Google has just announced and launched its new online cloud based music stream service called Music Beta. This new Zune Pass rival for Android powered devices and PCs has quite a few features that I wouldn’t mind having on windows Phone or other platforms (iOS). The most important one being the ability to upload all of your music library to the cloud and access it from any connected PC / Mac or Android handsets (maximum 20,000 songs). I’m really surprised that Microsoft still hasn’t done something similar with Zune and Skydrive yet.
Once your music is in the cloud you will be able to stream it on the go if you are connected to a network (cellular data or WiFi) or listen to the last songs you have previously listened to in offline mode (the player will automatically cache and recently played songs on the device).
Check out the video presentation of the Music Beta by Google service below:
Last but not least: You can request an invite to participate in the beta program right BUT this is currently only available to US residents…
