The service of process launched at the Google I/O conference this calendar week, and is essentially a music computer memory service like Amazon's Mottle Drive and Cloud Role player service. It has space for 20,000 songs, and is but usable on Android devices at the current time.

Mashable reported on Wednesday that information technology had seen some scams using Google Music as bait, "from Certified public accountant surveys to data gathering apps that prompt you to enrol personal information." Their activities look quite similar to those scams already in existence — the ones that offer sovereign iPads, iPhones, and else items for filling out their surveys operating room clicking a few links.

Google stresses that it is the only one able to give out invites to the service: unlike the youth of Gmail where users were given beta invites to give intent on friends, Google Euphony users have none. From each one invite is linked to a specific user account, meaning that invite works for no more one else.
