Google Music works on iOS thanks to its web-based player
Share:
Even though the web-based Google Music player is built using Adobe Flash technology, it seems like Mobile Safari is able to run it just fine. The first and most important thing that you need to do is to get yourself an invitation to a beta account, kind of like when Gmail launched back in 2004. After you do that, you should be able to upload your favorite tunes from your computer to Google's cloud. Once that is finished, open Mobile Safari and navigate to Google Music's home page where you will be able to log in using your Google account. That's it! As soon as you log in, the web-based Google Music player will show up and you will be able to use it even when Mobile Safari is minimized. Just remember to use two fingers when scrolling through the playlist, and that the audio controls in the iOS multitasking tray work too.
Bear in mind that the web-based player lags a bit when navigating, but having it running to some extent is definitely better than not being able to use it at all. Feel free to give it a try and let us know how it works for you by dropping a comment for us below.

sure you got maps but only the basics, turn by turn directions? I didn't think so, about music, give Google about a year then we'll talk about it

you dont have full google maps. you have google maps from 2005. Ours is full 3d talking, voice activated, turn by turn that gives you real 3d views of buildings, AR browsing, and so much more. you have 20 gimped google programs. if you want the real deal, its android all the way.
BTW, google music is pretty cool. it auto uploads all your music from your computer, phone,ect and keeps the list online so you can play any of it ANYWHERE without having to take up memory on any of your devices. Got a browser? a phone? at work? at home? wanna show ur friend a new song u found? boom.. its all there instantly... anywhere. And its YOUR music.. no DRM.. no having to pay 2 bux a song, no worries.
think of all the memory it frees up by not having a copy of all ur songs on your PC and also on each phone ur family uses.
Obviously u didnt read anything about the service before u replied.. lol.
