I haven't started using iCloud or Match yet.. but I'd like to have all my music in the cloud. It would be nice to be able to stream it to my PC at work, which doesn't have iTunes on it, and I'm not allowed to install it because of our militant PC IT guy.. I'm betting it's a no, but I thought I'd ask anyway.. Is there any way to connect and stream my music through a browser, like the way Google Music works?
Or am I stuck needing an apple device or itunes to get my music?
Yes, that would be GREAT!
However, that isn't happening any time soon.
So do what I did. Use both iTunes Match and Google Music.
First get your iTunes Match files in good shape. Then install Google Music and upload everything.
The only downside is the initial upload time. I have 1 Mbps up with 3600 songs. It took over three days to upload it all.
Now I have 3773 songs and didn't even notice the Google Music software uploading my new songs in the background.
Now I can listen to all my songs on any computer with Internet access.
BTW
I don't have any DRM songs. I upgraded them to iTunes Plus and repurchased about 20 DRM songs not eligible to upgrade to iTunes Plus.
Bottom line, use the best of both worlds.
Play all your DRM free songs from a web browser with Google Music!
