Google Play Music All Access makes its way to seven more European countries

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you felt left out by the European debut of Google Play Music All Access in August, hopefully Mountain View’s latest announcement brings you into the musical fold. According to Google’s support page — as spotted by Android Police — the search giant’s music locker and streaming service is now available in the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Russia and Switzerland. And given how fast European internet is, it shouldn’t take you nearly as long to upload a massive music collection as it did for us stateside, either.

Google Play Music All Access makes its European debut in nine countries

Posted in: Today's Chili

Three months after Google Play Music All Access debuted in the US and a month after it launched Down Under, the music subscription service has finally made its way across the globe to Europe. Well, to nine European countries at least. According to Google’s support page, it’s now available in Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and the UK. As with the other countries, there’s a promotional offer to help you get started. If you sign up for the 30-day trial before September 15th, you’ll only need to pay £7.99 or €7.99 a month after that. If you decide to wait however, the monthly subscription cost goes up to £9.99 or €9.99. No word yet on when the service will roll out to the rest of the world, but we’re sure the folks in Mountain View are hard at work making sure it does. After all, it has quite a bit of catching up to do.

Mixed messages on Nexus Q support suggest Google doesn’t know what to do with it, either

Mixed messages on Nexus Q support suggest Google doesn't know what to do with it, either

Yesterday there was some pretty damning news for owners of Google’s Nexus Q musical orb: the device isn’t supported in the current version of the its Play Music app. This much is undoubtedly true, and verified by many owners. What’s less clear, however, is whether this really is the end of the road. All the signs may be there, but some readers have forwarded us emails received from Google Play Support advising that a fix for Nexus Q streaming is definitely on the way. We contacted Google directly, but it was unable to give an official statement on the issue. We were simply told that the developer product never made it to commercial release, and as such the company can’t promise either way. Mountain View isn’t shy about shuttering much-loved services, so Nexus Q owners might take a small amount of solace from this current ambiguity, at least enough to delay taking matters into their own hands.

Google confirms Nexus Q not supported in latest version of Play Music

Google confirms Nexus Q not supported in latest version of Play Music

Google Play Music is about to reveal its saddest song… for owners of the Nexus Q that is. In fact, some might guess it’s the funeral march. Phandroid and Android Police both report having received confirmation that the latest update of Google’s Play Music service — that we saw outed yesterday — doesn’t support the firm’s own music streamer. A statement given to the websites confirms the fact, with little to suggest it’ll get any better for the little black ball going forward. Does this signify the final nail in the coffin? Potentially. But, given that it was erased from view on the Play store some time ago, and orders never charged, you might have already guessed that outlook not so good had been the prediction for some time.
