How to use Google Music
Make no mistake — Android is multimedia-centric, and it does a darn fine job of it. Whether you want to copy media to your device’s storage, or want to stream from the cloud, Android, especially since the release of Ice Cream Sandwich, can turn your phone or tablet into a great media player. We’re going to have a look at using Google Music, Google’s storage-locker style streaming music application.
Read on for a walkthrough of how to use Google Music on the web and adding media, as well as playing it back on your Android device.
The Google Music web client
Google Music requires you to use a computer to add your own songs to your storage cloud. While it would be awesome to be able to upload songs from our phones, adding an entire music collection that way just isn’t feasible, at least to Google. On the plus side, the software component you install on your computer is small, and is only the upload interface. All management, and even playback can be done right on the web — where Google is king. Any modern computer (Windows, Mac or Linux) can easily upload songs using the Google Music uploader, and the web interface, while a bit clunky, is super-functional. Having it web-based, means you can carry your music anywhere and listen from a laptop, desktop, or even a Chromebook. Combine this with the Android Market website, and you don’t even need an Android phone to enjoy 20,000 free songs in your cloud. It needs a bit of polish, but it’s a great start. Be sure to watch the video to see it in operation, and learn a bit how it works.
