Everland I'm Jessica's all-court for CNN I'm gonna give you a quick little tour of Google Music all access this is a new unlimited subscription part of the Google Music Service now before you could just upload all your music onto google music or you could buy songs and then play them all the time with all access this is a paid subscription that also lets you stream and listen to music that you don't know so it's a lot like Pandora Spotify slacker radio so you've got a radio feature on here and a bunch of other things I'm going to show you on this phone but it will also work for Google music on your desktop now let's get pricing out of the way its $9.99 per month but there is a free 30-day trial also if you get it before June 30th it will only be $7.99 per month so that's right about inline with Pandora subscription service however there is no free music subscription if you want to use the radio features there are some features you're going to recognize from Google music before like listening now the basic layout your library and of course playlists that you've created so going into the radio mode you can create new stations based on artists that you like or your favorite songs some new things that you can do that's really cool you can see what's coming up next either by sliding your finger across the screen or by pressing a button and actually previewing what's ahead in the queue if you don't like a song that's in the queue you can just slide it away and get rid of it for good there's also this feature called Explorer there are some recommended stations there are some featured stations new releases there recommendations for you based on what you have already listened to that's adaptive so over time it may hone itself a little bit more to your tastes there are on RZA's well and these are curated by Google employees in the featured section you can see some top albums for example some top songs as well and in the recommended list you might see up to let's say 20 albums that have been recommended for you occasionally you'll see a little pin icon that you can tap or click and that will keep the music for later if you choose the option to save the cue then this will create an offline playlist and you can just get to your playlist anytime you want from the settings you one thing I really like about the radio app and about the Google music app on the smartphone in general it's just the look in the feel feels very Android 4.0 so it's got a lot of the same familiar navigational icons and buttons so you really get to know your way around pretty easily Google Music all access isn't free but if you're already using google music and you're considering a subscription-based service then you might want to think about using it so far it looks really clean and the library seems deep I'm toxic as all core prasena this has been your quick tour of Google Music all access
