[Package Request] Google Play Music Manager

[Decipher]

I don't know if this is even possible, but there is a debian build (.deb) of the Google Play Music Manager available.

It would be nice if it was possible to install this on a Syno box and have the contents of a Music share automatically synced to Google Play Music.

The debian installs can be found at: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/google_music/stable/main/base/google-musicmanager-beta

As an aside, this post implies that it can be done manually, but it'd be preferable if it was a Syno package: http://www.mauchle.name/blog/?p=225

AFAIK source is not available and binaries are only for x86, it's Xorg app with unsure whatever it can be use headless, it provides only one functionality - syncing music with Google Music. Maybe some unofficial apps for syncing but this particular one stands no chance here.

I'll keep my eyes out then. Shame, it would be great to have on a Syno NAS.

This appears to be a python based script to sync music to Google Music
https://github.com/Stono/google-music-sync

It makes use of the https://github.com/simon-weber/Unofficial-Google-Music-API

Or the very similar script:

Hi there, I'm very interested in an option like this, too. Is there any progress?

Also interested by this, would be very useful to upload music from synology directly

There is a new alternative that seems promising:

https://github.com/thebigmunch/google-music-scripts

It's a Python module for headless command-line functions to interoperate with Google Music, uploading music in same fashion as the desktop app. One challenge is that it requires Python 3.6 but most current supported version is 3.5.1.

So, multiple challenges... having Python 3.6 working on Synology then addressing any incompatibilities in running google-music-scripts on Synology rather than on a more standard Linux distro.

I'd give it a shot myself but lack the necessary technical depth with Python.
