Google's long-awaited music store and iTunes challenger has been launched with a number of exclusives from artists such as The Rolling Stones and Coldplay.
The service offers a mixture of streaming, downloads and social media, syncing users' entire music library across their devices.
The initial reaction from Silicon Valley tech writers was that the service was, well, pretty similar to iTunes, but, you know, not as great.
Google's bid to break Apple's decade-long supremacy in the digital music world allows users to store up to 20,000 songs in their personal locker on the Google cloud service. That is similar to what Apple's Match cloud server offers its users, except, according to one Google exec, his company won't be charging an annual fee to allow users to listen to their own music on the cloud. (Apple's Match charges a $25 annual fee for storage.)
Tracks bought from the Google store are automatically synced to users' library, while there is also the option to share one full free play of a track with a friend using the Google+ social networking site.
So far, Google has signed up three of the four major record labels - Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and EMI - but has not yet reached a deal with the Warner Music Group, which has a 20-percent share of the U.S. market.
Exclusives on the service include an unheard concert recording from The Rolling Stones, a Coldplay live track, Busta Rhymes' first single from his upcoming album 'Why Stop Now', along with content from Shakira, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band and DJ Tiesto.
There has been no word yet on when the service will be launched in the UK.
