Log into your google account and click the link. It gave me a 90 day free trial even though I had previously signed up for one before.

Make sure you cancel before the 3 months end, else you will be charged the first months subscription automatically.

Note that some users are reporting that this link only gives a 30 day trial, and some not at all.

If you don't have any luck with the link above, you can try the one posted in Android Authority http://www.androidauthority.com/google-play-3-months-free-al….

Protip from fryandlaurie: You can cancel your renewal from Settings>Music account without affecting All Music access. That only cancels the renewal and not the actual all music pass. Enjoy :-)

    No free option for me. I have previously used a free trial, and paid for the service for a while before unsubscribing.

    New users only.

      I managed to get the three months free even though I previously did a free trial.

        As long as approximately 11 months have passed since you finished your last free trial, you're able to trial the service again

    • krunchy on 19/11/2014 - 08:18

      Sorry mate. It worked for me even though, like you, I had trialled and paid for the service in the past. I've just posted an alternative link- maybe you will have better luck?

    • sheep-flown on 19/11/2014 - 10:27

      Subscriber here. I can confirm this is only for new subscribers.

      Clicking on the link will only show me this message: "This special offer is only valid for new All Access subscribers"

      Really liking their service. The library is not as complete as Spotify's (quite close) but the ability to upload my music really help fill the gaps in their library. No more "This music is not available in your country."

      Cons: No desktop standalone application. Must be used in a browser.

  • OzJD on 19/11/2014 - 08:30

    I'm on a second 90 day trial, only got it a few days ago until Feb.

    I think my first trial was when all access first started.

  • mlburnian on 19/11/2014 - 09:38

    got one thanks. on a side note, which of the streaming providers offer the best quality audio?

    • krunchy on 19/11/2014 - 09:48

      I'm not sure about Google Play Music, but spotify premium streams up to 320kbps

    • sheep-flown on 19/11/2014 - 10:34
      +1

      Play music streams up to 320kbps as does Spotify.

      There is also www.qobuz.com which streams FLAC for 20 euros per month, iirc.

    • elektron on 19/11/2014 - 10:42

      They both offer 320kbps for premium subcribers (Spotify needs to be set to 'Extreme quality' setting); however Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis and Google Play Music All Access uses MP3.

      Ogg is supposed to be the better compression format, but at this bit rate 99% of people would not be able to hear the difference between Spotify, Google or CD-quality / FLAC on 99% of recordings. I can hear some differences on well-recorded acoustic or classical music between 320kbps and FLAC, but Spotify and GPMAA sound on par to me.

      Also, unless you are using bluetooth speakers or headphones with AptX support AND your phone / player has AptX, you will not be able to hear anything higher quality than 320kbps (again, this won't matter to 99% of people). This doesn't apply to wired headphones / speakers of course.

    • stupidmansuit on 19/11/2014 - 11:27

      As someone who has used both Spotify and GPMAA, I have to say GPMAA does have better quality music. I know they are technically both 320kbs, but when I switched to GPMAA I found the sound quality noticeably better - especially when you use their web player. I'm a bit of an audiophile, so maybe you won't notice it as much as I did, but especially when you have good gear you will notice a difference in quality (at least I did anyway). Also it is possible you won't notice as much difference on a phone (it actually sounded more flat to me on the phone - maybe even worse than spotify - but at the same time I switched to an iPhone so I can't do a comparison there - could just be the iPhone DAC). But definitely on the computer - sounded much better than Spotify.

      • elektron on 19/11/2014 - 11:31

        This shouldn't have been the case. Did you check to see if your Spotify SQ setting was set to 'extreme'?

      • sentinel on 19/11/2014 - 12:26

        Have also experienced GPMAA to be slightly better SQ when I had trial subscriptions to both services at the same time and played the same track. Did have Spotify set to 'extreme' but the fact is sound quality is a subjective thing. I appreciate highs in the music and found GPMAA to be noticeably better (at least to me.)

    Too bad I currently have a paid subscription.

    The reason I switched from Spotify to this a few months ago is because with GPMAA I only needed to get a Chromecast to stream music to my home theatre using a phone / tablet. Spotify wanted me to buy a new A/V receiver to do the same.

      Just go to 'Explore', then you'll see the various options like genres, featured, new releases and recommended.

      There's a ton of other options, make sure you use the '…' menus, which change depending on the context.

      That would depend on your preferences. There's a few comments from users of both services in this post. As stated above, I cancelled my paid Spotify subscription and have been a paid GPMAA subscriber for a few months.

      The catalogues and sound quality are similar but GPMAA has the edge in features IMHO, as it allows you to upload your own albums / songs (even in FLAC) to fill any gaps.. GPMAA also works with Chromecast. Spotify doesn't and requires much more expensive hardware to do the same.

    Couldn't help noticing that the payee is Google Ireland. Ireland is a well-known tax haven. Looks like Google isn't keen on supporting Australian public health or education or defense… No way am I actually paying money for this.

    Edit: just saw Miztadave's post above.

    • elektron on 20/11/2014 - 09:54

      For the record, I didn't neg you, but I think it's a pretty ignorant view of the world. As we don't live under a communist system, a corporation's main responsibility is to it's shareholders, i.e. make as much money as you can without breaking the law. The governments control the legislation that defines what is allowable and it is up to the government to close any real or perceived loopholes.

      It is the governmant's responsibility to worry about our education, defence etc - not Google's. The trick is not to over-tighten the screws (i.e. overtax) and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, which would make the country uncompetitive for business globally.

      However, I agree that the balance is skewed towards the large multi-nationals at the moment (and Apple is no better than Google in this regard), which is exactly why the government of the day is trying to address this and it was a big agenda item at the G20.
