Some people have posted they have...Although, I'm in London and haven't yet. I've tried clearing cache and uninstalling updates...

Go on the market and accept the new terms that pop up, then keep opening and closing the market until you get taken to Google Play instead.

I just hope they change the layout for the market like the Apple App store its so much more cleaner and easier to navigate.
I like the whats hot, top 25 sections on the App Store.
I just hope Google changes the layout.

There is no difference, Just says Google Play at the top Instead of Market, who came up with "Google Play" by the way lol, I received the update earlier on my Xperia Play 2.3.4, I'm in Wales, UK, Sim free.

Well mine still says market, could it be because I still have 2 updates available (which I don't plan to do)?

[Q] Sideloading apps and Google Play

Hi guys
I was given an apk from Gameloft as a "gift". It is normally a paid app on google play. Is there a way to have the play store recognize my app so I can install it from there going forward?
Thanks!

As far as I know, Google Play will recognize the app even though you've sideloaded it.

You won't be able to get upgrades from the play store, but it will recognize the app is installed.

Thanks much =]
Too bad I'd love for the play store to be my one stop shop for the app going forward

hahaha yeah I just started to play with it freaking sweetness.

I don't like it all, everything is just too big now. It's like visual overload.

I wish there was a way to order the videos that show up in YouTube, before they were in order of when uploaded, now they are just random with no options

The offline maps feature can come in pretty handy when you lose cell reception. Good update in a long time that's actually useful.

Damn I just wish chrome had quick controls. So used to them can't use it without them

maps labs has allowed caching of 100 sq mile maps for months now. this isn't new, just expanded.

Loving G+ new UI.
Did you notice its so lookalike to the Facebook app UI. Hmmm

The new Google Maps is AMAZING! I just wish Chrome was compatible with Gingerbread!

Can someone please post an HD version of the latest YouTube app? They actually like our phones aren't HD capable when they clearly are. If not, I'll just continue to use my older version

Dang. It's great to be on ICS right now with all these updates.
Glad Google is doing it's best at I/O

YouTube app crashing on CM9 A5
Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm running CM9 Alpha 5 and all of these updates are good except YouTube which is crashing before opening. The only way to watch videos for me is within chrome.
Update: Solved by reinstalling the app from the new jelly bean market which imbonez9 posted here

Google Sound Search (For UK Nexus 7)

Not seen this mentioned, probably because the US ones have it as stock.
As Play music isn't available over here, Google have frozen the app out on UK N7s. If you've got Titanium backup installed, just defrost "Sound Search For Google Play 1.0.1" and it will now appear in your widget list.
Obviously it can only be used for song identification, if you click the widget after it has identified a song it will just open a Chrome page letting you know that Play Music isn't available in your country.
It works extremely well, just as you'd expect from a Google search product

Just a note, the OS refreezes it when you restart the device which buggers up the widget. You just need to defrost it again and put the widget back on the homescreen

I've discovered it yesterday, along with Google Wallet, Books, Magazines and Video... All of these were frozen in my device.
Great stuff.

If your in the UK. Use a free us proxy server to sign into play music once. And you will have play music from then on

I used Spotflux to get onto Play Music on my PC (Lets you download Play Music uploader and use your 20,000 song allowance) but it still won't enable you to buy music from this widget.

[Q] Google Play Music app doesn't allow me to download songs.

Hey!
I am having a problem with the Google Play Music app. I cannot make the songs available offline! When I view the menu, the option to download the songs does not show up. I contacted Google about this but they haven't responded yet. Does anyone else have this problem and can offer advice?
Thanks,

wws12: Can you stream those songs? Google Play does only allow use from 10 different devices. After flashing a few custom roms (each ne version counts as a new device, also it is the same hardware device) my 10 were used up and on the eleventh i couldn't download or stream any music from the online library. Maybe it is the same for you. You can unregister devices on the website.

Question: How many times have you flashed a new ROM since using Google Play Music? And have you checked out your registered devices? How many are there? If you are a serial flasher like many here on XDA, you need to deregister some older versions of your phone.
Go to a web browser on your computer. Go to the Google Play Music make sure you are logged in. Get to the music settings and check out your devices there.

I have never flashed a ROM on my N7.

I am not just talking about your N7, do you have a phone you flashed and used Google music with? If so, each different rom will be recognized as a different device, dependant on the rom dev and how they listed your device.
Ok next question; How much space do you have on your device? It's not nearly full is it?

Nope I don't think its even half. Got the 16gb version.

Sear h for Google music on a compueter login in look at settings and it will display your logged in devices it its up to ten you have to remove some so u can use it again its not rocket science

Yes you can download songs to your nexus 7.
Select the artist or albums tab in Google music
Then click the 3 dots in the top right hand corner (menu button).
Select "choose on device music"
You should now see a pin with the option to save off line next to the album

You sir, are amazing! Worked like a charm. Quick question, is there a way to only download specific songs instead of the whole album?
Thanks,

If I want a song (or even album) on my N7, I just go to Google Music on a PC and use Music Manager to download all to my PC, then select what I want on the N7. It's much faster this way (once music is on your PC), and gives you a complete back up of what's online.
PS: If you go to Albums and select "choose on device music"... then swipe to songs, and select a song, and another song... etc... then turn off wifi, the individual songs seem to be added on your device. Not sure how many that will do it for, I only tried 2.

Short answer.... No.
What the guy in the post before me is referring to is caching, which the play music will do to your last songs played based on your app settings.
There use to be a feature to back up individual song, but it has been removed in the latest update to the music app... so this doesn't just affect the nexus 7.
