Client InterfacesΒΆ
gmusicapi currently has three main interfaces: one for the music.google.com webclient, one for the Android App, and one for the Music Manager. The big differences are:
Webclient
development has mostly ceased, with theMobileclient
superceding it. It is not tested nor well supported.Musicmanager
is used for uploading and downloading, whileMobileclient
supports everything but uploading.Webclient
/Mobileclient
require a plaintext email and password to login, whileMusicmanager
uses OAuth2.Mobileclient
supports streaming but requires that the Google Play Music app has been installed and run before use.
