I use "Google Music". You need to login to google music and download the music manager. Install it on the machine where you have your iTunes library and follow the setup instructions. It will ask you if you want to connect it to iTunes somwhere along the install process. After installation is complete, it will begin to "sync" (upload) your itunes music to the "Google music cloud". You can store up to 20,000 songs for free. There are some limitations and the upload process takes a while (took my library 2 days to upload) but its worth it. Be sure and go through the settings in google music on the GNex so you can save some of your music on your device when there is no data connection available. I just created a playlist and downloaded that to my GNex for "Offline Listening". I have an old unlimited data plan so I dont have to worry about going over. Google Music can eat through your data pretty quick.

scratch what I said.. ^ this is the best way to do it! was only thinking about wanting to sync music onto the phone memory only at the time I replied but this is the best option available.

Google Music sounds like their version of Apple's iCloud iTunes Synch (or whatever they call it). The Apple deal costs $25/year and they don't upload all the songs, just the tags. Then you can download whatever music you want offline on your iPhone song by song.

• Workaround 2: Settings > Manage apps > Google Search > Disable. Download Google Search from the market and use it instead.

Hello,

I disabled google search - it took away the google search but you can't use that space. Now I can't enable it - - no longer listed under apps.

Found it - disabled apps go to the bottom of the list

Google beat them to the punch on this one.
