Google Play Music adds Songza integration to Material Design update

Google Play Music today not only looks better thanks to an incoming update to Material Design, it's about to sound better, too, Android Central says.

Google has announced that it's adding in curation from Songza, which it acquired earlier this year. Songza's claim to fame has been its wealth of curation, which offers up playlists based on activities — from "ballroom dancing" to "getting lucky" to "yoga' — and moods — "aggressive," "earthy," "visceral" and the like — to custom fit what the users are listening to.

When All Access subscribers open the updated Google Play Music app, Google said in a blog post, they'll see that Songza integration and be asked if they want music for a particular time of day, mood or activity.

Tthe Songza integration can also be found on the "Listen Now" page of both the Android app and the Google Play Music website for quick access to the "concierge" functionality, Android Central says.

The activity-based stations will be available for All Access subscribers in the U.S. and Canada on Android, iOS and on the web. The new "Listen Now" page will be available in all 45 countries that currently have Google Play Music.
