Google Music

Annoying that there's seemingly no way to exclude a specific folder from being uploaded. I Want most of my 'Music' folder on there but I have a few folders of large, long DJ sets that I don't want uploaded. Seems it's either all or nothing.

Quite a few of the sets I've got haven't been uploaded due to size so they'll probably fall foul of the size limit although I'm not sure what that is.
 
Annoyed that a few of my albums are .m4a, didn't realise until the music manager said they weren't support.
 
Music Manager is a pile of poo. I've been trying to upload part of my collection for the last few days. Created a folder specifically for it, copied over about 2,000 tracks but Music Manager seems to stop when its uploaded 7-800 tracks and says there are zero new songs to upload, when it still has 100's to go. Not a filesize issue, they're all standard album tracks. Have uninstalled, reinstalled, moved folder location, tried different sets of tracks but still the same problem.

Also, should Music Manager keep my local folder in sync with my online tracks, i.e. if I delete a track from my local folder should it also be removed from my online storage? Be nice if it did, but it doesn't appear to, can anyone confirm this?

As is often the case with Google, great idea but the implementation seems to be decidedly iffy.

Are the songs in a format that is supported?
 
The match service isn't bad, most of my albums matched pretty well, although it has replaced some of the more obscure album editions with regular ones (the SHM-CD metallica remasters for example) but its hardly an issue when it's primary use will be streaming to my phone or whatever. I can keep the originals on my pc :)

With the match service it's worked its way through my collection pretty quickly, 16.8k songs in i guess about 12 hours. I think that's down to the time i spent re-tagging my entire collection a few months ago.

Yep, they're all MP3. Works fine if I add a few albums at a time, but as soon as I do more than a few hundred tracks at a time it seems to fail. Never mind, I'll just have to do it piecemeal. Not a bad thing actually, I've got lots of crap in my collection so this makes me be a bit more selective.

Strange that. All 20GB's of my music collection uploaded without any problems, I then went through and updated the tagging and labels inside Google Music directly to make it all organised.
 
Hmn. Started uploading both through the 'itunes' scan option and by pointing it ay my actual music folder. Neither seemed to scan and match :( I've got my own Google Apps domain, has anyone else got one and had scan and match work? Just wondering as most new google stuff never seems to work for Google Apps users.. :(
