Competition Begins

If you have been following the news, you would know that today Google released its Google Music. According to this article, it will probably do very well. The release of Google Music comes less than a week after Apple released its iTunes Match. Both of these take advantage of cloud, but analysis would make it seem that in the long run Google Music will turn out on top.

Google Music just has too many advantages. For example they make it easier for artists with the rights to their own music to get their music out there. They also have an innovative way expose people to more music by allowing them to listen to all their friends songs once. Google Music's one disadvantage is that it has not made an agreement with Warner Music, but this is will only affect them short term. Even with the release of iTunes Match, Apple is not showing many signs changing or innovating its music services. This could easily end its dominance in the industry.
