The bottom line is normal users (ie those who "don't know anything about this sort of technology") don't give a damn. It's a few hours vs a few minutes.

- Pewpewarrows 15y agoUnless Apple has severely improved Lala, then normal users are just going to be completely frustrated with it. Lala was completely hit-or-miss, often confidently matching completely wrong tracks and artists. The moment that happens to a normal user they're going to be completely turned off to it all. Rogue songs start turning up on their devices, and they lose any way to sync their original track in iCloud. I'm adopting an extremely hesitant wait-and-see attitude to their matching service.
- nextparadigms 15y agoThe bottom line is it's not free, just like MobileMe wasn't, so they will give a damn.
- jokermatt999 15y agoIt's a few hours vs a few minutes. No, believe me, it's not. I'm using the Google Music beta, and by my calculations, it will take multiple weeks to upload my collection. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=80+GB%2F10KBps http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=80+GB%2F10KBps I know I don't have the best internet connection, nor do I have the smallest music collection, but that's a whole lot of time to be uploading at full speed (which makes my internet unusable).
- drivebyacct2 15y agoYour upload is 10kB? What? Are you on dial-up?
- Naga 15y agoMine is about that, maybe a bit more. I have the best residential internet plan in the city.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoI find that exceedingly hard to believe. I literally get better upload over dialup...
