If you don't have the Google music tab Clearing Data for the Market did the trick for me

Any way to play music downloaded by google music in a different music player?

Click menu in Google music and find make available offline. Check the box for any of the music you want to have on the phone as files and when finished selecting the music, hot the check Mark on the left bottom corner and it will start downloading songs from you account.
Edit: never mind what I said above. It will download the music but the way it saves the files, you can't open in other programs. Probably have to do it through a computer.

I haven't gotten my Rezound yet (still waffling between in and the Nexus)
However, on my DX, Gmusic stores the downloaded/cached files in
/sdcard/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music.
there is a .nomedia file in that directory which keeps the 'media server' from searching that directory for music. If you remove that file, then other apps should see the files.
However, they have no metadata and are simply named with a sequential number.
end result: you could play the music with another app, but wouldn't know what it is or have album art
I've been having trouble editing the play lists, is there a soft ware like itunes on computer which you can create and edit play list easily?
One thing that bothers me about the music player on this phone is that it shows every track in the SD, including the tracks in the game Real Racing 2, which I installed in the SD. Is there anyway to let the player play the songs only in the Music folder?
I also find that there were few duplicate songs in song list, even i just put in one of it.
Open file explorer and add a . (dot) at the beginning.
This works for all media like pictures etc.
Example:
Music
What you do is >
.Music

thanks, did mean add a dot before mp3 files or before folder name?
Folder name
Sorry, forgot to say that
Send from the best device ever.
Go to the folder with songs you don't need and create a file named .nomedia (with a dot, it's important). Then this folder and everything inside it will not show up in the music player/ gallery.

I had this problem with my S2 as well; I connect my phone with usb debugging checked and copy paste all my music from the music folder on my PC to the music folder on my SD card.
I keep getting the error, " sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file"
Is there anyway to fix this or am I doing something wrong? The music is in mp3 format.
Can somebody please help me out? Thanks
Usb Debugging has nothing to do with normal file transfer.
What type of file extension are you trying to copy? Normal mp3 or some less common and/or proprietary format such as aac, flac, wma, ...

they are all MP3 format
Try copying your files to the phone throug Airdroid or another file transfer app.
Alternatively if you're rooted, you can use the Easy UMS app to mount your external sdcard on the computer.

I am rooted, where would I find the easy ums app? For now i will try using airdroid
So i copied and pasted my music to the sd card. Now when i try to play files, some work and some still give the same error message. Also when I click on a song, it automatically starts shuffling through the list but only stays on each song for a second. Im stumped!
I tried Isyncr and Isyncr wifi, both did not work. It shows that it has transferred 500 files but when I go to the music, theres only about 25 files there. The Isyncr process took about 25 minutes and it showed every song that was copied. But when i looked in the music and syncr folder, there were only about 25 songs, I dont understand why the rest were not copied????
It's to do with the media scanner not running. Download rescan media from market and run it and then give it a minute and try going back to music again and they should work. I don't know if there is a bug in the firmware but it's annoying.

Yes, I have exactly the same problems for a few of my mp3 files.
I maybe due to some permission issue with the files? Strangely, I can play
all the problematic mp3s directly from the file explorer but not from the player
or any other media players including winamp, real, BS Player etc.
Anyone got a solution for this?
Do the mp3 files have the same properties regarding bitrate...maybe it cannot play files with 320kbps or more or files vith VBR(varibile bit rate)

Well, no, they are all either 128k or 192k.
I also converted some flv files to mp3 with Real converter, the player also cannot play these converted mp3.
Hey, I have the CM7 Beta 2 installed on my X2 and I'm just wondering what is the best way to sync music from my computer to my phone. I prefer a way that I can sync my music up with itunes if that is at all possible; i got a big sd card and i want to make use of it!
Thanks

I too am on CM7 and put all my iTunes music on my X2. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to make your phone and iTunes sync directly with each other. What I do is I make a folder on my desktop and name it "Music", then I highlight all my songs in iTunes and drag and drop them into that folder on my desktop. I then plug in my phone and just copy that entire "Music" folder onto my phone's sd card using the simple drag and drop method. After that usually whatever music app you have can find the folder easily.

