Google Music Play Dmg

Google Play Music Desktop Player adds a level of customization that simply isn't there in the web player. You can change your theme, customize the colors, send your play history straight to last.fm, and it even has a built-in equalizer. From advanced audio controls to simple song change notifications, this desktop player literally does it all. Being a lightweight, standalone framework it will use FAR less resources than having Google Play Music open in a standard chrome tab. This frees up your computers resources to do things you care about, instead of wasting them on playing music.

The app is also open source on GitHub which means you, the community, gets a say in all the features we implement and you can even get involved and help out. If you find a bug or want something new, tell us in Gitter or on GitHub and we will see what we can do.

Probably the best-looking music app on Android, Shuttle has a good line-up of features, including a six-band equalizer, and automatic downloads for artwork and lyrics. Shuttle also uses Last.fm scrobbling, which will work out which songs you listen to the most over time, and help tailor playlists to your liking

Neutron is a feature-rich underdog that competes against some of the bigger names. An extensive search option lets you search across different tags, playlists and composers, and the whole thing feels intuitive and easy to use thanks to a recent Material Design-style update.

Review by technology tell

It’s main screen shows your music library laid out by artist name in a long alphabetic cluster. It appears more as a grid, with each name filling an imaginary ‘box.’ You’d think the format would be overwhelming, but it really isn’t. The software automatically adjusts each artist’s font size based on length and number of characters in their name.
