SHHHH! Before anyone notices!
Movies and Devices next please Google!

Yeah it's nice. 7.99 just seems wrong though!very cheap for all that music.

I notice the Atoms for Peace stuff is on it.. Does that mean I shouldn't feel guilty and artists do well out of the Google arrangement? :-)

Handy having my own library alongside the streaming access.

They've got their work cut out for them though - Spotify is very polished in comparison and has great music discovery features.

marcbrophy · 07-08-2013 11:25PM

Nice, gonna give this a try!

Currently paying Spotify 9.99 a month, so I might be able to save a whopping 24 bucks a year if this works out

The price is showing up as dollars for me. I did change my cc months ago to get the American all access. I can't get it back to Irish now.

I'm having the same problem.

How do I get this set up? I can't see anything in the play music app to sign up for it.

Menu, settings, all access.

OhHiMark · 08-08-2013 09:04AM

Odd, I don't have that option.

Wait, I got it working from the play music site.

neacy69 · 08-08-2013 09:27AM

Any info yet on how the music catalog compares to spotify? paying 9.99 a month for spotify but incredibly annoying when i find some music is not available in ireland for whatever reason... or better, when there's like 3 tracks of an album that are available and the rest are not........

How does it compare, feature wise ? Anyone seen a comparison guide out there ? Last one I saw was from very early on in Google music and Spotify came out on top.

Seems songs not available on Spotify, not available on this either from a quick look. Stairway to heaven etc.

Its way nicer looking than spotify anyway and the recommendations are much better, just checked there and spotify recommends me 4 albums by Chubby Checker.

sham69 · 08-08-2013 11:03AM

Using it now for the first time.
Not bad at all, much slicker interface but has cut out a few times on me already.

I have been using spotify since it first launched (in the UK) and I can't see me giving it up for this.

I also have a ton of my own music uploaded to the play app and its great for that, music that isnt on spotify or play (i.e Led Zeppelin, the beatles, Rammstein, AC-DC etc)

I will see how my free months trial goes and take it from there..

Small.thing - the big G don't have the artist bio

:pac:

Just opted into it a bit earlier. It's class!

The recommendations are great alright. Probably won't bother with Spotify for the simple reason that I couldn't be bothered with two music services.

Have my entire library on Google Play too so...:)

Saadyst · 08-08-2013 11:25AM

There are some pros and cons I guess. On the one hand then it seems if the same music is not available on both apps it's more to do with IRMA...

There's also other things to consider such as-

-playlists already setup on spotify
-2 euro difference
-web-app only for desktops
-spotify is available as an app/feature on some media devices (e.g. WD devices)

Will keep an eye on this before the deal expires...:cool:

long_b · 08-08-2013 11:39AM

I find the Spotify windows app is a complete dog and slows down my PC very noticeably.

Better off without it IMHO - YMMV

tbh I cancelled my spotify sub because I'm like, into non mainstream genres or whatever :pac: and spotify just didn't have a lot of the music I was looking for.

Wonder if google is any different

Alpha Dog 1 · 08-08-2013 11:45AM

I haven't seen the option to download music like you can on Spotify. Have I gone blind?

Never had any issues with it, I leave it running in the background even when not in use.

Should be a tag to make available offline

It's the "Keep on device" option

mossie · 08-08-2013 12:18PM

When I try to subscribe the price comes up as $9.99 and when I proceed I get "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found".

I did sign up via vpn for the US trial but had the cancel as it would not actually charge my credit card.

Any ideas? Thanks.

It's in the Play Music app.
I see it on the "Listen Now" screen - click.the dots on the lower rhs of the album

You have to add the song to your library first, then find the song in there and click keep on device.

Bit awkward but that's the only way I can see of doing it.
