Google Music authorization

During the year of 2011 I went through a few too many Android devices... this was a good thing! It was great to tryout so many phones (Samsung Infuse, Galaxy S Captivate, DROID Bionic) until I finally arrived at my favorite, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.  However, going through four mobiles in six months had one side effect. Google Music blocks your account from authorizing more than ten devices. On the bright side, this is twice as many as Apple allows.

Login to Google Music, click on the settings gear logo in the top right-hand corner, choose "Music Settings", and then look over the "MANAGE MY DEVICES" section. If you don't recognize any of the devices in your list, click on the "Deauthorize" button. If you no longer own the device- I suggest doing the same.


Best of luck, and a friendly reminder to check Google's music store via https://market.android.com each day for their free song.
