Sökjätten doing now what other music services, such as Spotify, made a long time. They open up their stock of songs in a free version – at least partially. The service was launched yesterday and is an attempt to steal attention from Apple, writes Reuters. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few weeks launched the Apple music June 30th.
Until now, Google has offered a subscription for $ 9.99 a month, but now those who want to avoid paying. Free is good, but as we know, there often with the occasional catch. The service includes advertisements and is only available online. Some songs will also not be included.
Like many other streaming services offer the playlists based on genre, artist or activity. Finished listings for boring days at work, your run or party.
“We believe this is a way that enables the service shown to many people,” said Elias Roman, Google product manager, in an interview.
In the same interview he also said that Google Play has millions of visitors every month, but not everyone is willing to pay for a subscription. By offering a free version, he hopes that more people feel inclined to pay for an updated version.
It’s tough at the top, and competition between streaming services is intensifying. Google will not say how many subscribers they have, more than the number doubled in 2014. However, Pandora, Spotify and Beats Music considerably more downloads to mobiles. Google Play is available for Android and iOS at the end of the week.
