Google play music is for music and YouTube red is for video without ads and some premium content.
Either way, it's a package deal. If you subscribe to one you get the other.
I've had google play music since it was announced, and I think it's awesome. Still have it at the $7.99 promo price too.
Haha yeah. Internet battlez r cool.
Oh yeah, and just so the mods don't ding me for being off topic...screw monthly subscription services! I'll take 4 free months though.
I have Apple Music at the student rate which equates to £5 a month. Have to admit not used much (Doesn't help with how Air Play can be so unreliable).Bought an Amazon Dot on impulse for £39 and quite impressed. Now thinking about purchasing Amazon unlimited instead. In terms of Apple,Google and Amazon who has the most comprehensive music library?
Google, Spotify, and Apple all have catalogs of approx 30+ million songs. Depending on the genre(s) you're most interested in, none are really better than the other. Can't really go wrong with either. Amazon seems to have fewer songs than the others. I like Google because you get YouTube Red for free. Again, choose one and be happy. It really doesn't make a big difference which one you choose.
I did a free 4 month trial about 3 or 4 months ago.... but I canceled, because I have an annual sub to Apple Music, which works for me. But I took advantage of this deal, because I really like having YouTube Red. I wish Google offered YouTube Red for $4.99 per month and I'd subscribe, but in terms of the music service I still prefer Apple Music.
I would love to see the rough estimate of how much money a big company like Google makes off this from people that forget to cancel the subscription. I know I have personally been caught slipping by these kinds of offers in the past. I figure it has to be enough that it is worth it, even if nobody purposely subscribed I'm sure they must make a nice chunk of change.
Do you subscribe to cable? Netflix/Hulu? Ever rent an apartment? Lots of good reasons. I would rather have access to every song then own a small subset.
It's apple fans that have been complaining about ping and connect....
At the end of the day, a lot of people don't want to own music. Some prefer to listen to a boatload of music without having to own it. Ownership of the music doesn't make it better.
Why subscribe to the internet? You can't own the internet so there's no point!
How does one simply subscribe to the 4 month trial without a credit/debit, paypal or google redemption code?
Play Music has poor sound quality which I why I did not keep it. Also I don't care about ad free YouTube as all I watch is a tech or science video now and then. Apple Music has better sound quality until I tried Spotify 3 months for $0.99 and the sound quality is even better too bad I have to say with AM as Spotify has much less songs then even Play Music has.
That is simple set a calendar alert or reminder alert a day or two before it renews. However, you could cancel tomorrow and you can continue the service for the full 4 months.
It's worth saying that if English is not your native language or you live oversees, Apple Music is the best deal for you as it offers millions of tracks of world music in the US store. It is also way easier use a US account (Apple ID) oversees with Apple than Google.

Just asking, it the quality controlled by Apple, Google & Spotify or by the studios?
