        Google does match your mp3 with the store copy (where possible).

          "Negging" is important for an honest and open review.

          When every deal only allows Thumbs up or everyone gets 100% Positive feedback, the voting system then becomes meaningless.

          Besides, the neg is really for the auto down-conversion to mp3. Unaware folks may not realise this, without someone pointing this out (with a neg)

          @Son ofa Zombie:

          "Negging" is important for an honest and open review.

          Sure, but negs must have valid reasons, and cannot simply be based on someone's preference. Otherwise people will be negging cheap PS4 deals because they prefer Xbox, or negging Ellie Goulding's free track because it doesn't suit their tastes, or negging Jetstar deals because they prefer Virgin.

          What is the reason for your neg? So far you've only mentioned that maybe, one day, the database might be abused, and that it's not lossless. Those are simply your preferences. The service might not suit your preferences, but that does not make it a bad deal. It doesn't even cost money.

          edit - you added the below later:

          Besides, the neg is really for the auto down-conversion to mp3.

          So you prefer lossless to MP3. Meanwhile, the rest of the world have no problem with compressed music from iTunes.

          You might want to check out the voting guidelines.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines

          Specifically this part:

          If the deal doesn't apply to you, you don't like the company, or you want to leave a warning for people about the business or deal, you can leave a comment and then not vote.

          This is a compressed music servce. You do not like compressed music. Therefore this deal does not apply to you.

        Kinda odd considering the maturity of all of these codecs. Understandable in the case of FLAC or ALAC but why transcode AAC, typically that format is smaller than 320 MP3 for the same percieved quality.

  • SteveAndBelle on 26/02/2015 - 10:58

    OMG! About bloody time!! I complained about the 20,000 track limit years ago and asked them to increase it but they said they absolutely wouldn't because they decided 20,000 tracks was plenty for the normal user. I wanted all my legit music available on my mobile and had around 22,000 tracks in my library so jumped on the $100 128Gb MicroSD cards last year and left Google to their antiquated assumptions ;)

    Hmm, might look back into it now but to be honest the SD card option is far better as it means everything's available while offline. Bring on the cheap 256Gb cards I say… but also the devices that can handle them too ;)

    • linnaen on 26/02/2015 - 11:10

        Yeah, as I said… I might do it again but I've got two NAS boxes (one offsite) so disaster recovery isn't really a problem. To be honest I think I just walked away from Google and left it as is so 20,000 tracks should still be there and it wont take long to add the extras.

        • Koolbargain on 26/02/2015 - 15:10

          The service, which launched Tuesday, cuts uploading time for those who want to save their music libraries online. It scans a user's computer and gives them online access to the songs it finds, as long as they match the songs on its servers. Otherwise, it will upload songs to a user's online locker.

          I imagine many people do. Of those who do keep backups, I'm sure a large portion only make on site backups which means they are somewhat resilient to drive failures and the like, but still vulnerable to fires and similar circumstances that could wipe everything out.

          Hell I think half the people I know haven't worked out how to keep their phones address book sync'd via an online service, let alone having computers file system backed up offsite.

          I'm quite confident Google will be around for a very long time. If they were to shut down in 2035, I would be able to download 350GB in 20 seconds.

          +2

          @bazzaa: If a cloud service shuts down you can just move to another one. I wouldn't suggest it's the only backup someone makes, in most cases it's probably most convenient to be able to restore from a local backup first, and a cloud one secondly. I'd suggest anyone retain both a local backup and a cloud based one, and it's not a particularly expensive exercise.

          Also nothing is stopping someone using multiple cloud back ups. My music's stored on both Google and iCloud for example. Neither one will interfere with the other after all, and the only real cost may be the upload time (which all things being equal should improve for most people over the next few years).

      You only have to download it once per device. Streamed songs are cached, and you can explicitly download any songs you want and keep them on the device. 99% of the time my Play Music app is in offline only mode.

      Many songs are identified via fingerprint so you don't actually upload the file. Even if you have a 200GB music collection you're not necessarily uploading even half that. If something is identified incorrectly (sometimes it incorrectly detects a censored version — although Google seems way better at this than Amazon and iTunes), you can right click on the file, click "Fix incorrect match", and force it to upload your personal copy.

      I download an album, the Play Music agent automatically finds it on my NAS, and its instantly available on all my devices, including the iPad we use for music when hosting parties, and my web browser at work.

      All I can say is, just in time!

