It has been more than a week since the launch of the digital music service. First, Apple released iTunes Match as its digital music service, followed by Google Music, and the latest Amazon Cloud Player (digital music service that is integrated with Kindle Fire).

The three main competitors of digital music storage service offering similar products and also have the same mission, in which all three try to allow users to buy the latest music and access to the existing digital library from multiple devices, via cloud computing.

1. Pricing
Google Music provides cost free for all its consumer, this includes access to the web, desktop and mobile. But Google gives a limit on the library as much as 20 thousand songs.

While iTunesMatch charged $24.99 per year. The fee can be used to download 25 thousand songs, but this cost does not include the purchase of the iTunes. While the Amazon Cloud Player, providing free uploads when users download songs to 5GB. More than that, Amazon charges $20 per year, but Amazon provides music storage capacity is unlimited.

Conclusion: Google Music is superior among the three because it is free. But the cost of $20 from Amazon seem interesting, given its capacity is unlimited.

2. Purchase Music
the iTunes Music Store is the first service since 2003. In five years, the iTunes has become the largest music retailer in the United States (U.S.). the iTunes also offers music search and buying process on the Internet with ease.

Amazon has a section of its website devoted to the purchase of MP3, but the search and purchase process is still hampered by issues of accessibility. While Google Music has a clean layout such as the iTunes. However, purchase songs and albums are not grouped into one.

Conclusion: the iTunes is the fastest application used to browse and find songs to minimize hassle when purchasing music.

3. Upload and Download
The iTunes Match that charge $24.99 per year, also allocate it to match the existing tracks in the users library with the songs in its database. If a match is found, then the user does not need to upload them.

Amazon and Google provides the means to upload files. In which both integrates directly with the iTunes to monitor a folder, for uploading a new song.

Conclusion: the iTunes is one system that is really easy to use. And the second place there is the Amazon is the better choice in downloading and uploading songs than Google Music.

4. Mobile access
Listening to music does not have at home, with the presence of all three of these applications to make access easier to the mobile version of the music downloaded. Mobile solutions from Apple was the best. List of music can be synced on all iOS devices, like iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

While Amazon a bit easier by providing mobile applications for Android and the iPad. Although not yet available on the App Store, aMusic application apparently intended for iOS users, to access the Amazon Cloud Player.

Google deserves praise, because its music applications is not only compatible for Android, but also with other browsers such as the iOS that uses HTML5 support. GMusic application is one of the best options for iOS users.

Conclusion: Google, as it offers cross-platform friendly service.

Overall all storage platforms have advantages and disadvantages of each. For the iOS users, of course, the iTunes Match offers the best user experience. For the Android users, Google Music definitely gives a lot of flexibility for mobile devices.

While Amazon offers a large storage to buy and download MP3, but not fully take advantage of cloud computing as well.

Paypal seems to keep going into the retail space through mobile payments, and further expand its move into the social space with a Facebook application.

After sending payment, users can also create an automatic posting on the friends 'wall' and mentioned the payment. Any messages relating to the payment is confidential, so the chances are sent via email.

Although currently there are applications designed to pay with PayPal via Facebook, but this application is person to person payments using their Facebook and PayPal accounts.

No transaction costs between PayPal users if his account is linked to a bank account, but charge for payment by credit card is still valid when sending money through the Facebook application.
