Beats Music has been updated for Android bringing some substantial improvements to the subscription music service. Now up to version 1.1, Beats Music brings a new landscape mode, the ability to save downloads to an external card, a refined 'Just For You' recommendations experience, improved playback, and the ability to transfer downloads between your phone's internal storage and the SD card.

The update arrives on the heels of Amazon launching its own music streaming service. Amazon's Prime Music is free for Prime subscribers while the Beats service costs $10-$15 per month and competes with services like Spotify.

Beats Music is now owned by Apple following a $3 billion deal.

Are you a Beats subscriber? Will you jamming to tunes in landscape mode and is the ability to save to an SD card important to you?
