G-Ear Music Player

       Mac OS

This app lets you connect to your existing Google Play music player (also known as Google Music) account and listen to your favorite music without confining yourself to a web browser, or having to install Flash Player. The interface aims to be simple and intuitive, and just do what it has to. So don't hesitate, just go on and try!

Google Music is a free service which lets you put your collection into the cloud, and listen to your songs anytime, anywhere, without having to carry them all along.
