OMG with baited anticipation am I waiting for it! Oh yes I am!

The correct term is "bated breath" which means literally means reduced breathing. When someone is waiting with bated breath, it's implying that theyre so eager for something that theyre almost holding their breath. So you can't substitute breath with anticipation because you woudl then imply you're waiting with reduced anticipation. Not to mention you didnt even use the right 'bate'

Hey now... people are already paying $15 a month for Sirius subscriptions. An in-car 4G wireless connection could be MUCH more useful, since you could download not just music but movies,games,e-mail,directions, etc.

Hell, you could probably even use it for tethered networking to your laptop or tablet for an extra $10 a month or so.

Yeah and those people who pay for that are morons or have WAY too much money to throw around.

And, YEAH, a incar 4g wireless OPTION IS SO MUCH MORE USEFUL... LET'S DOWNLOAD MOVIES WHILE I DRIVE... LET'S PLAY NEED FOR SPEED WHILE I DRIVE.

Fucking ridiculous. If you're one of those crazy ass grandmas/moms who must HAVE IT ALL because you have too much money to spend... and your children must ALWAYS be entertained by ridiculous shit, then OK. Maybe there is a use. EXCEPT here's the problem, WE HAVE VERY SMALL DATA CAPS. These caps HAVE NOT been increasing. They've been DECREASING as bandwidth increases.

anyone get theirs yet?

A few people on Twitter are saying they got theirs already. IIRC, they were at IO though....

Spoken just like someone that is and always will be poor. I guess its better that you know your lot in life. Best wishes to you.

I signed up the first day it was announced. Haven't gotten an invite yet. Although I'm not waiting too hard for it. I have subsonic at home and I stream all my music to my Nexus S without a cloud.

Anybody else just get their invite? Can't install the Music Manager software on my computer until I get out of work, so I can't test it out until then. The 6 free "metal" albums they offer aren't very appealing (which is why I tend to not use any internet radio). I'll have to upload some stuff when I get home.

Not sure how much I'll end up using this service, but I'll give it an honest go.

got mine... uploaded 3k songs so far and google hasn't removed 1 yet. Hopefully it stays that way.

also noticed the "limit" is 20,000 songs (can see this under settings). If you assume each song is 3MB (this is a very low estimate) then that is 60GB.

As much as it hurts my soul, I will have to agree with the kid on this one.

You can sort of predict how well someone is at money management based on their cell phone/cell phone plan vs their income. Someone who makes a lot of money and has his wits about him will not pay for an unnecessary data plan.

Got my invite today. Seems pretty cool. I've only been using the default music though. I still need to upload my own.

got my invite yesterday but uploading my songs is a real PITA (i.e. slow), anyone know what port(s) the Music manager uses? I'm trying to get my QOS to play nicely with it.

I got my invite today, uploaded some songs, but I couldn't see how to link it with the Music player on Android. The new 'Music Beta' app does not show the songs I have on the cloud. Do I have to link it manually? From my understanding it should be able to link automatically if the google account with Music Beta is registered on the phone.
