How-to: Use music that you purchased in Google Play as Ringtone/Notification

Unfortunately you can't just set music you've purchased from Google Play directly as a ringtone with your Android phone. There are a couple things you have to do first...

On your computer:

1. Go to Google Play web player online
2. Hover your mouse over a song or click on an album.
3. To select multiple songs*, hold down the ‘Shift’ key and select another song in the list to select a range of songs. To multi-select individual songs throughout the list, hold down the ‘Ctrl’ (Windows) or‘Command’ (Mac) key while selecting.
4. Click the Download button in the top righthand corner of the screen.

You can download each track from the web 2 times.
*Please note that if the group of songs you select contains songs that have already been downloaded twice, these songs will be skipped and you will be prompted to use the Google Play Music Manager instead.
