Chapter 151 Google Audio - New music service to compete with Spotify

Verse 1

Several sources now say that Google will release its own music service, possibly called Google Audio.

Techcrunch was the first with screenshots of how the new service might look like but it was then unclear of it would be a question of streaming or downloadable content. At least four major music labels was said to have been contacted by Google at that time.
Expressen now confirms that there will both be streaming possibilities as well as an option to buy music from all the major labels.
The thought has been to reduce the number of steps a customer has to take to be able to buy music online.

We might expect to see this new service on Wednesday of next week although it is still unclear if it will be available outside the US.
