Been an avid user of the cloud for about 2 months, love it. Curious what others have experienced.

I bought 100GB from Amazon and filled it with music (before the Gmusic beta) I use it all the time. In a year when thats up I may use Google instead. My biggest complaint with ACD is the lack of an iOS app, second is when i create a playlist in Android it doesnt carry over to the cloud.

Has anyone heard anything about google revamping the market? We should be able to download full movies and mp3's legally the same way itunes does. That is really the only thing apple can hold over our heads right now.

I also got my invite today. Ran through the "get started" on my computer but haven't messed with it on my epic yet.
Argh, waiting very anxiously for an invite! I need a way to stream my music library, but I don't really like how you have to upload every new song manually for Amazon MP3 Cloud Service.. Plus I've been having issues where Amazon uploads the same song multiple times for some reason. Hopefully Google will ease my pains! lol

You can use audiogalaxy to stream your music library. You do not need to upload anything. You install a audiogalaxy program on your PC, point the program to your music library, open up the audiogalaxy app on your Epic 4g and you can stream immediately over 3G, 4G, Wifi, or your desktop. Plus it scrobbles to Last FM. No uploading at all. The app is 100% free. I use it all the time.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.audiogalaxy&feature=search_result
Also there is no limit on how much you can stream. you have 40,000 songs, you can stream all 40,000
The only downside to this is that in order to stream, you must leave your computer with audiogalaxy background app on. Your computer is the cloud essentially. unlike Amazon and google's services where you are uploading it to their cloud locker.
To bad the Music streaming doesn't work on the Epic
At least not on EE03
Google Music app just got an update to 3.0.1.

I got invites on my 2 accounts today
tried using it... stopped getting sound on the first play and it gives me a google maps FC error. very beta
I personally use Amazon Cloud Player. It's been working well for me.
Looks like it's working on the stock epic.
I have all music that was on my home laptop listed and playing on my phone.
I haven't used all features yet but basic ones are OK.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you use the app Audiogalaxy. It's a wonderful app for streaming your whole music collection from your computer to your phone. It works phenomenally (for the most part) and you are able to access as much of your music as you want without clogging up your sd card.
However, it appears that Audiogalaxy's server is down at this time. If anybody else out there uses this app, are you having issues too?
Also, they recently updated the app and I don't like the interface quite as much. They added some social networking features that are cool for some, but not my cup of tea. I was wondering if somebody still has the older (about 2 months ago) apk before the update.
EDIT: their servers are back online and all is good again. If you haven't given this app a try, it is well worth it. All 140 gigs of my music is now streamable from wherever I have a data connection. It does great on 3g.
Thanks all!
Cool bro ill check it out

I'm still waiting for my google music invite I'll check out subsonic too, thanks for the suggestion.
I was scared when all of the sudden audiogalaxy quit working on me. I got into work this morning wanting to play some music and I was left very disappointed. All is well again after lunch though
I just received my Google music beta invite so ill be checking that out when I get home. Do you have problems with your playlists not playing very randomly when set to random?

He wants to know why all this "free" music is clogging up his own picked collection of songs. It's annoying and not asked for and it'd be great to be able to turn it off and remove them.

Google = ad company = "free" stuff you don't necessarily want. Although spare a thought for those out side the US, where Google music is not available to be annoyed by, other than by the fact of its absence.

Um...some of those songs are good. =.3
But those are the free music. Google usually ask me if I want to add more free songs. In Music.Google.Com (because I still can type it lyk that) you have the option to delete the songs. It may seems lyk an impractical method to do delete them one at a time, but it's the only thing I can think of.
I just make playlist, so they really don't bother me. LoL!!

You can delete the songs from Google Play Music from your desktop.
Btw, it supports Ctrl and Shift-clicking, so you can kill off all the free songs at once

Google music is very easy to set up (in the UK). Once setup you can use it as in the US on all your devices (up to 10)
Yeah, and so long as this free crap doesn't contribute to our 20k limit, it's just digital clutter.
Making a playlist in the Google Music app is a breeze, just make a playlist. I just we had the option for making smart playlists in here like in iTunes (my smart playlists can't get uploaded either, and they're what I use most in iTunes).

So after yesterday's announcement I canceled Spotify and subscribe to all play but I'm noticing that Google play music is using up a lot of data. I streamed only about 6 songs and it used up 160 mb. I don't have it set to high quality and I even in checked cache music during play back. Spotify didn't use up 1/10 as much data. Any idea why is using up so much data.

Wow even more. It added 20mb for the one 3:45 minute song I just listened to. Looks like I need to cancel and go back to Spotify
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
It could be caching the next few songs in your playlist before you get to them.
Is it even worth cancelling my rhapsody account for this?

I don't know I canceled all play and went back to Spotify. I don't think it's caching the sins because I unchecked the cache during playback plus I ran the app for a while when I was connected to wifi incase it was caching my playlist. It's just way too much data for 6 or 7 songs.

After a few more days I can say wow, Google Music All Access is using a ton of data. I've used it a few days during my commute and the amount of data this app pulls is astounding.
Google Music definitely is a data hog but in my opinion, its far better than any other streaming service.

Yeah I canceled and went ban to Spotify. They have just as much music and use a fraction of the data.

If you're on limited data like me, I would take advantage of your phone and get a 64GB SD card. It's a good thing you have a phone with SD storage.
I am already at 40GB, using Google Music All Access since it came out, using it during work and on my drive time. That is about a week of listening. It went up 2 GB just listening this morning.
