Google Play Music APK: questions and answers

Does Google Play Music need Google Play services?

Not strictly. The APK lists Google Play services as optional, so some features may be missing on phones without them.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Google Play Music APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the 2 other versions checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 23a05356f5cb6aec528a94302476527f.
