Google at a special event "These Go To Eleven" officially launched its cloudy Google Music, and also introduced a new music shop in the Android Market, of which there were so many rumors.
Search giant introduced a beta version of the service Music in may at the annual activities of the Google I/O. Now this service has increased in the broader platform Google Music, which enables users to find and purchase your favourite tracks and share them with friends.
The Google Music allows users to still upload your music on cloud servers and to receive access to it in flow mode, with all the supported devices. The service is free and anyone can get access to it at the address music.google.com. As soon as the music downloaded or purchased, the user can attach it to a variety of devices and then listen to it, even when there is no internet connection.
Google obviously struck Apple during the announcement of the service, when indicated that Google Music free of charge and allows users to upload up to 20 thousand of his own compositions. And then added that "other services believe that you have to pay for the music you already have; we think differently". However, it is worth remembering that the "other services" allow people not upload all your music in the cloud, in contrast to Google Music, where this is required (for a good internet connection is not the problem, of course).
More importantly, Google entered, at last, officially on the market of selling music. The songs will be available in Android Market for Android users will have access to a huge database of 13 million songs - quite an impressive figure. The cost of each is $1 or $1,3 - prices are slightly disappointing, because of Google, many were expecting a more low, than the competitor's prices, but this sphere, obviously, is controlled by the publishers. Users are free to buy as individual songs, and albums, each song is available as an MP3 320 Kbit/s and for the first 90 seconds can be accessed free of charge. Every day Google provides a free song in addition to hundreds of free, which is already available.
After the purchase of the songs appear as in the library of the Google Music, so the Music Manager (PC client of this service). In addition to the actual songs Google Music also offers many associated with the music content on the web site, including video interviews with some artists.
Google has signed agreements with various publishers, including such large as Universal, EMI and Sony Music. All will be invited to 13 million songs, with 8 million of them are already available. Share music with friends, you can use the social network Google+: favorite song, you can publish in your tape for free single trial listening. Google in the Music give users a range of exclusive content (never previously published editions of some well-known groups).
Independent artists will be able to get access to the special center of the Artist Hub, which will allow them to distribute music over Google Music. For this service they will have to pay a lump sum of $25, and then to receive 70% of the sales of their music through the store. Unfortunately, the service so far is only available for Android users in the united states and requires the availability of mobile Android OS 2.2 or later.
