This is going to be huge and dwarf Spotify, Beats, Pandora, etc.... Anybody following this?
In addition a 30+ million song library, a YouTube Music Key subscription will give you access to thousands of ad free music videos for non-stop streaming and unlimited skips. I own a couple hundred music videos but having access to thousands of them ad free is appealing.
I think this will eventually sink the niche players like Spotify, Pandora, Beats, etc.
It's no TIDAL, but I believe the audio quality is in the range of 320kbps MP3, or comparable to Spotify.

I think you are probably right. This is going to be interesting to watch.
My kids use YouTube more than any other "service' or source to enjoy their music.
They are also throwing in Google Play w the subscription.
I think more competition is always better, but I am unsure why you would think that this is much better than Spotify. To me it looks like a 'push'.
Cut-Throat
I don't know that it's better than Spotify but I think there's huge potential for the YouTube/Google Play service to eclipse (and eventually extinguish?) the many existing streaming services. The sheer market share grab by the YouTube/Google Play combo is a major force and threat.
I would welcome this since there is already a LMS plugin that uses the API. One thing i discovered much to my chagrin recently is that Triodes Spotify plugin wont't work with Inguz, so the RC filters are unusable with the stream. MOG was usable. I'd really love to have MOG back. I liked the interface much better. So far, Rhapsody has not given me any reason to return though, as they have not met the higher streaming quality standards that Spotify and MOG have.
