Google Music is no longer in the Beta phase and is launching its final version for Android.
Much has been said about the competition between Apple and Google for the dominance of operating systems related to mobile devices, as I mentioned in a previous article Andorid vs iOS 5. But well, now Google is redoubling its bet by trying to take away a new market; or at least a large portion; where Apple was absolute king since it launched iTunes in 2003, yes, gentlemen, Google enters the world of online music.
What Google Music offers
Google Music Store is available in the Android Market for mobile devices and has 13 million songs organized by albums where you can buy, store and transmit MP3 files. Songs cannot be downloaded unless a US credit card is associated with the account. Although there is no official date, it plans to enter Europe soon.
Google Music would initially have three of the most recognized record labels, among which we can name EMI, Universal and Sony, which have already decided to support the internet giant's project. Regarding Warner Music, with a slightly more conservative position, it will not be part of Google Music, at least for the moment. Another 23 independent labels, of lesser renown, also joined the project.
As expected and from what can be seen, the social media factor will be transcendental since Google Music will be related to Google Plus, purchasing users will be able to share songs with contacts in their circles, who will be able to listen to them without making any purchase.
Google Music vs. iTunes
As has been happening in the last two years, Google's expansive policy in almost all technological channels seems to have no brakes, company purchases, inexhaustible resources, insertion into new markets, plus the power to have a search engine that is consumed by 90% of the world's population and on top of all this, recognizing that it is impressively successful in any endeavor, there is no doubt that it will end up monopolizing most of the market. As always happens, the decision will be made by the users when deciding who offers the best service.
