Music Beta Review
by on October 18, 2011
Music Beta for Android is a strange beast, given that it is currently only available in the US and the service it serves (the cloud music service offered by Google) is invite only. If you manage to become part of this exclusive club, then this app will allow you to stream all your uploaded music straight to your smartphone. If not, then it will merely act as a normal music player.
There’s no denying that adding content to the cloud is the future of computing, so it is great that someone as big as Google has decided to enter this space. It’s official music player for Music Beta is an interesting one, in that it is not as slick as we would have hoped.
The Android app offers a similar view as what you get on your desktop, and there’s also things like cover flow so you can switch through your albums seamlessly. Other options include the ability to make an instant mix, create a playlist and searching your content.
The app will eat through your 3G so it’s best to use over Wi-Fi. Couple this with a rather ugly widget and what you have is the start of something great but there’s enough bugs that this deserves its beta tag.

pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
