Apple has reportedly reached a deal with Warner Music Group to play its records for a service that could be announced at next week's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
The service is a music subscription feature similar to Spotify, Pandora, and the recently launched Google Play All Access.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal includes Apple paying 10 percent of its advertisement revenue to Warner Music Group. The New York Times added the deal with Warner Music Group is for both music and publishing rights.
As Latinos Post reported, Apple signed a deal with Universal Music, the world's largest music label, but only for its recorded music rights. Apple, however, is still working on a deal with Sony Music, who is allegedly concerned with fees for both played and skipped songs.
The timing is perfect for the Cupertino-based organization as they enter the final week before its annual WWDC.
Apple has not directly commented on the report, but an announcement could occur during the keynote speech at WWDC on June 10.
