Hey guys,
just wondered, if theres any option to download the music out of google play music all access I put in a playlist. I mean wouldn't it be nice to hear it with some other player, so if connection struggles the music doesnt stop playing.
Yes offlinemode in mobile version is available, but can I extract them out of it, to do the same at my PC.
The App Cloudmusicimporter promises this much. But as I tried it, not one of my all access titles in the Playlists is shown and possible to download, just the ones I upped myself..

Hey guys, i've searched this forum as well as google for this answer, but i haven't found a solution. I finally got around to setting up my Google Music account and as soon as i connected it to my phone, i started seeing these false listings in my stock player. Basically, there are doubles of every song and album, except they don't play. So now when i kick off an album, it'll play fine until it hits one of these "ghosts" then stops and won't advance again until i prompt it.
My question is, can i restrict Google Music content to the GM app only and not have it appear in my stock player?

Seems like spam and that app in the market doesn't look very impressive. Seems under-featured as well. What exactly did that have to do with Google Music integration?
What I did.
Use [Your choice of apps that can freeze / delete system apps] and freeze / delete the stock music player. IMO Google music does everything it does and more.

That's not a bad idea. Perhaps i need to give GM another look.
I really don't think you will be disappointed, I have a large collection on my home pc, and it's nice to be able to pull from pc, to note from anywhere. plus you can upload your collection to the cloud and access it anywhere, I will get free music from the amazon music market, save to pc, then re-upload to Google, quick way to get alot of free, completely legal music, quick. Not to mention Google Music also has some decent freebies at times too.

Google music is a gem that doesn't get enough credit.
Hi -- I've got a bunch of MP3s in Google Drive, and I'd like to be able to play them on my Android. The problem is that when I play an MP3 on the phone, no matter what app I choose to use to play it (and I've tried a bunch!) the MP3 opens in such a way that if I then switch to another app, playback stops. In other words, the Google Drive MP3 won't play in the background.
Is there any way to make MP3s play from Google Drive in such a way that they WILL play in the background? I've found some awkward workaround to do this -- like downloading the MP3 from the Google Drive web app, or like pinning the MP3 in the Google Drive Android app and then using an Android file manager to find the file and copy it to a folder that the music player searches -- but I really wish there was a better way!!! Anyone know one?
Thanks,
Alan

For some bizarre reason, no - you can't do it. I'd strongly recommend getting Google Music. It'll hold up to 20,000 songs and you can stream or download to your phone with the Google Music player. That' just like a regular music player so it still runs in the background.
Thank you! Yeah, I use the Google Music player for my own stuff; the MP3s in Google Drive are in shared folders from organizations I work with. So, yes, I can copy those over to Google Music when I get to my PC, but I wish there was a better way to listen on my phone to something in Google Drive that I haven't yet moved over.
I wish there was a way to just make Google Drive open the full Google Music app to play these files rather than the little embedded version!

music drive
I've just installed an app called music drive which is dedicated to playing music off the Google drive, works for me, esp as I want to keep all music on the drive

Thank you for the tip! I've been trying this, but it's really not working for me: it crashes constantly and has no search function, which makes dealing with all of the tracks in my Google Drive pretty impossible.

Hi! Not sure if you still need a solution.. But I managed to link my Google Drive to a file manager called ES File Explorer and then used the built in music player to play the music off my Google Drive.

Thanks! It's actually much easier to deal with this with the newer versions of the Google Play Music app: they automatically seem to turn up tracks downloaded by Google Drive.
Hi there, I have a lot of music downloaded into Google Play, but I was wondering if there was a way I could go into the settings with a computer to find the files and copy it from there, and put it into the music folder? Is there a way I could do that? So I could delete the google play app, I don't like that it will automatically edit the music on the phone if you did it on the computer.
Another reason is that I like the music widget, and I want that to appear for all my songs, not just in my phone. So I want to move all my music that is downloaded to google play music to my phone. Does that make sense? And is there a way to do so?
Google Music songs are stored online at "Google Music"

I know that, I downloaded it to my device so now it is stored on the phone memory in the app itself. Is there a way to transfer that into the music folder?
Easiest way is just to download it onto your computer then transfer across.
When you say you downloaded it to your device, did you do it through the app and select songs to keep for offline listening? If you did that, then the files saved aren't actually the music files. I'm not sure what they are, but they are only readable by Google Music.
What you can do (to build off of madflier's post) is go to the Music Manager on your desktop, and there will be a tab to download some or all of your music from Google Music onto your computer. You can then move the music into a folder on your phone and listen there.

Thank you bro, I did it, and it worked perfectly!!!
I've started using Google Play Music as my media player. But when I buy something and "keep it on device" I can't find where its downloaded too. I've searched all through my phone. Sometimes I use the HTC music player nut I can't access anything I've bought from the Play store until I download it to my computer and copy it to my phones music folder. It's pretty frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem? Or know another work around? Thanks in advance

GPM does keep the tracks on your device, but not is a format that can be accessed by other music players. It caches music in /data/data/com.google.android.music/file/music as mp3's with numeric filenames like 10.mp3, 11.mp3, etc. and the indexing of track Title/Album/Artist to the cached mp3's is stored in /data/data/com.google.android.music/databases/music.db
That's just plain stupid..... I paid for the music and should be able to move it to where I want on my own device. I love Google but they do some stupid things. Such as that and not letting you merge 2 separate Google accounts. Thanks a bunch though

Yeah it's stupid. You're better off buying from Amazon.

Kinda stupid, I agree. However, if you're storing music on your phone, you might as well plug in your phone, and just copy the music over to the folders you want, which will preserve file titles/tags.
I actually like Play Music .... but this closed music management is terrible. You can not choose where your music is stored and you can't open your music with another app. As it has been said above, there is the possibility to read out the music.db. So I've written me an app, that copies my MP3 files from Play Music to the sdcard and extended them with the ID3 meta data such as title, artists, albums and coverart. Now I can play the music with every app and theoretically even share.
Of course the whole thing is only one solution for rooted phones. But it makes play music a little more comfortable.
I even found a way to save music from AllAccess, but I'm not going to publish this App Version in the foreseeable future because of legal problems.
I would also like to create help thread here in XDA, but unfortunately I must have 10 posts written , before I can create am own thread in the developer forum.
Here is a Link to to the Play Store: Unfortunately I can not post links yet. Search 'Play Music Exporter' on Google Play.

The app keeps barking that it could not find a registered device. How on earth do i register the google music app on my android phone. It is installed and running on my phone. So, i assume it is registered, but bubbleupnp thinks my phone is not a registered device for this app. It was the main reason i paid for this app.
Could anyone offer a tip?

I don't think so unfortunately, you can read that : https://reddit.com/r/YoutubeMusic/comments/hhg308/bubble_upnp_will_it_support_ytm/
But do it anyway, it has already started, it will save your library so you don't lose all of your song

Is there a way to stream pandora, spotify, etc from my android phone to an external renderer (my hifi bluray/sacd player) with bubbleupnp? I don't want to pay for Qobuz or tidal which bubble permits. I am currently using bubble to push music files from my NAS to this bluray/sacd player (dlna). But, i have not figured out a way to stream music from free services like pandora etc from my phone to this player. I use pandora, google play music, etc to find new music.
Any tip you offer is much appreciated.

Well idk which protocol YT music support but you can cast music to other devices like google homes, Chromecast, but that's it. Hope the way you've found will keep working
