As always, Google Music users can store up to 20,000 songs, but now Google will match those tunes with 320 Mbps versions, shortening upload time and cranking up the quality. For free.

Really 320 Mbps quality?

WOW!!!!

Google's music is bad. I don't want my music in the "cloud", I want to download it to my device.

So we are finally back to where Lala was in 2007 before Apple bought and shut it down.

I'm surprised they weren't doing this all along. Who wants to store 200,000 versions of "Some Nights" instead of 1 (or even 5 or 10). Even if the client was md5ing all the music and only keeping unique ones...it'd allow at least everybody who downloads from any given service or anything distributed digitally to be consolidated big time.

um...you can. i think 5 separate downloads (although it is drm-free, so you could download once and share amongst your devices if you felt like it).

most inconvenient thing i saw was the one file (download) at a time limitation without installing the client. probably a browser issue, though, more than a service problem.

This is sad Toms. Please teach your editors about the bits and bytes.

It's in the title.
And Google, this is stupid release it to us in Australia.. You have the licenses but you still haven't..

I wish they had this back when I uploaded my library. Slow connection... took weeks to get them uploaded.

Now, if Google would increase the ceiling from 20k I'll be very happy. 100k would be nice.

They will get sued by Apple soon.

How long until the RIAA get a court to allow them to check YOUR list of sound files for legit versions vs torrent versions?
