Google services to streamed music is said to be complete.
Already during Wednesday’s developer conference can be presented.
– It is not surprising, it’s this way the industry has been on the road a long time, says Aftonbladet technology expert Peter Pettersson.
Google intends to break into the market for streaming music, that provide multiple sources, according to the New York Times.
The new service, whose name is not yet known, can be presented as early as today (Wednesday) over to company’s annual developer conference I / O.
Google to have recently signed a deal with Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, for both Google Play and YouTube. A similar agreement has already been signed with Warner Music Group, which means that Google now has agreements with the three major players in the music market.
– It will be interesting to see how it goes. It has the world’s best marketplace in Google Search, you can get this both quickly and cheaply, says Peter Pettersson.
“Anxiously with Spotify”
news of the new music service was first released on the technology The Verge, to which a spokeswoman from Google would not comment on the details.
Unlike Spotify so will Google music service does not exist in a free version. Instead, a subscription cost is deducted each month for the service, which should be linked to Google Play.
Peter Pettersson think the atmosphere may be somewhat anxious on Spotify’s office today.
– When the two big, Google and Apple, are beginning to deal in this business, it becomes difficult for the smaller, such as Spotify.
He argues, however, that Google must succeed repackage their services law, to attract customers from its Swedish competitor.
– Being able to share music, send listings to friends and take your music when you go to a party, there are things that users are accustomed to and want, says Peter Pettersson.
Want to get ahead of Apple
Google has previously been difficult to compete against iTunes in terms of music. But when Apple’s negotiations with music companies dragged on, regarding its own streaming service, Google hopes now able to take significant market share from services like Spotify and Pandora.
– It may well be that Google has agreed to give away more money, just to get started before Apple says Peter Pettersson.
Spotify has over 24 million users worldwide, of which 6,000,000 are paying. Pandora has over 200 million users, most of which are free users, but is not currently available outside the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.
While the new service is rumored to be on the road, so bet Google is also a music section on Youtube. It is still unclear how the new part of Youtube will work and be designed.
Clearly if there will be a music service or not, we know at 18.00 on Wednesday evening.
– There has still leaked so much and from multiple sources, then it usually sue. But we’ll see, says Peter Pettersson.
