Alternatively, open iTunes, go to File > Add Folder to Library, and locate the folder you stored the recorded songs. The default folder is "C:Documents and SettingsYOURUSERNAMEMy DocumentsMy MusicWondershare Streaming Audio Recorder"

Method 2: Download Google Music to iTunes from Browser

As regarding to the Google songs in your Google Music account, it's much easier to download them to iTunes, even without installing anything (method 1). Firstly, download Google music to computer in your favorite method, and then follow the above described methods to transfer Google songs to iTunes.

Note that you'll be asked by Google Music for credit card information even to get free Google songs, so buying songs next time is convenient.

Step 1: Save purchased Google Music from web browser

By this way, you have to download songs one by one. Plus, you are only allowed to download songs to iTunes for 2 times. However, this limit doesn't apply when you use Google Music Manager, described below. To download music on Google desktop site, click the triangle menu button, and select "Save to computer" from PURCHASED OPTIONS category.

Step 2: Save purchased Google Music with Music Manager

Google Music Manager helps you download songs to iTunes in batch and without times limit. But there is one drawback: You can't select which song to download. Instead, you have to download all purchased Google Music. The option to download only new songs after last download is helpful only in some cases. After downloaded, manually add Google Music to iTunes by File > Add Files to Library. To download one of large number of Google music, Wondershare Streaming Audio Recorder is still an good option. 

Note: the "Save to Computer" option also appears in the Desktop site view on iPhone, iPod and iPad. But as to my own experience, I can't directly save the purchased Google Music, probably because the download link is script-based, but isn't supported by Apple's iOS.
