It's not supposed to. Play Music is only for music you have uploaded to Play Music

Go the the phone browser, navigate to Google play music and then upload the tracks you have. You'll be advised to do this on a desktop if you have more than as few you want doing

Go to Settings, App info, find the Google Play application. Click Clear data. When you relaunch the Google Play app it'll find your songs. It worked for me.

Well, seeing as 3 days ago it let me move all the music to the SD card, and originally had no problem recognizing it at first, its strange that it is suddenly not supposed to.

Music player

Can anyone tell me how to set the stock music player to play music stored on the external sd card? I searched the forum and could not find an answer. I downloaded songs to mu sd card, but the music player does not list them. Thanks for any help

How long has it been since you downloaded the songs to the sd card? If it was recently and you had a lot of songs it might take a while for it to populate the information. I just put the music on my external and it found it just fine but I only had about 1 GB of music

Yea, what he said. I was having the same problem but it was with 21GB of music and eventually it all got caught up.
Thanks for the answers.

I think that is for when you are using the Motorola software, but some people like myself prefer to just manually move files over

[Q] Missing Songs from Music Library

Hi everbody.
I have Sensation with Android 2.3.5 right now. And there is a problem I couldn't solve and find any solution about it.
Some of my musics don't show up on library no matter which music player I use. These songs don't have any particular property that can cause it. Half of the songs of same album or different bitrates or same bitrates or same tags or different tags. It's just mixed at all.
I can see and play these songs using file explorers.
Different roms don't change anything either. Sense or CM.
Deleting and copying music files again or tagging again didn't solve.
Formatting SD card didn't solve.
Deleting cache of MediaProvider.apk didn't solve.
Changing file manes or folder didn't solve.
I use cover art downloader to refresh mediastore everytime but it doesn't stick.
I'm tired of it.
I'm open to the ideas...

MP3. To clear things up, they play normally but don't show up on libraries of music players. After I trig scanning they show up. After some hours they dissapears from libraries again.

I don't have this problem. I have up to 22mb mp3, 512kbps bitrate, mp3 or flac format.. btw, I use Google music.
If you try to search the music using search option in music app, will it work?

Mines are V0 Mp3 and their size are up to 15 MB. Average is 8 MB. Totally 1567 songs.
Search can't find them either because they're not included in library.
Btw, there are people who have that problem on the net. Even on Google forums(I don't know exact name) after long conversations still no solution as far as I read.
So no one has any clue?

Tried an hour ago, it added the missing songs to the library. Just came back to check if it's still ok but no luck. They dissapeared again.
unfortunatly I am kinda having same problem but I think mine is a bit more irritating. ever since I updated to gingerbread on my thunderbolt all and I mean all my music was misscatigorized, band names changed ,song names changed. it appears that the only ones that didnt change were one that had all info even album art. even newly downloaded songs are misscatagorized. im considering deleting the stock player all together . who the hell has the time to go threw and re name everything or re download .

Google music keeps losing my music

I'm running stock, rooted, faux clock 0.0.6. I've downloaded Google music and after a few hours, it seems to not be able to find my music on my memory card. Any clues? Works fine at first and then when I try to open it later, NO MUSIC.
(I was having this issue on complete stock too.)

I'm having a similar issue with google music. It only recognizes the music on my sd card if i uninstall and then reinstall google music. It stops recognizing it the music on my sd card as soon as i restart my phone.
That's my exact problem. Any fixes.... Anyone?

Google Earth will be available on the playstore, so check there.
In regards to the movie, i believe that was only for the N7.
I knew that charging is slow.
But this slow? In 55% for 25 mins

Go to your Googles Play movies. Ice Age is the free movie you get. You can download it for offline use as well.

You don't need an app. Just go to Google Play on the web, sign in, and it will be there.

Extract songs catched (saved) from Google Music

I am a user of Google Music All Access service (i wont explain how i got it to work outside the US) and the app automatically downloads songs i add to my libarary for offline usage.
The songs are in data/data/com.google.android.music
However despite the full size and valid extension they cannot be played in any other app then Google Play (not even when i transfer them to the PC)
ARE they encrypted? If so how to fix this?

They are most probably encrypted to stop piracy.

So is there a way to de-crypt them?

There is no way to decrypt them at this time, but you can always plug in your phone to your PC with a 3,5 audio cable from headphone jack on phone to microphone jack on PC. Then record each song with like sound recorder or Audacity.
Bump on this - It has been almost a year, and the service is now rolling out in Canada and other. Somebody must have looked into this?

Obviously not. Because this enables piracy, and we all know XDA doesn't condone that.
I can't test it at the minute but I'm fairly certain that if you log into Google Play Music on a PC, there is an option to download the individual tracks as MP3's. I think it allows you to do it 2 or 3 times per track.
Why not just do that instead of worrying about decrypting music on your phone?

Open chrome > new tab Incognito > enable desktopmode > visit the play music site> login to your google account> locate the purchased song and download( you can only download 2 times through the web).
Cheers
