About
Hello there! My name is Greg Nilsen and I created GregNilsen.com as a place for me to share my opinions on the things I like in life, like sports, computers, music, TV, video games, and movies.
I’m currently employed by the Grant Street Group as a Project Manager for their TaxSys tax collection management software.
I have previously worked for Northrop Grumman and UPMC as a Certified ColdFusion Developer, and have worked with websites. I’ve also worked extensively with MSSQL, MySQL and Oracle.
In addition, I have a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh, where I focused on Artificial Intelligence (specifically, intelligent search). Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Hiram College.
I currently live in Pittsburgh, PA with my wife, Marci, our sons, Graem and Emmett, and our crazy but love-able little dog, Jake.
Hi, Greg.
I read your post on the five things that you don’t like about Google Music and, as a new Google Music user, appreciated your mention of the services insufficient rating system, its failure to offer Smart playlists and a song que, and the scant details it displays on songs and artists. As you pointed out, all the benefits of having your music collection online become insignificant if those features that help users organize and access their music files aren’t available. With its enormous network and other resources, I also think Google could make a killing if it resolves these issues. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I think you might like this video on the same subject. Using news coverage from several sources, it discusses Google Music and addresses the company’s decision to debut changes to its service in the next two weeks with or without getting the four major record labels to sign onto the project. While the Wall Street Journal calls Google’s decision to move forward risky, other news media like Mobiledia say Google must stay at the forefront of service offerings if it wants to compete against iTunes and Spotify. I hope you will consider embedding it in your post.
