Indie Music Body Endorses Apple's New Music Streaming Service

Google Adds a Free Tier to Its Play Music Streaming Service

Apple Music won't be available for another week but music listeners now have a new free streaming service to consider: Google's Play Music. The company added a free tier to its service on the web and on its iOS and Android apps, Google announced Tuesday. Like other streaming services that offer a free version, Google' new tier for Play Music is ad-supported on the web and its mobile apps. Rather than an on-demand model like Spotify, Google's new free offering will focus on a selection of curated stations, based around genres, moods, activities or specific albums and songs.

Apple Launches New Music Streaming Service,

After plenty of speculation, Apple finally launched their new music streaming service during the Apple Worldwide Developers meeting in California today.

Along with Dre and Iovine, Apple has slotted former BBC Radio One personality Zane Lowe for a role in the streaming service, though his exact job hasn't been defined.
