Today I activated my
Google Play Music and giving below the process and first impressions:
1. Open your PC and download
Google Play Music App in your PC.
2. Start the App. Follow the steps. You will be asked to give details of Credit or Debit Card for verification of Resident Status in India
. Now comes the catch.
I tried with Debit Cards issued by Two Banks (one MasterCard and another Visa) but both of them got rejected. Then reluctantly used my International
Credit Card which was accepted. I thought it was only verification of my Resident Status for India as stated but surprise. I got an SMS " A transaction for Rs. 50 has been done at Google Services # US".
Anyway, got App activated.
3. You can only upload your stored songs using PC. Cannot upload existing songs using any other devices. I uploaded about 50 songs from my PC.
4. Played the songs using
Chromecast Audio from my
Android Smartphone as well as PC. Before I was casting WYNK and SAAVN. So I wanted to see the difference is quality of sound.
I was taken a back. The Quality of playback thro Chromecast was SUPERB. Easily beats other apps I have used so far. Being a musician myself, now I will not go back to other apps. in India.
Forgot that I lost fifty bucks...was worth it
