Details of YouTube subscription music service leak
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 20 August 2014
Some details about Google’s YouTube music subscription service have leaked, reports Android Police. Though a launch date is still unclear, the website claims that the service will be called YouTube Music Key and will cost users $9.99 per month to access.
As previously reported, the paid YouTube service has been known to be in development since last year. However, there have been many delays to its launch, mostly thought to be licensing related. This came to a head earlier this year when trade body the World Independent Network accused Google of trying to strong arm indie labels into signing unfavourable deals.
Android Police has published a series of screengrabs apparently showing YouTube Music Key in operation on the Android mobile operating system, and also points to the fact that Google has registered the domain name youtubemusickey.com. Though a company owning a domain name doesn’t really mean much until it’s actually using it.
The site also claims that Google Play Music All Access is to be rebranded Google Play Music Key, which will at least stop people from mocking that terrible name. If only because there’ll now be two new awful product names to mock.
