Searches are associated with you for 9 months, but apparently it's not information distributed or sold outside of Google.
Cue Lagunasol coming in saying Google loves you and abusing the rollseye emote.
He posts mostly during those first few pages, but I've seen him keep on being obnoxious all the way to page 53 before.
I think I may use both. I am disappointed that they support FLAC but not ALAC, but I can work around that. I'll download my iCloud music to my MBP and upload it all to Google from there and then delete it. It's a little bit of a hassle, but I'll have a back-up of iTunes Match and it won't cost me anything.
Uh huh.
Gotta love the naïveté of the Google fans though. Apparently they never learned there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Yeah, you could justify your tablet to be supported for at least 3 years with full os upgrade. This sucks so much, ill get an android tablet too

Look who's where! And I thought you only stay for a few pages.
Wait, this might make you happy.
Do you have a proof they are not ?
The burden of proof is on the accuser. Come on kid.

Do you Fandroids get a dollar for every MacRumors reader you convert to Android? Because you sure work hard at it.
*derp Google derp*
Signed up for iMatch day one, has barely worked all year
Signed up for iMatch on day one, but the service has barely worked all year. However, at least it works when you travel. I use a US iTunes account and can go anywhere and get matched on any device, but with Google Play I get this message: The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories. Crazy.

You know you've lost the argument when you resort to name calling. I'll spare you the embarassment of pointing out the many contradictions I've seen in your posts.
Do you have a proof they are not ?
I have very good reasons why they wouldn't. Why risk terrible, terrible public outrage giving companies specific data about single users when the companies they are giving data to could only be interested in statistics of the different groups as wholes?
Oh, they also mention this specifically in the "Information we share" section, so if I'm wrong, Google is also lying: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
advertising is always google's version of free

Been thinking of switching to PC and now this!
I used to be a huge Apple fan but now I am slowly joining the opposing teams.. Things have really gone downhill since Steve went.
It IS free for me. AdBlock
Poor Google, all they do is lose money on me. Also, ads in Gmail? Not even close. I use their IMAP service in OSX Mail.
I lol'ed.
That shows your age (young) then. WMA was awfully huge back in the day (on Windows).
As for the hate on Google and their "scans", I would venture to guess that Apple does it as well.
