Google Play Music updated w/ new ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ widget, other interface tweaks

Google this afternoon, as part of its Update Wednesday regiment, started rolling out an update to the Play Music app on Android. The update bumps the app to version 5.6.1616 and includes several interface tweaks and new features. For one, the update adds a newly-skinned 4×1 widget, as well as a new 1×1 widget that allows you to instantly listen “I’m Feeling Lucky” radio. For those unfamiliar, the “I’m Feeling Lucky” feature provides an infinite stream of music that Google thinks you will like.

The update also adds a new “Manage downloads” section that allows you to easily see what you have downloaded for offline listening and how much space you have left on your device. You can also now long-press on a song to rearrange its order in a playlist or the queue. Finally, you also now have the ability to undo songs that you have swiped away.

The update is rolling out now via Google Play, so keep an eye out for it to hit your device.
