Twitter Inc., the Web-based social messaging service, is developing a mobile music application that will let its users play and share songs on Apple Inc. devices, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The app will stream music from SoundCloud Ltd., a Berlin-based audio-sharing service, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the plan hasn’t been announced. Twitter last year acquired digital-media startup We Are Hunted as part of its push into music, a person said.
