If you've considered signing up for a music streaming subscription then here's an offer that you might like. Google is currently gifting new subscribers to Google Play Music a free four-month membership. Also included is a subscription for YouTube Red, with all its great benefits, including offline playback and ad-free videos.

The only catch, if you can even call it that, is that after four months you will have to pay $9.99 a month for the service. If you are just interested in the freebies, you can cancel your subscription any time after signing up and still enjoy the entire four-month trial. What's not to like about that?

As you might expect, the offer is only valid for new customers. If you've subscribed in the past but don't have a current subscription, you can always give it a try just to see if you get lucky. I wasn't. Looks like I'll have to pay to listen to dulcet tones of Michael Bublé, Elvis, and Mariah Carey this holiday season. Better luck to you, follow this link to see if you qualify.
