Google Debuts Ad-Supported Radio Service Week Before Apple Music's Release
Posted in: UncategorizedGoogle’s suite of music streaming services is starting to look a lot more like the one Apple will roll out next week.
On Tuesday, Google added a Pandora-style free, ad-supported radio service to its Spotify-like on-demand music service Google Play Music. Previously Google Play Music charged people $9.99 a month to listen to any of the more than 30 million songs in Google’s library on any device whenever they want.
Google’s free radio service — which is launching first in the U.S. through a website and mobile apps for smartphones and tablets running Google’s Android or Apple’s iOS operating systems — seems to be primarily a sales tactic to get people to subscribe to its paid, ad-free service.
