Got My GOOGLE MUSIC Beta invite ...

[anon(43138)]

Hey Gang,

I got my Google Music Beta invite yesterday and am using it on my Droid X. I was curious if anyone else had and what their thoughts were so far. I am still testing it compared to Amazon ... so I'll keep you posted.

I've had it since last week. I've been uploading music literally nonstop since Friday night -- it is taking forever as I have several thousand songs that I'm uploading. The app interface is much nicer than Amazon's.

Its the **** and I would already have amazon filled with my 12gb worth of 2,877 songs and counting 17,123 songs to go

I completely agree. In landscape, Amazon is basically useless. However...I like that Amazon moves between "Cloud" and "On Device".

Got mine last week. Took about 20 hours to upload 4,700 songs; about 38GB on FIOS. Loving my commute even more now. And loving hearing MY music at work. Pandora and Last.fm are now gone.

Still waiting for mine.

I got mine on Monday. It will probably be finished uploading all my songs tomorrow. I absolutely love it so far.

Does anyone want to buy an old 30GB iPod?

I know that Amazon sucks. Over 3G its pretty much useless for me. I can't wait to get my music invite from Google.

Is anyone else experiencing a bug with Google Music where when playing a CD from the first track, after completing the first song, it will replay that same track and then just sit silent rather than moving onto track 2?

If I manually press "skip" to go to track 2, it will work fine from then on, it just happens on the first track I select.

Edit: Here...this guy explains it better than I did.

Got mine yesterday. I let it upload overnight since I was only getting about 100 songs/hour. I like the look and have not had any issues so far except I do not see a way to correct album covers?

whats wrong with the album covers?

They are incorrect for some of the songs. In PowerAmp you can correct them by long press and then change album covers. I do not see a way to do that on Google Music.

*****Have not had enough time to play with it, but I am sure there is a way.

I like it so far (just got invite mid week).....wish we could sort phone library vs google music though.

you can....hit menu button from library screen and select library options...you can choose all music or "offline" music only.

FYI, there is an update for the Music Beta app in the Market to 3.0.1 which fixes the bug some were experiencing with the 1st track replaying & then hanging.

Still no lockscreen controls though....

Wish there was an "online" music only option.
