Google Music Review - After much wait and delay Google has finally launched its much awaited Google music service which is much more than just a major music online store. Google is entering in direct competition with apple with their latest endeavour Google music may seem like a straight forward idea on paper. But Google music is a much like Google Plus was before it went into a live release namely Google music suffers from compatibility issues and they run deep. As everyone who has ever used an apple branded iOS device can tell you that iTunes is an essential part of owning any apple device. Well Google is trying the same idea here with Google music but unfortunately Google is not apple and thus lacks the conformity that apple have restricted their users too.

Google Music Review

As Google unlike apple has let all companies to license the Google android OS platform once they were delivering a product up to Google’s level of satisfaction and here is where the problem originates from. With so many companies using Google’s highly popular platform the market has saturated the android OS with each company tweaking the android OS for each of their devices. Making the android OS greatly differ from one android device to the other. For example an android device from Sony Ericsson and an android device from HTC feel completely different. Which is why Google has not been able to make its new Google Music service available on all of the android devices. This is why Google music fails as a whole as it is not able to provide enough compatibility to its android OS devices. Overall making the Google Music experience hit and miss for most android OS devices. As Google music might work perfectly with one Android OS device and work as intended. And for others it basically tells you to go online through your browser and use the Google Music service. This is very true for iOS device users as they don’t even have an app for the Google music service making Google Music not really an option for any iOS device user who was hoping to switching to the Google Music wagon. This is not something that you would expect from a company like Google along with this another major flaw in Google Music is the limitations of the service. For instance you cannot download songs to another computer unless you bought the music on Google music. This would have been alright if not Amazon cloud player and iTunes match were doing the same thing but they’re NOT and not only that but its kills the point of a “CLOUD” player.

All in all Google music needs time to fix all of the bugs that currently plague the service. So far now stick with iTunes or Amazon Cloud at the very least for the next year by which time Google will have (hopefully) fixed all of its bugs and lack of support issues. As the idea and software behind Google music has great potential it’s just that it’s been greatly overshadowed by the extreme issues with the service.
