Google has officially launched their cloud music streaming service over at the Google I/O event. The service is launching in beta today, allowing 20,000 songs, and it’ll be free — “at least while it’s in beta.” Also, the updated music app is available now, which will work with any music on your phone and any phone running Android 2.2 or above. To get full-featured you can request a beta and get in line, but those hat attended the I/O event will automatically be in the beta. Damn!

According to Google, playlist creation will be very simple, and there’s a feature called “Instant Mix” that will make you a playlist based on any single song. It’ll automagically pick 25 different tracks to build a “truly ingenious mix.” Doubt that? I don’t know man, how does Google know my taste anyway? Arh privacy issue!

All of this syncs to the cloud, which means no wires needed to download anything. Yup, just hope the carriers don’t screw this up!
