The plugin features a very simple and uses an interface similar to the default Rhythmbox layout, with two columns for artists and albums followed by a list of tracks. There's also a search bar so you can easily search your Google Play Music.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">There's no contect menu so you can't right click tracks to add them to the play queue, but you can do that by using drag and drop.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, the plugin doesn't allow you to add tracks to local playlists (except the Queue playlist which I've mentioned above), but it can read playlists created using the Google Play Music web interface.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please note that for now, <i>Google Play Music All Access</i> is not supported.</div><br /><br /><h2>Install Rhythmbox Google Music Plugin in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To install Rhythmbox-Gmusic in Ubuntu 13.04</b>, <b>use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvbn-rm/ppa<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-gmusic python-dateutil python-requests python-validictory</code></pre><b>For Ubuntu 12.10</b>, you need to manually download and install <i>python-validictory</i> from <a href="https://launchpad.net/~dput-ng-maint/+archive/daily/+build/4210644">HERE</a>, then run the commands above.<br /><br />Unfortunately the Ubuntu 12.04 package doesn't work properly, at least with the Rhythmbox 2.96 package available in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Once installed, open Rhythmbox (restart it if it was running), from its menu select <i>Plugins</i> and enable the <i>Google Play Music plugin</i>.
