How to Add Your Own Music to the Google Play Music Cloud
If you're new to Google's Play Music, you might not know how to get new music into your Google Play account so that it automatically syncs across all of your Play Music enabled devices. Just adding your song files to your Nexus 7 or Android device will add them to that device's playlist, but if you want to have it either stream from the cloud or want it to sync with all devices, there's a different way.
*I use a Mac to do the screenshots but the procedure is the same regardless of whether you are on a Mac or PC.
