Google says you only need to enable the ‘Google Play Music for Chrome’ lab here, making it possible to drag song files from your desktop and drop them right into your Google Play Music library in Chrome. “If you have a lot of music in iTunes or if you want new music to be added automatically, you can configure this by clicking “Add Music” at the top right” explains the company. On top of drag-and-dropping, Google has also created a neat mini-player inside the browser so you can see what’s playing, skip songs and download tracks, albums and playlists for offline listening directly from the web, from any tab. To activate the mini-player, hit the arrow in the bottom right of the web interface. That’s an awesome technology showcase of the power of modern web technologies, too bad the mini-player can’t be minimized or made to float on top of other windows.

This being a Chrome labs thing makes it work in Google’s browser only. The web app may not be available in your country because Google Play operates in select markets. If you don’t have Google Chrome installed, you can grab the latest stable build here.
