Google Play Music has been refreshed to use machine learning to figure out what music you like. It does this by mixing your preferred music in with signals like location, activity, and the weather along with hand-picked playlists to personalise music for wherever you are and whenever you want tunes. Starting this week on Android, iOS and the web, the new experience will roll out globally.
To provide even richer music recommendations based on Google’s understanding of your world, we’ve plugged into the contextual tools that power Google products. When you opt in, they’ll deliver personalised music based on where you are and why you are listening — relaxing at home, powering through at work, commuting, flying, exploring new cities, heading out on the town, and everything in between. Your workout music is front and centre as you walk into the gym, a sunset soundtrack appears just as the sky goes pink, and tunes for focusing turn up at the library.
The new Google Play Music has a brand new home screen too. Think of it as the ultimate personal DJ—one who listens not only to what you like, but also when you like it, so the music that you care about now is always at the top of your screen. Powered by Google’s machine learning systems and honed by Google’s team of expert music curators, your experience will keep evolving (and improving) as we get to know you better.
When you subscribe, you’ll always be prepped with an offline playlist based on what you’ve listened to recently. As long as you remember to charge your phone, you’ll have your favourite tunes, even if you forgot to download them ahead of time.
