This is a feature available in the Android app as an "On Device" filter. Has anyone figured this out?
Oddly enough, the thing that prevents me from fully adopting Google Play Music as my one and only music source is its performance on the desktop. Perhaps something's wrong with my computer(s), but playing Google Music from a browser window regularly skips when my browser has to do something intensive in another tab. It's also easy for me to accidentally close the tab. And it doesn't interface with my keyboard's media…
Secondly, did you try w/ both Flash (the default) and the HTML5 player? You can enable the HTML5 player in the Labs section of Music; that might significantly alter your web experience.
I've been trying out a different music service every few months, here's something interesting I found. Number of songs: - Xbox Music 30 million. - Apple iTunes 26 million. - Amazon MP3 25 million. - Spotify 20 million. - Rdio 20 million. - Google Music 18 million. I've most recently been using Google Music since I can upload songs albums which aren't available in their library (e.g. Beatles). However, Xbox Music is p…
- Deezer 30 million, available on all devices

My desktop performance on both my 32GB Linux desktop at work, and my 8GB Windows desktop at home is generally flawless, and I rarely have fewer than 10 tabs open in either place. I do use Chrome exclusively; maybe the performance in another browser is a different story? I assume Chrome's process-per-tab design would make this experience a little more robust.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Do you have a subscription or trial for All Access? Listen Now and instant mixes should definitely use the whole catalog if you do - at least they do in Android and Web.
I don’t, I guess my expectations were wrong, not very clear though. So what are the features available without a subscription? Just music upload from my computer? I was under the impression that some kind of radio/streaming was included in the free account.

Incentive? Do people use Maps and Music on iPad to the extent that they do on iPhone? Personally, I only really use both when I'm on the move - I'm very unlikely to pull out a tablet at that point. This applies a lot more to Maps than it does to Music, of course.
But large-screen maps is a lot more useful than large-screen music UI.
I've been using Google Music as a backup of my library for quite some time, but recently have found using it as my primary player much more convenient that loading iTunes and dealing with iTunes Match, which IMO, is broken. (there is a side story her about moving countries, but that's for another time).
Would love to see a Rdio/Spotify-esque native application as well, but that might be asking a little too much.
EDIT: The lack of a online/offline music toggle is really disappointing.
I can figure out how to download stuff so it is available for offline playing, but I can't figure out how to filter out only content that is available offline. This is a feature available in the Android app as an "On Device" filter. Has anyone figured this out?
