Google Music Beta is Google's answer to the music services Apple, Amazon and other companies have been creating for years. Google Music Beta isn't so much about buying music (though that can be done, too) as it is about hosting the music you already own and making it available anywhere.
Users can upload all their music, up to 20,000 songs (can you hear the sigh of relief from the music lovers?) to Google's cloud services and stream them from anywhere there's an Internet connection. There's also an app for Android phones that not only streams music but remembers the most recent and most played songs in your library and keeps them available offline in case there isn't a data connection available. Google has also taken great strides to make Music Beta a universal experience no matter how many devices you use. Any change made to your Google Music Library will be synced to other devices. And there are even smart playlist features that can analyze your music and instantly create a playlist based on a song that strikes your fancy at the moment.
The other major media announcement from Google I/O is the ability to rent movies from the Android Market, which along with the addition of movie rentals on YouTube firmly cements Google's place as a content provider (and tightens the competition for other streaming and download services from Apple, Amazon, Netflix and more).
