I just started using google play and purchasing music through them. For a few days, everything was fine but then some artists started dissapearing. Eventually all my old music was completely gone. All the files are still there on my phone, but can only be sampled through my file viewer. I'm assuming that Google play just disabled them all for piracy reasons, but thats the thing. I purchased more than half of it on iTunes growing up.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem, or maybe a way that I can edit the music so that google doesn't pick it up as 'Pirated'?

I have what I believe to be a strange problem but I am hoping I am not the only one with it. When check songs in google play music to make available for offline play the app also adds other random songs to offline availability. To make it even stranger she I go to remove tho songs the offline play pin is NOT checked and when I choose the option to only show offline music the music shows up but is greyed out however it can be played. I went to the google music storage cache and sure enoug the music is there. I thought I would just manually delete it but with useful names like 1034.mp3 it makes it difficult. (the directory is /sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music/ ). Anyone else experiencing a tying similar? I am running CM9 atm but was running CM7 not too long ago with he same problem and had it as well on stock touchwiz.
I have no idea what is happening here. I bought The Wall by Pink Floyd, I uploaded it to my Music with the manager. It plays in things like Spotify or even the Play Music website in the right order. The song data has all the songs properly numbered. I've tried deleting and reuploading. For some reason on my phone and my TV in the app it plays/shows the songs in the wrong order. Just on apps, on multiple devices, but the website lists them correctly.
I NEED The Wall to play in the right order, I keep almost getting into wrecks on my way to work because of this. Lol.
Help. I tried to go onto the Google Play forums but oh snap they shut those down, dumb.
I am not sure where to post this question. This seemed like the best place.
I was wondering if there are any cloud music services for Android that are not Amazon Cloud Player or Google Play Music. Both of them disappoint me in some way. I use to use Amazon but since they switched to a service closer to Apple's, I am just turned off of using it. I do not like being limited to only uploading 250 songs to my player. I do not need the matching service at all. My mp3 files are fine as is and I feel that automatic uploads are overrated. I do not mind waiting a few minutes to upload my own files and really Amazon is not letting me do this anymore, as far as I know.
Google Play Music has never really clicked with me. I love how the playlist sync but I do not like how it mixes the pool of online and offline songs. It also seems to be too combersome for me to specifically tell it, I want my entire library on my device and get it to automatically download all of my music. Using Play Music is a lot like using an iOS device, so simple that I feel like I have lost some functionality. I could just be using it wrong but it just is not clicking even as I have been forced back into using it.
I want a cloud music service that allows me to set up playlist that I can accesses on both of my computer, android tablet, and android phone. I also want it to allow me to automatically download new music that I put up there on my computer onto my tablet and phone. Making it clear what is on the cloud and on my device is handy also. Besides these two programs, are there any others that do this or am I just not seeing Amazon or Google to their fullest potential.
Thanks.
I just signed up for Google Music All Access. The first album I went to listen to was the Great Gatsby soundtrack.
Only 7 out of 20 tracks are listed! Does anybody know why this is the case? If this is a licensing issue, how can they have some of the tracks on an album, but not all? And if this is indeed the case, I'm definitely not gonna stick to this service.
I also tried listening to the same soundtrack. The issue is not with Google because there is the same issue on Spotify. I believe that the producers don't want to let everyone listen to the entire album without purchasing it. Unfortunately, that's nothing that Google can help. Most soundtracks are the same way, i.e the Django Unchained soundtrack.
So I just bought and installed a Rydeen DV638A in my car. It's an in-dash receiver running pure Android, specifically Froyo.
Been using it for a few days and I absolutely love it. Would recommend it to anyone. It's got a Cortex A7 processor, is very quick and responsive, and it boots up in just a few seconds. It also comes pre-loaded with the Google Play store and has access to most Froyo compatible apps.
I've got virtually all my Google Apps installed. Drive, Movies & TV, Keep, etc. all of these work flawlessly. What is annoying me is this. I have Google Play Music installed, but when I click on it, it launches the stock music app. No matter what I try I can't get it to launch Google Play Music instead of the stock Froyo music player.
Since I have all my music on Google Play, I'd like to fix this, but I really don't want to attempt to root the unit... anyone know what I could do to solve it?
Okay, so I played with it more and here's what's happening now. I noticed that I had 10 authorized devices on my Google Play Music account, so I removed some, and that helped. Now, if I press Google Music, it actually opens Google Music - 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time it still opens the stock Froyo app, but if I exit that app and try again, it works. Weird.
Thinking about setting something up with Tasker. Maybe make it so that any time the stock music player launches, it auto launches Google Music. Any ideas?