    • Smigit on 26/02/2015 - 12:07

      A few reasons

      a) Not all devices accept an SD card
      b) Even if you do have an sd card, there's certain costs associated with that. I'm guessing 20,000+ songs is a lot of space and many people won't want to swap cards on a regular basis
      c) Not all devices take the same card format, so you could potentially have redundancy if you want to make your collection over multiple devices ehile on the go.
      d) As a remedy for both a, b and c, it opens up the option of streaming music, particularly to mobile devices but also to other computers for when you're out and about. As noted, this will typically be cached so if you listen to the same thing a lot then the data usage won't be overly excessive
      e) It adds redundancy should your cards fail, you have a fire at home or whatever. You can get the files back quite easily.

      Personally I carry a 128GB iPhone which fits my entire collection on it, but still backup to iCloud and Google's services since it gives me an easy way to restore my collection should I ever have any personal issues that prevents me accessing a local copy.

      Certainly SD cards and local storage in general has it's place…but it's by no means perfect and really, you can have a cloud backup without impacting your ability to travel with a local copy should you wish.

          With my home plan I have uncapped uploads…so $0 to get it onto a cloud service. Otherwise I can't give you a cost because everyone will be on different plans and have varying options available to them. In many cases people are already paying for a plan that'll cover this functionality anyway.

          It must suck being an apple user and missing out on the most basic of features (-;

          No, I don't miss SD card's really at all TBH. When I've had phones with support for them I never swapped between multiple cards anyway, it's just not a usage pattern I go for. Given the internal storage on my device works for me, it's somewhat irrelevant to me whether it's built in flash or an SD Card.

          You make it sound as though there aren't higher end Android or Windows Phones without expandable memory too.

          Yeah, $9 is such a huge amount for 32gb cards and you do know you can overwrite.

          May as well argue that you can override the internal storage in ANY device. That doesn't make your entire collection available to you at any time, which is a big deal for a lot of people. Sure, you could buy multiple small cards, but good luck figuring out what's stored on what if you have a reasonably sized music collection, and you're stuck carrying the cards if you want access to the files.

          I'm not saying use one method or the other, I just gave reasons why you might wish to use cloud based services instead of local storage. As already noted, I use both myself. At the very least an offsite solution is probably your best bet for a disaster recovery scenario, which justifies the services existence alone.

          Use what works for you.

          @eug: Like a typical fanboy there's absolutely nothing wrong with Google making a phone without an SD slot in Davros opinion.

        • SteveBuscemi on 02/03/2015 - 18:27

          S6 doesn't have an SD card slot either! :)

  • AtomuKirin on 26/02/2015 - 11:35

    I'm happy, even though i'm only on 13,000 songs…

      how often do you listen to all of them? i've only listen to about ~ 500 songs from years of purchasing.

      • SteveAndBelle on 26/02/2015 - 12:58

        Each to their own. I regularly listen to many of my older albums, usually driven by mood and after reading some of the comments here I think it's time for some Sepultura up really loud ;)

      • jjcf on 26/02/2015 - 13:47

        I've got around 60k unique tracks (about a third of them I also have as flac, but keep an mp3 for streaming) and my 'to listen' playlist is around 5k songs.

        Damn you, cheap bandcamp albums.

    Silly question I signed in, but where do I claim the free storage?
    Maybe it's geo-restricted

    • Shonky on 26/02/2015 - 12:18

      You don't have to do anything. It's automatic. I just went to http://music.google.com and there was a banner there saying it was now 50000 songs.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2015 - 12:22

        I went to upload a song & it says i have 20,000 left.

        I was interesting in how it says you can upload your itunes library.
        I wonder if it just ID's the song & lets you have it, rather then uploading the songs?

        • SteveBuscemi on 26/02/2015 - 12:30

          Music files are fingerprinted using some sort of magic algorithm. If it matches, its added to Google Music without uploading. If not, it uploads manually.

          Amazon MP3 and iTunes Match work the same way, although IIRC unlike Google+Amazon, iTunes doesn't let you override the match if it's wrong.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2015 - 12:39

          @SteveBuscemi:

          Yeah I was more interested how it access your iTunes library, does it actually decrypt it & look at the songs or does it just read the titles & match that way.

          either way it might be a good way to escape itunes or share itunes libraries

        • jjcf on 26/02/2015 - 13:54

          @SteveBuscemi: I've never had anything match :/ I just assumed it didn't do matching at all.

        • Wonka on 27/02/2015 - 18:14

          I got the same message - when I checked under settings though it says 50,000?

