My complaints about Google play:

- often fails to find the next song... when I'm running on the beach under scant service (through T-mobile, even)

- tries to get me to try their pussilanimous streaming stations rather than the album I'm looking for... at first.

- occasionally locks up while seeking new media... while running and also tracking via MapMyRun.

But you know what? I've got 200GB backed up to their cloud... for free. I can stream any piece of it on demand... for free. And when I tell it to make an instant mix off of a song, it will no-shit pick things from the same year off the same label as well as being in the same genre and mood. Which is saying a lot, because my genres are arbitrary.

It's definitely worth more than what I'm paying for it, which is nothing. Unfortunately their paid version isn't particularly compelling as I still have more weird albums than they do. But hey - I have a 64GB phone and I have yet to load music on it, despite listening to music all day at times.

Fuck yeah, also their radio stations that hey added aren't bad at all for ambient tracks and I've yet to hear an ad.
