Did you get a google music invite?

ckim06 · Jun 13, 2011

I got mine about 4 days ago and have since uploaded 1600 songs. It works great! I really like it.
I think I got the invite because I'ma pretty active Google user, gmail, analytics, I've made a couple apps, Buzz, reader, voice, Android, picasa...

They even gave me a free Logitech Google TV when they had that free giveaway about 6 months ago! I think I'm a customer for life.

I got my invite about a week ago (maybe 4 or 5 days). Have I added any music? NO! Why, you might ask, Well...the upload client supports windows and OSX only. Not Linux. Worst is that I cannot get the download button to work as it does not detect my OS to be windows. So I cannot even get the exe to install under wine. Overall, I want to love the service but cannot even try it,

Have you tried VMWare? I dont really know enough about linux to give you much other help than alternates to Wine.

I got my Google Music invite but I haven't used it yet.

I just got it to and looks neat. Will mess with it more when I am off this weekend.

The upload speeds are ridiculous. It's going to take me days to upload 7,000 or so songs at this rate :mad:

It took me 2 days of round the clock uploading to get 7,000 songs. There were some songs they wouldn't accept because of DRM. They also won't take a .wav file.

I started uploading my music right before I posted in this thread on the 12th. Ive got about 200 more songs left out of 13000 uploads. It rejected another 350 files due to DRM crap, and unsupported format. So in total, about five days to upload all my music. Its SUPER slow. I dont know why it listens to each song because it doesnt tag everything right. Well, atleast Ive got all my music uploaded now

I did have to shut it down a couple times though. After it was uploading for more than a day and a half straight, it would start to just gulp resources. I just restarted it and let it go back to uploading.

Yeah, I have to get to that. I do have a W7 VM for other software, so it is not that big of a deal. It is just absurd. They linux program would be easy to write (the program really does nothing more than send files to a remote server, right?). It is more annoying than anything. ANyway, from the three free songs they gave me, the service looks cool. -Nkk

I dont think so. I think it digitally listens to the songs. I mentioned that earlier, but I still dont know why. It keeps bringing up realplayer and checking stuff through threre. It doesnt label stuff right though sometimes. I wish they would implement IDv1 or IDv2 tagging.

I did, but don't worry you are not missing much, I don't even use it. I started with Amazon MP3 and it is amazing. You can get so much more space free with Amazon than with Google. The only thing I can think that is positive about Google Music is the layout is cool but I am sticking with Amazon MP3 for me.

Not for free you dont. Youve gotta buy an album in order to get their free upgrade. Google Music is 100%* free.

*For now

Been using it for 2 days now and I dig it.. Uploading takes forever.. I have 15 up on FiOS and I am only at 2500 out of 12000.. Found some issues here and there but overall its pretty slick..

lgldrgdlr · Jun 19, 2011

I got mine about a week and a half ago. As everyone has said, upload is very slow. I finally got about 7500 songs up and have to say, it's great to set it on shuffle and hear stuff from your library that you've forgotten that you even had. I'm really enjoying it so far and have had no issue with it.

ekyle · Jun 19, 2011

I got mine a few weeks ago. Slow to upload, and only half of an album here and there will upload, but it's beta software. Works well enough

rabernet · Jun 20, 2011

Still haven't received an invite.

dweber77 · Jun 20, 2011

Got my invite but never actually saw the email. I happened to try logging into Google Music and bam I was in. Kinda weird, I even kept checking my spam and nothing. So far 4,000 songs uploaded and still going. The uploading is a bit slow, but I am not going to complain about a free service.

Well, atleast Im not the only one that was invited without actually getting an invite email. haha.

@rabernet Try logging in. You might not have gotten an invite, but you may be accepted already. Thats what happened to me and Dweber.

Kazu · Sep 28, 2011

I've been in the beta for around 6 months now, I also have 6 invites I can give out.

And I'm willing to give four out.

chipp0 · Sep 29, 2011

Yeah I've had it for a while also, and I barely noticed that they give you invites. Pretty awesome.
