Does anybody know where google music stores purchased music on your device? I am trying to transfer my purchase to a different music player on my phone as I dont really like google music.
I am having the same problem. I found the files and copied them over but the other players still don't pick them up.

Copy files from there to your internal memory or sd card to use it with other players. data/data is a system folder so other players can't access it. Or better yet download google's Music Manager on your desktop and download mp3's to your desktop and then transfer them to your phone.

hi guys... i really need some help with my music player. im using stock music player and i have class 4 16gb microsd card with 1788 mp3s. when doing a search from stock music player, some songs doesnt show up... i also tried it in poweramp library but still no luck..
I dont think the stockplayer support those musicfiles which makes it unable to read it.
Convert it to mp3 and try (if it isnt already).
are you using .m4a or .mp4 container on your phone? sadly, Ace does not play well with these formats so i converted them to mp3 instead.
btw im using fla.sh rom (KPN based)
its an sd card problem, just format it and put those songs in it again and it should work

No, you're wrong, all my music files are in .m4a and it plays just nice on the stock or any other music player, the only thing is, it shows as Unknown Artist, but, there's an app on the Market called MediaFix that correct this issue and you can have the media info back.
guys i dont have any problem with my tags... im just having trouble with search function in music app
Is there anyway to manage your music on your galaxy Nexus using your PC? Could you use Windows media player or real player in any fashion?

Use the website, https://play.google.com/music/listen
I believe that they're in the works in making a windows application, not sure when that'll be done.
On another note, have they allowed a way for us to upload music from our phones to Google music yet? I don't have a PC and all my music is stored on my phone.

Nope. There isn't Google Music API either.

Still waiting for a day that Google releases API, MMS, and emoji for Google Voice texting too -.-
Anyone have a solution for a rooted Android to support iCloud's music app features?

I was just about to make the same suggestion...
Google Music or Amazon MP3 are both viable solutions. Apple stuff(not going to say iCrap, I use Macs myself) generally doesn't play well with non-apple products.

Google Music is okay. I couldn't really get the file download for offline mode to work right.
I've used iCloud for Music on my iPad and wifes phone and I really like how the file download for music not on the device works. My primary music app on my Droid is Spotify...which is almost giving me what I was hoping for. Thanks for the suggestions.

Mine downloads fine Make sure to do it through Wifi though. Are you talking about offline caching of the music or actually downloading it to your phone? You can do both with Google Music
I'm looking for the best way to get my music from iTunes locally onto my HTC One.
Preferably, I'd like to remove the remaining DRM on my iTunes music, and let google play music do the rest (the only songs not on play are DRM-protected).
From there I think I'd just download the library and put it on my phone.
But mainly I guess I'm asking how to remove that DRM?
If you are willing to pay $25 for the year, iTunes match will allow you to download your library drm free. That is what I did and then used Google Music to upload to the cloud.

You can make mp3 versions of your songs within iTunes itself then put it on any device you want. That's what I do.
Go to iTunes settings/preferences then "general" then click the button that says "import settings" and select MP3 encoder. Save the settings.
Then right click the songs you want to convert and select "create MP3 version." You can either keep or delete the AAC version. I delete it because I don't want 2 versions of the same song.
I'm pretty sure it removes DRM... because once I do this, I'm able to do anything I want with it. Amazon cloud, google, etc.

Easiest way, use a music converter program to convert to DRM free MP3, then upload them to google music. I personally like the program sound taxi to do this, can queue up as many songs as you want, it will convert 8-12 at a time until they whole queue is done.

yeah I'm currently trying to burn my music to an audio CD to remove the DRM and re-ripping them to my library. I already did a quarter of my DRM music that way.
The rest of it is on google music.
But can I just drag the MP3s onto the phone?

Thats the more painful (and costs money) way of converting, but it works.
Yes you can just put the music on ur phone, I myself prefer to have it on google music... but I have unlimited data so it doesn't matter for me.
I use poweramp and it plays every song I have from iTunes.

I use iSyncr to transfer music to my phone.
I convert anything I buy in iTunes directly to mp3 and then it uploads to the Google cloud... No problems...

Wow, what a blast from the past seeing this thread again.
OK here's the problem
As you all know Google went the IDIOT route and chose to give us a 32gb and 128gb option
128gb sold out QUICK so of course some of us are stuck with a 32gb phone
So naturally I bought a type c flash drive to store my music
The problem is I can only play it through a file manager like "Solid Explorer"
Yes this works but it isn't intuitive AT ALL
You can't browse other songs while one is playing among other essential needs
I used the "USB Media Explorer" app and yea that worked but it is hideous
I wanted to know if there was a way we can get "Google play music" or another DECENT music app to be able to read the flash drive when plugged in
Anybody recognize this problem and have any luck so far?
Dude, Poweramp. Why would anyone use any other music player on Android? I've tried them all and it definately reigns supreme imo
yea power amp should work u can select the music folders.

RocketPlayer - because it integrates directly with iSyncr and allows me to rate songs directly on my phone, which are then passed back to iTunes on my Mac.
Why Poweramp other than because it 'reigns'?

I personally prefer Google Play Music since I have thousands of songs on there and don't store any songs on my device.

The entire point of this is to have files stored locally so you don't have to use a data connection to play them.

Well the way it reads.. he wants to play local music files.
Maybe he doesn't know Google play let's you store 10k songs on their servers... That's the reason the pixel is 32 gigs with no external storage... Google has cloud solutions for all media. And if streaming is a issue because your not on a unlimited plan then the 128 gig is the way to go or another phone.
Google really F'd up the ability to play music files from external storage.
I've been pissed about it for a couple years now.
There is some usb_stick_mount app that someone like Chainfire or someone else developed.
It helps a little but was designed for older images.
Dammit, I'm all pissed again now just thinking about how badly Google F'd up on this external storage (USB drive or USB stick) access.

Cloud storage is fine great and dandy, except it uses my data
True, but for the record Play Music has an option to play music stores locally too. It does work fine

I know Google Music has the option to download songs to external sd card. I wonder if the flash drive would allow that too.
Yeah, I hear the OP. I ended up giving in about a year ago and went all streaming instead of local files. I have Verizon and yeah I pay a bit more but I have a hefty shared data plan and my fiance uses very little of it, so I never get into trouble with data limits.

Poweramp doesnt let you choose the correct path
The music from a flashdrive is in mnt/media_rw and thats not an option
I tried poweramp and musixmatch
And for everybody bringing up streaming or cloud storage which also needs to stream
Im from NYC and im on the subway VERY OFTEN i cannot stream underground and i dont want to download my music from google play for obvious reasons
I bought the flashdrive in order to free up storage
I just want to be able to have a decent good looking music app play music from my flashdrive
I seriously dont understand how this isnt natively supported
