Client Interfaces

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 the Mobileclient superceding it. It is not tested nor well supported.
• Musicmanager is used for uploading and downloading, while Mobileclient supports everything but uploading.
• Webclient/Mobileclient require a plaintext email and password to login, while Musicmanager uses OAuth2.
• Mobileclient supports streaming but requires that the Google Play Music app has been installed and run before use.
