Anyone using the new Google Play Music Radio?

It's a bit like Pandora or Spotify but it's within your Google Play Music app and is free (ad-supported) so you don't nescessarily need to be a subscriber to use it. When it works I find it very good but often I open the app and it's not there...it's like the app was downgraded haha! Then there are other times when you open it and there are all of the radio stations lined up waiting for you.

Anyone see it?

I've been wondering about this also, i was messing around with my daughter the other day and we were asking my moto 360 to do everything and anything so i said "ok Google play shut up and dance with me" because it's her favorite song and next thing it started playing on my phone. I went into the phone and it was play radio so i searched for loads of other songs and they all played and let me make playlists. So basically what is the point in spotify or deezer?

Not doubting you or anything, but have you this music stored in your Play Music Library already? Are you already a paid subscriber to Play Music?

I don't think you can just listen to anything you want, just Radio based on your preference....and no playlists....

See here:

Maybe a screenshot of your set-up??

I have the US paid version, goes by your credit card address on Google wallet and you don't need a VPN or anything like that.

Maybe you set something like that up and forgot about it?

No i just got my phone back from the repair shop so my memory is blank, i don't have any music saved to the cloud either and the only subscription I'm paying is €2 a month for google cloud storage, I don't know how it's working but I'm not complaining .

Well, fair Play....

liddle joke...:)

I'm sorry, I don't get it, literally, but you do.

Long may it last!! No complaints from me.

It might be something to do with paid cloud storage...
