When it comes to listening to music on your mobile, you never seem to have enough space to store all your tracks. Fear not, because we'll show you how to use the cloud-based Google Music storage service to stream tunes to your Android mobile, or any Apple iDevice, for that matter.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 -- which we used for this guide -- comes with 16GB of storage and a microSD card slot. Even so, true music lovers will find that to be woefully inadequate for holding their entire library of much-loved tracks. Thankfully, the way we store data on our phones and tablets is slowly shifting online and away from our hardware.
Cloud storage is already a reality for all Android users as contacts, email, photos and videos are uploaded to remote servers, freeing up valuable memory on your mobile device. Google is even said to be working on a cloud-based file storage option, which would allow you to upload pretty much anything.
It was only a matter of time before music followed suit. With iTunes launching its Match service and Amazon pushing its Cloud Player (in North America, at least), the competition to store your songs in the ether is hotting up.
Google's contribution to this technological craze is Google Music, an online service that lets users upload 20,000 tracks free of charge, as well as purchase new content. The big stumbling block is that it's currently only available in the US. Luckily, we're at hand to show you how to cunningly bypass this limitation and enjoy the benefits of cloud music storage.
