It has long been rumored about a new online music service from Sony, and today the service has been launched into operation. By the way, the service is available for owners of many multimedia devices from Sony: TV series Bravia, Sony PS3, Vaio laptops, Blu-ray players and other gadgets. The payment scheme for music users, entered by developers, can be considered quite successful - there is a fixed monthly fee, which allows you to listen to an unlimited number of recordings per month. The disadvantages of the service include the inability to download files.
Not so long ago, the corporation bought the company Gracenote, the technologies of which were used in the development of a new service. Currently, the database of music files has about 6 million songs. In technical terms, the service is a cloud platform that allows you to listen to music in good quality. In order to listen to the music provided by the service, you need to download and install specialized software.

Unfortunately, now this service works only in the UK and Ireland. Soon, at the beginning of next year, the company promises to launch the service in many other countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, USA and others. Unfortunately, it is not yet known whether the service will be open for users from the CIS countries. The cost of a monthly subscription, depending on the type of subscription, is 4-10 pounds.
The service has one more drawback - it is not yet available for owners of mobile devices, but the developers will soon promise to correct this misunderstanding.
Well, another music stream service has appeared, which, one may think, will compete with the closest rivals. So far it is difficult to say what the service has advantages, distinguishing it from a number of similar ones. Let's hope that soon there will be an opportunity to test the Sony music service.
