Google launches its own free Music streaming service
Web and Internet giant Google has launched an ad-supported version of Google Play Music.
The service will be available first in the US and the free version of Google Play Music works sort of like Pandora.
Users can browse through themed radio stations and find songs that suit your current mood, such as Driving, Working Out, Having Friends Over or Bedtime. The stations are curated by Songza, which Google acquired last year.
The search giant says that the ad-supported version is intended to help expose consumers to its service, with the goal of converting users to the paid version so they can access content offline, create their own playlists and, of course, stream music without interruption.
The upgraded version runs at $9.99 a month.
Both paid and free users will be able to access music from their own collection and play up to 50,000 songs, however.
The Android and iOS versions are expected to arrive later this week.
