If you have a new computer, you can set Google Play Music to download your entire music library. The new interface also supports <strong>drag-and-drop uploads<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Besides getting rid of the Music Manager app, Google has added a <strong>mini-player<\/strong> for Chrome. You can thumbs up\/down tracks, skip, shuffle, and repeat. Album art is displayed prominently, making it easy to see what&#8217;s currently playing. Unfortunately there is no search feature in the mini-player.<\/p>\n<p>Google will be rolling out this new feature &#8220;soon&#8221; but <strong>you can enable it now<\/strong>. Go to <a title=\"Google Play Music site\" href=\"play.google.com\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">play.google.com\/music<\/a> and click on the settings (gear) button. Click on &#8220;Labs&#8221; and you&#8217;ll see an option to enable &#8220;Google Play Music for Chrome.&#8221; Enable it and the site will refresh. You&#8217;ll now see a button at the top to &#8220;Add music.&#8221; There&#8217;s a handy tutorial to help you set it up as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a title=\"The Verge\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2014\/3\/26\/5549494\/google-play-music-finally-lets-you-upload-songs-through-the-browser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Verge<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>RELATED STORIES<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/first-image-of-vlc-media-player-for-windows-phone-8-released\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First image of VLC media player for Windows Phone 8 released<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/rumor-apple-considering-making-spotify-competitor\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rumor: Apple considering making Spotify competitor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/local-calendar-and-contacts-sync-returning-to-itunes\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Local calendar and contacts sync returning to iTunes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can finally upload tracks from the browser to Google Play Music.
