Google's Cloud Is Alive With the Sound of Free Music...!
Google is luring music lovers into its cloud with an offer of free storage for up to 20,000 tracks..
Google announced Tuesday that it is extending its Scan and Match feature for its online locker service to the U.S.
Users with Google Play accounts will get a message asking if they would like Google to scan their hard drives for music.
If it finds a match in its own library, Google will add the song to the user's online music collection. The user will then be able to download it or stream it to any Android device.
Best of all, from a user perspective, the service is free. Amazon and Apple offer similar services for a fee.Users can add up to 20,000 songs, which will then be available for streaming at up to 320 kbps.
Google did not respond to our request for further details.
