The Manager does have one good feature: You can choose to download only the songs that were added since your last mass download. That means you’ll have to download thousands of items to get a single song. If you download an album, but have already downloaded one of the songs on that album twice, that song will be skipped and you will be prompted to use the Music Manager to get the song. Google has no ownership of it, yet I am only allowed to download it once. This album (above) was purchased and downloaded from AmazonMP3, and uploaded to Google Music. For me, that means I have to download all 7,900 songs I’ve uploaded to Google Music. If this wasn’t frustrating enough, to download music, you can only download all of it. Hundreds (maybe thousands) of tracks that were ripped from CDs, purchased on Amazon MP3, and given to me by friends are now all labeled as Google Music purchases for no good reason. I tried to download only my “purchased music,” thinking that there would be nothing in there except for the few free songs I’ve downloaded on Google Music, but to my surprise, Google Music believes that it now owns a hefty portion of my music library. While it definitely seems to work (it downloads tracks), Google’s new download feature is extremely limited in functionality and its ability to detect which songs are purchased is completely broken. You can “Download my library” or “Download purchased music.” One of these options presumably downloads only the music you purchased from Google, while the other lets you download all of the music tracks that you have personally uploaded to the service.Īfter hearing this news, I tried out the updated app on my Windows 7 machine this morning to mixed results. Using the Windows or Mac desktop PC client, you can now click one of two options. The announcement was made on the official Google+ page for Android and verified by a new help article on the Android Market Web site. Google has finally enabled a way for you to retrieve the music you upload to its new music storage locker service. Google Music users, you can breathe a slight sigh of relief, but don’t get too excited.
