Spotify has managed in a matter of a few years to change the entire world music scene, even modifying the way many people acquire and listen to music. However, very few services have managed to compete or even imitate the model implemented by the Swedish company. Now, Google, could be preparing its own streaming music service with a free modality, and it would arrive throughout this year 2013.
This is indicated by sources such as Financial Times y The Verge, which affirm that the Mountain View company is already in talks with distributors and record companies in the world of music to reach agreements that allow them to use the songs in the conditions they seek. Obviously, the task of Google now it would have much less merit, since once companies have agreed to agreements with other services such as Spotify, there is no reason not to do so with the rest, especially when this only serves to earn money in a different way. However, what we do hope is to know what the conditions of the new services of GoogleAnd if it could compete with what Spotify offers, which for 9,99 euros per month you can listen to its entire musical catalog and even download it to listen to it offline.
Apparently, what is expected of the service Google is that it had two modalities, a free one that would be totally unlimited but that would introduce advertising, something logical speaking of the king of Internet advertising; and another for payment that would eliminate this advertising and that would allow other options, such as perhaps synchronizing the music to listen to it offline or something like that.
In any case, we will still have to wait, because this type of service has an essential problem, and that is that its conditions in the United States will not be the same as in Spain, which will require that agreements be reached in our country before that can be launched, and we already know how they are with the subject of copyright. Either way, chances are that the Google I/O 2013 new details are given about this musical service that is just around the corner.
