A better way to play your music.
Upload your personal music collection to listen anywhere,
keep everything in sync, and forget the hassle of cables and files.
Listen anywhere, even offline.
You can get to your personal music collection at home or on the go. Listen from the web or any enabled device with the Music app available from Android Market. Not online? No problem. The songs you’ve recently played will automatically be available offline. You can also select the specific albums, artists and playlists you want to have available when you’re not connected.
Stay in sync, without the hassle.
Spend more time listening to your music and less time managing it. Once your music is online, it’s always available. Playlists are automatically kept in sync, and you don’t have to worry about cables, file transfers, or running out of storage space.
Your collection, now in one place.
Upload your personal music collection to a single library, even if it’s scattered across multiple computers. You can upload music files from any folder or add your iTunes® library and all of your playlists. And when you add new music to your computer, it can be automatically added to your music collection online.
Mix it up.
Create your own custom playlists with just a few clicks. Or use Instant Mix to automatically build new playlists of songs from your collection that go great together. All the playlists you create and all the changes you make to them are automatically available everywhere your music is.
Update: You can request an invite:
We don’t have details on when the invitations will start going out, but you can request one.
Some of the features we are seeing so far:
1. locker type service, you have to upload your music to the servers, cloud
2. You can play form any computer or tablet, not sure about which phones or if you will need an app.
3. Google Music Beta could give Pandora a run for the money.
4. So if you download a 100 songs that are copies and then upload you can play them. They don’t have to be uploaded from a physical CD?
5. What about songs purchased on iTunes or Amazon? Can you buy and upload?
6. Can you share your collection of music
7. Can you play from multiple locations?
Music Beta lets you upload your personal music collection to listen anywhere, keep everything in sync, and forget the hassle of cables and files.

Google Music will launch its digital music service today – Tuesday apparently in spite of not having secured licensing deals.
Reports from Billboard that the “service will allow users to upload their music library to a personal online storage locker, from where they can stream and…”
More details to follow. Not having the labels/distribution/publishers on board could be a challenge, but perhaps it makes sense to create the locker service and then migrate to a digital purchase system. How will this complete against Apple iTunes and Amazon?
We will do a comparison of the top services. Now we have Apple, Amazon, and Google as the top players in the digital music space.
Could Google buy a music company like EMI? After Warner Music was purchased last week for over 3 billion, I would say that is a very good possibility and could make sense or does Google pickup some smaller labels, independents?
