When I pin files to be stored locally on the phone, I can't find them anywhere. There are 2 reasons I care.
1. Every time I flash a new rom, I have to re download the files.
2. I can't get winamp to find the files.
I tried googling it, but the only thing I could find was that it is stored on the sd card under data and play music, but the folder is empty when I check it.
Anyone with any ideas?

Was wondering this myself. Couldn't find them anywhere.

I actually found them. Unfortunately, the song files are named numerically so I don't know if I can just transfer them back to that directory after clearing cache. The files are stored in the root directory at:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

Google does not let you use them other than on your phone through Google play because you can pirate the songs if they let you transfer them freely. Its copy right infringement

Check out the GMusic sniper app on the Play Store. It allows you to download your GMusic to your phone so that you don't have to redownload every time you flash a new ROM.

That's what I'm looking for. I don't think it's available anymore. I sent r2doesinc (who created it) a tweet to see if it is available anywhere. But I'm not holding my breath since no one ever replies to my tweets.

Thought I would post here just incase people missed it! ICS version of Google Music is pretty awesome and an improvement over Music 3. I'm on CM7 nightly 85 and its running well. You have to uninstall your current version of Google Music before installing this one.
I had to uninstall it and reinstall it once in order to get it to sync with my online music.
Google Music 4.0.1 APK
Thank you Android Police!
Have they updated it yet to allow you to download your music like Amazon mp3 let's you?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
Thanks for posting the apk
I haven't tried yet, but in the settings there is an option to download music to save for offline use. I'll try it once I finish syncing and see what happens.

No they haven't...so disappointing since I would much rather use the Sense 3.5 player.

When this app requests permissions for my google account it also has the letters "sj" below what does this mean?
No it did not....well, Amazon saves the song to SD when downloaded, but Google Music still stores it in the cache of your device so that it can't be played in other music players even if you click to make it available offline.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using XDA App
Yeah I have found the cache where it downloads the stuff for offline but it saves it with its own number set do you don't know what is what when viewing the files in a file explorer. I like google music because I get more storage than Amazon but don't like the player.

So the sync option is not appearing in the settings of the app, is this wrong or does it just sync automatically?
Uninstall and then re-install the new apk. That is what I had to do to get my syncing options to appear. Others have said that clearning the app data will fix as well.
Is there an easy way to rename the music you download/purchase from Google and move it into my own folder so my ocd will calm down? I know what folder it's in but they label the songs as numbers...
On top of being annoyed it's in different places I hate downloading it every time I flash a new rom.

I just manually did it which can be done fairly easily if anyone is curious

I cured this after testing the Google music store with a 4 dollar album syncing it down by continuing to buy my music from Amazon.

I'm gonna post this here because its an ics/cm9 issue I think...and this is the forum I'm familiar with and many knowledgeable people here. OK here goes. I've done a search on the forum and have not found a solution to my problem. I had an epic 4g running a 2.2 froyo from and didn't have an issue. I have a particular site that I download daily podcast from and all I had to do was click on the icon....it then directed to another page then the android browser, or any browser for that matter, and asked if I wasn't to save file as. I upgraded to cm9 on the epic and ever time I went to the same site with any browser it wouldn't ask to save it. It would try to play it instead. It wouldn't give an option to save it even with a long click and hold. So...here I am now with a brand new phone running a stock ics galaxy nexus and am still having the same issue as I was with the cm9 on my epic. I click on the link and it doesn't give an option to save the mp3, instead it tries to play it and the says cannot play file. Is there some setting that I am missing somewhere to help out with this. Another note is that on the epic that was having the same issue is that when I deleted all music players on the system I could click and it would ask to save the file. But I don't think I should have to delete my music players and reinstall to be able to download mp3s. I was able to do it on froyo and Jo I can't figure it out on ics. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks guys....neither worked so I tried another route. I tried something I've never really used and I'm not too familiar with it. I tried an RSS feed app and it worked. I tried the app called RSS demon. Does anyone know if the files actually download to the phone or is it a streaming version of the mp3?

Can't find Dropbox in PlayStore. Download from Amazon FC's.
Try es file explorer. Allows you to log into dropbox and other cloud services.

installed from play store no issues
I have come across some apps that say they are not supported with our device. Its a feaking nexus device and it's advertised as supporting every app in the play store. Any way I found this solution and thought I'd share it with you all.
This person figured out a way to download the apk from the play store to your computer to side load if you cannot get the app on your device.
http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
Yeah, I have a phone and player and just back up all apps with my file explorer. Then put all apk's in an "app folder" on Dropbox, then copy them to any new device. Most side load without issue. Unfortunately they aren't recognized at the Play store and won't update, but when they update on my phone, I just copy the new one. I have to do that on my player with GO Notifications, not sure why it's been "incompatible" for 6 months now...
Thanks a lot work fine

Despite adding to the target line, it still says I need to turn off SSL warnings
Which device ID do you use, for the Nexus 7, or a different device?
**EDIT** Put in my SGS3 details and it worked fine
Another way to do it is to go into astro viewer and go to backup apps. Go down the list to the app u want and click backup and then go look in the backup folder and u will have a apk that u can put on ur phone/ tablet etc...
I recommend the app Datasync. It's pretty easy to use and can even sync data (like game saves on Max Payne or whatever you want). It syncs data between your phone and nexus.
