Is anyone else seeing music available to buy in the local Play Store from this morning?

 

[DJ...]

Yup. Opened in the SA store. But not available to download yet...

The app or music? I can see the app in the play store. Though it was preloaded on my phone.

Had a quick look around.... amazed at how many local stuff is available. Even old bands that dont exist anymore.

This is going to be a hard for me thats all ready heavily invested in iTunes. I use iTunes for mixing purposes as it integrates very well with Traktor. Will try them side by side and see if that works.

Trying it out (web player), and absolutely loving it so far.

Awesome! Finally!

Mine is downloading, but I think there are only certain ones you can download.

See there is a "Download only" option in the menu. Turned it on, selected from that, and downloaded fine.

Can I listen to Google Play Radio online, like Apple iTunes Radio, without signing up for the trial ?

How do I go about listening to the web player ?

I've not the foggiest actually - I have only used it with the trial active.

I just popped the following into my browser:

Download options turns off streaming and only palys cached or downloaded songs.

Yeh, forget what I said. Completely not right

This service seems really great. I got the free trial just out of curiosity, but I think I'm going to switch from Deezer to this.

Interesting, wonder why it took so long, iTunes South Africa media purchases have been here for a few years already?

It's because we are seen world wide as a small insignificant little country. Our honoralbe president just made us the biggest continent in the world, so they had to take note
