The look and feel somehow looks inconsistent with other google products
Could you explain a little more? The web interface is just like the Android Market. The Android phone player is a different UI though.

#32Note: music.google.cn is available in China for years now.
Can you explain very briefly what it does? The only part I can read is "Music streaming/download services are not available in your region" Is it the same product they're rolling out in the US?
Indian version: http://www.google.co.in/music
It just lets you search and listen to songs.. doesn't let you store anything...
Re: Google Music Service
#33From the screenshot, it looks even less useful than Amazon's player. You have to upload all of your own music yourself, which would take forever for anyone who has a collection big enough that they can't carry on their phone or ipod. Also, there is absolutely no conceivable benefit to musicians. At least amazon allows you to easily buy albums. There doesn't appear to be any useful additional functionality either. Soc…
I agree .. when i had my music collection saved/backed up on 3 different hard-drives which all crashed I had 5,000 songs. Overall that would take me way to long to upload and manage!
These days Pandora, YouTube and Vevo on my iPhone or other computing devices provides me with a better experience; free, instant access wherever, no worries about hard drive crashing & no need to upload/manage tons and tons of songs...

#34If you are interested in this problem but can't get into the beta yet, check out my app: http://www.audiogalaxy.com.
You have to leave your home computer running, but it is totally free, available outside of the US, and has both Android and iOS apps.

#35Why would I pay for this over a service I already pay for and love (Rdio)? Looking for some thoughts
Re: Google Music Service
#36One thing that I have been thinking about in relation to all these new streaming services coming out is that one thing that I am really keen on seeing is if the service will allow exporting of your listens, to last.fm for scrobling or just general export of listen analytics. I am hoping it is in the pipe line for Amazon & Google and whatever Apple delivers - however I am not holding my breath. I think google has the best shot of allowing the data captured out but for people like myself who really enjoying sending that info into other people's suggestion algos I hope with this new line of services I am not put in a box and forced to only use on the suggestion features of the provider (which usually only ends up being from record companies whom they have deals with). Don't fail me Google ;) !

Audiogalaxy scrobbles to Last.fm, FWIW
Re: Google Music Service
#38I'm getting the 'only available in the United States error' could someone let us know how much this service will cost?
Re: Google Music Service
#39Is the service called "Music Beta"? Or is it just that the Music service is currently in a beta release?
The logo is pretty confusing with equal size given to both 'music' and 'beta'. While I'm excited to try the service, I find the logo a bit awkward and underwhelming.

Do you have an API for your service?
