Interface
Personally, I feel that the Google team could, should, and likely will make the fonts and scrolling smoother. This is my main gripe about the interface. The controls are a bit out-of-the-way, and the lack of right-click functionality throws me off a bit, but Google's method of choice for fixing this (a small button at the bottom-right corner of each track) is tactful and well-executed. The control issues can be fixed with several Chrome apps, but I do not use Firefox , Opera, Safari, or IE, so I cannot recommend help to those of you who do. All in all, Google Music Beta's interface is good, especially for something still in beta. My numerical score of the interface: 8.7/10
Adding Music to the Library
Like, ten clicks and a few hours of waiting, and my entire iTunes library (small as it may be) was available far quicker than even iTunes itself could present it. The fact that Google gives users a few free tracks based on which boxes they checked during setup does nothing but good for my opinion of this service. I have no issues with the music adding process other than the lack of in-service purchasing and duplicate track prevention. Numerical score: 9.4/10
The Listening Experience
At first, songs tended to skip if other tabs were open. Somewhere along the line, Google has improved this. As there have been no other problems so far, my review ends here. Numerical score: 10/10
Overall Numerical Score: 9.2/10
