Gear (Mac) - Google Music Player to an iTunes-style

One of the major downsides Google Music is the lack of applications for Mac and Windows. Until recently there were only one unofficial app for Mac - Radiant Player. We found one more, Gear, and tell whether it to buy it.

Streaming music services are gaining in popularity. In 2013, for example, the number of subscribers strimingovyh services increased by 40% compared with the previous year. And this number only continues to grow.

But this information is not very useful. Indeed, we have "In contact with». The problem is that we can not bring ourselves to pay for music even a little money. Therefore, each streaming service allows a trial period during which you can enjoy all the benefits of such services as compared with the usual "VKontakte".

Since in our country one of the most popular streaming services is Google Music, in this article we will talk about a decent app for it.

The main trouble is Google Music is that it has no service or application for the Mac, or for Windows. We have to be limited to web-based version, which is not always convenient. Gear solves this problem. The application looks like a copy of iTunes. Good or bad - you decide.

The app gives you access to almost all features Google Music. Only minus is that it is not always clear at a glance how to reach them. It is possible to flip playback on other gadgets for AirPlay or send your Chromecast.

There is even an equalizer. However, here it is, rather, just for show. However much I twisted sliders, could not get a decent sound. In comparison with Radiant Player, Another player to Google Music, Gear app looks simple enough. I did not like the abundance of text. Some graphics, such as album art or photos of performers, would not hurt.

The main complaint about the player - is the price. Gear is worth 349 rubles. I would certainly recommend Gear to buy, because it is definitely better than the web version of the service. But, since there is absolutely free Radiant Player, I see no point in spending money. Gear is worth buying only if you have something does not suit Radiant.
