Well now, we have several music in the cloud facilities: iTunes, iCloud, Amazon, and now Google. Oh, and also Dropbox and other web storage facilities.
Its early days yet, but I wonder how folks are going to deal with choice. Use more than one for greater storage? Use the one they've already used a bit? Be feature driven? Cost? IIRC one (or more) of them have a nifty stunt where they recognize the album on your computer, and "upload instantly" .. i.e. give you access to the one already there! Nifty use of replication. Anyone of us using these yet .. especially on mobile devices? What do you think of them? -- Owen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 8:16 PM Subject: Google Music - Product Update To: [email protected] [image: Google Music] <http://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/MdWCbc8VOrahdr> Dear Music Beta user, We're excited to announce that Music Beta by Google is officially graduating from beta today!
