Hey guys,
So I am a noob, but I did a search before posting this and found pretty much just unanswered threads. I was wondering if there's any way to save pandora songs to the native music library as they're playing. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the music files are cached somewhere while the songs play and then are deleted. Any one know? Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

hi guys,
This might be a quick one to answer, i hope
When using the music player, i have many folders of mp3 music from apps which i cant seem to get rid of and it makes shuffeling music awful. Is there a way to stop those files from showing in my music libary? I have 3 albums in the music folder located at root and i have 1000+ sound effects somewhere else...
Thanks in advance!

When I click on an MP3 file, in Reader, for example, it asks me to launch in either Music or Sound player. Both of those programs stop playing audio when I try to do something else on my phone.
The 'Listen' app for podcasts can continue to play in the background, why won't it let me play the file through there?

I read through this thread but there was no definitive answer.
Hi. When you select an audio file from something like a file explorer, The media apps play that song as more of a preview.
If you want to keep them playing in the background (assuming music) try playing they by finding them in the music player itself. the audio should still play as long as you use the home button to navigate out of that app. (Back button ~ close)
Hope that helps

Thanks for assistance. But this MP3 file isn't stored on my device. It's a podcast hosted elsewhere.

Ahh. Sorry about that, I need to stop skimming when I read. I'm not very familiar with pod casts so unfortunately i can't help you further =[ Not sure why its not working for streamed files. Internet radio programs such as TuneIn radio work fine in the background for me.
Good luck and hopefully someone else can help
So when I want to stream one particular song I noticed that the Google Play Music app downloads and caches the previous/next few songs for quicker access. How can I prevent this? It uses a lot of data and I usually only want to listen to the one song I chose to stream.
For example if I play a 6 mb song i noticed it uses about 40 mb to stream just that one song. Then I selected a different song to stream and immediately went into settings > download queue and noticed it was loading more songs than the one I requested. I only want to listen to the 1 song I chose, so how can I prevent the other songs from loading? As far as I can see there is no way in the app's settings but there has to be another way to stop this inconvenience.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I have a T999 galaxy s3 running on stock rooted ICS
Also, if this is in the wrong forum I apologize (feel free to move it if it is), but I felt like this is a problem with the app on android and that maybe others were suffering from this too!
Just bumping to see if anyone knows why this happens? And if there is a way to to stop it because it is really affecting the usefulness of streaming from google play!
Hi All,
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I just have a quick question.
I have my Nexus 10 with an OTG Cable connected to my Ipod Classic for USB Storage via Nexus Media Importer and was just wondering if there is a music playing app out there that can read the appropriate file on my Ipod Classic so as to be able to play continuous songs or playlists? Its just manually downloading each individual track into the Music folder to use the stock music player is a bit time consuming to say the least.
Thanks in advance and apologies if this has been asked and answered before.
Can you see the files with NMI? If so, tap the song and NMI should ask you which app you want to use to play it. No need to copy stuff in first (at least, that is my experience)
Alan
Thanks for the reply Alan,
The thing is that NMI doesnt skip to the next track after you choose an album to play so you have to keep manually doing it. I have a feeling that I am going to just have to download the tracks into the music folder to have that functionality.
Never mind, I'll muddle through, its all good playing around with the new toy anyway.
Thanks again.
