As Google Home continues to compete with Amazons own smart Bluetooth speakers Echo and Echo Tap, it only makes sense that it integrates more Google products to make it even more of a powerhouse. Music streaming service Google Play Music is now even more integrated into the speakers system to make it easier for you to play music, even when your hands are fully occupied, using a wide variety of voice commands to get the music just right.

Google Play Music not just gives you songs, albums and artists that you want to play on demand. It uses machine learning on all your past activity, as well as weather, activity, and location to create playlists for you that will be appropriate for whatever it is youre doing. You simply have to say Ok Google, play some music, and hopefully, it will be smart enough to get you the right kind of music. If you want to be more specific, you can say something like Ok Google, play music for cooking or Ok Google, play some relaxing music.

Google Assistant is of course integrated into Google Home as well, so you can also ask it some questions related to the song thats playing. You can say Ok Google, whos singing this song? or Ok Google, from what album is that song playing? You can also ask it to turn up or turn down the music and even give it a thumbs up. If you dont like the current song thats playing, you can ask Google Assistant to play something else.

If you buy a Google Home device now until February 27, youll get 6 months free Google Play Music subscription, only if youre a new user. And if you buy it together with a Chromecast, you get $15 off. To celebrate this integration, theyre throwing a block party in Los Angeles (February 11-12) and New York (February 24-26).
