A Proxy server for Audioshield that replaces Soundcloud support with Play Music support. This is based off the concept of Audioshield-Tubifier by reddit user -olli-.

Your google account is under the restrictions of the Node.js unofficial Play Music API I used.
The library requires Google credentials. It also requires a mobile device registered against that account. Ensure you have signed into the app on a phone and that you have played any amount of music. This will authorise the device that the library will masquerade as.
The Google account also needs to have the "Allow less secure apps" setting set to "ON". You can change it here.
