I'm experiencing a horribly broken login process.

* Open login screen

* Switch to password app, copy password

* Switch back to Google Music, login screen loads again

* Enter credentials, 2-step verification screen loads

* Switch to Google Authenticator, get 2-step number

* Switch back to Google Music, user/password login screen loads again.

In short, I cannot authenticate using a single device, I'll have to use a second device to pull up the 2-auth number.

For me it magically pulled in my account from another installed Google app (Google Drive maybe?).

A good start. No iPad version or landscape. Still infinitely better than the stock music app

I've always found the iOS Music app superior to pretty much everything else (including Play). Obviously it doesn't have streaming but as a player the UI is much better. I find Play quite confusing and it wastes a lot of space (e.g. the artists screen - I don't need to see a photo of the artist with their name, it doesn't add any value).

I;ve been using Google Music on my android device and it is by far the best music app I've used (vs. Pandora, spotify, last.fm, etc). The killer feature for me is that it learns what I like and the radio stations it generates are pretty awesome. This may be helped by the fact that I uploaded my entire mp3 library as well.

Yup, I authenticated in the Drive app and it picked up that account. Thanks for the tip.