I have had issues transferring music to my phone as well. I've used windows media player, drag and drop and dropbox. Still won't play the music. It says it doesn't support this type of media. It seems it will only play mp3 files and not wma. Also I lose all of my album info and the songs show up as filenames and don't display the artist.

Yea very few media apps will play .wma files.
Give PowerAmp a shot, I think that will work. I know there is a paid version, not sure of there's a free version though.
I have downloaded two three songs on my mobile through chrome, then through ES file explorer, i moved those songs to /sdcard/Music/ where rest of my mp3s are.. the problem is that these new songs are not shown in the Music app.. months ago, I had copied songs from my pc to my phone /sdcard/Music/ through ES file explorer.. and they showed up fine..
can anyone help me out with this?
my phone is rooted
ICS 4.0.4

Never lose interest in Android. Try clearing data and cache of the music app.
still.. lost a bit

yeah i tried it all, but clearing cache didnt work..
i read somewhere that I should fix the permissions through the recovery, but this caused another issue, there is an issue with CWM recovery, on fixing permissions it messes with the permissions of contacts pictures, hence the contact picture wont show up in messages.. so after trying fixing permissions, i got another issue at my disposal, although I did found a solution and fixed the contact picture issue.. but the Music library problem still remained..
I also read that there is a file .nomedia which causes this problem, but removing it didnt do any good either
meanwhile i found twrp released for desire x, and replaced CWM with twrp 2.5(official one, not Yasir's 2.4.3, i didnt know the difference so i just went with the latest one).. and then I fixed the permissions, and I also factory reset my phone.. which erased all of the data, then I copied things back and it all worked fine..
dont know if the factory reset fixed the issue or fixing the permission, as i went to sleep inbetween this whole mess to clear my mind (may be this made it work )

na man.. i thought its fixed as after going through what i have stated above, there appeared songs in the music library while i was actually copying songs, so i thought its fine now.. but today when i opened the music app, i found its showing almost half of the songs.. there are about 103 songs, its showing just something around 65..
i found one more thing, that when i open the Music folder in ES File Explorer, then some song icons contain there album art, and these are the only songs which are shown in music app.. there are 7 albums in the Music folder(means seven albums containing around 13 songs each) and 6 songs directly in Music folder.. in Music app, i get 5 albums, in one album there is only 7 songs shown in Music app while there are 14 or 15.. I opened this album on ES file explorer and found that there are only seven songs in that album with album art, this is when i found this.. this is pretty strange, can someone help me with this?
Perhaps unsupported Format, try Manually adding the Media if possible in your music Player (think you can in poweramp)

Nope it isnt unsupported format..

i can play all the media files in my phone through ES File explorer Media player, and also by Music app (if i navigate to the music file by my file manager and then play it, though by this method it plays as a popup, you cant multitask, its like a preview thing, plays as long as you dont move away from the popup).. but it just dont show up in Music App, because of which i cant listen to half of my music while doing some other work, alternative is to use ES Media Player, but why the hell does Android Native Music App is sucking so bad? if I am supposed to select best app for myself then why it wont let me delete system apps? (after deleting them they get back after restart)

By tagged music, he meant music with right set of id3 tags (in our case, at least name of song), to check if you have tagged music... is player showing name of song, author, album name, or it is "untitled track XYZ"? If it is untitled track, then tag it ffs (untagged music should be illegal), good tool to tag music quickly a precisely is program called musicbrainz picard, just download it somewhere. try manualy search tags in the files that are not showed up in music player...
Every single song is properly tagged

what music player are you using, have you tried turn it off and on again, clear music players cache and then rescan for music?
using default HTC MUSIC APP

clearing data by going to app settings through app manager solved the issue, i think.. i did this then opened the music app, no songs in its library, then waited for a while just to make sure it isnt searching, and it didnt show any song.. then i opened ES File Explorer went to Music library and noticed that now more songs have album arts, infact noticed some songs getting updated by album art.. then went to music app again and thank god.. all songs are being displayed now..
