Google Play Music comes to Canada at last

Google Play Music welcome page

Canadians are used to getting short shrift on internet media services compared to their American neighbors — just ask them how little Netflix content they get. They’re receiving better treatment today, though, as Google Play Music has finally arrived in the true North strong and free. You can now can set up web-based access, store music in an online locker, shop for tunes and sign up for an All Access subscription at $10 CAD per month ($8 if you register by June 30th). With that said, the Android app isn’t yet acknowledging the new services; you also won’t find the iOS app just yet. It’s early goings, then, but it’s clear that Canucks now have a major alternative to the handful of big-name music services that operate in their country, including iTunes and Rdio.
