Are you guys complaining that you had to wait four days to upload all you music files? Did you guys sit there and stare at the status bar or something? I hit start on a Thursday and when i got back to my office on Monday it was done. Woopidie-Frikin -Doo! It’s a free service, i now have all my music available to me as long as i have connectivity and you guys find something to complain about that? You’re right, I’m mad too, because it didn’t come with an omelet bar! Frikin Cry babies.

It sure would be great to get 256 kbps instead of VBR V0 or 320 kbps. I may let them upgrade the very few things I have at low quality, though.

Android supports Ogg Vorbis natively (i’ve fingers crossed that 4.2 brings native Opus support), so the Google Music app supports it too.

The web interface could switch from flash to HTML5 audio serving either MP3 to Safari/iOS/IE users or Ogg Vorbis to Chrome/Firefox (15).
