Comments on: Google’s music match in U.S.: Better deal than Apple, Amazon? http://gigaom.com/2012/12/18/googles-music-match-in-u-s-better-deal-than-apple-amazon/ Fri, 24 May 2013 23:28:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Steve Coakley http://gigaom.com/2012/12/18/googles-music-match-in-u-s-better-deal-than-apple-amazon/#comment-1283588 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 16:24:59 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=595647#comment-1283588 Why is everyone reporting this same fake story? Google has no such thing! I tried it and all it does is upload your MP3 files to the cloud, which takes forever! Then, since it doesn’t know what any of them are it makes a different album for each song called Unknown so you end up with a big mess of hundreds of Unknown albums with just one song in each one! It never did finish so erased the whole mess!

It would be nice to see a review before jumping over though…

Does this perform much better? Amazon seems to only recognize about 25% of my music, even including previous Amazon purchases.

Do your matched songs, for both google and amazon, count against your number of stored files?
