That being taken care of, most of you on this board know how much I love music and when I saw this posted on xda's news, I had to grab it and share it ASAP. Summed up, we have a storage issue without and external sdcard. This app allows all your music stored on Google Music to be mounted on a virtual hard drive on your sdcard. This allows a number of popular players to play all your music stored on the cloud as if its on your internal memory. I now have my N7 library full of over 5000 songs with Beats, DSPManager v2, and N7's EQ working in perfect harmony!!!
Just use the help tab within the app to get the settings right for whatever player you're going to be using. I'd donate to this guy right now if I could.

I'm not sure if it will work with stock music app. If there's a setting in there to tell it where to look for music and to force a refresh of the library, it might. I am sure that it does stream from Google Play, though. It just sets up a database the local player can read on a virtual hard drive. The music still comes from the cloud (Google Play), so you'll use up your 2gigs quickly streaming.
This made me think of the potential of this app. Once he gets the bugs squashed, I bet he can make it so you create say a "Music" folder on your Dropbox, Box, GDrive account and upload your music in there. He can make it read those files and create a database as well. This app has HUGE potential.

Speaking of HTC devices, do not use GMusicFS with HTC device until I have found a fix for the slow scan issue.
This issue can make your Google Music daily quota go over limit, which will makes streaming impossible from any client until the quota is resetted (in less than 24h since it is a daily quota).
I have added this warning in the first post of this topic.

yea i only have 1318 songs in my google music library and the first run through, it took 2hours to scan and got stuck on 80% ... then again on 5% then again on 67% ... all that scanning and requesting/accessing data from the google server has limited me out for the day.
according to websites :http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/21/have-your-reached-a-streaming-limit-in-google-music-yet/
"We have been told that there is a daily streaming limit, but that it has been set so high that the majority of users will likely never hit it. "

just letting yall know. for us with HTC devices, he has fixed the issues of the slow scanning. we did some more testing and finally got me working with a test build. i think he is going to be updating the OP with this soon
scanned all 1300+ songs in 2 minutes 14 seconds (where it took over 2 hours yesterday) this was 'htc device specific' i did see others who had slow scanning issues as well.
Thanks for the update. I'm really looking forward to using this app.

After the force crash I rebooted and music library was completely empty. I forced a scan for music within N7 and everything came back. All is good now.

So I now use my Moto Atrix as my music player like I did with my Captivate. The only problem is, is that my music player randomly stops in the middle of the song. I go back to the player to press play and the song starts over......
this is one of MANY problems that I have been having with the Atrix.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Not sure what that issue is but you might want to try another music program. I messed around with the included player for a short bit but I got winamp and I really like it so far. There's quite a few other good options out there.
Hope you're able to figure something out.

I've got the same problem.But one thing I am sure is that when you use task manager to kill background program,don't kill those you are not familiar with.I tried several times to find out what's impacting the music player,but finally,it turns out to be obscure.I mean when I erase everything from the kill list,music wont stop in sleep mode,but I cannot prescisely tell who are they.It seems that several programs together work on it.Most suspect those whoes string having 'media' in them.

Some people just react and blame instead of trying to find the solution.
I went through that once due to a task killer. I ignored the music app from the task killer, but eventually realized the task killer was not needed!

I now blame the Auto Kill ---- I don't have the Music app in the Auto Kill and I thought that the phone was acting dumb, so I guess the Auto Kill was being a little b*tch
Don't know if this is a fix for everyone but I was having the same problem. I removed the gallery app from the auto-kill list and it fixed the issue. I tested it several times by adding and removing the gallery app to and from the auto-kill list. Every time it was on the list, the music would cut out after sleep. Every time I removed it, everythnig functioned mormally.
ok i did my own tests today adding programs to auto-kill list and playing back audio in between. the playback issue only appears when the screen go dark . i focused first on apps that in my opinion had nothing to do with media and after all this time consuming process i found that adding certain programs creating the problem . here is the DO NOT list and hope this work for all of ya
1) gallery
2) purchased media*
3) music
* im sure this folder was created after sync with my itunes . i used motorola media link app ( free download from motorola site) which work like charm on my mac pro adding exactly that i checked. keep in mind that your case could be different depending on type of sync or adding media method so its up to you finding the correct folder. now if you sync via the mentioned moto app you maybe having other folders on list like podcasts or whatever you decided add to your phone storage . i cant confirm this because only folder i synced was purchased media . post your findings... peace!
why are you guys even bothering auto killing apps? thats a big no-no
+1 auto-kill = BAD JUJU
If your going to use a TaskManager, use it only to manually stop rogue processes or apps. Never let it run on its own.
I used OSMonitor to kill off apps as needed. There's tons out there, but only use one that doesn't run automatically.
Dude, seriously, are you 12 or something?
Grow up man!!

