For Google, the web is the desktop. They have a Google Music desktop client: it's any standards compliant browser (yes, it has access to files and filesystem sync). And because it's the web, it supports Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Of course, there aren't any ads to be served on the desktop, you could be shudder offline.
