The BBC is working on developing an iPlayer-style online music service, reports The Telegraph. This service, dubbed Playlister, would give licence-fee payers free access to thousands of music recordings, with the BBC understood to be talks with commercial players about possible licensing deals. It is expected to offer a similar service to online music streaming services such as Spotify, and could be launched later in 2012 or early-2013. The scheme is being driven by the BBC's Director of Audio & Music, Tim Davie.
