Play Music All Access, as it is called, will combine Google’s music library with the user’s own stored music in a kind of radio-style subscription service.

– This is radio without borders. It’s so laid-back you want, or as interactive you want, explained Google’s chief engineer Chris Yerga at developing the Google I / O in San Francisco on Wednesday.

Like Spotify also has Google landed contracts with all the major labels and the service was launched for the U.S. market yesterday. This beat Google rival Apple on your fingers, which also wants to launch a similar service, but who are still in negotiations with record companies.

price of Google Play Music All Accesss will be $ 9.99 per month in the U.S., the same as Spotify, but what the service will cost in Sweden, or when it launches, is still unclear.
