Upload All My Music?
So Google wants everyone who purchases music from Apple to upload it to their servers so you can switch to Google Music.
It doesn't sound legal. I can understand if I purchased music from Apple that they would store it but transferring Apple music to Google?
Then everyone sharing their songs with each other. Sounds like we are headed back down the Napster path.

Wow, really?
On Napster you don't pay for music, you download it and it is shared straight off of your system.
With this you BUY music from apple and upload it to Google so that you can access it from anywhere. You aren't sharing it free with other people. It is no different than burning a cd or putting it on a massive hard drive. This just gives you access to your music anywhere there is internet.
Exactly as legal than buying music at Amazon MP3 store and uploading to Apple servers via iTunes Match, no?
And what sharing?
In the Google Music video at the 1 minute mark, you see a Share option on the menu. Looks like you can listen to the shared song once for free after pausing the video. I still think the sharing of music through the social network (Google+ and FB) will eventually bring about some problems.
You can share a song with someone else on Google Music but they can only listen once. I guess I always thought that the uploading of music was for my CD's because I have only used iTunes, but yes I guess the same applies if you buy from Amazon and upload to Apple.
Ubuntu > Windows7 > Lion
WP7.5 > iOS >>> Android
I use all six of these regularly. Do you?
You mean the logo Apple themselves was found to have copied, if i remember it correctly that is...
People need to take a chill pill when it comes to visual representations of earthly metaphors such as "the cloud". Of course they are going to look similar, that is the point. In fact, the more similar the better the que.

I somewhat disagree with you on the first point. I'd say that Win 7 > SL, but that Lion is more equal. Of course, this is from a purely subjective stand point. That said, people talking smack about Windows are generally fools. If not, they are oft-times geeks beyond repair ;- )

There is software that can do the Meta-clean up for you. Assuming you have your files in order that is. And, as for you having 20k songs - most dont.
Not sure how Windows can be compared to Ubuntu and Lion considering the latter two are *NIX systems.
I meant with PC / Mac desktop or laptop users. iTunes (now with iTunes Match) is already established and dominating in that area. I'd imagine all the people who have purchased content from iTunes are loyal. And even if you have an existing gmail or Google+, Google Music is not an offline media player and music manager; iTunes is. I think a lot of people will stick with iTunes for the convenience and integration.
But I do think Google Music will be a huge success with Android users. That post I wrote doesn't really apply here. I think I was sleep-deprived. I wrote that post with the impression that Google Music was a direct competitor to iTunes, which it isn't.
Swag.
