Samsung last quarter sold twice as many smartphones globally as rival Apple, according to IDC, and continues to add new tablets to its product lines.

Samsung now appears ready to take on Spotify and other popular music services.

The Music Hub service is based on technology Samsung gained in its recent acquisition of mSpot.

Users can access the Music Hub service through the Samsung App Store or Google Play.

Samsung said the service is now available for Galaxy S III smartphones sold by AT&T and US Cellular. The company did not say when Music Hub will be available for Galaxy S III phones sold by Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile USA.
