Google tweaks Google+ and Play Music apps for Android

Nobody can accuse Google of being lax with its recently-booming [social network](http://www.engadget.com/tag/googleplus/) or [Play Music](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GooglePlayMusic/) Android player, as [updates](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/google-play-music-adds-gapless-playback-automatic-instant-mixes/) seem to be [arriving](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/18/google-music-gains-scan-and-match-feature-in-the-us/) at [healthy](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/28/google-plus-pages-gain-interaction-with-those-beyond-their-circles/) [intervals](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/14/google-update-offers-seasonal-cheer-through-18-new-features-android-hangouts-events/). Another one just dropped for each that fixes a Galaxy SIII freezing issue in Music, while adding instant mixes beyond 25 songs, the ability to shuffle by album, artist or playlist, new default album art and others for that app. Meanwhile, Google+ has added linking to new posts, a revised notification tray and more community moderation features. Those will make an automatic appearance on your device if your settings are in order -- if not, check the source for more info.
