Apple is denying a published report that it plans to shut down streaming service Beats Music.

Several prominent employees at Apple and Beats told TechCrunch that Apple planned to discontinue the service.

Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr denied Apple was shutting down Beats Music. He toldUSA TODAY: “It’s not true.”

One person familiar with the situation said that consumers should expect Apple to make some changes to the service. That could mean the brand is going away although the service is not.
