Google should just put more focus on their artist hub, and promote that. They should promote the decentralized of the music industry and indie artists, and not beg for scraps from the big labels.
- dotBen 15y agoAs an indie music lover, I totally agree. As a GOOG holder, I fear that isn't a big enough addressable market to make it worth while. My personal view on this is that if Google can't get first citizen rights with the music industry like Apple and Amazon have, then they should focus entirely on having a strong music locker service which supports user's "grey" music (ie who knows, who cares where the mp3 came from). This would then add massive value to owning Android (which I do, and the cloud-based Google Music is a killer app). Google Music is not available on Apple, I don't believe.
