New update for Google Play Music rolling out

Following up yesterday’s release of an update to Google’s Play Movies that enables saving movies in low resolution, Google has started pushing out an update to their Play Music app that enables a similar feature for music. Instead of giving users an option to save a smaller file, the app will now prompt users to save their music files to external storage if their device has any available. Google also added a standardized “Share” option to make it easier to keep your friends updated on what you are listening to. The code for this latest update reveals support for the redemption of coupon codes as well, though it is not apparent in the app how that might be done.

If you have the latest version of Google Search, you may have noticed there is an option to listen to music to help identify what you are listening to similar to services like Shazam. According to some code found in the apk for this update to Play Music, results from those searches will now be stored in a new playlist named “Sound Search” in Play Music for later reference.

The update started rolling out today and is available in the Google Play store.
