Google Music - BETA

theDreamer · 05-24-2011, 09:06 PM

Just got my invite to Google Music Beta, things I have learned so far:
-Can upload up to 20,000 songs
-Can ask the music from any computer (limit 8)
-Updated Android Music app allows streaming of my music and 'extra'
-Access to additional music of my choice
-Price - Currently free but it has been stated that a price will be added after it leaves beta

Currently my phone is still syncing with my account, at 150+ songs, and as each album is completed more choices are presented for me to try. I also got the option to select certain genres of music I wanted to have recommendations from, such as Classical, Rock, Hip-Hop, Pop, Country, etc.

There was another company that did this 10 years ago (mp3.com) only more securely (you had to insert the original CD for authentication) and I loved the sh*t out of it. Unfortunately they got sued to kingdom come by the RIAA. The industry has changed a lot since then and google has the legal team that can stand behind this so this time I think it will work and will be even better.

Google Music follows more the idea of Pandora/Slacker radio than mp3.com.
One reason we are just now seeing this from Google even though we have know it for a few years now, the music industry wanted more money from Google. So they have already paid the necessary people.
