It seems Google Music has hit a sour note. Pcmag.com was brutal with its review, and the worst thing is I think they were trying to be kind in places. It seems that the controls are weak, the privacy issues are enormous, and the "legally obtained" music doesn't play smoothly or without proprietary measures. I have yet to use the service, but according to the blasting review, Amazon's service has it beat all the way.
This could be a blessing in disguise for Google. If they fail, the chances they will be subpoenaed for digital copyright lawsuits would be nil, and they can continue to dominate in other areas. Storage for digital music will always be tricky, and the shortsighted record companies may have killed their golden goose before it ever had a chance to grow.
