Google Play Music All Access
It was late spring when we first started hearing rumors that Google was looking to snatch-up streaming music service Songza, known for its custom-tailored playlists designed to fit nearly every social situation on personal mood under the sun: uplifting tunes to start your day, peaceful melodies to lull you to sleep, and everything in between. A month later, that acquisition was confirmed, and today Google finally announces ...

Going back quite a while now, well into last year, we’ve been hearing about the idea of Google expanding its subscription music services beyond Play Music All Access to bring a subscription component to YouTube. It looked like it might arrive as YouTube Music Pass, and Google’s even played on our awareness of that name to mess with the ...

Rumors surfaced back near the start of June that suggested Google was looking to improve its streaming music offerings a tad, and had its eyes on adding streaming provider Songza to its stable. Songza had built a reputation for delivering curated playlists ranging from broad genre themes, to narrowly focused mood-based lists, and sources claimed that Google was interested in using this know-how to improve its own Play Music offerings. Earlier this afternoon, Google finally made things official, announcing ...

Last year, during the 2013 Google I/O conference, we saw Google add to its growing media offerings with the launch of a streaming radio service, Google Play Music All Access. For $10 a month (or $8 for early adopters), users were able to enjoy unlimited streaming. But a year later, Google has new competition to face off against – new entities like Beats have joined the streaming game, and existing players continue to refine their ...

The post Google looks like it’s renaming the cumbersome “Play Music All Access” appeared first on Pocketnow.
Google already sells music to download through its Play Store. It already has streaming radio with the subscription All Access service. From an outsider’s perspective, it might seem that – so far as music is concerned – Google has all its bases covered. But now a new report suggests that Google’s got its eye on growth yet again, and could be looking to snatch-up another streaming provider in the hopes of improving its music offerings.That provider is Songza, and its claim to fame is that beyond just artist- on ...

For as much as we enjoy the many services Google offers its users (and boy, does it offer a lot of them), it’s no secret that where you live has a huge impact on the extent to which you’re able to use them all. Users in the US are at a real advantage, often getting access to features and programs well in advance of their international counterparts. It may take a while, but often times we eventually see availability improve, like last summer when Google Play Music All Access got flipped-on in a bunch of ...

It’s been a long time coming: a native Google Play Music app for iOS, and one supporting Google’s streaming All Access premium service, as well. We’ve been talking about the idea since back in May, though things really picked up early last month, when rumors started getting loud about an imminent launch. Claims of an October release date ended up falling through, but as we hit the midway point through November, Google has finally come through, ...

A little earlier this week we got word that Google was greatly expanding the availability of Google Music and its All Access streaming platform, letting users in a number of new countries in on the action. Knocking down geographical barriers is well and good, but that’s only one of the obstacles keeping Google Music away from more ears. Platform issues have been a problem as well, and while Google’s offered its Google Music web app to iOS users, they’ve been missing out on key features like All ...

Back in May, we saw Google take the next logical step after selling digital music downloads and offering cloud storage for individual libraries, branching out into the streaming world with its own subscription service, Google Play Music All Access. In order to entice users, it had a special promo rate going, letting early adopters lock-in their subscriptions at $8 a month, versus the normal $10. With that ...

Have you tried out Google’s new All Access streaming radio yet? Some of the early adopters playing around with the service had noticed that it sure seemed to be pulling down a lot of data – fine for those of us on unlimited or high-tier plans, but not great news for someone looking to keep their monthly use down. While Google did offer users some control over the amount of bandwidth consumed, there was only one option, letting you force the highest-quality possible. What it didn’t have was any way ...
