Finally, Google has brought its Google Play scan and match feature to the US. The service looks at your local collection of music and identifies those tracks automatically, making them instantly available for access through Google's systems.
It has an innovative feature that allows users to scan their credit cards with their iPhone camera to auto-fill billing information (and thus avoid having to fill in information on such a tiny screen).
More cleverly, a feature Apple calls iTunes Match will let a user scan their music library to unlock access to high quality digital recordings of the music that can be downloaded to any of their devices.
