Google Play Music is finally available in Canada

Unfortunately for some, Songza will be shutting down. However, the good news is it will be merging with Google Play Music. The even better news, especially for me, Google Play Music is coming to Canada!

Google Play Music now has a free, ad-supported streaming service available in Canada. Each station has music already picked out for you, all you have to do is click play and enjoy. You can also browse by genre, mood, decade or activity. As well as search for artists, albums, or songs to create your own station. Also, Songza users can join Google Play Music for free.

Google Play Music will also now support Podcasts. Listeners will be able to find Podcasts just like they can with normal songs thanks to Google’s curation technology that searches for things like your mood or interest. However, Podcasters will get first dibs at getting access to the service so they can upload all their shows before listeners start searching for them in the coming months.

Google Play Music is ad supported, but you can also subscribe for ad-free listening. The subscription also gives you access to offline music, ability to create your own playlists, and listen to any of the 30 million songs in Google’s library as much as you’d like. Also, almost as a bonus, you will get access to ad-free and offline YouTube music video content. Wether you decide to subscribe or stick to the free version, you will be able to store and play up to 50,000 songs from your own collection for free.
