Google Beats Apple in Launch of Subscription Streaming Service

No free ad-supported tier available

Google closed deals with the three major record labels earlier this week and beat out competitor Apple by unveiling its subscription music streaming service, Google Play Music: All Access, at its I/O developers conference.

Chris Yerga, Google's engineering director for Android, described it as "radio without rules." It might be unrestricted, but it isn't free. All Access subscribers pay $9.99 per month, with a 30-day free trial. Subscribers who sign up before June 30 get a discounted rate of $7.99
