Google Music Beta Soon To Meet Google Music Store
07 Nov 2011 by Brian Nelson
I’ve been using Google Music (beta) for several months now, and if you haven’t already, request an invitation for yourself. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the simple interface, the surprisingly full set of features, and the nearly unlimited cloud space…but reports of the upcoming Google Music Store make this service all the sweeter.

GIVEAWAY: Win a 3 month subscription of Slacker Premium Radio
01 Sep 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 4 Comments
Only a few years ago, I couldn’t see an end to the music piracy/RIAA debacle. It would go something like this: A new music sharing application would emerge, it would be promptly used for illegal activities, and then the RIAA would roll in and hand out lawsuits which usually ended in the service being shut down (or being shut down then having their pants sued off). Now I sit here in the glo...

22 Sep 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 8 Comments
