Google Music

I received an invite to the Google Music Beta. As I signed up, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that based on the type of music I like, I would get a number of free songs preloaded to my account (in my case about 228 songs as I like most music). Everything seemed to be going well as was listening today, but I started to get some repetition due to the size of the library. I figured I would upload some more music to alleviate this situation. So I downloaded ad installed the Music Manager provided to do so. And now I'm irritated. On attempting to log in I get this:



This is not acceptable. How in the holy name of fuck does this happen?

  • I'm currently on my work laptop. Which only I have the password to.
  • Even if I wasn't the only one with a password, I'm the only person who uses this laptop.
  • I just got in to this two days ago. When the fuck would anyone else have had time to use my work computer to sign up for the fucking beta.


Not only that, but when I click on the link for help, there is nothing that pertains to this issue in the documentation.

Fuck this and fuck Google. I'm going back to Amazon Cloud Player.

UPDATE: Email from Google

Thank you for your note.

We've isolated a compatibility issue with virtual machines and are working on a fix. At the moment, simply having a virtual machine installed can prevent access to the Music Manager. The VM doesn't need to be running to cause the error.
