This appeared on the front page of the Google Play Store for me today. As with all of these google freebies, it's probably limited to certain accounts. Usually if you haven't used Google Play Music in a year or so it should be ok for you to use.
You can cancel the subscription immediately and it will last 4 months.
Edit: I can recommend soundiiz.com to move playlists from one streaming service to another

I have a Mac. Is there a way to download music offline from it on Google Music? As sometimes I'm without an internet connection for days.

Good offer but FYI, if you already have large music collection, Play Music allows you to upload 50,000 tracks to the cloud for unlimited streaming for free :smile:
Edit: Use Google Play Music Manager to keep your music library in sync with the cloud and your full library will appear in the app or online.

Thanks for the info, I did not know this. Found it very easy to do and no need for a subcription either, result

Tell me more... where do I find out about this? Is it built into the the Google Music app (the upload tracks part)?
BubaMan to dorito

You can do it through Chrome with an add-in but it's a bit flakey... Use Google Play Music Manager to keep your music library in sync with the cloud and your full library will appear in the app or online.
Thanks, I'll look into it. :smile: I'm wavering between Google Play Music and Spotify (family subscriptions) but i'm holding out for Google to "properly join up" its YouTube Red offering with the Google Music for the UK market (like they do in the USA) and will hopefully pick Google once that's available here.

I think you need to evaluate that. My 20-year collection is full of [email protected] I'll never listen to and that's only 34,000.
SuperScottUK to BubaMan
11 Sep 17#87
I think 100,000 tunes would last you a litteral lifetime to listen to so I do not know why they doubled the allowance...... plus 34,000 tracks. Wow!
BubaMan to SuperScottUK
11 Sep 17#86
Oh - I thought you were saying your collection was 100,000. I think that extension is just for S8 users and you're right - it is excessive. I need to evaluate my collection tbh :relaxed:
I'd rather pay full whack Spotify than suffer Google Music's painful interface. Shame.

I'm new to Google Play Music so would I be right in saying that once your subscription ends, you can no longer access/play the songs you've downloaded?
spitthedog1964 to Shakey.Mic
8 Sep 17#75
Yep that happened to my playlist a few days ago when my 6 month free trial ended. Tried to sign up again with this new offer but it said for new customers only. Some have slipped through the net by the sounds of it so worth trying to sign up again for the people that have already had it.

Well that was annoying. I clicked 'Get deal' and it opened the offer page, but also opened up a new tab asking me to sign in to Chrome with a specific account (this is a family computer). I couldn't switch from the Chrome sign-in tab at all, had to close the browser and kill the two offending tabs.

:wink: the first vinyl album I bought was in Mono :smile:
But really I like to only use one ear bud when I am walking around so I can hear what is happening around me , part for safety and also so you can hear cars / bikes ETC around you...
Plus Stereo gives me a headache with some songs , just too busy
There are the No Pain / no Brain group who have headphones on and you can clearly hear their music 50 ft away..... its nice when you are older to be able to hear things without a hearing aide. that group will not have much hearing left in a few years......

I use Google Music to play most of my old songs which I ripped and uploaded to the service a few years back. If I ever actually buy music I also backup to it as a safety measure for the day my hard drive dies. But I've never tried the full service. I do have Amazon's Echo only deal which costs £3.99 a month for one Echo to get the full 40 million odd song database.
So I wasn't expecting to see the Google Music offer pop up for me... but it did. Might give it a try.

I had this deal before and it was pretty good, similar range of music to Spotify and the artist radio option threw up some good bands ( unlike Deezer Flow which mixes your previous choices with staid predictable boring mainstays ) I did have some problems when restarting after I had previously exited the App, it would either be silent for ages or start jumping between tracks, but worth the money !

4 Sep 17#13
I think if it's your own personal playlist it's free, but if it's someone else's you have to pay. I haven't used it in ages so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: Just looked at it again and it seems like it's in beta for play music so is only available to premium users
artnada to jhb019

What's this like compared to Spotify?
What I mostly like about Spotify is the Daily Mix's and the community playlists (IE, soundtracks for filmes, tv shows, games etc that people make).
Leonintelex to Alansk1
5 Sep 17#54
It's okay but think Spotify is a lot more intelligent with better suggestions.
Spotify is a significantly better at finding new music, Play just seems to suggest albums that are well known and been out for years. It was rare it suggested music I had never heard before.
I used it for a year but missed Spotify when I did.

How did you get a 3 year sub with groove?
HankHandsome to superfreddy
4 Sep 17#48
there was an offer on here a while back where someone had grabbed a load of 6 month codes for groove from a promotional event and posted them online. someone found out that if you applied the code to your account, refreshed the page and re-applied it, it would give you an extra 6 months.
you could keep doing it up to a maximum of 3 years, which i did.
charliemike to HankHandsome

Thats right up there with the Polish code someone found that gave you Tom tom traffic and speed camera annual subscription for £1 that you could re-apply about 7 times over to turn it into lifetime subscription. HUKD at its best.

PSA when you go to subscribe it offers you other Plans. This has the same individual and a family option. These are both for 30 days only. I nearly selected individual and lost out on 3 free months.

If you don't mind paying for 1 month then Groove Music has another six months ( or 2 x 3 months really) free. My Google play just finished. Didn't know about another 4 months free. Can't complain. just had 8 months free. 6 months Apple Music before that then 3 months Spotify before that although that may have been 99p for that one! This deal ends on the 5th Sept (today!).
