for-windows-syncs-your-computer-with-mega\">MEGASync beta out now for Windows, syncs your computer with MEGA<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/h4>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2014\/01\/kim-dotcoms-answer-to-spotify-and-itunes-baboom-will-soft-launch-on-monday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arstechnica<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today should see the soft launch of Kim Dotcom&#8217;s streaming music service Baboom, with a full launch now coming &#8216;in late 2014.&#8217; This soft launch will see just the first artist page published &#8211; and it will be Kim Dotcom&#8217;s own page, as he has also released an album &#8216;Good Times.&#8217; The streaming music service &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/megas-kim-dotcom-launches-streaming-music-service-baboom\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Mega&#8217;s Kim Dotcom launches streaming music service Baboom&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2019,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-58729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2019"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58729"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":331520,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58729\/revisions\/331520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58729"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=58729"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=58729"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=58729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
