Hackers Find Google’s Yet-to-be-Launched Cloud-based Music Service

Hackers have discovered that Google’s rumored, yet-to-be-released cloud-based music service not only exists but is up and running, according to Rolling Stone magazine.

Users on a developers’ message board noted that if they installed the leaked Honeycomb music player app in a certain way on Android, they could sync their music collections with Google’s servers. In short: They can now stream their music files remotely from Google’s computers to their web-enabled devices.

So far, the hackers have not discovered any space limit in Google’s cloud storage, but Rolling Stone said the reason could be that search engine giant may not have set up any limitations as the service has yet to be publicly launched.

Those who are able to access Google’s music cloud now enjoy the product for free while they can, writes Rolling Stone’s Matthew Perpetua.

“When the company launches the service, it is most likely going to be behind a pay wall so that Google can pay licensing fees to copyright holders,” he added.
