Earlier today, Google announced that the Music service has stepped in the Australian continent and expanded to some more European countries.
Along with Google+, the announcement that Google Play Music has expanded to seven more countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand and Portugal. Users in these seven countries can now subscribe to Google Play Music via their mobile device running Android 2.2 or higher, as well as online.
