Have You Heard of Google Music?



Google Music is a digital application distribution platform for Android. It is also an online electronics and digital media store that is developed and maintained by, evidently, Google. What is it for? It is basically for users to allow them to browse and download music. But what else could we get from it? Does it do anything good?

Well, it’s more like an online mobile store for music. And like most other app stores, some can be downloaded for free, and the others evidently, come with a price. To get yourself kicking up with the beat with your Android smartphone, you need to install the Google Play Music app. It’s needless to worry about the installation since its file size is only under 1MB and so with the cost since it is absolutely free.

Halfway through installation, you’re going to need to upload music files—you can upload as much depending on your liking. But, you have to download the Google Music Manager software and install it first to do so. Sounds a lot of download, huh? You must select the file where you keep the music you want to add, which is usually ‘my music’ or ‘iTunes’ if you are using an iDevice.

Have you located your music already? If so, let Google Music Manager take care of the rest as it begins to upload the songs to the cloud. By the way, the maximum number of tracks you could add is 20,000. I am real certain that you won’t even be near the exceeding bar, unless you have a karaoke list of songs! Hah.

You are going to need a Google account as well since—hello—this is Google Music. But if you are using Android phone, then you will be setup already.

If you want to access your tracks, you can go through the Google Music Web Player or just go straight to the Google Play app so you could start rockin’ anywhere in the world, provided that you are connected to the internet via wireless or not—perhaps a speedy one.

Anyway, its better if you have stored some music files into your device since streaming your music from the cloud can eat up heavily into your monthly data allowance—like what was stated. You can download other music files by simply loading up the Google Music Manager and select the ‘download’ tab. From then, you can download everything from the cloud, or you can be selective with the songs you want to download.

How is it better than the traditional transferring of files through a USB cable? Well, with just some toggles and taps, you can have all your favorite songs playing without the hassle of finding the cable and waiting for files to be transferred. Not that it’s too much of a work, but this one is pretty much easier.

You think you have to be fully connected so you won’t experience the annoying music blackouts? Not to worry, since Google has built in a solution. The recent songs that were played are cached so that they will just keep playing as your Android phone finds its way to be connected once again.

Well, that’s just only some bits and bites of Google Music. So, make use of your mobile earphones, and get rockin’ with the Google Music!
