[CARTERjMr910]

Hey if I download songs from my phone through a different site will it automatically go to Google music without me having to download it to my computer.

[SickTechShow]

Too bad Google Music sucks with syncing iTunes playlists...

[MrMurder96]

@SickTechShow too bad you actually use iTunes..

[xmripper]

omg joe I miss your reviews ^^

[r12500]

what motorola device is that ? is it workin on honeycomb ??

[rocklover3300]

@r12500 Motorola Droid Razr and it runs on Gingerbread

[MrMurder96]

@r12500 honeycomb? wtf? thats a droid razr running gingebread because honeycomb was only for tablets.

[joelevidotcom]

@r12500 The Xoom is running Honeycomb 3.2. The RAZR is running Gingerbread 2.3.5 (but the launcher on the RAZR looks a lot like the Honeycomb launcher).

[r12500]

@joelevidotcom yeah that's why u thought it was honeycomb :P

[ps13215033]

We're sorry. Google Music is currently only available in the United States. Racist

[602goliath]

The days of Apple are coming to an end. I can't wait until people are like "wtf is an iphone" :-D

[Ihatefemme5]

Great for the music artists! Eat that itunes!

[bigsteamfan]

I use Google for searching. I use YouTube and a YouTube downloader for my music.... Don't need anything else... Why make it complicated.... >_>...

[iRibz]

@bigsteamfan because not everyone is like you

[bigsteamfan]

@iRibz No, you like to spend fucking half an hour to browse an app, to find your shit, instead of just fucking Googling the name of the song and download it from the first bloody link...

[iRibz]

@bigsteamfan nah i use just use spotify, but unlike some people i can see two sides of things and understand why people would want this.

[RhodderzX]

@bigsteamfan why use youtube downloader to download the music and then convert it when you can just use either beemp3 or a torrent site?

[CocasBlog]

@bigsteamfan Your ears must be bleeding when hearing the audio "quality" of youtube mp3's...

[bigsteamfan]

@CocasBlog Most of the MP3's I have are in 320kbps quality, the highest I think, for an MP3.. One experienced man, said a couple of days ago, right on this topic, that the differences between an MP3 and a CD or FLAC, even if it is about 1000kbps, the actual sonic differences are incredibly minute ! So you must have a VERY, VERY fine ear to hear the extra quality, or you just have to be an elitist jerk. A 320kbps MP3 is more than enough, mp3 is the most popular format, you saying it's no good ?

[CocasBlog]

@bigsteamfan No, I'm saying YOUTUBE mp3's aren't good, not mp3's in general (mp3's do sound compressed, I just got used to it). Even if they are 320kbps they sound bad compared my own digitalized cd's. I did compare them a long while ago actually and do I hear big differences.

Maybe that's all subjective and some people may don't hear differences (or big differences), but in my case - I do.

[bigsteamfan]

@CocasBlog Well, yeah, the YT mp3s are fucking bad, but I gave the YT downloader as a bad example, since I felt bad saying, just pirate them songs in mp3.. I have very few bought CD's and all of them were listen in the car, and the mp3s in the home.. so I don't really have a good comparison base between the two.. Although I know one thing, I wouldn't want to ditch my mp3s and go with CDs, given the choice, having to change the CDs constantly and caring to them so they don't break, is just a PAIN

[Tgeak]

It would be nice if it was released in Australia than just the U.S.

[joelevidotcom]

@Tgeak Agreed. A world-wide release would be ideal.

[jayzhead]

US only, as usual. WTF google.

[ninjeex]

@jayzhead install market access

[TheBrillowable]

@jayzhead there are ways...

[toonygamer2004]

Very nice run down Joe.

[joelevidotcom]

@toonygamer2004 Thanks! Glad you found it useful!

[toonygamer2004]

@joelevidotcom

Yup. Have everything set up and currently uploading my songs.

By the way, if you really do like AFI, may I recommend their album "The Art of Drowning."

Their older, fast paced punk is excellent in that album. I apologize, I could not resist recommending that.

[detective0921]

ITUNES THE BEST ALWAYS .. HAHAHAHAH

[DarknesSxLDS]

WTF? How can 3G works while WiFi is working?!

[superE230]

So I put some songs online on my phone, but how do I put them back offline?

[TheBeginnner]

@superE230 Menu --->

[joelevidotcom]

@superE230 In the Android app you can pin songs, albums, or even playlists so they're available offline (they're downloaded to the device). Using the Web app go into the song, and you can "Save to computer" to download it.

[daRKiERAWR]

I am rooted and changed my density from 240(800x480) to 186(1032x619) and it bumped my phone up to the tablet version. Scrolling is dreadful sometimes. You should give it a look see.

[airanp73]

That junk is fugly

[bconover93]

I just got the updated market. It's 3.3.11.

[zpithika]

I thought you could get the music app for tablets too. I understand showing the browser for the new look of the market, but why not show the actual music app instead of the browser page? other than that, good video. Ive been using Google Music since the beta and even though i have an ipad and ipod touch, it really is awesome to have all my music for my android phone without having to sync. plus my comp is slow so i use Google Music instead of itunes since it loads faster. lol.

[joelevidotcom]

@zpithika At the time the video was made, the Music section of the Market (in the app) wasn't online yet. If you head over to the article on pocketnow I posted a followup video from one of our readers that shows more "in app" footage.

[bconover93]

I'm stuck with Google Music 3.0 cause 4.0 likes to force close. I had to sideload it because my phone is CM7, but was only officially updated to 2.1. So the market won't show it.

[Brushles83]

ewww they went all minimalist like windows phone. Gonna get me an iphone.

[KlingonSpider]

what happened to brand cinnamon mini man!??!?!

[Rigid11494]
