Web search and technology giants, Google are set to enter the music-streaming market, widely-expected to unveil a new product later today (15 May).
The company are currently holding their Google I/O conference, a get-together for the corporation’s developers and designers, and the New York Times are suggesting that the announcement will happen shortly.
The product in question is likely to be akin to Spotify, Deezer and other existing competitors, but without a free service. Other details of how it’ll differ from the market leaders are vague as of yet.
More information as this story develops.
