Google’s Music Beta service allows you to upload legally purchased songs and music online for free. Once you upload songs, you can neatly browse them under ‘My Library’ section of your Music Beta account. You can also organize them in the form of music playlists. Further, you can playback and listen songs online in web browser on Google Music Beta website or access songs on Android powered phone and tablets [check music beta system requirements].
