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:
- Black Lips announce first album in three years, Season Of The Peach
- U.S. Girls unveil new single, "No Fruit"
- Cass McCombs details forthcoming album, Interior Live Oak
- Nation of Language announce fourth album, Dance Called Memory
- Wembley Park unveils Lana Del Rey mural ahead of her stadium shows
- Alison Goldfrapp shares new track, "Sound & Light"
- Ada Lea, GB and Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band lead Best Fit's inaugural Summer Forecast shows
