I've been trying out a different music service every few months, here's something interesting I found. Number of songs: - Xbox Music 30 million. - Apple iTunes 26 million. - Amazon MP3 25 million. - Spotify 20 million. - Rdio 20 million. - Google Music 18 million. I've most recently been using Google Music since I can upload songs albums which aren't available in their library (e.g. Beatles). However, Xbox Music is p…
I;ve been using Google Music on my android device and it is by far the best music app I've used (vs. Pandora, spotify, last.fm, etc). The killer feature for me is that it learns what I like and the radio stations it generates are pretty awesome. This may be helped by the fact that I uploaded my entire mp3 library as well.
- if you're close to no free storage space (close == ~20MB free), streaming won't work... this is bizarre in many ways, considering the app still has some other tracks cached locally and they're playable but not pinned
- it does not work well with other music apps. if you have google music playback stopped and switch to some other app (say, start playing some podcast) google music will force-stop the playback around every 10 seconds
- and the issue pretty much every app has... if you're stuck buffering, you cannot pause/stop the playback. the pause button is unresponsive until the streaming starts again :(
but otherwise... it's probably better than most other services. The linux version of the uploader could be improved a lot.

A good start. No iPad version or landscape. Still infinitely better than the stock music app
I’ll stay on Rdio.
I won't be switching from Rdio until the web app has a way to pin music to devices. I think Google Music is definitely a more featureful product and would use its ability to upload my own music in some cases. But I can't be bothered to go through all my favorite albums on a little mobile screen and pin them.
What's shocking is that this is news. Apple sucks.

There are albums that I'd buy on itunes if there was an android version. But there isn't. Makes me quite annoyed at artists who go itunes-exclusive.

> No iPad version I really wonder why Google does this. It took them months to release the iPad version of their Maps app, with very few UI differences. There's something broken about that workflow. Not quite as bad as the oft-promised Google Drive for Linux, but still.

Does the iPhone version allow for storage of All Access music offline?
