Anyone know of a google play music app alternative?

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.

[Q] Google Play Music All Access Music Downloading Question

Okay, so I purchased a great deal of songs from Google Play All Access and would like to play them on other media players without the need of buying GmusicFS as it is still buggy. Is there anything I can do so that I may enjoy the music I bought and not play them on a low quality player like Google Play Music app? Or am I just TOO hopeful?

[Q] Play Music --> HTC Music App

Hi all. Quick question:
I have google play all access, and I have stored the music locally on my device. I was wondering if there is a way to get all of my google play music files to play through the HTC Music app. Reason being, I want to install the Harmon-Kardon edition mod, but looks like the most benefit comes from using the HTC Music app. Does anyone know how I might go about sourcing all the google play files onto the HTC Music app?
Stock rooted, S-OFF, with latest OTA
Thanks!

The Harmon Kardon mod is really about enhancing compressed music, though it also supports 192khz via flac's, but you are asking about Play Music, which is compressed, even at high quality. The bottom line is that the mod works on all music apps, from Spotify, to Google Play Music exactly the same as it does for the HTC Music app. Technically, you can play the G Play music mp3's on any player, if you are rooted. You just need to move them to another folder. The down side is that the G Play app names all of the songs numerically, like 7483.mp3, so in the end, you are better off just using whatever music app you normally use.
another thing you can do is go into your default.xml file and edit the line pertaining to music channel (turning it on the rebooting, making sure the change has been saved). This allows me to play my playlists off Google music with the HTC player features, giving me access to the visualizer, lyrics (when applicable) etc, and the HK mod icons are active
Soon as I start a song, I get a notification that Music Channel is available, I click the notification and there it is

Remote Control Spotify instead off Google Play Music

Hey guys,
my problem is about the KTM App "MY RIDE CONNECT" of the playstore. With the app you can manage your music in google play music via your motocycle.

Thank you!

It's always all possible.
In your case you'ld have to
Decompile the app
Rewrite app's program code
Recompile the app
Sign the recompiled app
I already tried it but I can't really find the code in which the app communicates with google play music. Do you know where I have to search for it?
I only found a line in which it checks whether com.google.play.music is installed or not. Changing it to com.spotify.music obviously didn't change a thing.
So do you know where the communication normally happens with Google Play Music?
Thank you
