I recently bought a Nexus 7 from Google Play. It’s an amazing tablet for the price. If you haven’t seen it yet, I would highly recommend that you give it a try. Google sell it as a stop device for all the content they offer online. But one thing that’s missing for us on the other side of the Atlantic is the ability to use Google Music, which is at the moment available only in the US. Google, as I understand, are restricted by contractual obligations from music studios to offer the same service outside of the US. Anyway all that crap for non-techie’s let get hacking…
If you visit http://music.google.com from the UK and your account (Google account) isn’t enabled for the music service, you would get a nice statement from Google that the service is only for the US. If you have read my earlier sentence carefully, you would by now know that it’s just getting your account enabled for music to access the service. So, how to go about doing it?

Option 2: Same as above, rather than installing the application on your Mac/PC, do it with a browser plugin. I use Chrome as my browser of choice, and the plugin called ProxySwitchySharp allows me to switch proxy servers. Once I have signed up for the service. I can access it without a proxy. Simples :)
