Google Play Music All Access not available in Australia

New streaming service only available in the US

Google's new Play Music All Access streaming service isn't available in Australia, the company has confirmed.

The subscription music service was unveiled overnight at Google's annual I/O conference in San Francisco. It allows users unlimited access to millions of songs for US$9.99 per month.

The service works like existing competitors Spotify and Rdio, allowing users to stream songs on-demand to a computer or Android device. However, Google has not confirmed pricing or availability for markets outside of the US.

For US-users, a 30-day free trial of the service is available and Google will drop the monthly fee to US$7.99 for any users who sign up before Thursday, June 30.

Google Play Music All Access lets users add tracks to their library and download them for offline use. A radio service that creates a playlist based on a selected song, album, or artist is also available.

Other features of Google Play Music All Access include a recommendation service that will suggest new music to listen to, the ability to see what track is playing next and a playlist that combines local tracks and tracks available for streaming.

The Google Play Music All Access service is part of Google's existing music store for Google Play, called Google Play Music.

That service, which allows users to download and purchase music from the Google Play store and upload their own personal music collection to store in the Google Cloud, only launched in Australia last month, almost a year and a half since it made its debut in the US.
