Streaming music has become one of the favorite ways of many users when it comes to enjoying their favorite music whenever and wherever you want, without having to resort to pirated downloads, in fact, thanks to this, music download has dropped considerably in recent years, being the lifeline that record companies needed.
Although that Google now available from Google Music, their music streaming platform, it seems that it is a bit abandoned and the guys from Mountain View hardly pay attention to it. In fact, we have never known the number of subscribers it has had or currently has, but it seems that that is going to change.
YouTube is preparing a new streaming subscription system, which we do not know if it will replace Google Music or if it will be a cheaper alternative, something that does not make sense being both under the same umbrella. This service wants to start competing directly with Spotify and Apple Music from you to you, according to the publication Bloomberg, a service that could see the light during the month of March next year.
At the moment, it seems that Warner Music has already signed an agreement to offer its catalog through this new service and is currently in negotiations with both Sony and Universal and it seems that the negotiations for the moment are on the right track. The record company Merlin, which brings together a large number of independent labels, is also currently negotiating with YouTube to be able to offer its catalog through this new service.
This new service will not only offer us access to a wide musical catalog, but also would offer us direct access to the music videos of the songs, something that no other service offers us today. Taking into account that Google was one of the founders of Vevo, the official channel for music videos of most groups and artists, the negotiations that this consortium will not be complicated.
Regarding the price. Taking into account that in theory it will offer us the same catalog that we can currently find in other streaming music services and that it will also offer us direct access to their videos, there are more than enough reasons to think that the price will be the same as currently offered by both Apple Music and Spopify, 9,99 euros per month.
