What is Google Music Maker?

Google Music Maker is one of those fun things that companies like Google create for the sheer sake of it. It's a browser based program that lets you quickly and easily map out a song and hear it played back to you. You have the choice of three instruments and two types of beat and then it's all about clicking the blocks and seeing what comes out. The whole thing is tuned to a single key, so it's damn near impossible to make something that doesn't sound catchy and fun.

Should You Try Google Music Maker?
