Google Play Music is a service that allows you to play, store, and share the songs you love. With the help of Google Music, you can upload up to 20,000 songs from your own music collection and stream it from your web browser or any Android device. If you already have a Google account, Google Music is a service you can use to upload the songs at no cost. If you have the Google Music app on your mobile device, you can listen to the songs offline too since it keeps your music library updated automatically across all your devices.
