Ok. This is my first time ever buying music from the PlayStore and I want to make the song I just bought into a ringtone. My problem is I don't know where the song is located. I checked all the normal storage areas and folders. I still can't seem to find it.
My noob question for the month.
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.

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.

Grrrr. Still waiting for my invite. Although I'm not looking forward to waiting for 20k songs to upload on my 1.5 /s internet service. That and I have to figure out ~7k songs to skip

1,000 songs every 6 to 8 hours isn't so bad.

Tip: You don't have to upload all of them at once. You can upload it, shut down computer, turn it back on later and it will resume.

Last month it took me like 12 days to upload 80GB music to Amazon from my ****ty HP laptop on Charters 16down/2up. I didn't think my laptop would make it, I could have literally cooked eggs on it for almost 2 weeks straight!

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.
I haven't seen any music players that claim they can do this. I'm not even sure if it's possible, but can any non stock music players be configured to access uploaded Google Music files? I find the stock Google Music app to be a little limited.

Thanks! That's a great find. Glad to see that somebody is working on this.
Amaze music player will not play full mp3?
OK all; I’ve had this issue with both of my phones (one went swimming). It didn’t bother me so much before as I had not yet did the full merge for phone only use of music. NOW that I am using my cell as mp3 player like I should, this bugs the **** out of me!!! ***ANY help or knowledge on this matter will save me from doing another destructive test! *****
What happens is when I play any mp3 file that is longer than a normal or standard track it switches to the next track without finishing the current one. Such as a 1.5 hr continuous mix, around ten minutes in it switches to the next mp3 file (whether it’s a downloaded noise for ring tone, or the beginning of another track). Sucks with earbuds in on a quiet track and then BAM-a loud track –or vice versa –totally makes me wanna throw this $500 cell!!
I have tried using the google player, the other music player, switching from cell hard drive to removable card—does not make any difference. It will play single normal tracks of course but they are not as long and does not have the time to skip ahead.
One of the main reasons I am using the phone is for the ability to skip through long tracks/mixes. I don’t know if it is an amaze issue, android issue, sd card format issue, music placement on card issue or what. I have tried many things and am willing to do whatever it takes if someone knows a fix. A diff music program/root? I have a stock cell now.
It will happen when I am using headphones or plugged into car audio .
I sure hope someone has come across this ! Thanks in advance for any response!
Anyone? I mean, have any of you tried to play an eBook mp3? Maybe a school lecture? A long DJ mix? ----and have it play all the way through? Like past 10 minutes?
Maybe you have shake to shuffle enabled.. otherwise my long EDC mixes play just fine I think
Just for you I played a 1hr+ MP3 on a 32Gb class 10 card,
27 mins in, playing fine. Try copying your tracks to your internal memory or re-converting them from CD?

Thank you sooooooo much for a reply! And EDC type muze is exactly what I am talking about! I tried it again w/ a long mix and at 10 min 26 sec every time BAM-skips to nxt track or sound. I have headphones plugged in and cell is still on desk (no movement) so no shaky. Where do you have your files? on an sd card or phone memory? Are they listed in folders? Any details will help !!!! If yours is working then mine should!!! aaaaaaarrrgh!

THANKS FOR TESTING FOR ME!!! yeah mine again --10min 27 sec switches? I too have a 32gb card. i have played them on the cell mem and sd card with same response. The tracks that i am referring to are actually not on a disc but only a file so cannot re-convert. They play as they shld everywhere but on cell. I dont know if there is a time out feature/limit? But i have not found one. I have taken them out of folders and put just on the drive main page to see if there is a change ( at s/o request) but there is no diff. Where do you store you mp3 files and how if I may ask? THANKS AGAIN for your time!!!!! This is so frustrating to me for an otherwise very pleasant phone!

THANKS! I shall DL that app right now. One more question...where are your music files located on your SD card? Are they in a folder? If so what do you have it labeled as? (dont know if that makes any difference). Or are the mp3 files just "ON" the cards "main menu" screen that comes up when you access the SD card, and not in a folder? Thanks again for your time and response!

Ohhhhhhhhh laaaaaaaaaawd
OHHHHHHHHH MY LAAAAAAAAAAWD HAVE MERCY ON ME !!! I couldn't, nay.......shouldn't just simply bow out of my thread with my tail b/t my legs--without an explanation. It was some sort of corrupted mp3 files! 3 of them. All from the same source. They played fine everywhere but the Amaze. I played others that were from a diff source and they will play through no problem. So I went back to the files and monitored as well as listen closely and there is a slight hiccup at the 10:26 time, which in effect would trigger something in the Amaze with 3 diff music players, to skip forward. But does not affect playing on a PC or CD.
It was fueled by the emotion I had towards these mixes and I HAD to have them and hear them!! I should have tried others more effectively.
Thank you two for your help, even though it was me at fault on this end.
On a positive note this has inspired me to go ahead and root my Amaze. This will be my first root. There are some awesome ROMS out there, now...I just have to pick one.
Thanks again for your time and response's, all is well with the Amaze.

check out ringtone maker from play store. take sound files on your phone and edit them as you please.
Zedge also offers thousands.
Just serach the market for any app that you can download music from and also there are apps that will allow you to crop songs to make your own ringtones. Or search the web for them as well.
What ever happened to the days of normal ringtones and notification beeps? I want my phone to sound like a normal phone and I have to jump through hoops to get it. Smh

I found the old phones with that bell ring annoying. Though I use Archer's ringtone so I guess mine isn't any better.
Is there anyway to play local files on Apple Music or put them in a file folder. Thanks
I don't know If I'm on the right thread, but I think it's not necessary to open another one.
I'm really enjoying Apple Music since it's stops the beta test. I'm only missing an application or a method to scrobble my songs to Last.Fm.
Anyone knows some?

Well it's August 2017 and nothing is still available?? I thought that they would be more Apple Music Android users. Bummer is that I just got 6 months free subscription with EE here in the UK. But I am unlikely to use it cause I am an avid Last.FM user. Any help would be appreciated!

Nothing yet, I've tried a lot of things. I'm still using Apple Music and I'm scrobbling my songs manually using this site (it's unlimited) https://ows.elamperti.com/
It's annoying to do it, I know, but it's the only way I've found to not give up Apple Music or Last.Fm
