I can't seem to figure out how to create an instant mix from a song using the android app. Is this possible?

It's possible. Just go to the "Now playing" window and press the settings icon in top right corner of the display. The first first menu item on the drop down list will allow you to create and play an instant mix based on the current song. The instant mix will now show "Playlists".
You can also go to "Songs" and press the triangle in the bottom right corner of a track and create it from there.

Thanks but I don't see the instant option anywhere. I see add to playlist but that is just a normal playlist with the album or song added to it.

That's weird. When I'm looking at the exact same screen as your screendump, I have the option just below "Add to queue". What version of Play Music are you on?

Hmm, I'm on the same version... You could try clearing app data and see if that helps.

So it looks like you can only start an instant mix with files stored on the served not the device.

So, all your songs are stored locally and have not been uploaded? That's the reason - they need to be uploaded in order for an instant mix to be created.

Makes sense. Thanks for the help

Anyone know how to stop Google Music from automatically creating Instant Mixes? I've never created one myself, yet when I go to my Google Music main page, there are several Instant Mixes that appear. I've tried looking through the settings, as well as searching online, but am unable to figure out what is causing this. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks very much.

no it doesn't. i have album art, i'm not trying to add or edit it. the problem is it doesn't change
Did you look in the Web interface to see if something got stuck?
That happened to me before. I added too big of resolution album art, and the Play Music FC'ed all the time. I had to go in and redo the album art.
Give it a shot.

[Q]app for system info

Hello!
I'm currently looking for an app that allows me to view system info, preferably as a widget, like temperatures, cpu usage, network in/out etc.
Anyone know of an app like this?

Thanks, but not what I'm looking for. I prefer a widget, cool tool was just rather annoying blocking the view of the top-bar

Search Google Play & try a bunch of free version of apps until you find one that has what you want. That's what the rest of us did/do.

How to search through music?

Does anyone know how to get the default player to search through songs when the search button is pressed? I would use another player but it wouldn't have beats. I'm on meanrom gb.

Not too familiar with that app but you can set Google search to include your music. Open up regular Google search or Google now and edit the settings with the menu. Hope that helps.

Spam in notification bar

Recently I have been getting spam ads in my notification bar I think it was from installing GNES lite but I'm not sure. also an icon appeared on my desktop that was some sort of spam. I'm curious if anyone has any tips how to isolate the source so I can get rid of it.

I would look into the settings of all the apps you've installed around the time you first noticed it. Other than that, it might be a process of elimination. How about checking the play store page for the apps too? I'm sure other ppl will comment on that in the reviews.

Found it. It was superN64 by superN64 games

Glad you found it already. I thought I'd leave a little tip here in case you didn't know and need it in the future. If you long press on a notification an "App Info" button will come up which will take you directly to the app responsible for the notification. From there you can disable notifications for that app by unchecking the "Show Notifications" box.

Get Mupen64 or N64oid. N64oid isn't in the play store, but you can find it in other places. I personally find N64oid to work better and have some better options.

Google Music Player Alternatives

So I like having my music on Google Music but I hate the Google Music app. Is there any other app that can stream my Google library?

He says Google Music in the features. By the way just the best player I've ever used. A little different but give it a shot

Seriously, thank you for this recommendation!! :good:
Takes a little getting used to, but I have to say it is really slick. And I can confirm it does work with google music.
