RouteNote artists will very soon have the opportunity to add their music to Googles’ new music streaming service call Google Play All Access. Additionally, RouteNote artists will be able to have their music in the basic Google Play music download store.

Google announced their new music streaming service last night at their Google I/O Developed Conference. The Google Play Music All Access will launch this week in the US and then move into other countries.

Features are as follows: unlimited access to an on-demand catalogue of songs, personal-radio channels based on individual songs and artists, and a $9.99-a-month subscription reduced to $7.99 for early adopters.

Most importantly there is no free tier to allow users to test out the service before paying. This is very surprising considering Google is the world leader in online advertising! Im sure if anyone was going to make a mass market product and monetize the service effectively through advertising then it would have been Google.

“We had a vision and it’s taken us time to build out that vision. We look at All Access as a complement to the locker, which we felt we had to build first,” lead product manager Paul Joyce tells The Verge. while hinting that All Access may go beyond Android.

p.s. If you are a RouteNote artist then Google Play options will come live very soon and you will be able to add your music straight away.

You can watch the Google I/O Developer Conference Live on YouTube. Google is expected to announce in the keynote the launch of their Spotify killer, Google Play Music Streaming.

p.s. It needs a good name, not just the Google Play Music Streaming service.

Interesting news Google is preparing to launch their music streaming service today at their Google I/O conference. All relevant information might be released today, but if such a service does exist then expect RouteNote and your music to be onboard!

It seems like Maker Studios is in a bit of trouble. Maker CEO Danny Zappin has stepped down and there are rumours going around that they are currently losing in excess of $2 million per month. It will be sad if they are in big trouble as they directly support a lot of music channels on YouTube.

Spotify recently announced to the world their new discover tab. This feature was shown back in December 2012, but is still yet to launch to the world until now!

On a thread originally started in December when the features were first announced, Spotify community manager Rorey Jones wrote earlier this month:

“We know you’ve all been eager to see the discover features rolled out so we just wanted to let you know we’ve begun rolling out the brand new Discover tab to a very small percentage to folks in the UK and Nordic countries on the desktop application of Spotify. We’ll be rolling it out to more customers in the coming weeks.”

Spotify also lists documentation for the feature on its developer site.
