Look, Google Music lets me listen to my music in the web interface without taking 6 hours to index my library, consuming tons of memory, locking out my MP3 player if I plug it into a different machine and doesn't require large client updates. It matches my music in higher quality than iTunes Match.

I'm sorry you live in Canada, and I'll concede that 25K>20K.

What the hell else do you want me to say? I'll still take a wireless sync and app install system every single day of the week over iTunes.

iTunes does this once, when you add the music, and the only reason Google Music doesn't do this is because you can only add music so slowly that it has plenty of time to process each track.

You think Google Music doesn't need to index? I don't even know what to say to that.

Clearly you haven't used an iOS device or iTunes in years. None of this is true anymore, and hasn't been since the days of the iPod. Great job though.

I'm sorry Google failed geography class. Living in Canada is awesome.

Something accurate or based in the last 5 years? Apparently that's out of your purview though.

Jesus, iTunes is nowhere close to that bad. You really are living in 2007 aren't you? The backup and restore system iTunes offers so thoroughly trounces anything Android has to offer, it's worth it for that alone.
