Google Finally Adds the Ability to Download Your Music

One thing that has been glaringly absent from Google Music has been the ability for users to download their music. It seemed that this feature would be added when Google Music came out of Beta a couple of months ago, but it was the one thing still lacking. Now, finally Google has corrected that issue. There had been some work-arounds, but none were very good, and Google only allowed for downloading one track at a time.
Google has updated the service to bring full library download capability, making Google Music not only a streaming everywhere service, but also a cloud storage service. The new feature is available from both the Google Music web site and also via the Music Manager app. For songs you have uploaded to the service there is unlimited downloads available, but for songs purchased from Google Music there is a two download limit, although even after download the songs remain in your online library for play.
With the ability to hold up to 20,000 songs for free Google Music has been a great deal since day one, but now it’s functionality feels more complete. If you haven’t yet used it then now is the time to give it a try. Head over to music.google.com.
