Music: Google prepare a competitor Deezer and Spotify - The Point

Google’s enough to be outdone on some advertising markets, due to his absence from the music industry. The Internet giant is about to launch its own streaming service listening, maybe Wednesday on the occasion of its Google / lecture I O. Google Music, if that is his name, will be faced with Spotify, Deezer or Qobuz, but not directly to iTunes. Apple’s website is indeed not (yet) a listening service, but a platform for downloading. It is rather in terms of use that the two giants will compete: Apple tries to protect iTunes while Google Music will be taxed on the Apple devices as well as on other
.

To prepare this launch, Google signed an agreement with

at least one record company (Warner Music), while the site The Verge says that common ground had been found with Universal and Sony Music. Of sesame essential to be able to offer online catalogs majors. One imagines that the negotiations have been (or still are) difficult, while the music industry has always sounded by technological change, and the Net giants generally impose their demands on content producers from all sides.

rumored, Google has two parallel projects: one backed by YouTube, with one paid and one free, supported by advertising, and another service available through its store Google Play. If this was the case, not sure that is very relevant transaction, the ideal would be for Google to have a unified service that could, why not give a boost to its Google+ social network, which is struggling to take off.