Agreed... I'm not sure why you feel the need to kill apps on a phone with a gig of RAM. The only thing it does is kills your battery when you have apps that continually try to restart, then the task killer kills them.
After running my phone without a reboot since Monday, and NO task killing, I still have around 250MB free, and have no problems running Dungeon Defenders, etc. No lag, no anything. Mind you, I run a live wallpaper, as well.
Anyone here a part of it? I'm actually loving it right now. The fact that I don't really need to worry about sdcard space saves me. I can just stream my music to my phone since I always have an excellent wifi/4g signal. It can automatically copy your itunes/windows media/etc.. playlists and settings and this is a plus. What do you guys think?
I also love the service, but the app itself could use some work. it is a bit wonky.
Biggest pain was getting my 50gb music collection uploaded. Glaring issue is that I need to organize my music better.
Yeah I have It, but I think the app needs an overhaul.

I have been on Google Music Beta for about 2 months. The only problem is that it would not sync my iTunes acct. I contacted Google and they asked me to send the crash log (don't know why I didn't just send that with the initial email) but they have not yet gotten back to me. I have just about given up on Google Support as I have sent them 4 emails in the last month. It would be perfect if I could get this to work on the E3D.
I had the same issue but when I cleared data it began to work flawlessly.

I've been using it as well, but noticed that the Music Manager can be quite finicky with the uploads. There's definitely been many songs that haven't uploaded for no apparent reason.
also, i wish we could upload lossless (flac) and not have it converted to mp3.
other than that, i've been pretty happy with it.

Other than that its great.
it's nice and it's growing on me, but here are my quirks
You aren't able to download your music. As far as I know this can only be done on your phone. It's nice that it's in the 'cloud'; however, I still need to maintain a copy on my computer if I need to transfer it to some other device or media that doesn't have the ability to connect to GMusic.
Better online sound quality. Over the phone it seems to sound much better than through a web browser on my pc.

Sup guys, quick question, does anyone have Google music up and running completely on R.G. 2.1 or Virtuous Unity Sense ? I have the music manager set up on my laptop, I downloaded the app from the market,but when I go to Menu/settings/Sync, there is no option to sync music or is this an option at all ? I hope that I'm posting this in the right forum, thanks in advance for your help....
Thing I hate is sometimes for no reason the music manager will give me errors for music i'm trying to upload. Then a few days later I look at it when im about to upload something else and all of the errors that were there are gone and the songs have actually downloaded. That and the fact that sometimes it duplicates music.
Does anyone know where I can find the latest version of Music Junk? Mine just keeps saying "Network Error" and all the searches I have done are really old posts. Can someone help me please???
Looks like it might be gone for good since the Facebook and Twitter page has been pulled....
I've been wondering the same, but I guess it really is finally gone for good... which blows because it was the best app for downloading music, hands down.
After posting my last, I installed Music Junk 4.3 on my phone again and opened it immediately to try it out again. I searched for music and it actually worked. I downloaded a couple of songs and everything, but then it stopped working after trying another search. Not sure what this means, but hopefully something positive...
Can you post a link for 4.3? I couldn't find it anywhere. I found other versions, but not that one. Pretty Please?
I have this problem with 4.3 I also tried to uninstall & reinstall. I tried 4.2 as well with no luck. This is typical of them when they change versions, but I haven't seen a 4.4 version out there...

