The Music 5.4 Update at Google Play will feature Google Play Music’s radio stations being updated. The latest update for users delivers offline radio station caching. Users can access offline music without an Internet connection. The Music 5.4 update of the Android app allows the user to pin stations to their Android device of fresh music.

Google’s new software upgrade allows the user to remotely manage their devices and access Google Play Music’s entire collection. Users will also be able to use a “play next” command for choosing specific song selection. Google Play Music offers an online music store with purchases as MP3s, cloud storage of up to 20,000 songs at no cost, and a subscription streaming music service called All Access.

The merging of the Android Market and Google Music service was renamed Google Play to coincide with the rebranding of Google's digital distribution strategy. As of July 2013, the Google Play store officially reached over 1 million apps published and over 50 billion downloads.

On May 15, 2013 at Google I/O, Google announced Google Play Music All Access, a music streaming platform that will debut immediately in the US for $9.99 a month ($7.99 if signed up before June 30). The new service lets users combine the All Access catalog with their own library of up to 20,000 Songs. All Access is currently available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
