Behind closed doors, Warner Music and Google appear to have struck up a deal that will allow Google to stream music across both its Android music platform, Google Play and YouTube. Although the details are being kept very hush-hush at the moment, it is known that the upcoming streaming service will provide access to millions of songs to those who pay a monthly subscription fee.
‘While we don’t comment on rumour or speculation, there are some content creators that think they would benefit from a subscription revenue stream in addition to ads, so we’re looking at that,’ a YouTube spokesperson told Fortune.
