As the main highlight of the music library is to provide a set of fresh and assorted music tracks, Roman stated that Google Play Music would have machine learning abilities to make experience deeply personalized for users.

The technologies help in recommending music based on each listener’s preference place and activity.




Talking about the subscription, Apple Music has a more affordable plan (which is for students only) Rs. 60 per month. If you fall under the non-student profile, then the price shoots up to Rs. 120 per month.

However, if you’ve never used Apple Music before, you get a free trial for 3 months. Apple also offers a family subscription plan for just Rs. 190 per month and this can be used by up to six people.
