Google Music

Probably the most interesting thing coming out of Google I/O last week was…The Google Music Project. It’s officially in BETA and soon to release (my sources say most likely due to legal clearances with labels), however, invites are being sent out to a percentage of users for testing the new service. Having had the chance to do so myself, it has been an amazing experience without having to “wire” your device to your computer in order to enjoy the music you love. It works on tablets running Honeycomb, latest smart-phones running the latest android build, as well as a web version to allow you to access your music anywhere in the world on any device.

The UI on the devices is really straight forward for the most part, and even syncs with android widgets to allow you to access it as quickly as possible. The site UI is interesting and simple, yet it’ll be great to see how they scale for users who have a large music library. I believe the most important thing to come is how Google plans to make this service part of the SOCIAL scene, as in a competitor to Spotify and/or iTunes (when that goes to the cloud hopefully this year).
