New Delhi: The long wait is finally over as Google‘s Play Music service is set for an India launch very soon.

If screenshots shared by Reddit users are to be believed, then India is going to be the next to get Play Music. Currently, Google Play Music service is available in 63 countries, and while the app is preloaded on Android smartphones, the streaming services are not enabled in India.

According to the screenshots, few Reddit users were able to play selected songs from the app’s web version. The songs were also listed along with price tags in Indian rupees. A song is priced around Rs 15, while an album is priced somewhere between Rs 135 and Rs 150.

While there is no official announcement yet, it is very surprising as to why the long wait and why now? If we take a look at the online music streaming services there are few popular services Saavn, Gaana, Wynk Music, Hungama and Apple Music to name a few. These apps not only offer the latest music but have subscription rates that best suits the India market. So Play Music will definitely face tough competition.

In addition to this rumours suggest that YouTube Red might also come to India. Launched by Google in October it will allow users to watch YouTube ad-free, save videos offline, play videos in the background and more.

Recently YouTube has introduced smart downloading in India. This feature lets users download videos overnight for later offline viewing. Also the company has announced that it will be rolling out live streaming service for content creators like AIB, straight from the app.
