Default Google music service

Google may announce its new music service today. Rumors say it will offer streaming of 20,000 songs for free and cloud storage. Sounds nice.

But Europeans get spottify. Here is a music streaming comparison:

I'm going to look into Subsonic, Audiogalaxy, and Pulptunes.

No prob man! Although technically it's not cloud storage since you have to have your home pc on at all times when you want to stream music. So if your pc/hdd crashes you're SOL! I'm looking into Subsonic right now and it looks like a promising alternative to Audiogalaxy.

Using it now, and its pretty cool. The tag reading is fairly buggy though.

^ @saratoga. Been using Audiogalaxy at the office, streaming my tunes from home PC for a couple days now. Seems pretty bulletproof re: tags to me so far.

I am quite sure your tags are in order - so this is kinda weird!

What seems to be happening on your end?

^ yeah, but since I am in HK, I couldn't sign up. However, Marv helped me out and signed up for me from NY, though I have not heard from them as of today.

No biggie - this just reminds me of beginning days of GMail...it was soooo glamorous to have a GMail address at the start

i recieved an invite toay and its pretty nice.. a clean interface and simple to use. It;s pretty user friendly it seems. they give you some free music too when you first log in.. kinda nifty, its pretty decent stuff alteast to me. if theres much more youd like to know since this is quite vague just ask n ill check back when time allows.
