Yes. Have to tap and hold the launcher screen. No longer in the app drawer area

If anyone wants to get Google Play Music, all you need is US VPN and a US Google account (with US address). Then just use the VPN to access music.google.com and activate your account. You won't need VPN to access or upload your music once you've activated.

For free US VPN, can check out toyvpn.com

???? Every Android phone has Google Play Music app if I am not mistaken. And the app is also available in Singapore's Google Play store. Why do you need a US account?

He's talking about All Access. Like spotify one, but I find the library much better and the offline caching abilities are superior.

 

[epigram]

Anyone's n5 arrived vpost yesterday, 11 Nov, and paid immediately on same day? What's your vpost status? Hoping to get it by Friday based on 3 to 4 working days experience some others have had

With an activated Play Music account, you can upload up to 20,000 songs to the cloud, meaning you can access those songs with just an internet connection. Then you can choose to save playlists or songs for offline use too. If you are willing to pay, can even use All Access, though the music collection isnt as good as iTunes, it's still decent.

It's more convenient in the sense that you don't have to manually transfer files. Once you key in your gmail account, all your music will be there.

Without the above, the app itself can still play music stored locally, but you need transfer to your phone manually.
