Google Play Music (RIP)

[agantuk]

Someone needs to tell Google - 'it's the experience darling'. Until they start putting in a bigger stress on the experience, they are going to find it hard to appeal to the ones who usually pay - the slightly technically challenged ones.

apart from that they don't allow ppl outside usa to buy anything. how on earth they expect revenue to pick up ??

I am stuck at point 2. When i click on Start Tor Browser, a Vidalia Control Panel window opens up, after a couple of seconds, Tor fruit icon appear green and the status says - Connected to the Tor network!. After connection, also automatically opens up a firefox browser in which the following error message shows up :


The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working.
What is going wrong here?

I don't like it either.

It's not really for people who are into music.

Google Music not living up to expectations

right. it took me a while to get it work for me. try using a US based VPN to get the same done.

 

[VivR]

US based VPN not my cup of tea... better leave it...

 

[Sushubh]

hotspotshield.com or use the free version of this VPN. should take around 10 minutes to get it working. i just tried it and it gave me a US ip address.

 

[Jonas]

Duh! Just open it using ninjacloak(dot)com for the first time.Activate it and it works without any proxy then.

i just tried it and it gave me a US ip address.

Even though I got an US IP through hotspotshield.com, initially, google was smart enough to detect my actual location somehow (seems to be from my youtube account, my android phone and/or other google services which are on the same user id).

After 4-5 refeshes and loging in and out, i finally get through ... thanx guys!

There seem to be one small problem though... it only work as long as i am logging in through vpn or tor, in a normal session it shows the same perrenial error message : We're sorry. Google Music is currently only available in the United States.

Weird, loads just fine here without any proxy
