<p>The current trend in playing music is towards the cloud, and Google Music is a fine example of this trend.<br />
The service started out on November 16. 2011, and it allows anyone to sign up and then upload a large volume of music that you can then listen to on any compatible device,<br />
no matter where you are as long as you have an Internet connection.<br />
This means you have way more versatility and capacity for music through the Google Cloud then if you were just trying to store everything directly on the device.<br />
Some of the other features of the service include the following.</p>
<h2>20 Million Songs on All Access</h2>
<p>One brand new feature for Google Music which has been out for a year or two now, is the “All Access” service.<br />
This is an extra service that allows you to pay per month to get access to 20 million songs.<br />
You can listen to these songs however you like, or even download them so you can play them when you aren&#8217;t online for an additional fee.<br />
The songs you download will be totally DRM free, it will be all yours and you won&#8217;t have any restrictions on how you can use it unlike many other services.</p>
<h2>Get Free Music and Storage</h2>
<p>Google Music has a “Song of the Day” feature that lets you download a free song every single day.<br />
But even beyond that, Google Music lets you store up to 20,000 songs for free.<br />
There&#8217;s no total limit to the size of these files, only that here aren&#8217;t more than 20,000 of them. The encoding here is at 320Kbps.<br />
It can take a little while to get all the music on the servers if you have a lot, but this brings us to another feature of Google Music.<br />
You can set certain folders on your computer to automatically upload music to Google.<br />
So, whenever you download music into your music folder, it will upload it to the cloud so you&#8217;ll have it for streaming just a few minutes afterward.</p>
<h2>Personalize Your Music with Listen Now</h2>
<p>Music promoters have been talking about a new feature for Google Music called Listen Now, which is like a smart robot for your music collection.<br />
It will watch when you play music, and then suggest songs in your playlist based on the genres and bands you&#8217;re listening to.<br />
While it&#8217;s true that other services also do this,<br />
what&#8217;s unique about the Google Music version is that you can see what songs are coming up on your auto-generated playlist and tweak them.<br />
And every time you delete a repeated son or one that you don&#8217;t actually like, Google Music will learn about your preferences.<br />
Overall, services like Google Music make it easy for anyone to get free cloud streaming of music anywhere they are.<br />
The world is becoming more mobile all the time, and the savvy music listener will take advantage of the portability in lockstep with technological progress.<br />