  • spuderump on 26/02/2015 - 12:12

    Does this have a iphone app?

    What if you have higher quality music (eg. in FLAC or ALAC) will it still "upload" them or does it work similarly to iTunes Match?

    • SteveBuscemi on 26/02/2015 - 13:25
      +1

      It'll upload but, alas, convert to 320K mp3.

      • abc on 26/02/2015 - 13:47
        +1

        In that case its not really "uploading" right? It should just "match" the track in their library like what iTunes Match does?

        • hetzjagd on 26/02/2015 - 14:00

          I'm not speaking from knowledge of this system but I am assuming they are uploading the full size flac and then transcoding it to mp3 to reduce storage and bandwidth on the following downloads. If it allows you to upload anything then it can't match songs it doesn't have. Just speculation on my part though, take it with a grain of salt

        • neil aus on 28/02/2015 - 18:05

          It would only upload if no match is found via a fingerprint, once uploaded it would convert if above 320k mp3 quality, hope this helps.

  • dosada on 26/02/2015 - 12:27

    With the traffic limit on local internet plans it would just take a few years to fill this up. Seriously, who really needs more than 20.000 songs online?

      who really needs more than 20.000 songs online?

      People who spent the last 15 years collecting them? :)

  • daver on 26/02/2015 - 12:47

    Will it take 3.6 GBph or 8_Mbps from a local LTE server ??

  • walrusdealer on 26/02/2015 - 13:26

    Is there any benefit of this for people who already have a Spotify Premium subscription?

    • SteveBuscemi on 26/02/2015 - 13:29

      All the songs that aren't available on Spotify? The fact that it's free?

    • Shonky on 26/02/2015 - 13:30

      One of the main advantages is you can upload your own songs and use them side by side with the subscription. They don't have every artist (on Spotify or Google Music) so you can have your weird and wonderful stuff all in one place.

      • walrusdealer on 26/02/2015 - 19:45

        Ok, I can see the benefit, I had never really understood what the point of Google Music was before. I will be honest and admit that I don't really have any local music on my computer anymore after pretty much entirely switched to streaming/ syncing.

        If there are songs that I reeeally want that Spotify doesn't have I can sync local files in Spotify to another device on the same network, although I see how if you didn't have access to it how it would benefit you. I used to have about 80GB of music, the idea of waiting for that to upload seemed crazy even just a couple of years ago

        • eug on 26/02/2015 - 23:05

          If the song that you have on your hard disk matches one in Google's database, you don't actually have to upload it. Google will add it to your account automatically via the Music Manager desktop app.

    • daver on 26/02/2015 - 13:31

      Someone above mentioned local syncing, unless Spotify would do this also.. . Exy

    • eug on 26/02/2015 - 13:38

      If you're a bit naughty and convert your Spotify playlist to MP3, you can then sync those tracks to Play Music which will then presumably replace them with fresh, first-gen copies. But that's being a bit naughty!

    • daver on 26/02/2015 - 13:53

      /-perhaps not until either of them support lossless as available elsewhere.

      I've used both in the past, and am currently on Spotify Premium. I like Spotify more as I don't have to pay for individual albums/singles whereas with Google Play Music you do.

      • jjcf on 26/02/2015 - 14:10

        Google Music has streaming like Spotify, as well as a storefront like iTunes where you buy tracks/albums. They are separate things, although I can see why people would get mixed up; it's not exactly made clear.

        (as well as letting you upload your own music)

        • Shonky on 26/02/2015 - 15:07

          You can't stream for free with Google though. Spotify does (well did when I looked) have a free account. If you don't pay with Google, you only have your own songs and ones you purchased through Google.

        • jjcf on 26/02/2015 - 15:11

          @Shonky: That's true, but they were talking about Spotify Premium. Which would be the equivalent of GMAA (although I think Google is a couple of bucks more per month?).

    • elektron on 16/03/2015 - 18:40

      The fact that you can stream Google Play Music All Access to your Home Theatre via a Chromecast, without the need to replace your very expensive new-ish receiver with one that has SpotifyConnect built in to do the same.

      Instead, I chose to replace my Spotify Premium subscription with Google's and haven't looked back. The fact that you can upload your own library (in case something is missing in theirs) is a bonus.

  • spuderump on 26/02/2015 - 16:03

    so would ppl use this or spotify?

    • Cheap Rich Guy on 27/02/2015 - 05:56

      I think you'll find opinion split there.

    Yes upload all the illegally downloaded songs you have.
