Google Music: Buy A Song/Album And Your Friends Listen For Free
Google is pumping out some pretty cool announcements at their Google Music event in LA and I’m pretty excited about one feature they just announced. Not only is it ridiculously easy to buy music through the web/mobile and have it available anywhere, but if YOU buy a song or album- ALL your friends can listen to it once for free (through Google Plus).
This reminds me a lot of Amazon’s book lending program with their Kindle. The difference is you don’t just “lend” a song to one person… it automatically gets posted on ALL of your friends’ G+ pages for easy listening.
So if you buy an album, decide to share it during the purchase process, and you and I are friends, I can listen to the album in it’s entirety. That’s pretty amazing.
Any Facebookers out there who haven’t made the jump to Google+ reconsidering? By the way, Google Music is now live to everyone, everywhere.
Rock on.
