Anyone using the latest cloud drive service from the folks at Google? It's much like any other cloud drive, I imagine, except that it is just for music (I think), and they give you GOBS of space. You can store 20,000 songs for free! (For Gordon: that's equal to 20000 songs.) Also, it integrates very nicely with Android (and the Android Market for music), naturally.
I uploaded some music from my hard drive just to test it out, but didn't really expect to have much use for it. But then I went to my office, found myself jonesing for some Dean Martin Christmas music, and popped on his "Season's Greeings" album which I uploaded this morning.
Of course, the advantage of on-line storage is that you don't have to tote around a hard drive full of stuff, but the disadvantage is that you can only access it when you are on-line. I guess it makes a nice balance to have some local storage and some cloud storage, so you can always get to something.
Anyone else try it? Or do you have a better on-line music storage strategy?
