Report: Google Music Service Launching Soon

[citation][nom]K1LL3M[/nom]First and foremost DRM Free FLAC, anything else is irrelevant to me!Then they could value add with1. Maintain a record of music purchased on the account which would permit re-downloads with no bullshit limits (eg only 5x)2. [/citation]
Agreed on the first one. But unlimited downloads per account seem a bit overkill (if such account is made "public" then they would lose a lot of money). I think some limit like X albums/day would be sufficient for individuals and prevent account sharing.

They already got involved in health care (see link below).
Google must come with something big to compete with Apple and Amazon. Most iPod owners, hard to believe, don't know they could get music from other places besides Apple-iTunes

Google taking up everything...

I wonder if Google will make GOOGLE Branded FPS, RTS and RPG games
or even making a console to compete against other competitors

[citation][nom]turbolover22[/nom]I'm in if they were to play streaming music. All of the other sites like pandora are blocked here at work.[/citation]
Big brother will block this one too

If they go with lossless formats like FLAC or WAV, I'm there. Otherwise it's just another useless conduit for lossy garbage.

Whatever they come up with, it needs far better organization than the Android Market has. Finding what you want seems to be a matter of scrolling through an endless list and hoping the name someone used fits with what you're thinking.

It does have potential though.

If it's "Google Music" there should be no cost. Similar to one of the music services that have a subscription fee, and then unlimited downloads. Log in with your account and Google gets to tie your music preferences and listening information into its giant database of demographics. I wouldn't be suprised if it's ad supported and I bet it'll be free.

google = skynet

This may be the final push I need to start buying music digitally. I still buy physical CDs (after 'testing' them out via torrents first). None of the current distribution systems is good enough for me.
