I find it a bit frustrating that you have to click that deeply, but at least the tunes are good. When I clicked one of those selections, I finally got some enjoyable jams. Instead, Google Music Play then displayed numerous playlists, including Massive Pop Hits: The Remixes and Up All Night. Unfortunately, clicking one of those entries didn't start the music. For example, selecting Boosting Your Energy opened the door to Uplifting Pop Anthems, Indie Dance Party Hits, Dance Party Hits, Epic Party Bangers, and other categories with high BPMs. When I signed into Google Play Music on a late Monday afternoon, the service served up seven categories: Working to a Beat, Boosting Your Energy, We Love the 90s, Summer Fun, Recommended New Releases, Top Albums, and Focusing (No Lyrics).Ĭlicking a category causes Google Play Music to present several additional categories. ![]() Like many streaming music services, Google Play Music cribs from the late, great Songza, offering channels that are designed to fit your mood and the time of day.

The Free option lets you stream millions of ad-supported tracks, skip six songs per hour, store up to 50,000 audio files, get recommendations based on your music tastes, and listen to curated channels.
