    Hope you get the machine sorted.
    Re music upload......I take it you are uploading them at high quality and not just MP3....If so, that could be what's taking time.

    I've had very slow uploads, and downloads, in Play Music - seems they throw as much server power at it as they thing 'free' deserves. Last week I did have a very fast/good experience of downloading a couple of big playlists though.

    quick check
    What is the download manager's transfer rate set to? Think it's automatically set to something stupidly slow...
    Change it to unlimited in the Music Manager settings see if that makes a difference.

    I left it overnight at it had done 1200 when j checked it at 1pm.

    Since 1 it's only uploaded another 180 songs. No sure why it's taking so long.
    Yeah I figure it takes as long as it takes once they're up there it will just be uploading albums as and when I add them.
    It seems you're not the only one with upload problems. I have had Google Drive suffer from a similar issue - it pretty much grinds to a halt if you leave it uploading a lot of files. Just google the problem to confirm you're not the only one...:)
    No real answers though.
