Is there perhaps a good app either in or outside of the market? Perhaps a link where I can download real mp3 songs not stupid ringtones or short versions of new songs? An app I use to use is not in development anymore or supported. Would really appreciate it.
Amazon MP3. Or the Google Play Store.

If you want to download the full song, you have to pay for it. Like sitlet said:

Or you can try a music app like Grooveshark or Songza.
I'm waiting for a service that gives me a lossless version of the damn song.
uSound (Play Store)
PEP! mp3 downloader (XDA)

I'm slightly annoyed by this. Does anyone know if there is a way to upload music we download to Google music from our tablets or if there is an android music manager app in the works? I'm pretty sure my tablet is going to be my primary device and I'd like for it to be nearly as versatile as my laptop but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen anytime soon.
There isn't, no. Whether one is in the works I do not know. I wouldn't be terribly surprised though to see a way to manually add tracks in later updates to Music Beta. What's your use-case for having a music manager app on your tablet?
The work around i found get a wifi sync app and use to send the music to your pc that you want up loaded to google music

It doesn't have to be music manager per se, but the ability to upload from mobile devices is necessary if we have the ability to purchase from them. This weekend I bought 3 albums that are only only my tab and I should be able to move them to the cloud via the Google Music app, at a minimum.

I fear that the content you purchased will not even be able to be uploaded to Google Music Beta due to the DRM. Its my understanding that any music files with embedded DRM cannot be uploaded to the GMb service.

Not every song purchased hasd DRM. Amazon for example sells DRM free songs that I would like to upload to google music from my tablet.

Not to mention all of the songs I plan on downloading using tTorrent
I just wish they would integrate it into music beta soon. I'd love to be able to download music to my phone or tablet, upload it, and then remove it from my internal storage
I've downloaded a few albums from Google Music. Would like to play them with the built-in Music app, but Music doesn't see any of my downloaded music.
Root explorer showed me the music downloaded from Google Music was in :
\sdcard\Android\data\com.google.android.music\cache\music
I tried copying the music folder over to the external card sdcard2 (where I'd really LIKE to store my music), but the Music app still doesn't find it.
Most surprisingly, I can't find a setting for either Google Music or Music to specify a download or Music folder.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
If you purchased the music from google music the music isn't actually on your device, it is in the cloud on google music servers. Only way to get stock htc music player to see that music is to download the music from google music and put it directly on your device.
Hope that helps.

Yes.... that's what I'm trying to do. I downloaded Google Music from the cloud by "making music available offline", but the stock htc music player won't see it
Not true, R2does the developer from the dinc forum has a paid app that allows you to do it. Never tried it myself, but heard good things about it. There is also a Google music importer on the market that does the same thing. You have to download it as offline library, but other music apps will be able to play it.

Thanks, found Google Music Importer on the market. I'll give it a try.
I love the fact that I can upload my music from my pc to my play account to stream my library to my s3. BUT i dont love the play music app, it works well. But its very basic.
Anyone know of an app that either adds features, or replaces it but can still access my play library?
thanks
Google play music app is horrible. There is something, I forget the name, that will download GP music to device so you can use a real player -- Neutron, Poweramp, etc.

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.

Great Idea thanks for sharing

The app keeps barking that it could not find a registered device. How on earth do i register the google music app on my android phone. It is installed and running on my phone. So, i assume it is registered, but bubbleupnp thinks my phone is not a registered device for this app. It was the main reason i paid for this app.
Could anyone offer a tip?

Try to switch to YouTube Music while you can because google music will shut down anytime now.

I don't think so unfortunately, you can read that : https://reddit.com/r/YoutubeMusic/comments/hhg308/bubble_upnp_will_it_support_ytm/
But do it anyway, it has already started, it will save your library so you don't lose all of your song

Is there a way to stream pandora, spotify, etc from my android phone to an external renderer (my hifi bluray/sacd player) with bubbleupnp? I don't want to pay for Qobuz or tidal which bubble permits. I am currently using bubble to push music files from my NAS to this bluray/sacd player (dlna). But, i have not figured out a way to stream music from free services like pandora etc from my phone to this player. I use pandora, google play music, etc to find new music.
Any tip you offer is much appreciated.

Well idk which protocol YT music support but you can cast music to other devices like google homes, Chromecast, but that's it. Hope the way you've found will keep working
