It refuses to install on mine. Could someone upload the apk?
As far as I can tell, if you don't have a Google Music cloud account, the app doesn't behave any differently than the stock android music app.

I've also tested GingerBlur 3.1 with a Market install of Music 3.0 Beta as well as copying with root explorer . It installs, but the Settings menu vanishes. I'd be interested to hear from someone that has Music Beta on Atrix AND has the settings menu within the Music application. This menu can be seen on Music 3.0 included with GingerBlur 3.1. One thing we know bout Music 3.0 is that it breaks the car dock based music track navigation feature. I'm reverting to the previous version for the time being, until we have another something to play with,
I just got my invite!
Had to get on my laptop to accept the new Music terms and conditions
Prompted to download "google music manager".exe
Asked if Id like to add free music from various genres - i did
Asked where i keep my music? Itunes, Win media, folder
Pointed it to my music folder
Found 10,000+ songs
Uploads just happen in the background afaik
Now the atrix!
Opened Google Music app, scrolled around. Nothing.
Phone settings>accounts>Google> no Music checkbox to tick
Back to Google Music app
[popup] you have been selected for Google Music Beta!
Allowed my Google account
I can see cloud music mixed in with the music on my phone
Sounds good.
No stutters.
The settings menu is now available in the gMusic app:
Cache music, hide unavailable, download via wifi, etc
Back to phone settings, accounts, google
Music now appears with a checkbox for sync
This was my first hand experience with Google Music beta, just thought Id share. i already use Amazon Cloud and bought 100gb and I am very happy with it. I will not be buying cloud from Google this year, Amazon beat them to it. Im still interested to see what features are added to both services over the next 11 months, then comes the hard decision. Of course if its true that Google is deleting pirated music, that makes up my mind. Ill know soon enough I guess.

Useful feedback, thanks for sharing! Can you confirm that with music 3.0: in landscape, there is no pull down notifications menu at the top of the screen; and if you have the Moto Atrix Car Dock, the large music thumb button does not work. I mention this as the later is the main reason why I backreved to music 2.0 player. Thanks.

Ensure that you have music 3.0 from the market installed. You may need to resart your phone. Then launch the music app and go to settings. From there you need to select "Google Account" and the choose the specific named account that you want to add music sync. That should do it.

Thanks! That's a great find. Glad to see that somebody is working on this.
Hello,
Please help me to find the music player I'm looking for. My requirements:
- A clean playlist (no artists, no genres, no album arts, no ratings, no lyrics, JUST FILENAME)
- An equalizer
- To be controlled by the handsfree button (play/pause and next track by double-click. More clicks - highly appreciated)
The closest to this idea of mine, which I was able to find, is tiny player. I liked it a LOT, but it doesn't have any equalizer...
And I have tried so many other players and they are TERRIBLE, especially starting with winamp, which I like so much for
PC!!! The Android's version is absolutely not acceptable for me!

Hello and thanks for your answers. But all of them are connected to Cyanogenmod.
I would like to install it, I even checked their page. BUT I'm afraid that I could screw

Please recommend a normal installable app.

Hello and thank you!
I gave it a try today and it doesn't work at all :-/ It didn't show me even a single folder !!!
I see the message select a folder or whatever on the top and everything below is black!!
I'm gonna send an e-mail to the developers to report this bug.
Trying to download this, I found another player - EZ folder player free. It works very
nicely with my headset button, but it doesn't show the playlist and doesn't have an
equalizer...
Actually it makes me VERY SAD and VERY DESPERATE - WHY all the music players
need to have a huge icon showing NOTHING in the center and wasting the whole screen ?!?!?!?!
WHY there can't be a program, showing the playlist, as Winamp on a PC and 3 buttons
for play/pause, next and previous song? IS IT SO COMPLICATED ?!?!? And an
equalizer, of course!! Come on, guys, this is Winamp from 1993 !!! And in 2012, this
doesn't exist anymore !!!
My device is Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS (4.0.3).
OK, regarding Music Folder Player - I can not see folders only with the paid version of this app.
I have also tried to install the free version and it works. I have also installed Music Volume EQ:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.podlanica&feature=search_result
This is a MUST have app!! It has an extremely nice bass boost function and now listening to
music is a really nice experience on my SGS2.
So, back to Music Folder Player - this is the player, which I will be using for now. It is by far
not perfect, but it seems to be quite working. Major disadvantages:
- it plays folders only at one level - if you have a folder that contains mp3 files and subfolders
with more mp3 files, it will play only the lower level folder. If you select some of the subfolders,
it will play only the subfolders, but never the parent folder. REALLY annoying, but not fatal
- It writes media information files to EVERY directory with music
- The equalizer does not change almost anything and it is practically useless. But this can be
solved via Music Volume EQ, so it is a really minor problem.
But it is a very customizable player and I like it a lot! Nevertheless, I am more and more
convinced, that the perfect mp3 player for Android does not exist yet
Although, there a some players in the style I like - Music folder player, EZ music folder
player, tiny player, etc... There must be also more of them. Please suggest some...
Come on, guys!! No other cool apps? I can't believe it...
I am using kamma's folder player. It supports rom's native equalizer app. UI can improve a little but pretty much suffices what I need.
Best Music Player
hi,
Try this one i am sure you would not search for anything else.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omichsoft.player
It supports Playlists,folders, genres, artists, albums and songs list.
Supports device internal equalizer.
shows itself on the Lockscreen.
and all this for an installation size of around 350 kb.
difficult to justify some (most) paid music players against this one.

