Apple's music-streaming service may soon integrate with Google Home and other third-party speakers that support Google Assistant, as well as Smart Displays and Android TV devices.
Transferring playlists between multiple music services is easy until you attempt to do it manually. Instead of having to painstakingly recreate your personal, carefully curated Apple Music playlists on another music-streaming service like Spotify or YouTube, or vice versa, you can just use an app to get the job done.
Google will combine its YouTube Red and Google Play Music subscription services into a brand new subscription package, YouTube's head of music Lyor Cohen has confirmed during today's panel session for the New Music Seminar conference in New York.

Ahead of Apple Music launch tomorrow following its three-month trial period, Google at today's event announced that its own subscription-music service, called Google Play Music, will offer a new family plan later this year.

Ahead of the June 30 Apple Music debut, Google has cunningly enabled a free streaming tier on its music subscription service called Google Play Music.
The ad-supported tier, which acts as a personalized radio station, is only available in the U.S.

Google's music locker in the cloud, called Play Music, has just outsmarted every rival service out there by more than doubling its storage limit, letting you store 50,000 songs in the cloud as opposed to the previous 20,000-song limit.

The change, effective immediately, gives Google Play Music more competitive footing against Apple's scan-and-match $25 per year iTunes Match service that supports storing up to 25,000 user-uploaded songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store).
