So far it only works for locally stored music until you get an invitation, but man is it gorgeous! Also works with last.fm scrobbling, which is a BFD for me. What do you guys think?
 
Anyone have any idea if both me and my wife will be able to share the same cloud? With two different gmail accounts?
 
I am completely unimpressed with it. To be fair, I have not received an invitation and it's only accessing my local music which makes it very underwhelming at the moment. Doesn't seem to respond to BT controls. Is a functional music player, but there are dozens of better ones in the market. Once I see what kind of music I can actually store in the cloud and how it accesses it, then I can compare it to Cloud Player.

For now, I will stick with PowerAmp. There are no (that I found) settings or options yet, can't select what folders to pull music from yet (I don't want to hear my ringtones!). I hope it gets better when the cloud is unleashed, but for now it's not worth using...

PowerAmp for me too. I couldn't find any settings. It didn't seem to respond to BT controls at all. I mean it plays music, but there are lots of other apps that play music off my phone that are a whole lot more featured and better all the way around. Without the cloud, the app is basically useless IMO. Once I see what they've got in the cloud, I reserve the right to revise my opinion. Cloudless, I would not recommend it to anyone.
 
honestly i think it is garbage compared to the stock music player on my DX. Maybe as it grows and gets more attention it will be refined but for now i'm actually about to uninstall it.
 
Deleted it off my device after playing with it for a bit. It runs constantly in the background, and isnt really that great compared to Mixzing. One can only hope it gets better.
 
Had it for a few days and uninstalled it because when I play music through BT it would stutter. Back to stock music app and everything is fine.

Anybody notice how the new official Google music app uses a new kind of tab metaphor, where you can scroll across to more tabs than the screen real estate can hold. Like you can see the edge of the Songs tab when you see Artists and Albums, etc? Pretty slick. Is this used in any other apps?
