What do you mean "moved it all up into Google Play"? Are they hosting mp3s now?

When Google Play came out, that was all that they started with, and once enough people started using it, they started selling music on it as well.

I initially started using it as a way to easily sync music onto my phone, since it has a LRU of all your played songs, as well as any albums you mark explicitly for download.
