Man Google had it just right with Google music and books. Of course they threw it all away.

I was a big fan of Google music because I was able to upload my own music on to the cloud and they would help me tag albums. The streaming of new music was just the cherry on top and it was awesome when Google told me to check out a new album based on what I uploaded previously. Not only that, but they let you pay for music that you wanted to keep offline as well.

Now it's all crammed into YouTube, which is horrible for music as it was never designed for music anyway

To this day, I still think this was the best compromise all around and it seemed very ethical and modern to the way we consume music.
