Poll & Questions: Google Music or Motocast or Both?

[scottysize]

OK, so I'm trying to get one of these two services setup. I started with Google Music, because, let's face it, Google will rule the world in a few short months. The interface seems easy and the software works on my Mac Mini which is what I use as a "Server" for all of my music, movies, and videos. So, it's uploading over 300 songs currently which I'm sure will take awhile, but I really don't care. I like the idea of being able to add a new Podcast show or new album to my iTunes on my Mac and it is uploaded to my Cloud Storage for my phone to see. I'm still in the testing mode, but this is my understanding of how it works.

Motocast is the same type of storage, but it's with Motorola's servers, right? Here's my questions:

1. What are differences between Motocast and Google Music?
2. Which one do you use?
3. Should I setup both? I haven't tried setting up Motocast on my Mac, but I assume there's an app for that.
4. Google now owns Motorola's mobile division, so do you think they will continue to support Motocast?

Please feel free to clear up any misconceptions that I have stated above. As I said, I'm in my infancy stage at this point. I really haven't played with either system much.

I currently use gMusic however, I have been messing a little with MotoCast only because I acquired a MotoActv unit...but I am still not 100% sure about MotoCast...

Interesting. No one else is chiming in huh? I'm using Google music right now to stream to my tablet. I have to say, I kinda like it. Probably only half my library has been upload today, but what's there works well. And my podcasts are there. That's really cool.

Took 2 days to upload 2507 songs and podcasts.

gMusaz since they have a locker for songs and easy access from all devices including the Gnex. You should also put up other music apps like DoubleTwist.

I personally had started using both. Gmusic because i can easily start playing specific music using the google voice commands. Seems kinda redundant but i like the fact that one streams straight from my pc and the other is on the web cloud. I especially like that motocast goes as far as to scroll the song lyrics in realtime.

I prefer Gmusic. Easy to navigate and decent UI. Song upload is kinda slow, but I set my home pc to upload stuff and just left it. If you set the music manager to automatically upload new music it keeps it up to date. A lot nicer than waiting for it to upload a bulk of music.
Spent the morning at work surface grinding a 1000 sq. ft. showroom with gmusic plugged into my hearing protection...love it.

Motocast for me. I haven't tried Google Music yet but I like the fact that you don't have to upload any music to a server when using Motocast. My computer at home with all my media is always on so using my home internet connection to stream my full 100GB music library to my phone is pretty amazing.

OK... I will be the black sheep. Winamp for me.

I like how I can wirelessly send songs to my phone from my PC. While I'm using winamp on my PC and have my Razr connected to Wifi, I can just right click on a song in my list and send it to my phone.

I know it isn't included in the list, but this is what I use.
