    If they are Android you can play them in Google Play Music, you can pin them to the device on WiFi or simply play them once and they will cache (caches the last 100 played songs)

    you can "pin" albums in the Play Music app, this caches the music on your phone for offline use. Just select the album and press the little pin icon.

    you can also download the actual MP3s from the browser version of Play Music so you can play them in another app, import them into iTunes etc.

    You can pin it for offline use in the Google music app or you can login to Google music on a browser and download the mp3 files and transfer them to your phone storage.

    Edit: loyatemu is faster than me

    Thanks guys. So I've "pinned" the 5 albums. But am I right in saying that I can only pin 100 songs? so this wouldn't be good enough if I was to get another few albums. And can I play my cds through Google play (if I copy them to the tablet) or would I need to use another music player app?

    Ill try to download them from the website. Cds were much simplier!

    I'm fairly sure you can pin until you run out if space, that this does not include the last 100 songs cache

    the Play app will play any MP3s on the tablet, they'll just show up the same as any albums you've bought.

    you can also install the Google Uploader on your PC/laptop and it will upload any MP3s you have to the Google cloud (up to a limit of 20,000 files). These will then show up in the app and you can also play them from any browser by going to http://music.google.com
