Google To Make Google Music Available On iPhone

Google's SVP of Android and Chrome, Sundar Pichai, left the D11 conference having dropped a huge piece of news for iOS; that their new All Access music service would be coming to iOS in a matter of weeks. While we're not short on music streaming services on iOS, Google going cross-platform is a big deal. They also offer a different experience to some of their competing services, in that each account also has a cloud locker large enough for 20,000 songs. But, is all this enough to encourage users to switch? Comment below, let us know what you think.

Google All Access Streaming Music Service Announced

Google announced at Google I/O 2013 this morning announced its new streaming music service called All Access.

Using algorithms, Google is going to help you discover new music based off of the tracks you’ve uploaded. Analyzing what you’ve uploaded and listened to, All Access will suggest more tracks that you may like and will blend with your own collection. It will work on phones, tablets and desktops.

Pricing will run $9.99 a month in the U.S., but everyone will receive a 30 day free trial. If you initiate your trial prior to June 30, you will be able to subscribe at $7.99 a month.

Google Announces ‘Google Play’ To Replace Android Market

Google on Tuesday announced “Google Play,” a cloud-based multimedia service for distributing and syncing apps and data across Android devices. The announcement comes on the heels of reports that numerous Google services haven’t performed up to expectations. With Google Play, users can store up to 20,000 songs for free, download more than 450,000 Android apps, browse Google’s selection of eBooks and rent thousands of movies. The service combines the Android Market, Google eBook store and Google Music into a single brand of cloud-based services. 

Google Music Users Said To Be Declining By The Week

Google’s answer to iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and other popular digital music services may be in serious trouble. Reports surfaced last week suggesting Google Music wasn’t living up to expectations and now, according to music industry insider Wayne Rosso, the service may be in deeper trouble than initially thought. ”I’ve never seen anything like it,” an unnamed digital music executive told Rosso.”It’s astounding. It’s hard to believe that with an install base of over 200 million Android handsets they’re actually losing customers.” The well-placed source explained to Rosso that Google Music is losing customers on a weekly basis, and that it has gotten to the point where record label executives are worried Google may discontinue the service. First launched this past November, Google Music is a music store and cloud-based digital locker combination that allows users to purchase or upload music, and then stream songs to any computer or Android-powered device.
