[Q] Google Music Syncing Problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have some issues with the GMusic app. It won't sync the id3-tags and playlists I create/change on the desktop version...
E.g., I recently edited the genres of some albums, and it applied just fine on the pc, but it won't carry over to my nexus 4.
Same goes for playlists, especially the "like" list. I liked a bunch of songs on my cellphone, but they don't show up in my browser (and the other way round, too)
I deleted the app data, reinstalled GMusic, rebooted the phone, wiped the cache, refreshed music manually and installed the origonal from the play store (I had a transparent widget mod version so far), all that didn't help.
Does anyone have an idea?

[Q] How to Sync Music & Playlists to Tab??

Just got my tab and am loving it, but having big problems getting mp3s onto the Tab. My music library is stored through MediaMonkey, and I've never had any problems using MM to sync my music and playlists to various devices.
When I try to sync to the SGT, I get weird results. Sometimes not all the files and playlists are copied over; sometimes MM just hangs forever on "Synchronizing" after copying all of the files; sometimes the files make it to the Tab, but the Music player won't recognize the artists or albums. I don't know what the problem is. Does anyone have any experience with this problem and/or a solution?
I've cleared all the caches and data for all of the media-related apps, restarted, still no solid results.
Thanks everyone for the help!
I use winamp which syncs wirelessly but does hang now and then but that could be my hardware. Havent tried connectimng it via usb.
I used Kies to sync some of my playlists to my GT, worked great over wifi. But I also uploaded most of music collection to Google Music and Amazon Cloud Player, so I really have access to it anywhere I have internet on my cell phone. Just sync'd my top rated playlist from iTunes to GT to save space.

[Q] songs showing up multiple times - help?

In the Google Music app my songs are showing up 3 times, same when I try to set an alarm with a song. Only the last of the 3 of any song will play. I'm unsure what I need to clear to fix this. I wiped my cache's in CWM and rebooted but it didn't change anything. They were coming up the same in PlayerPro but I did a refresh tracks in app and it fixed it. App that are giving me problems are Google Music, N7 & the stock Samsung player. So I'm assuming it's not an app issue as it does it on different ones. Any ideas what I should do here? I'm running the latest Perfection ICS rom.
Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the same problem on my skyrocket after upgrading to ics.
yeah, go into settings applications find the app media storage clear the data and reboot. I'm not sure exactly how to trigger the scanner to re-scan it back into your library. But I went into Astro file manager and clicked on a song and it started the process.

[Q] Rogue Music Files

What's up XDA,
I'm running the AoCP ROM on my Note and it's been having some trouble with playing music. I had all my music on a 32g sd card that came from my old phone. I never had the phone with the stock rom so I have no idea if this is just ROM related. The stock music app kinda sucked at playing the music, it kept crashing. Uninstalled that, downloaded google music, and it didn't crash as much but I would skip to the next song and it just wouldn't play. Uninstalled google music, downloaded winamp, and got the same results as with google music. So I removed the SD card to format it and put the music on again. I think that maybe the two phones store and find the music differently. But I formatted the SD and then even removed it. But, when I went to go look google music, all the songs we're "still there." They weren't really there, it wouldn't play any of them... The phone somehow stored all the album artwork, artists, song names, all that stuff. And yes I tried clearing the app data and cache and even uninstalled and reinstalled. All the music apps still show that the songs, or at least what's left of them, still exist on the device. I've searched through a ton of folders to try and find where that data might have been stored so I could delete but my searches have been unsuccessful. I have everything backed up on my computer, but I'm sure if I clear the phone data and then just restore from what's on the computer, the problem will still be hidden somewhere in the files on my computer. Any help with this guys?? or has anyone else had a similar problem?? I've tried lurking through the AoCP rom thread but haven't found anything like this... Doesn't help that the search is down right now.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
You have to wipe media stotage under all apps.

Google Music Manager Not Fully Synced

Hello,
Not sure if this is a proper question for here. I used Google Music Manager to sync my iTunes music from my computer to my GS4. IT seemed to be working great (16,000+ songs) but recently I realized I'm missing some songs. I have several playlists and they are not fully synced. For example I have a playlist with 16 songs and only 10 songs are in the playlist on my GS4. To make things even more odd, if I log into Google play Music on the website, that same playlist shows only 9 songs?!?!
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I love the aspect of this app but not sure why it won't fully work. I have gone thru all settings and hit refresh on all devices with no luck.

Google Music can't delete albums?

How do I go about deleting albums from my Google Play Music account using the mobile app? I can delete individual songs but not albums or artists. On the full website I can delete songs, albums, and artists but not on mobile, only songs. I thought Google updated the app a while ago to include the delete function but I seem to be completely missing it?
I have the same issue. I have 6 albums with a few songs each that I can get rid of. I tried deleting the album and it shows back up after about 10 minutes. I tried deleting the songs and they show back up. They are not in the directory that I sync with.
When I try to play any of these songs I get "Couldn't play song. Skipped adead.
That is not really my issue, my issue is that i do not even have the option in any of the over flow menus to delete albums or artists, only when i use the overflow button on the songs.

Just delete google play music app's cache, clear media storage app's data and finally restart the device.
First launch after this will give you an empty library, just wait a few minutes and you'll get everything reloaded again, but now without the deleted songs/albums.
taz633's advice worked for me.
Taz633's advice worked for me. Thank you!
After deleting the song from the music manager app on my desktop, I cleared the cache on the app on my iPhone, closed it and when I reopened it I clicked "refresh library". The artist was gone.
I did the same online too. I went to settings, then clicked Refresh Library. When I went back to My Library, the artist was gone.
