oh, and you have to have a Google Profile, i think.

Nathan · « **Reply #476 on:** March 31, 2011, 05:17:01 pm »

Yeah, did all of that but I still don't have the button. Maybe it takes a while to enable. I don't have any "google friends" anyway, so it doesn't really matter

Works in Firefox, but not Chrome, go figure.

Apparently Kansas City is getting Google's new superfast interent connection. 1 Gigabit/s, "competitively priced." Poor Greinke... he finally gets out of KC and something awesome happens there.

I realized that you realized after I saw your other thread. Thought you were taking it seriously at first

Biggest:

Stay in sync, without the hassle.
Spend more time listening to your music and less time managing it. Once your music is online, it's always available. Playlists are automatically kept in sync, and you don't have to worry about cables, file transfers, or running out of storage space.

Seems like it's unlimited storage.

Google is in the process of upgrading how users work off-line in Gmail. In order to execute this upgrade they are phasing out their current method of working offline. As a result, on Tuesday, May 24, the Gmail Offline Mode will no longer be available through the Chrome browser.

The upgrade will be complete by mid June. Once completed, you will receive a communication detailing the improved functionality.

If you need to work offline between now and mid June, you must do so by utilizing Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8).

This browser is already installed on your computer and easily accessible.

If you need assistance on how to use the offline mode with IE 8 please contact the Help Desk at X-XXX-XXX-XXXX

We’re sorry for an inconvenience this may create.

It's NEVER an inconvenience to encourage people to use IE!

Nathan · « **Reply #495 on:** June 01, 2011, 09:14:31 pm »

It don't work that way

Only a 20,000 song capacity

MarquisDeSade · « **Reply #496 on:** June 01, 2011, 09:22:14 pm »

That's plenty, there isn't a size limit though, right?

Nathan · « **Reply #497 on:** June 01, 2011, 09:24:29 pm »

It just says "songs," no specific GB limit.

There are also free songs you can add to your library based on genres when you sign up. Free Final Countdown!!!!!!!!!!
