A Gaana.com subscription lets you stream an unlimited number of songs ad-free, while a Gaana+ premium plan costs Rs 99 per month, letting you sync your profile to five devices and download and stream an unlimited number of songs.Apple Music will be launching for iOS, Mac and PC devices, and will be available for the Apple TV and Android smartphones later this year. The company has also made the first three months’ subscription free, to allow users to take it for a spin before committing.
