Will Google's music service launch today?

Today there is a lot of interesting news: Microsoft buys Skype , and Google should launch its own music service today. So far, everything seems to be quiet, but after a few hours, it is quite likely that Google will demonstrate its own music service. In any case, the launch of the service is reported by the authoritative publication The Wall Street Journal. Generally speaking, the music service of the “corporation of good” has been spoken about for several months already, almost all publications related to IT are written about it. In general, this is no longer a rumor, but practically confirmed information. Google Music (this is the “popular” name of the project that still does not exist ”) will be a cloud service that will allow you to listen to music on various devices.

There are several interesting points here, including the main one: Google couldn’t reach an agreement with major rightholders, so the service from Google will be very similar in functionality to a similar service from Amazon. According to the WSJ, at first the service will start working in a test mode, when developers will catch bugs and fix bugs. If all goes well, the corporation’s musical “cloud” will begin to work at full capacity in a short time.

In general, we all remember how much time Gmail existed in beta state, working for a solid top five. So Google’s musical “cloud” is unlikely to be particularly buggy. Although anything can be, we will not guess.

The functionality of the service is quite simple: users will store their own music in the Google cloud, gaining access to their files from virtually any device that supports music playback. This is exactly what Amazon, whose music service was launched in March of this year, offers its customers.

But if Amazon or Google were able to negotiate with the copyright holders, then it would be possible to get access to a huge database of music files. In general, this is not bad, but it could have been better.

By the way, I myself have been using Yandex Music for quite some time, despite all the shortcomings of this service. The hard four can be put to him, despite the fact that some files are sometimes not played, some are not, and some become inaccessible at times with reporting any problems with the copyright holders out there.

It seems that Google Music will find its consumer, a lot of users, music - all the more, and some will work with this service only because its creator is Google.