I did last night, randomly... decided to install it again and try it. The first search worked and I was able to download several songs. After that, no such luck. I've been getting network error ever since.
I remember long time back (HTC hero days) music junk used to have some files, that used to pull data from these music websites, that used to get outdated. hence, the new versions would have the new files and we would not get the network errors...
If we can get a developer to look into some recent music junk versions and look into the changes made, we might be able to get it working again.

I think it's a done deal, guys. Anytime the servers went offline & we waited on a new version,I was still able to download on mj ver3.0.that is the only version that would work all the time even when the newer current ones would come network error. Needless to say, 3 isn't working anymore.
No way 4.3 was working for me this month now i get network error why i love this app. Any one know if there is an update like 4.4 or am alternative app out there?
I'm using v 3.0.4, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The trick is i have to press search a few times, i get the "network error'' the first tries but eventually it loads the search page. I get the error far more times when im using the network than through wi fi. But once it goes through i click on the song and downloads on the first try.
I used to use Podkicker (free) and might again. I don't like that it saves files in a proprietary format though. Also, it didn't find some podcasts it should have, or rather it found them but for some reason couldn't do anything to load/play them.
What podcast apps do you guys like? Are there any that use mp3 files when you download the podcast?

BeyondPod for me. It downloads everything in original format, and the pro version can be set up with schedules and automatic syncing. The free version works fine (scheduled syncs and other pro features), and has a pro trial option.

Trying this one out. I like that this one saves as mp3. :good:
Also, I got a pop up that this is going to be on sale from 11/23- I think the 27th for $1.99, I think I saw that the regular price was $6.99 so I'll probably pay for pro at the sale price.

I use BeyondPod and I love it.
It purchased the pro upgrade about a year ago. There are a lot of options to customize as you need it. It is a pain to change the download location though. As stated earlier, it downloads the podcasts in their original format. I actually switched to BeyondPod when one of my podcasts that requires a username/password wouldn't work on the podcast apps I tried, and it worked on BeyondPod.
It does support podcast playback at different speeds, but does it through a third-party app called Presto ($4.99). The 5 bucks isn't worth it to me to give it a shot, so I don't know how well it works.
PS - In the BeyondPod settings, push the menu softkey to bring up the option to get to advanced settings.
So, my gallery app is so slow that it is almost unusable. If I open it, I get a bunch of blank boxes that take forever to populate. I think it has something to do with me checking 'sync picasa', 'sync facebook', etc. options when I setup the phone. Can somebody tell me how to unsync these galleries? I went to the Facebook account settings and unchecked sync pictures, but I still have a bunch of albums and it's crazy slow.
Any ideas?
the picasa sync option is in your google account section of the menu.

Yeah, I already ended up unchecking the sync pictures boxes for Facebook and for Picasa. But the albums are still there in gallery. Maybe I should clear data for gallery or something?
the blank boxes... do they every populate?

After waiting a while, and they have the picasa and facebook icons. So it's still pulling my galleries off the web, even though it is no longer synced. I also wiped the gallery app data, and they are still there. I think that is why the app is so freaking slow for me.
you could try uninstalling facebook and try running a 3rd party facebook app. I personally can't stand the stock facebook app for crap like this and the way its always running.
as far as picasa, if you use it, i'm not sure what else could be done. if you dont't use it, you can remove a lot of its functions via the pc. and that would clear that up.
I have a tip for you OP.
Turn off Wifi then try using your Gallery.
Not really a solution for the stock gallery but I've used Quickpic for as long as I can remember and it's always fast, reliable, and no sync issues to deal with. Currently I use that for normal picture management and use the stock gallery in the rare instance I need Picasa or Facebook photos synced.
Yeah I have found I have this issue if I am connected to wifi at my house.. I know the reason too. Looks like the phone is trying to connect to my networks dlna server (plex) which for whatever reason it is unable to do.. I just removed allshare and the problem is gone.. you can either rename the three or so files in your app dir (if you have root) or you can install a ROM as most of them give you an option to not install allshare.

I'm sure you've heard this plenty, but great to see you on here kejar31! I've used your roms on at least 4 or 5 phones over the last couple years. Glad you are enjoying some downtime these days .

Yep I was just under the assumption that the OP is on stock firmware.
