Signed up earlier for my invite. Going to give it a try while it is free....hopefully it stays that way as well.
Now does your music have to be legit and signed or can you upload anything?

Jamie Rosenberg , direct of digital content for Android, answered a question from a reporter about whether Google was afraid that music studios would take issue with Google allowing its users to move music digitally across the Internet. He responded by saying that the service is "completely legal," because it allows people to store only music that they own legally. Rosenberg admitted that Google had wanted to offer music labels an opportunity to sell music to Google users through the cloud service, but that the labels had asked for certain conditions that Google couldn't accept.
He wouldn't discuss details of the negotiations, but he emphasized Google's commitment to protecting the rights of music producers.
"We very much respect copyright," he said. "And we designed this service so that you can use your own personal music collection out of respect for those who create the music."
When asked how Google would police content stored on the music service to make sure it's legal, Google's Andy Rubin stepped in to answer the question. He said that Google will respond to rights holders who believe that unauthorized music is being stored on Google's service.

Be careful, webizens: Anyone offering you a free Google Music Beta invite is setting you up for a scam.
The beta doesn’t let current users give out invitations to their friends, so no one has spare invites to give you. That includes Mashable writers, your friends online, and any website claiming to be giving away Google Music invites.
Any person or website claiming to be “giving away” Google Music invites is lying, a fact we’ve just confirmed with Google representatives. Because of the way invites are handed out, they’re linked to specific Google Accounts. In other words, one person can’t request an invite and pass it on; the invite has to be requested and accepted by the same Google Account.
So far, we’ve seen all kinds of scam and spam out there around Google Music, from CPA surveys to data gathering apps that prompt you to enter personal information. We should be more surprised at the alacrity of these scam-hounds, but with every great product comes great potential for fraud. Free iPod, anybody?
If you see links out there for Google Music invites, don’t click them. Don’t tweet them, and don’t post them on Facebook or anywhere else. The only link you need is Music.Google.com, the official website of Google Music.

IIRC, the wave and voice invites took a week or so.

At this point, I don't even know what part of my music collection is legal or not. I've ripped mp3s from CDs going back years, as well as stuff I downloaded from the Napster days, things from blogs, and it's all mixed up - I don't exactly organize my stuff into legal/illegal categories. The fact that there's a possibility that I can be messed with, after uploading 20k mp3s, is still something that I'm concerned about.

Darn I was hoping to be able to play around with it soon. Guess I will have to keep checking for the next month if I get the email since gmail isn't my primary account.
