Stream bitrates vary depending on connection speed, but go right up to 320kbps. They have an option for low or high res streaming (or high res only via WiFi), as well as offline storage for mobile devices (encrypted files, though there are apps to rip them if you wanted to go down that route, that’s another thread).

I don't know, but I've run into this on Amazon: I've bought music on Amazon and then download it, and it came through at bitrates as low as 56kbps.

Does anyone know the bitrate of these Google Play Stations? i.e. will it blow through my data plan when I drive to the next state this afternoon?
thanks,

New Google Play Music Free is pretty kick ass. I'm amazed at the
depth of their non-major label artists and if you spend 3 minutes
clicking off artists you like (make sure you go through 8 or 9 pages
to get down to the underground stuff), the selections they
automatically select for you are spot on
