“Google Play Music All Access” has been officially presented: here are the features of Big G’s music streaming service and the subscription price.
The usual and always highly anticipated Google I/O conference has begun, and with it have come some news from the Google universe.
Among these is the news that has been heavily rumored in recent days, regarding the likely presentation of a music streaming product.
In fact, the Mountain View team has launched “Google Play Music All Access“, the service that allows listening to thousands of songs.
It should be noted that there don’t seem to be any truly revolutionary innovations characterizing this service: a direct competitor to Spotify, it offers nothing particularly innovative.
On the contrary: while Spotify offers three types of accounts (the free one, the mid-tier paid one, and the full subscription), it appears that Google Play Music All Access will only be paid, with a likely price of $9.99, plus an initial 30-day free trial.
Regarding the service’s claim, Chris Yerga of Google presented the innovation by defining it as more of a “radio” than a streaming program, but in substance little or nothing seems to change compared to Spotify, which in this sector is practically the only major reference point and therefore a benchmark for external observers.
So, what could be the strength of Google Play Music All Access?
Certainly, the robustness and heterogeneity of its user base, considering the very high numbers of Android users and users of Google products for various purposes.
Further details are therefore awaited, as well as the actual launch of the music functionality, to understand in practice what the advantages for the end-user might be in using Google Play Music All Access compared to other currently well-established players.
