Google Launches Free Streaming Service

[Guest]

Google has launched a free version of its music streaming service on June 23, as it sought to upstage the debut of Apple Inc's rival service next week. Google Play Music has offered a $9.99 per month subscription service for two years but this launch is the first free version of the streaming service. It is available online and will be available on Android and iOS by the end of the week, Elias Roman, Google product manager, said. Unlike Google's subscription music service, the free service will carry ads, be unavailable offline and exclude certain songs.

Google, sticking with playlists was an easier approach to free music than the on-demand, ad sponsored tier that Spotify offers.
