Sony’s new unlimited music service powered by Qriocity which went live in the UK in December has now arrived in the US, Australia, and New Zealand.
The new service features six million tracks from Sony Music Entertainment, Universal, EMI, and Warner and is available on Sony devices including the PS3, VAIO PCs, Blu-ray disc players, and Sony Bravia televisions. As well as being available soon on Android and iOS devices once the applications for both are rolled out later this year.
The new service is available in two tiers, a basic membership which provides an interactive radio experience for $3.99 per month, together with a premium $9.99 per month service providing subscribers on-demand access to the Music Unlimited library.
Features and Benefits
Sony’s Qriocity music service is designed to offer a seamless and rich music experience across multiple devices. The basic membership tier, priced at $3.99 per month, offers an interactive radio experience. This tier allows users to enjoy a variety of radio stations tailored to their musical preferences. The premium tier, at $9.99 per month, provides on-demand access to the entire Music Unlimited library, which includes six million tracks from major music labels like Sony Music Entertainment, Universal, EMI, and Warner.
One of the standout features of the premium service is its ability to create personalized playlists. Users can curate their own music collections, making it easier to access their favorite tracks anytime. Additionally, the service offers offline playback, allowing users to download songs and listen to them without an internet connection. This is particularly useful for those who travel frequently or have limited data plans.
Device Compatibility and Future Expansion
The Qriocity music service is compatible with a wide range of Sony devices, including the PlayStation 3, VAIO PCs, Blu-ray disc players, and Sony Bravia televisions. This extensive compatibility ensures that users can enjoy their music on various platforms, whether they are gaming, working, or watching TV.
Moreover, Sony has announced plans to expand the service to Android and iOS devices later this year. This expansion will make the service more accessible to a broader audience, allowing users to enjoy their music on the go. The upcoming applications for Android and iOS are expected to offer the same features as the current service, including personalized playlists, offline playback, and access to the extensive music library.
