So am I understanding right.
You can upload your own music (up to 20k songs) and google will store them, and steam them to any computer or android device, and you can redownload them to any device at any time. All of this for free? No Ads?
Just like iTunes it's hardly the way to listen to music. Music stores seized to exist and millions are isolated from each other with ears filled with cheap headphones. Compressed distribution and cheap devices stripped the public and now the second generation from quality reproduction. Effectively it's nothing more than noise. Sad.
... but it sure will be easy for them to use this data to taylor ads to you for every other browsing experience...
Ah, but it sure will be easy for them to use this data to taylor ads to you for every other browsing experience. As you must be logged in to access your music it will undoubtedly be a factor in the rest of your google experience. Yet another way for them to gather your personal psychographic data and monetize it without your knowledge, and determine the type of search results and ad you will receive. To some folks anonymity of their web browsing and unfiltered search results is worth much more than $25 a year.
There's no ads...at least not in the Android app. Whether there is on the website I don't know, as I have no need to use it.
The Google Music application reads songs off of the file system just like the majority of players. I have the Music Player, Google Music, and WinAmp installed right now. I have tinkered with Double Twist a few times.No, you don't need to be online if you use the offline mode to acces the music in an Android device

And where exactly in my post did I suggest otherwise? I said you'll have to upload the "majority" (meaning: not all) of your library with Apple and "all" (meaning: all) of your songs with Google.
You can tell the application to stream only or download. You can even limit this to Wi-Fi only. It will download the songs you have uploaded to the file system.If your offline how do you stream music ?
Dumb question since I don't use anything google or android.
....and you think that Apple doesn't?It's amazing how easily Google plays people like a fiddle.

It will playback any music on the filesystem, from Google Music or not. I have used the Google Music application without any internet connection. I just cannot get any new songs without adding them to the file system first.You can do that in offline mode ? I was thinking offline mode meant you weren't online. Meaning not connected to the Internet
Hopefully this comes out of beta quick and can get introduced outside of the united states. As a music lover and droid owner in Canada it would be great to have. Especially if it means being able to get my entire music library without having to fill up my phones storage space.
Wow, you Google fans are naive.
Yes, I'm sure the reason Google gives you Android for free and free cloud storage for your music is because they love you, not because they want to leverage you for advertising (you know, their one and only source of revenue).

Keep voting me down, Googlebots. Cover your eyes and ears too if it makes you feel better about the situation.
It is the usual hunt from the same actors. Welcome to Page 1.Can you explain me where ads are shown using Android?
And you call others googlebots, blinds when you only bash anything that is not Apple and even have an avatar that show how fanatic you are?
I suspect that people like you (Apple fanboys, Google fandroids, ms fans, etc) are paid by competition to make the brands you supposedly are fans look stupid
If your offline how do you stream music ?

God/Allah/Buddha/Flying Spaghetti Monster/Big Bang Theory/Xenu, a really long time ago:
Cool. Does anybody know if you can rip a bootleg cd and upload it to your account then stream it to another device for free ?
Well, I'd love to try this out and see how well it works. The competition and advancement the better!
As long as the audio format is compatible, playback is limited to a device with said Google Music application or a web browser that supports Flash. At least, the playback page freaks out when I try to block Flash and pops a dialog box up telling me I need to enable it.Cool. Does anybody know if you can rip a bootleg cd and upload it to your account then stream it to another device for free ?
