Google Play offer – 4 months for free!

Google is currently holding a Google Play Music promotion where new U.S. subscribers can get the first 4 month trial period free. Like, completely free. It’s a 4th July celebration promotion, and it’s totally worth it if you have an Android phone, although it also has an iOS App as well as desktop access via web browser.

 

Play Music gives you  a library of over 35 million tracks, and the option to store up to 50,000 of your own songs using the Google Music Manager client.

 

It normally costs $9.99 a month. You can, of course, cancel your subscription at any time. With the trial, you’ll also get YouTube Red.

 

Check it out.

 

 

 

Netflix without WiFi? Huh?

There’s a rumor in Rumorville, Tech Street, that by the end of the year, everyone’s favorite chill spot, Netflix, will allow users to download content to watch without an internet connection. IT’S THE FUTURE, GUYS.

 

So you’re on a plane, or stuck somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and you want to CHILL, right? Maybe not the, uh, way the cool kids say it, but actually chill, with some of your favorite shows. BUT you have no internet connection!

 

Well, by the end of the year, reportedly and hopefully, that will no longer be a problem! Netflix has yet to comment on this possibility, and not all content will be available for copyright reasons – mainly Netflix originals.

 

Hello Orange Is The New Black with no internet!

 

 

 

 

Apple to buy Tidal?

Last week it was reported that Apple was in talks to buy Jay-Z’s music service Tidal, to maximize the users for their n music Service – Apple Music.

 

The story was broken by The Wall Street Journal, and these talks – spoken about by people ‘familiar with the matter’ – may not actually result in any deal. Neither company has commented on the rumor.

 

Beyonce’s Lemonade helped in the surge in popularity of Tidal earlier this year after it struggled to get market share. The streaming service focuses on exclusivity rather than the ability to access a lot of different music.

 

Tidal subscriptions cost $10 or $20 monthly, depending on if you want high-fidelity sound. There has been not mention of how much Apple would think Tidal is worth.

 

Do you think Apple will buy Tidal? Do you think it would help them boost Apple Music?
