Google Music ➹

I find this kind of piece fascinating, given that after last.fm decided to pull the plug on their prospective European customers, I’ve pretty much given up on wasting battery life and bandwidth to listen to streaming music. I do, however, use MusicBox a lot these days (full disclosure: it’s a SAPO managed service with which I’ve had a passing involvment and that I also get as part of my IPTV subscription, but I like the iOS player with offline caching, the way it lets me download 10 DRM-free tracks a month, and the “AirPlay”com/apple/airplay support that lets me listen to stuff on my stereo). I have had it for nearly a year and the pricing/use model is pretty sensible, so I mostly wonder what all the fuss is about when people talk about music lockers and online distribution these days.
