Exploring Updated Google Music and Video Apps on Your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4
As part of its autumn 2014 update of apps, Google updated both its Play Movies & TV and Play Music apps, so you can download, view, and listen to multimedia files more easily on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. These updates change the way you use the app to find, download, watch and/or listen to your movies, TV, and music. The following instructions update the step-by-step instructions originally in Chapter 12 of My Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, so you can use the updated apps.
