Google launch 'All Access' music-streaming platform
As previously anticipated, Google yesterday unveiled their entry into the music-streaming market, revealing a product called Google Play Music All Access.
The subscription platform, which costs $9.99 (£5.60) per month, offers users “millions of songs” ready for listening online. The system is much akin to market competitors like Deezer and Spotify, but is not yet available in an ad-funded free version.
The product had long been touted, but Google previously hit a roadblock negotiating licence deals with major labels. Now, they’ve reached an agreement with Warner, Universal and Sony, unveiling what they call “radio without rules”.
U.S users can get a free month trial right now via Google Play. For all those outside of the States, here’s what the interface looks like:
- Pip Blom announce first independent release, Grip EP
- Real Estate announce compilation album, The Wee Small Hours: B-Sides and Other Detritus 2011-2025
- The Itch sign with Fiction/I OH YOU and launch double single, "The Influencer" and "Co-Conspirator"
- GRÓA announce new album, Drop P and share double single, "ugh" / "beauty tips"
- salute shares Hudson Mohawke remix of "saving flowers" featuring Rina Sawayama