This thing was last updated in July 2014 so most probably not polished for Lollipop.
The old player actually has more features while this one has the looks.

Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

i thought google play music stored the music online on its servers so you would be streaming and not playing directly from storage on device. its my guess since I dont use it bc of this idea that I have
It is stored on their servers but you can download it buy making it available off line. It's best to do it on a PC and transfer it to your device.

I wanted to start a discussion here where developers can possibly provide insight into this known issue on some devices and Android versions. There is a google product discussion over here https://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!msg/mobile/8IapTtKsUsI/393hsmGnbh4J
Basically the music app downloads pinned tracks extremely slow despite fast internet connections. It can take more than an hour to download a 10 track album. I've noticed this when streaming music too, the buffer does not load quickly at all, barely keeping ahead of the playback. I'm running a custom 4.2.2 ROM on an evo 3d and I know that on an ICS ROM in the past I did not have this problem. From the linked discussion above it seems everyone is running JB who has this issue. I've contacted Google support but they have no idea what's going on and suggesting I don't understand how to pin music.
My current theory is it has something to do with the encryption of the music that the google music app does in order for your All Access music to not be transferrable off the device. Possibly with the new way JB organizes SD cards, this has created a rate limiting issue considering the app was originally programmed for ICS when it was birthed.
I can provide logcat if anyone is interested.
I just started my All Access trial and am shocked at how pokey downloads are compared to Spotify. I'm trying to pin perhaps 40 songs from three albums and after a half hour it's only 25 percent done! What are they saving, WAVs?
Seems like certain files (unfortunately seems to be all newer music) download slow whereas other files go fast. Slow songs are all mp3 but all show encoded_library/string=LAME3.98

yes it could be... but... dont care anymore... stopped using play music cloud after one day... will go back to local mp3 and will subscribe to spotify for the rest
With further investigation, I'm seeing two absolute deal-breaker problems with Play Music All-Access which are inclining me to ditch it:
1. The download speeds are catastrophically slow. When I first set up All Access last week, I added a few albums (about 40 songs) and tacked them to my device. I go to leave about 40 minutes later and was stunned to see it was only a third of the way done downloading. Huh? Spotify downloads like a rocket on my 25 Mbps connection. Later I tried simultaneously downloading the new Daft Punk album on my girlfriend's pokey DSL on Play and Spotify - it finished in about 8 minutes on Spotify, 35 mins on Play.
What prompted me to search for the problem was being back at home and it taking a full hour to download Wings Over America. After it finished on Play, I downloaded it from Spotify and it took TWO MINUTES! 30 times faster! 28 tracks shouldn't require an hour's advance notice. Does Google think its customers won't be in the mood to listen to something on the go? Streaming, you say? I had a song freeze, restart, and refreeze at the same point several times while streaming in a major suburban area with good coverage. Yeah, that doesn't work.
2. My phone was fully charged when I unplugged it to use as an alarm while I napped while Wings was downloading. I wake up and it's down to 90%! Huh? I use GSam Battery Monitor to look for the power sucks and the top culprit is System (*wakelock*) responsible for 19% of overall use with AudioOut_2 holding it awake for 1h 32m, almost the whole time it's been unplugged! Nothing was playing; it was just downloading. Play Music was #2 with 16% used, but no ridiculous wakelocks.
It doesn't matter if All Access is a couple bucks cheaper and has more music than Spotify if it's unusably slow to download and a battery killer.
Nexus 4, rooted, faux123 kernel
It appears that the app update for May 30, 2013 has resolved the problem. After updating, I downloaded a pair of albums - one new and one from 2000 to rule out encoding questions - and they both were down in less than 5 minutes. That's more like it.:good:
Hello, i have a red VIVO Nex S. I have already remapped my button for Google assistant and got Nova launcher and deleted some chinese apps that were a bit useless. I also deleted video just because i couldn't decide which video app to use even if "mxPlayer" was set by default (no issues with it so far).
But i would like to use the music app, i am not a genius,but it seems that there is some western music and Japanese music. But every time i go to artist or songs,radio, playlist or even try to start a Chinese song, it doesn't work.
Anyone that can know why or have the same problem?
I have music downloaded to my storage. When I downloaded Amazon music player and tried opening songs, I got a message "Amazon needs storage permission."
I fixed it by allowing the music player storage permission: Settings\More Settings\Permission Management\Apps tab. Look for the music app and check for Storage permission.
Here is the iMusic app from the global model. Don't know if it helps, but you can try it.

Just install it like a apk. Whats version is yours? iMusic is here 4.2.0 and 1.0. If your is newer, than i am afraid you cannot install it.
6.0.06 and 1.0
None of them get installed
I also trier to delete the apps, but the small one got deleted and i can't install the one you sent me(so i don't have it anymore at all) amd the big one doesn't even get delete....
Do tou know a good music app that is kot called Spotify? Something like iMusic that is both internal player and online music app?
iMusic Arrangement
I recently just uploaded a music album into iMusic -Global version- and noticed that it arranges the tracks alphabetically NOT by track list number which is strange. I've tried everything I could possibly think of, but no result. If anyone came across this issue and was able to resolve it, please let me know
Thanks,
I also have notice that for some reason I have Google maps tracks... For example "in 200 meters.." Inside iMusic
