Alright I ever since google has update the "Music" app they make it so if you do a keep offline you can't use any other app to play the songs. They have also try to hind the music when you save it for offline. Now is there anyway to fix this? I have found the music and were is sits but its like they lock the music files some how...
I am rooted as well.
I 1st did a search for .mp3 using Root Explorer and found that they are in data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
When i am there i see the files but i am unable to play them in anything
Also the permissions for them are Owner: R/W thats it.
I have even tried to zip them up and put them on my PC to play and still not working what could it be? I just want to use Power AMP. lol :silly:
Anyone try this yet?

Hi guys,
I dont know if already mentioned,i put some songs in my sd card(internal and external) I played few songs with sammy music player and then I deleted one cd (one folder).i opened again the music player and I still can see the deleted songs.If I try to play them it says "file does not exist".The only way to remove them is by deleting inside the music player or after rebooting phone.I initially deleted songs from root explorer.Whats going wrong?also tried the poweramp with same results.Is it the deleting or adding real time?
Same issue with video player.I played an avi file,deleted and its still in videos list.Any idea what am I doing wrong?

I've deleted an album with the stock file manager and there was no problem. Hope you can solve yours.

Im guessing that when you delete something with root explorer the phone wont re-scan the media but with the stock file manager it does. I dont know if theres an option in the setting to rescan media but I know that there are apps in the market that can be used to do that. I use Extented Controls and with it you can have a media scan button in a widget.
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
Yesterday I noticed that Google's new music app had been downloaded to my Amaze. However, none of the 13gb or so of songs from my SD card were showing up in the app. Refreshing the library didn't show anything either.
It turns out that Play Music won't find any music in /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd. As soon as I copied an album to /mnt/sdcard/Music from /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/Music it showed up in Play Music. Problem is, I don't have nearly enough space on my internal memory for my music. Anyone figure out how to get it to scan ext_sd?

Well it works for me. Why do u say it goes from mnt/sdcard when u can just skip going to the /mnt and go straight to /sdard folder? But to help with you problem, the new Google Play Music only allows 20000 songs to be uploaded to it. Maybe u have more then that.
But I'm guessing in ur case it's just stupid. Try making a folder called download in ur sdcard2 or extcard (same thing ) if there isn't one, and put all ur music in that folder. That's how mine is setup up by default and Google Play recognized my music from there. Reinstall if that don't work. Good luck!

I have been having the same issue with this. I kinda figured it out today. take the music out of your music folder and have it just be on the sd card. Yes i know its ugly and makes managing stuff more of a pain in the ass, but Play music will recognize your music.
I tried this with 15+ gigs of music and for some reason it will not recognize all my songs. I don't think I'll be using this method as a permanent fix, but let me know if you have more success with it.
Tried Chadworth66's suggestion and it did not work. improperburial's suggestion actually did work, but as he said it was very ugly. I don't know of a better fix, so I think I'll pass on Google Music for the time being.
Could it be that Play Music only goes but so many levels of subfolders deep? Any way, until Google fixes this I'll continue using the (HTC) Music app on the phone. Though I may go ahead and upload my music for backup purposes. I don't really want to pay T-mobile for the privilege of playing (ie, streaming) my own music.
I'm having this problem as well. It recognized my music for a while but when I plugged it into a computer (not mine, I don't have one) to transfer music to a friend, they all disappeared from my library. They're still on the SD card, but Play Music won't list them. They're not buried or anything, they're just in a folder on the SD card titled Music.
I am getting really frustrated with trying to get to the ringtone trimmer. I have searched and found several posts around the internet on getting to it via the music app. However, I cannot get to it on my phone it seems. If I start the music app itself, it doesn't show any music files. I tried doing a search for the file but it won't find it. I can't find an option in music to scan my phone for all music files either. If I go through root explorer and play it that way, the music popup player plays the file but there is no menu or options to set it as a ringtone, let alone trim it. It also doesn't add the file to the recently played list so I can'g get to it through the music app after playing it.
This has me really frustrated and I'm about ready to throw this phone through the wall. I found the HTC user manual telling how to do it, but guess what. IT DOESN'T WORK!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?
*If your response is to use a 3rd party app, don't bother replying. I want to find out how to use the tools included with the phone.*

I think this is what you're looking for but if not I apologize...this is what worked for me.
1. Open the HTC music app and start playing a song.
2. Once on the now playing screen, select the button with 3 dots about halfway down on right hand side.
3. Select "set as ringtone" option
4. Select trim ringtone
Good luck!

Maybe that is the problem. The only music app I have is called Music, not HTC music. I am running the latest stock deoxed Rom. It might have been removed.

Sorry about any confusion I may have caused.

That is what mine is called to but I cannot get the program to find the file to play it.

If I open the music folder, I can do the same thing suggested above. Works for me but I'm not rooted. I also used quickshortcut maker (available in the market) which helps to locate the hidden HTC apps. I was able to find ringtone trimmer with this, although Im not sure where this app comes from, but it is not in my app drawer. Hope this helps.

Music app seems to find all the mp3 files, when the phone boots. I have had to clear its data, if I delete folders containing mp3s. Try restarting the phone, and see of the mp3, you're trying to trim, shows in the Music app.

That was the key, rebooting. Was finally able to see the file to play it and trim it. Thanks.

Google Music stores it's my downloaded MP3 music on the internal phone memory on my Nexus4. I don't want to use any other player, I really like how Google Music gives me the best of both worlds, with regards to having my best stuff locally, and all music in the cloud.
However sometimes I want to copy a particular Mp3 from my phone to my computer. All the files are randomly numbered xxx.mp3, so I can't see which file is what track in MP3 explorer.
Anyone know an app that can browse a system directory (on a rooted phone), and show all the Mp3 metadata and allow copying of that file?
