Google: enters the music cloud

Google will compete with Amazon Apple tomorrow will launch a service that allows devices to play music files through the web server end

Google will launch tomorrow a cloud-based music service. As with Amazon to offer a service that began two months ago, Google will offer the possibility to copy music files to a web server to allow access to these files playback end stations such as computers, cell phones and Tablet PCs. The service also will create playlists by selecting the listener can listen to some songs off the state - for wine, when there is no Internet connection is available. Google has designed a more advanced version of the service, working in cooperation with the major record companies, but failed to reach an agreement with us and decided to launch a more modest service at this time. As a result, Google can not sell songs in the service - unlike Amazon. "Unfortunately, some labels less focused on our innovative vision and business conditions," said Jamie Rosenberg, Department of the digital content Google's Android platform All Things Digital site. He noted that Google hopes to continue discussions with the companies to reach common ground at last. Google and Amazon also claim that they did not need a license to record companies to allow Lmshtamshihen store music files, because the action seems to copy a user's existing files for backup needs. "This is actually served in the personal storage, as you move songs iPad or a backup hard drive," says Rosenberg. Google's service will be launched tomorrow invitation-only beta, and will become available to all residents of the United States within weeks. He will offer storage capacity to 20,000 songs, as opposed to area 5 gigabytes of Amazon, which can accommodate only about 2,000 music files (plus another 20 gigabyte additional charge). It is unknown what will Google's pricing system, and Rosenberg says that the company will reach conclusions after the beta stage, in any case - free part of the service is expected to be very generous. Apple is also currently working on a similar service. It acquired the Lala music service emerging cloud that is actually able to reach agreements with record labels. Apple has signed licensing agreements with two of the four major labels. Apple's service may be launched next month.
