Google has finally made its rumoured new Music streaming official, and it has called it “Google Play Music all access”. The Spotify like streaming service also has few more tricks up its sleeve, with Pandora like tailored radio with curated content with respect to taste. With this service announcement, Google has seriously stepped up its game in the music services field. Priced at 9.99$ per month, this will be available first in the United States and eventually in other markets. India might get it very very late though, as Google Play Music itself is not available here.

There are different sections in Google Play music all access. Explore lets you explore various kinds of music and genres, featured content has curated content from Google’s own music curators and also automatically recommended too. The new releases section has all the new releases, obviously. Instant radio, which is like Pandora radio, can turn any single song into a radio station instantly, and the queue list is highly interactive in which you can swipe away songs or re order them easily.

Other features include a detailed artist view, “Listen now” which is tailored to user’s preferences in music library as well as in all access. The best thing is that Google Play music all access works on Tablets and web browsers too, with a very similar UI and feature set.

All the announcements are on going at the Google I/O conference, you can watch it here –
