…I think the iTunes Match service is a miss. It only uploaded or matched a small percentage of my total library. And it completely borked up the playlists and synchronization on my iPad and iPhone. A rare miss, but a miss nonetheless.
Google Music, on the other hand, had no problem with my library. It even grabbed all my podcasts. And it keeps synchronizing. But I’ll have to rebuild my playlists out there, though.
So, at this point, it’s Google Music for the win. Between that and Spotify, I’ve always got something good to listen to.
To be fair, I still use iTunes as my media hub. Music, movies, television shows, audiobooks, podcasts, apps . . . they all live there. Google just lets me access it over the network. And Spotify is just damn awesome for discovering new music, sharing with friends, etc.
(For what it’s worth, I still really like LastFM as well.)
