Hey, that has been around for almost 18 months now ;)
That said: unfortunately it's really a hack using iPeng's web browser
(the reason for the 17+ rating....) to get access to the track streams.
All you can do is play single streams and even these only from the "Now
Playing" section in Google music (by pressing the "play" button). And
even that doesn't always work.
There is no deeper integration that would allow for things like metadata
lookup.
Also, there is no direct communication between the Google service and
the Squeezebox so things like radio stations/dynamic playlists will not
work. For these things there would definitely have to be a server side
plugin.

On the upside... Google seems to have fixed their mobile skin so that it
also works in portrait mode and Google seems to have extended the
lifetime of their stream links so songs that do work have more than a
few seconds to start....
