Google's iOS client for its Play Music service has received a little update today bringing a few useful enhancement to make the experience better and less frictionless. For starters, the new Google Play Music version 1.2.1.1787 has removed a major annoyance: you can now finally edit playlists on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Needless to say, any changes made to a playlist on one device instantly reflect on all your others.
And when sorting through your cloud music library, the app now makes it dead simple to filter only the tracks that you've downloaded to your device for offline listening. There are two other additions, explained after the break.
Google's official Play Music app lets you access both Google's subscription-based All Access and standard music services on your iPhone and iPad, but Apple-imposed restrictions prevent your iOS device from actually uploading song files to Google's music locker in the cloud.
Desktop users can upload their music using Google's Music Manager application for Mac and Windows PCs, but now there's a ridiculously easy way of adding those iTunes tracks to Google Play, using only the Chrome browser.
Folks trying out Google's recently-released Play Music app for iOS will be happy to hear that a new version popped up late last night. The update, which brings the app to 1.1.0.988, brings about a refreshed UI and a handful of new features.
Nearly 6 months after announcing that it would be coming in 'a few weeks,' Google has finally launched an official Google Play Music app for iPhone. The software allows you to use both Google's All Access and standard music services.
