Google Music From The Inside

Last month I did a blog about the new Google Music Beta. Talking about how it worked and how they were sending out limited invitations and such. Well I was lucky enough to be invited to the Google Music Beta project a couple of days ago. I have to say I am very impressed! Though I’m not surprised it is Google were talking about after all. What Google Music lets you do it upload any/all your music to the “Google Cloud.” You access your music via browser so it can be accessed anywhere – your android powered phone, your home computer, work computer, laptop, android powered tablet – almost anything that has internet! It is pretty slick looking too; built using HTML5 and CSS3 it contains no flash. Even in Internet Explorer 8 it works perfect so it must be built with a bunch of Javascript since we know HTML5 and CSS3 cannot run in Internet Explorer 8. My mind is blown by how fast this is for an internet application that shuffles through 3,000 songs with seemingly no lag. It is a very slick layout too.

With Itunes I can only share 1 song with 5 computers, which you would think that would be enough to get by but over time you realize how many computers you went through and Itunes will not let you move that music to another computer. Google fixes that problem via The Cloud. This application is just completely amazing and I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with it in terms of both functionality and speed. If you get a chance to try it out I suggest you try it. If you have gotten into the beta what do you think?
