hey guys so today me with a comparison between music beta by google and amazon cloud player now these are two of the newest and best ways to store your music online since you listen to it on your computer or a wide variety of mobile devices so what I like to do for you guys today is give you some of the pros and cons of each kind of tell you why you might want to use one over the other and all I can get stuff so the first one I'm going to take a look at is music beta by Google which I am just going to be calling google music because that is way easier to remember so Google music works very similarly to cloud player and again if you're not familiar with how it works it's very simple download a program to your computer it picks out you know your songs from your iTunes or your Windows Media Player or wherever you keep your songs it allows you to upload it to the cloud and then listen to it from a wide variety of devices now there are a couple of key differences though I want to go ahead and show you guys this one of the number one ones that are between them is the fact that Google Music beta google music whatever I know I'm going to scream about name a bunch but google music allows you to upload up to 20,000 songs now that's really quite impressive amazon cloud player on the other hand ism is max of 20 gigabytes as far as the free if you buy an mp3 album it's only five gigabytes if you don't buy anything and you just get the totally standard free version so I definitely have to give the edge to google music here but of course that's not everything now another really cool thing i like about google music is the fact that the interface is really quite nice so you have quite a few things you can go through your songs artists albums so so we want to take a look at some blue öyster cult click on it we can take a look at our songs you know it's very simple if you want to play double click if you can see you're on the bottom here we have our previous song next song can scrub around through the song we can thumbs up it so if you'd like to do it through your ratings you can do thumbs up and down and take a look at your automatic playlist which have the thumbs up and down songs on you can also you know shovel songs repeat volume all the kinds of standard stuff now one thing I really like about Google Music however is the fact that it comes with a lot of free songs so while amazon cloud player is just strictly for you know uploading your own stuff google does give you a fairly decent selection of free music when you first download it so the first thing you'll see is when you it when you first get google music is that it's going to pull up a little prompt saying what kind of music do you like do you like you maybe techno rock or metal or whatever there's quite a few different genres and varieties and you pick whatever you want you can pick them all and then we'll actually you have automatically downloaded quite a few free songs so I'm as you guys can see here this is just a small selection see there's some blue öyster cult system of a down Incubus five for fighting Elvis Presley Santana I mean there's a lot here and it's really pretty cool because this is all just totally free now we'll say that most of this right here is live music so it's not going to be quite the exact same song as you would expect you know the standard studio versions or whatever but still it's free and of course it is the legit music it's not like you know covers or anything like that so it's definitely really nice now let's take a look at amazon cloud player now before we begin I do want to say one thing I've actually been using amazon cloud player almost exclusively for my music for the past month or so so I've been using you know itunes or anything like that just to kind of test to see how it works on the cloud I'm guess they've really quite impressed I use multiple computers on a daily basis and it's really nice to have all my data and all my music online on the clouds so that's less to do with amazon just is the general kind of thing if you guys are kind of on the fence about switching to either of these services you really ought to give them a shot but getting away from that let's talk a little bit about what are specific to amazon cloud player so as you can see the interface is fairly similar that's a little bit more basic a little bit more plain but you know to be honest it's not that huge of a deal so along the bottom you'll find your playlist so if you're listening to a song porch you can hit play and do your volume all that kind of good stuff now of course you have your songs menu here so you can scroll through all your songs I'm you take a look at the artists use the time all that kind of stuff but one nice thing about cloud player is let's say Kelly's last and well if I want to click on this I can add to a playlist I can delete it but most importantly I can download it now that's very nice course since it's your music it's not like it's happy to be locked up or anything you can just download it and do whatever you like with it very simply so that's really quite nice I know there are a couple of things you can take a look at albums artists genres I mean all that kind of stuff um I've noticed that the scrolling in the performance will mean that scrolling but just the performance loading is a little bit better on google music but again it's mostly kind of splitting hairs there everything works pretty nicely and with no major issues now there are a couple of key things i do like about cloud player for one you well it's not you know have 20,000 songs like on google music you do have five gigabytes standard and you have 20 petabytes if you buy any mp3 and album on amazon now i really like buying my music on amazon that's the only place i really buy it from so i was able to do that pretty quickly and is you guys to see here i have about 19 to buy so even though 20,000 songs is really good for them vast majority of people I would expect that you could get in with that 20 gigs but of course you know it's entirely up to you now another thing is this is kind of not extremely related to cloud player but of course it is connected with the amazon mp3 store so again if you guys are like me and you like to buy all your music on amazon you have the option to have it immediately just go into your cloud player account and it doesn't count against your storage so you can buy as much as you like it's not going to hurt so of course it really kind of comes down to you know what platform are you on what kind of where you like to buy your music all that kind of stuff personally I like Google music well I still will buy all my music on Amazon I still do like the general interface google music is just a little bit faster of course they both have support for android but google has a little bit better and more integrated support for android and on top of that it's really nice to just be able to have all my stuff in one place that happen to worry about running into any you know storage problems or anything like that and of course it's a big bonus that comes with a lot of free song I mean hey who doesn't like free music so no guys that's but if my comparison if you're interested in either of these services I'll have links into the script in the description you can sign up for cloud player all you need is an amazon account which i'm sure most of you guys have but if you're interested in getting google music you can go ahead and sign up for an invite like i said it took me a couple weeks to get mine so hopefully you guys should get yours about that time
