Google
today announced it's (finally) bringing podcasts to help its Google Play Music
service from the U. S. and The us. With this, it follows from the footsteps of
services including Spotify, which recently launched podcast support outside of
beta, and - certainly - iTunes, which was on the list of first music players to
back up podcasts back in 2005.
Past
October, Google launched a portal for podcasters from the U. S. who needed to
bring their shows to help Google Play Music. Right at that moment, though, it
didn’t announce when the chance to play podcasts in this app would go dwell for
listeners. By January, a few Google Engage in Music users started finding a
podcast section into their apps (likely because The search engines was testing
this feature), so today’s launch doesn’t come to be a major surprise.
It’s
worth noting that Google isn’t a whole lot creating a standard podcast
directory site, but is instead working on an experience that is related to that
of its contextual playlists intended for music. “Similar to your contextual
playlists for new music, you can now focus on podcasts based on what exactly
you’re doing, how you’re feeling or what you’re keen on, ” the company
publishes articles in today’s announcement. You possibly can, of course, also
try to find specific shows; once you get one you like, you possibly can
subscribe to it by means of either downloading new indicates automatically or
by choosing for getting notified when a completely new episode arrives.
Podcasters
who wish to be included in Google’s program can still head over to the Google
Play New music podcast portal and create their shows.
It took the company
many years to bring this feature to its very own apps. While Apple started
bundling some sort of podcast client with iOS many years ago, Google always
left foreign currency trading to third-party apps including Pocket Casts. As
podcasts progressed in popularity, though, Google clearly wanted to have a
piece of this pie, too. This move will definitely help the company get more
people to at lowest try Play Music.
