Google Play Music Updated To v5.6 With Tweaked Navigation Menu, Android TV Support, Now Limited To 5 Smartphones, And More [APK Download]

mmWhat is this? Update Monday? Google’s updates are becoming so prolific they cannot be contained by a single day of the week. Today the slow rollout of Google Play Music v5.6 has started, but before you get your hopes up, it’s not a huge update. And no, it’s not #materialyolo. There are still some notable changes, though.

What’s New
  • New switch in navigation slide-out to toggle between on-device and all music (moved from action bar dropdown)
  • New account switcher UI
  • Support for Android TV casting
  • New empty download queue UI
  • No longer works with Cheapcast
  • Authorized devices now (sort of) categorized
  • Device limits now set to maximum of 5 phones (still 10 overall)
