As of right now, my Google Music is showing up in my chromebook, I've been checking every other day so in the last 48 hours, they've updated the site for it to work with Chromebooks.
Cheers!

How does it look so far? I haven't gotten an invitation (or a Chromebook), so I can check it for myself. Is it easy to use? Actually useful?

Fantastic! I didn't think this issue would take that long to resolve. I think that most of the issues will have some type of solution by the time I get mine. So yea, tell us more!

I do not have a Chromebook yet, how do I get Google Music?

So how does this work? It looks like it caches the music you play (but the music is stored online) so that you can listen to the recent songs, but maybe not *all* songs, when offline?

The chromebook is an online device. The music page is useless if you're offline :/
You upload the .mp3s to google's music page and you can access all those songs like iTunes or any other music program you're use to.

The music can be cashed on Android 3.1 devices and Ice Cream sandwich. I could see them allowing local HTML 5 storage at some point the same way it works on those devices..if you want to see it Youtube Google IO day one...it is about half way through.

I uploaded 4000 songs and it works great!

cosmiconurb, how long did it take to load 4000 songs?

I've never loaded my CD's to my PC so I'm looking at a lot of work; should I begin loading them to my PC now, or skip that step and go directly to Google Music when I have an account?

thx

It all depends on your upload. If you have 20 gigs of music, expect to upload 20 gigs of music to google. I have about 2.5k songs at the moment because I got tired of my internet being hung by uploading music.

I've got about 1,000 uploaded. As I said in another thread, my Chromebook arrives tomorrow.
This is gonna be great!
