- | As many of you may already know, Google Music was recently rolled out to countries outside of the USA. As such, I finally had access to it in Germany, and promptly began uploading my music collection to the cloud. Due to the fact that I am not necessarily always on one of my own personal computers, and own multiple Android devices, having access to my music from anywhere was rather appealing. Nothing is worse for me than being stuck doing IT work at someone else's computer without music to listen to, especially if I can expect to be there for a long period of time. I've now been using Google Music for about 2 months, which means it’s high time for an article! | + | ===== Intro ===== |

The Google Play store now also offers music downloads, with a similar pricing scheme to the iTunes store or Amazon. In Germany, it seems that the selection isn't quite as complete as it could be, especially for more obscure artists. However, some MP3s are available for free, although there is no easy way to filter these out. Therefore, increasing the size of your music collection should be fairly easy! | The Google Play store now also offers music downloads, with a similar pricing scheme to the iTunes store or Amazon.

Playing back music directly from your cloud storage is possible only through a web browser on non-mobile devices (laptops, PCs, etc). If you have a mobile device that runs Android, accessing and playing the music directly from the cloud is possible with the Google Music app. This does not appear to be the case with any non-Android operating systems. There is also no support for media keys, or playback information in Conky. There is, however, an extension for Chrome called Music Plus (developed by the editor-in-chief of Lifehacker), | Playing back music directly from your cloud storage is possible only through a web browser on non-mobile devices (laptops, PCs, etc).

This is a very useful free service to use if you listen to your music often on mobile devices (such as a phone or tablet), where you may not want to have local copies of every song taking up space. It's also a wonderful solution for anyone who has issues syncing music with an Android device, as it effectively avoids the issue of compatibility. If you own a laptop with limited space, you may also very much appreciate this system, although there are a few restrictions when using Google Music purely in the cloud. Lastly, if you have massive amounts of music, or a slow internet connection, this is probably not for you. It could definitely fulfill the role of a cloud backup for music purchases, or for backing up certain favorite songs, as you have a lot of control over what files are ultimately uploaded. | This is a very useful free service to use if you listen to your music often on mobile devices (such as a phone or tablet), where you may not want to have local copies of every song taking up space.
