Music Beta by Google
With Music Beta, you can upload your personal music collection to a single library, even if it's scattered across multiple computers. You can listen from the web or any enabled device with the Music app from Android Market. Playlists are automatically kept in sync, and you don't have to worry about cables, file transfers or running out of storage space. The songs you've recently played will automatically be available offline and you can also select the specific albums, artists and playlists you want to have available when you're not connected. With Instant Mix, you can automatically build new playlists of songs from your collection. Music Beta is currently available by invitation in the U.S.

MISCELLANY
May was a month for doing good and giving recognition. We held a Google Map Maker event at the World Bank to help accurately map the future Republic of South Sudan, and with the Newseum, launched a YouTube channel to honor journalists who have lost their lives covering war zones and conflict areas. We awarded 65 young women with Google Anita Borg Memorial scholarships and crowned seven-year old Matteo Lopez from South San Francisco, Calif., the U.S. 2011 Doodle 4 Google winner. Finally, our own distinguished engineer Ken Thompson was awarded the prestigious Japan Prize at a ceremony at our headquarters.
