Google Music Beta: Google Cloud Music Service Beta in America First

In today's Google I/O, Google has released many many interesting and new ideas, developments, and services. One of the services is Google Music Beta. As it says on its words, it's a music service. But what differentiate itself from others is cloud service. You can upload your music to the cloud and access it anywhere.

The idea is you don't need to plug in your Android device into your computer and try to sync your music files with the Android device. It's a pain because it's a lot of procedures involved. Using the power of cloud service, you don't need to sync your music files, those music files can be streamed and accessed right away using internet. But what happens if you don't have internet connections? The Android will cache the music files you've listened so they can be accessed in your phone as well.

There's a desktop app you can access to upload your music. As these musics files are in the cloud, you can access them through internet with your phone, and tablet. Unfortunately I can't test it since Google Music is only available in America. But you could still visit Google Music Beta's website.

Right now, Google Music Beta is, you know what, still in beta. And while it's still in beta, you can upload 20,000 songs to the cloud that associates with your Google account with no cost, which means it's free.

You can also download the Music app from the Android Market.
