Google Music

This app gives a way to access the Google Music offering without needing to use a browser, this keeps one more tab out of your browser and can be very helpful if you are frequently closing and cleaning browsers.

It is also useful if your chosen browser is Safari because, as of Mavericks, Safari has a power saver mode that prevents flash from playing when the tab is not focussed, leading to forever needing to flip back to the tab to kick it off again. This is because Google Music's web interface uses flash. There is an exclusion list but it is non-trivial to add to and some people may not want to switch that feature off in the general case.

Building the project

This is an XCode project, so to build it first ensure you have XCode on your Mac, then you will either need to open it in XCode and build from there, or open the directory on the command line and type:

xcodebuild -project "Google Music.xcodeproj"
