Google Music Store launches - free music for all! (US)

Quote:
“The Google Music service will continue to be free,” Jamie Rosenberg, Google’s head of digital content for Android, said. “Other cloud music services think you have to pay to stream music you own - we don’t.”




- Upload 20,000 songs into cloud storage

- Play them on any computer or an android smartphone

- No charge for using the service

- Google Plus integrated

- Eight million tracks available to purchase from Universal, EMI and Sony 99 cents - $1.29

- Five million+ tracks from independent labels

- Artist pages to allow anyone to set up and distribute their music - Google take 30% cut

- Google will give a free track every day, starting with David Bowie's Sound and Vision

- Mobile users to be able to charge tracks directly to their bills

- Other freebies available for subscribers include recordings of six live Rolling Stones gigs (Brussels Affair) and then one a month), as well as free content from Pearl Jam, Coldplay, the Dave Matthews band and Tiësto.

So.. is this finally the iTunes killer the world has been waiting for? Excluding the number of tracks, it sounds better than it in just about every way. Expect content to increase as the service develops.

Yeah, there is a selection of about 50 songs that are free. I think I dl'd only about 8 of them. Waiting to see if/when they put up new free shit.

So far i'm unimpressed. I tried uploading my whole itunes library of music (about 8k songs), and an error stopped most of them from uploading.
