Google Offers Free 4-Month Play Music Trial Subscription For July 4th (macrumors.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Google is offering new U.S. subscribers a four-month free trial for its Play Music streaming service in celebration of July 4th. While everyone has their preferred music streaming service, it's hard to pass up a deal like this. The Google Play Music service offers over 35 million tracks and is usually priced at about $9.99 per month, so the offer amounts to a $40 savings. What's more is that customers who sign-up for the trial also gain access to Google's ad-free YouTube Red service, which features original content, and enables offline and background playback of YouTube videos on mobile devices. If you sign-up for the trial and decide it's not for you, you can cancel at any time.

There are tons of free streaming music sites that cost nothing to listen to. I don't see any reason to pay a monthly fee to anyone.

One example that few people seem to be aware of is built into the free VLC multimedia player that many people have installed anyway for other purposes. Look under Playlists - Internet- Icecast Radio Directory and you'll be amazed at what's there. International radio stations by the hundreds.

I personally use the free version of RadioTunes on my Android phone when I'm driving somewhere. They advertise their own subscription service on it ("Sign up today!") but I haven't heard any advertising for anything else there.
