[ale] [OT] Google music beta

[Robert L. Harris]

Aside from streaming to your phone, it can store music directly on it 
for "offline" playing.  I have my entire library available but the music 
I use/play most is directly on my phone, making it easier faster and 
convenient.  I haven't found a way to share yet, if that will be 
possible, but I do have a library for my son and I so we both point our 
google music at it and we can manage our collective music in one place.
