Hey!
I am having a problem with the Google Play Music app. I cannot make the songs available offline! When I view the menu, the option to download the songs does not show up. I contacted Google about this but they haven't responded yet. Does anyone else have this problem and can offer advice?
Thanks,
wws12

I have the latest version of Google Play Music from the Play Store. Do I need to update it differently?

wws12: Can you stream those songs? Google Play does only allow use from 10 different devices. After flashing a few custom roms (each ne version counts as a new device, also it is the same hardware device) my 10 were used up and on the eleventh i couldn't download or stream any music from the online library. Maybe it is the same for you. You can unregister devices on the website.

Question: How many times have you flashed a new ROM since using Google Play Music? And have you checked out your registered devices? How many are there? If you are a serial flasher like many here on XDA, you need to deregister some older versions of your phone.
Go to a web browser on your computer. Go to the Google Play Music make sure you are logged in. Get to the music settings and check out your devices there.
I have never flashed a ROM on my N7.

I am not just talking about your N7, do you have a phone you flashed and used Google music with? If so, each different rom will be recognized as a different device, dependant on the rom dev and how they listed your device.
Ok next question; How much space do you have on your device? It's not nearly full is it?
Nope I don't think its even half. Got the 16gb version.

Yes you can download songs to your nexus 7.
Select the artist or albums tab in Google music
Then click the 3 dots in the top right hand corner (menu button).
Select "choose on device music"
You should now see a pin with the option to save off line next to the album

You sir, are amazing! Worked like a charm. Quick question, is there a way to only download specific songs instead of the whole album?
Thanks,

If I want a song (or even album) on my N7, I just go to Google Music on a PC and use Music Manager to download all to my PC, then select what I want on the N7. It's much faster this way (once music is on your PC), and gives you a complete back up of what's online.
PS: If you go to Albums and select "choose on device music"... then swipe to songs, and select a song, and another song... etc... then turn off wifi, the individual songs seem to be added on your device. Not sure how many that will do it for, I only tried 2.

Short answer.... No.
What the guy in the post before me is referring to is caching, which the play music will do to your last songs played based on your app settings.
There use to be a feature to back up individual song, but it has been removed in the latest update to the music app... so this doesn't just affect the nexus 7.

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.

Not seen this mentioned, probably because the US ones have it as stock.
As Play music isn't available over here, Google have frozen the app out on UK N7s. If you've got Titanium backup installed, just defrost "Sound Search For Google Play 1.0.1" and it will now appear in your widget list.
Obviously it can only be used for song identification, if you click the widget after it has identified a song it will just open a Chrome page letting you know that Play Music isn't available in your country.
It works extremely well, just as you'd expect from a Google search product

Just a note, the OS refreezes it when you restart the device which buggers up the widget. You just need to defrost it again and put the widget back on the homescreen

I've discovered it yesterday, along with Google Wallet, Books, Magazines and Video... All of these were frozen in my device.

If your in the UK. Use a free us proxy server to sign into play music once. And you will have play music from then on

I used Spotflux to get onto Play Music on my PC (Lets you download Play Music uploader and use your 20,000 song allowance) but it still won't enable you to buy music from this widget.
1. Open Google Drive
2. Long press on the desired video file
3. From the popup, select "Send Link"
4. Choose either "Copy to Clipboard" or "Share to Clipboard."
5. Open any browser that SUPPORTS FLASH.
6. In the address bar, long press and select "Paste" or "Paste and Go" (just copy the URL into your browsers address bar).
7. Hit go.
8. Enjoy watching your videos streaming to your phone in your browser.
9. Watch fullscreen by double tapping on the video as it plays.
Note: you MUST have a flash enabled browser. I use Boat Browser on Jellybean 4.1.2
This was written because I did some searching and could not find anything else that showed how to stream video FROM Google Drive TO your Android device. I hope this helps, if it does, just click Thanks!
Try Plex...... Its a hell of an app granted you have to leave your PC on but its worth it.
Or you can get a file manager that support cloud computing (example. X-plore from the market) and just simply click the file and play it back on your phone without having to go through a browser that supports flash

Thanks OP.
Not to thread hijack but dude thanks for the Plex tip, I had never heard of it. It's the ****!

The reason I use this method is because the Google method automatically converts the video to a flash supported content that can be streamed no matter what. I have lots of various formats that I don't want to have multiple codecs for. There are other ways to do it but none I'd personally seen on streaming from this method. Beauty of Android: multiple ways to get to there!

Can you share with folks exactly how Plex is used? I tried it, loved it, and I'm positive that if folks search for this solution, they'll want to here about this! It's astonishingly straightforward and really easy to use, but everyone's skill level is different.

This is awesome. I got only 8 GB of storage and no SD card or USB drive support, but now Google Drive is perfectly useful to me.

It turns your computer into a server, and through the installed Plex software allows you to stream all media content seamlessly from your computer to your phone.

Sorry to bother.. i am on a nexus 5 (i know, wrong thread) but i can't seem to make mx player my default player.. android 4.4 doesn't ask me which player should it use, for example when i open a youtube video from browser it starts with a default player (which i can't find in the apps). I tried everything, restore defaults, format data, flash another rom but nothing solved it.. help!

Did you try to open a video from mobile youtube (on dolphin or another browser)? Does it open mx player or stock video player? On mine it doesn't ask to choose..
Works fine.
On my Nexus 7 2012 it works fine. It is the free version.
Can't you see it in the play store? Or does the app crash when you open it? Tell me more about the problem please.

Works on my nexus 7 2012 as well. Try opening a video from a file explorer. I have 4 different movie players {don't ask why) when I open the folder containing movies and select one of the files I'm promoted to pick which player to use.

I think what you're suggesting is piracy. If you really don't want ads but don't want to support dev, just use adaway.

You'll need to use FDroid (look it up on Google etc.) to get AdAway - it's alternative store for open source apps
I'd buy the Pro version though, even if it's to just support the developers.
Nah, not compatible with the androidversion... KitKat 4.4.2 on Nexus 5...
I need to ask, is any body else annoyed that when you add a song onto a playlist in the play music app it goes All the way to the bottom to the playlist. So you have to scroll all the music to reach the latest song you added onto the playlist. Is there a solution to this, is it just me?
YES!!! So annoying. However, I used to use DoubleTwist and it did the same thing.
So you're saying that the app is adding songs to your playlist in the same order that you added them?! Must be a bug.
I like my apps to randomly order things without my input...

No, but i much rather be given the option to arrange my songs from recently added, down to oldest. It is much better then scrolling through 50+ songs just to hear the latest one i added to my playlist. Play music used to order songs like this but at some point it changed. The option would be nice.

Agreed.
This and the fact Google Music doesn't have a podcast subscription feature are my two biggest complaints.
I though it could be adjusted online? I mean, it sucks to have to do that but I'm sure they'll get it sorted out. I'll have to logon my computer (what's that??) and see if I can reorder a playlist.
