Google Music

Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried out Google Music? If I understand everything correctly it's basically Google's version of iTunes/Windows Media Player that stores your music library on their systems so that you can have access to and stream it from any device that has access to your Google email (phone, tablet computer, work computer, etc.). That's what peaked my interest in giving it a try.

 

It's currently in beta testing, and people can sign up with their email to receive an invitation to join. I got mine today and am in the process of uploading my music library. It takes a while, but you can play songs that have finished their upload while the rest of your library finishes.

 

For more info, you can read up here: http://music.google.com/about/

 

There's also a link to ask for an invitation on that page if you'd like.

Alright, thanks. I don't think I'll really have much of a use for this service considering my lack connected-to-the-cloud devices, but hey, I love requesting invites for things.

Better or worse than Itunes?

 

No having to worry about transferring files back and forth from computers. Playback sounds fine from what I've heard so far.

 

Still up in the air about the interface as I haven't used it heavily yet, but it seems fine.

 

iTunes for Windows has gone to hell recently since the introduction of Ping and all of the other stupid added crap that does nothing but slow down the program, even if they're turned off. None of that on Google Music.

 

The downside: It's browser based.

Did a search of Last.fm's forums and found a user script that works with Greasemonkey (I think) that scrobbles.

Gonna try it out here in a second.

 

EDIT: It works. Currently scrobbling from Google Music Player. :thumbup:

Keep it running overnight when no one else uses your internet/computer. That's when I did the vast majority of my uploads. The more people using your internet, the slower the upload.

 

Your internet will run slower while you are uploading music. Just the nature of the beast.
