Google Launches All Access Music Streaming Service
RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, May 15, 2013 |
Google has launched a subscription-based music streaming service in the U.S. called "All Access." The service costs $9.99 a month and offers new users a 30-day free trial. It made its debut on Wednesday in U.S., with plans to expand to others countries. The move puts Google in direct competition with Pandora and Spotify. c|net reports that it could also compete with Apple, which has been moving in that direction, reaching an iRadio deal with Universal Music last week.
Google's new All Access subscription streaming service was unveiled at the Google I/O developers' conference in San Francisco on Wednesday. Previously, Google Play users could stream purchased music from an app. Users of All Access will be able to access songs from a catalog with thousands of other tracks available.
"We set out to build a music service that didn't just give us access to great music but to help guide you to it," Google engineering director Chris Yerga said.
