Google joins the race in an attempt to get users to live stream from music databases - clouds - like Amazon's Cloud Drive.

In a day and age where music is everywhere - pumping out of radio stations for free - or at a price for XM or Satellite Radio - why would people pay more to have their music stored somewhere else?

With the advent of the ipod, people are treating their music collections differently - is the Cloud just the new wave of the future that we are all going to have to embrace sooner than later?
