Google TV gets the new Google Music app!

Google has announced the release of an updated Google Music app for their Google TV platform.

Google launched their Google Music digital media store this week and the new app comes with integrated support.

The app syncs with the user’s Google account and all the media purchased and stored in the Google Music account is instantly made available on the Google TV.

Google spoke about this app:

The app syncs with your Google Music account in the cloud, so there is no need to stream from a computer or download songs to the TV. Simply download the Google Music app for Google TV from Android Market, login with your account, and enjoy your entire music library through your HDTV and home theater system.

Google Music for Google TV plays in the background while you enjoy other apps on your Google TV. You can add a custom soundtrack to slideshows from the Photos app, you can enjoy your favorite tunes while surfing the web, or you can just add some mood music while you peruse the latest news headlines, all from the comfort of your couch.
