The Music Streaming Sites of Tech Giants

There are great many great streaming music sites out there. The best-known ones include Pandora and Spotify. There are even lesser known ones, like Trealer—Your Tracks Dealer, that are carving their own niche in this industry. But the technology giants don’t want to get left behind. Actually, they seem poised to crush the competition. Here are the streaming music services from the juggernauts.

Microsoft’s Groove Music

This first one is not making enough waves yet but is definitely worth looking into as it is developed by no other than Microsoft. Formerly known as Xbox Music or Zune Music, Groove Music offers streaming services for music through a subscription-based model or purchase through their Windows Store. Their catalog has over 38 million tracks. Not bad for a company who lost the music industry to rival Apple when the latter invented the iPod.

Amazon Prime Music

When Amazon decided to take on the publishing or books industry, there was little doubt that they were going to jump into the music industry soon. But what took them so long to jump in, only Jeff Bezos truly knows. Amazon Prime Music may be a relatively newcomer with a couple of million songs in its catalog, but with its encompassing consumer ecosystem, who could resist not giving their ad-free and on-demand music streaming service a try?

Google Play Music

Google Play Music has been around for awhile too. But you will be amazed how it has evolved over the years! Now, you can enjoy Google Play Music All Access. Well, that’s Google. Always at the vanguard of innovation. With about 35 million tracks it’s catching up with Microsoft. And with the company owning YouTube, the number one video sharing website, you can bet that Google has a great shot at dominating the music streaming space. Maybe it’s just a matter of time.

Many music-streaming sites come and go. But these tech giants, who plan to conquer the music space too or at least get a significant share of the market, will most likely stay for years to come. But who knows? You’ll never know when the next “Facebook” of streaming music will crush the “Friendster” and “MySpace” of the online music world today.
