No idea...and if I can, will it also upload all my purchased music as well? How much space is in the Google music cloud for.me? I've a fair amount of.music but probably not as much as others but it does take up.space.

50,000 songs.

It's quite clever. If it recognises the song and someone has already uploaded it, it'll not actually upload it again from your library. (I'm sure it still counts to your 50,000 limit though)

I’ve got a google home mini in a box unopened. If anyone wants to make me an offer for it send me a pm.

A lot handier than finding where I left my phone and plugging it in etc.

Well, if you had a Bluetooth radio, and carried your phone around in your pocket, like most people do, then all you’ve got to do is select the track/album/playlist and set it going. That is what Bluetooth is for...

There are some seriously paranoid people on the internet – you do know that they are watching and recording everything you type?

Not necessarily...

Ok picked one up last night. Its great for what I want it for and im happy ive got it. It does have some issues.

1. Not quite sorted out casting to sonos yet. It did work once last night. Play on sonos works but its then separate from the hub. Not sure what to do with that.
2. I announced to the wife to get the kettle on this morning from the comfort of my bed. This didn’t go down well at all.
3. This morning I was happily listening to the news for all of 30 seconds before the child (4 years old) got it to play Disney.

In short its good. Controlling the heating etc is easy and radio is fantastic. Speaker is ok (its like a loud phone) for background music which I guess is where its penned.

If anyone has one of those new gen2 nest minis ill take it off their hands.
