Google Music is pretty amazing.  20,000 song limit with no space specifications.  Uploading 16,667 songs from my library... May take a while, but totally worth it (and totally free to boot!).

Glad you said something. I was approved for Google Music Beta a month or so back, I forgot about it until you said something. All of my music (18,000+ songs) is on my home office computer, which is a desktop I rarely ever turn on. Since I always use my laptop in the comfort of my couch in the living room, my old self-built desktop from 2004 just gathers dust...and stores music. Anyhow, when you posted it reminded me I had to go through the rigmarole of firing up my desktop, updating Firefox and everything else, downloaded the Google Music program, and starting it to uploading my collection (which does include Johnny Cash singing in German and Conway Twitty singing in Russian, why yes, I am an avid vintage country music collector). I also have very rare Johnny Cash singing "Folsom Prison Blues" in high tenor, it sucks, but it's fascinating to hear a true musical genius experimenting with his voice. I also have Gene Autry singing "smut songs", very intriguing and neat to listen to if you have any childhood involving Gene Autry.

Never heard of it.

Now I have: "We're sorry. Music Beta is currently only available in the United States"

Kind of the next big thing in music, I perceive. I have about 80GB of music and a 32GB iPhone, making my iPhone useless for transporting my entire collection. Once Google Music (cloud music storage) takes off, it'll be tons easy to always have access to my extensive collection, of which I'm very proud of, as you may probably can tell.
