I don't really know where to ask. This is NOT device specific. I repeat, NOT device specific. I am having the same problem in the Google Music app on both my Revue GoogleTV and my Samsung Galaxy S3.
I uploaded Pink Floyd's The Wall to my Music Library with the Music Manager. In the actual website it shows that the songs are in the right order, if I go to edit song info they are all numbered 1-26.
However, when I go to listen to this album (and this album alone :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: ) with any of the apps, all the songs are in the wrong order. Shuffle is not on, and no other album does this. I've tried wiping the data, tried deleting The Wall from the Google Music website and reuploading it. Nothing is working.
And Google killed their support forums, so there's not really a place to go ask. And if there is, can somebody direct me to it?
I don't know what the problem is.
I just want to listen to The Wall in the right order. =(

Hey i have only just purchased my Galaxy10 tablet, i have put a few songs on it but it still says in the 'music player' that there are 0 songs. I am able to listen to these songs individually in 'my files' but i cannot open anything else up (e.g. i cant listen to music while working on polaris office).
Is there something im missing that will easily fix this? or is it a problem with all the galaxy tabs.
Thanks, Nic.
I mentioned thi in your other post, but make sure the music is placed in where the player looks for music. I had this issue with different players looking in different folders and not showing ones the other players would. There's another suggestion in the other post, but I forget what it was. something about clearing the cache in settings/apps/music player you're using. I think.

thanks for the reply, i have tried moving my files around, still no luck. I also read the other suggestion on my other post and i cleared the cache/data of the music player and still didnt make a difference. ill continue trying to fix it though, and hopefully will eventually get it .
Thanks Heaps for putting me that one step closer, Nic.
Post what music player you're using. That will help too.

im using the one that came with it, which is 'Music Player'. I also tried using 'Winamp' but still had no success, if you know of any better apps to use for this it would be greatly appreciated.
any one have any other suggestions on what i could do to fix this problem??
It would be helpful to know where the files are located and what format they are.
Also try moving your music to /sdcard/Music.
hey, umm all my music is in .mp3 format. and the music is in 'my files/music'.
would it make a difference if i used itunes to sync the music from my pc to the tablet? (at the moment i am using 'windows media player' which is up to date)
is your tab rooted? if so, try use root explorer, find the folder and make sure there is no .nomedia file in that folder.if so, delete it and try open music player back
Shouldn't matter, no. Move it to the folder I said and see what happens. Music player is probably looking for them to be in that folder.
ssss
hey, I had the same issue. the fix is simple, go to apps--> Music player and you'll find you music there. if you open the music player in the tray on the bottom of the tablet you wont find your music.
Hey guys, i've searched this forum as well as google for this answer, but i haven't found a solution. I finally got around to setting up my Google Music account and as soon as i connected it to my phone, i started seeing these false listings in my stock player. Basically, there are doubles of every song and album, except they don't play. So now when i kick off an album, it'll play fine until it hits one of these "ghosts" then stops and won't advance again until i prompt it.
My question is, can i restrict Google Music content to the GM app only and not have it appear in my stock player?

Seems like spam and that app in the market doesn't look very impressive. Seems under-featured as well. What exactly did that have to do with Google Music integration?
What I did.
Use [Your choice of apps that can freeze / delete system apps] and freeze / delete the stock music player. IMO Google music does everything it does and more.

That's not a bad idea. Perhaps i need to give GM another look.
I really don't think you will be disappointed, I have a large collection on my home pc, and it's nice to be able to pull from pc, to note from anywhere. plus you can upload your collection to the cloud and access it anywhere, I will get free music from the amazon music market, save to pc, then re-upload to Google, quick way to get alot of free, completely legal music, quick. Not to mention Google Music also has some decent freebies at times too.

Google music is a gem that doesn't get enough credit.
Hi,
If using the default music player I get my car to display the song name, whenever I switch to another player (PlayerPro, Pandora, Spotify) for some reason it won't show the song that is playing.
When I used my iPhone 4S it displayed song names from all apps (Spotify, pandora etc.) The weird thing is that the stock app does send out the song name to my LCD, but other apps won't...
Unfortunately I can't use USB either with the S3 (my car doesn't seem to want to support it, even with the mass storage mod).
Did anyone encounter this and found a solution maybe?
Thanks!

I think it is an issue with the apps. I went to the PowerAmp forums and people were asking the developer to add this with an upcoming update.

Thought so. Weird that Spotify on the iPhone sends all the info but not on Android (same for every other media app)...
Hope they will add this soon...
I have no idea what is happening here. I bought The Wall by Pink Floyd, I uploaded it to my Music with the manager. It plays in things like Spotify or even the Play Music website in the right order. The song data has all the songs properly numbered. I've tried deleting and reuploading. For some reason on my phone and my TV in the app it plays/shows the songs in the wrong order. Just on apps, on multiple devices, but the website lists them correctly.
I NEED The Wall to play in the right order, I keep almost getting into wrecks on my way to work because of this. Lol.
Help. I tried to go onto the Google Play forums but oh snap they shut those down, dumb.
I've started using Google Play Music as my media player. But when I buy something and "keep it on device" I can't find where its downloaded too. I've searched all through my phone. Sometimes I use the HTC music player nut I can't access anything I've bought from the Play store until I download it to my computer and copy it to my phones music folder. It's pretty frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem? Or know another work around? Thanks in advance

GPM does keep the tracks on your device, but not is a format that can be accessed by other music players. It caches music in /data/data/com.google.android.music/file/music as mp3's with numeric filenames like 10.mp3, 11.mp3, etc. and the indexing of track Title/Album/Artist to the cached mp3's is stored in /data/data/com.google.android.music/databases/music.db
That's just plain stupid..... I paid for the music and should be able to move it to where I want on my own device. I love Google but they do some stupid things. Such as that and not letting you merge 2 separate Google accounts. Thanks a bunch though

Yeah it's stupid. You're better off buying from Amazon.

Kinda stupid, I agree. However, if you're storing music on your phone, you might as well plug in your phone, and just copy the music over to the folders you want, which will preserve file titles/tags.
I actually like Play Music .... but this closed music management is terrible. You can not choose where your music is stored and you can't open your music with another app. As it has been said above, there is the possibility to read out the music.db. So I've written me an app, that copies my MP3 files from Play Music to the sdcard and extended them with the ID3 meta data such as title, artists, albums and coverart. Now I can play the music with every app and theoretically even share.
Of course the whole thing is only one solution for rooted phones. But it makes play music a little more comfortable.
I even found a way to save music from AllAccess, but I'm not going to publish this App Version in the foreseeable future because of legal problems.
I would also like to create help thread here in XDA, but unfortunately I must have 10 posts written , before I can create am own thread in the developer forum.
Here is a Link to to the Play Store: Unfortunately I can not post links yet. Search 'Play Music Exporter' on Google Play.
