Have you tried Google Music?

While surfing on Facebook the other day, one of the ads on the sidebar was to get free music from some of my favorite artists.  Upon clicking on the ad, I was taken over to Google music.  Sure enough, there was a 9 sing set from one of my favorite artists, Dave Matthews Band.

I proceeded to add the album into my cart and sure enough, there was no charge for the download.  It is a 9 song set from the band's summer concert that they did in Chicago.

The music quality is really pretty good, so I listened to the entire set while working on a slide deck for work on Friday.  I have to say that I am quite impressed with the quality of the music.  The interface is complegtely different than iTunes, which is nice.  I also brought up Google Music on my iPhone and iPad and was able to play the music easily from the site on those devices too.

I am not sure that I would completely drop iTunes for Google Music, but it is a nice alternative.  Now the only issue is how to do I keep up with two music sites that have music on them.  Granted I have not looked around the Google Music interface exhaustively, but I do not see a way to export the music, or even burn the music to a CD, so I am not sure how I would do that.  Ironicly, I can perform a Google search to figure it out.

If you have not given Google Music a try yet, you should stop by and give it a try.  Who knows, you may find some free music on the site from your favorite artist as well.

Have a great Sunday!
