Google announces Cloud-based music service

Google has finally launched its music service, which was on the list of its upcoming services for so long. However, it will require deals with the recording industry to achieve its maximum potential.

This service is known as "Music Beta by Google," which allow users to store their tunes remotely and access them any time, using any compatible gadget, which includes tablets, handset and PCs. This new service does not provide with music downloads or song sales. Also, this Google's invention does not allow users to listen to music they have not uploaded.

It will be obtainable by invitation only which has already started from yesterday, for free of cost to test it. The company announced this music service, at its yearly conference for software developers in San Francisco. Whereas, it has not yet decided the prices for this service.

Google has announced its music service just after few weeks, when Amazon.com unveiled a similar kind of service. The online retailer's service allows you to play songs you have uploaded to the cloud on your PC or smartphone, which works over Google's Android.

Getting deals signed with some major record labels could be a difficult thing and this may be the only hurdle in the way of this service. Also, Google hasn't said anything about any agreement, while announcing this Cloud-based music service.

The company stated that this music service will allow users to upload up to 20,000 songs to "the cloud". It will also provide tech speak for storing data on remote servers and then accessing them through an Internet connection. Playlists can be created manually, or based on a particular song, by the users.

We hope this service will perform amazingly well and definitely will prove as a gift from Google to the music lovers around the world.
