SAVE YOUR GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC OFFLINE MUSIC TO EXTERNAL SDCARD
So I've been researching this issue for a long long time and have tried so many different approaches. I've finally found one that works! You can now save your google play music to your external sd instead of the internal sdcard.
This is based on the post found here. Please go and thank the original author. This will probably work on any phone.
So what this basically does is mount the google play music cache to a directory on your external SD on boot.
Requirements:
1. Root
2. external SD(obviously)
Steps
Using whatever task manager you have or just go into settings->apps->running, close google play music.
Open your file manager and browse to /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache and delete all of the files found in music dir and artwork dir in this directory. This is very important step. If you do not delete your cache then your files will take up space but will no longer be available after this process.
Browse to the root diretory of your external sdcard and create a directory called "MusicCache".
Browse to the root of your internal sdcard and create a text file called "MusicScript.txt".
Using your favourite text editor open the the file and past the following: "mount -o bind /emmc/MusicCache/ /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music/" and the save the file. Please note that if your using stock room, then /emmc/ might be /external-sd/. Please make sure to check the directory name for your external sd and replace /emmc/ with whatever your external sd directory is named.
Go to the google play store and install script manager - Smanager. Open smanager, and on first open you should see an option to select root, check that option and click ok and make sure to grant root to the app when the su dialog appears.
In Smanager browse to the root of your sdcard and click on and hold the "MusicScript.txt" to open a options dialog. Select "open as" and then select "Script/Executable".
Then Select "Su" and "Boot" and hit save.
You might not need this stop but it might solve some issues. Go to settings app->apps->google play music-> and hit clear data.
Reboot your phone.
Open up google play music and click on Choose on device music, and you should see the total space available equal to what is available on your external SD Card
(Optional) Hamster dance.
Note: While downloading all of your music offline you may want to go to the settings app->developer options->check Keep Awake to keep the phone awake while charging so that the phone won't go to sleep. I did this so that I could finish up the download while keeping my phone charger connected. You should definitely turn this option off after your done.

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out how to do this. I figured I'd just have to wait for Google to get their act together. But external storage has clearly not been a priority for them.

I'm glad I could help someone. I've been mostly a lurker on this board. But I've benefited so much that I felt I had to give back once I got this working. I've been at this issue for a long long time.
BTW, did it work for you?
Awesome, I'm going to give this a try when I get home from work today. I'll let you know if I got it working. Very cool of you to share this.

ah, you mean, settings->storage->storage configuration->layout configuration. But that moves all of your apps/media to external storage. The method I posted just moves gmusic cache which the solution I've been looking for.

It seems like everyone has gotten this working except me! I was able to create the symlink using your script, and I even see the cache directory on the external SD card. The odd issue is that the cache directory remains completely empty no matter how many songs I store offline. Even when I remove the symlinks, the files are not in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music. I have gone so far as to factory reset my phone twice (in two different ways) and the issue still persists. After factory resetting, my main goal was to just find where the offline files are being stored so I didn't even create symlinks.
I am using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 with the stock rom.
Can anyone help me with this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!
Can you first confirm that files are available offline in music. Simply check On device only in the pop menu when you hit the menu button.

Confirmed... I have also been using it since Google music came out. Directory bind is pretty awesome as it let's you redirect lots of data to wherever you want it. I use it for a few games also.
Hey guys,
Since I cant post in the Dev Forum, i thought I'd leave this here...
If you're running into issues with apps being able to write to the SD card when using the conversion, like I had with stuff like beyondPod and Rdio, this should help it out.
The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Reboot
saw this in the galaxy tab plus forums and it worked on my oG!
EDIT: This issue was supposedly fixed with the release4 update. I'm a little behind in the times, but thought this was good info for xperia tablet s users none the less.
This is not about installing and running apps from the sdcard2, although this might help. This is about writing files, move, copy, paste, etc....to the sdcard2 from file managers (astro, etc...), office apps, and any other app installed on the tablet that you want to move or write to the external sdcard2. I found this method elsewhere on xda-developers and other forums so this is not my work and credit goes to them, but I have done this mod and edit and it works great.
Must be Rooted tablet:
1. Using 'File Expert' file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.
2. Edit platform.xml in a text editor and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart your tablet.
That's it. After this you will be able to write to the sdcard2 from any app that is able. As far as installing apps to the sdcard2 and running them from there, this may now be possible using some play store apps designed for such activities.
Hope this helps. It did for me.....

I cannot get folder mount tovmove my Google Access music. In fact when I use it to browse my SD card, it never populates folder sizes or anything else.
I used this for the sane purpose on my Razr, with success. Has anyone got this app to work on their S4?

I'm also having the same problem. Are the files stored somewhere else, because they don't appear to be in com.google.android.music.
EDIT: I think I figured it out! The location for the music is actually /data/data/com.google.android.music. Happy listening!
First kill play music app so it is not running
Then (I used solid explorer, but I am sure you could use a terminal app. adb shell, or any other app you prefer to use.
In Solid Explorer by deleting the music folder located in /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music and then I created a symlink from /storage/extSdCard/files/music to /data/data/com.google.android.music/files which makes a music folder that points back to the external sdcard.
Last reboot your phone
It works very very well and all the music I want to cache from what I have stored in google works well.
Hope this helps you out.
Does it still let you write new music to this location?
It has for me. I have cached about 400 songs offline after doing the symlink

symlinks are the way to go. do it with my solid state hard drive to a bigger drive, works great
This worked for me. But every time I reboot I get a "Google Music has stopped working" error. It onky does it once, right as the OS loads back up.

Is this really working or is it just duplicating your device folder on your sdcard? Since our phone's file system doesn't support symlinks, I don't understand how this is working! I've read many threads and no one can get this to work on the verizon version. Just curious!
Working for me! Symlink does work... thats what folderMount does.

I did not symlick the folder from the phone to the sd card. I actually deleted the cache and files folder located in /data/data/com.google.android.music and then I created a symlink from the cache and files folder I created on the sdcard to the system root partition.
So look at it like this. I created shortcuts inside the system root folder from the source located on the sdcard. So when Google Music go to place content in the cache and files folder in the system root partition it is actually placing this content on the sdcard.
This has been keeping my internal storage from diminishing and is using the sdcard.
I would say why not try it out yourself and test it out. You will be able to see everything for yourself.
This is doing exactly what FoulderMount does from internal storage to sdcard, but for the system root. I actually got the idea to try this when I got an error from FolderMount stating it cant be done from within the app.
Hope this answers your questions and concerns on this.

I am actually using FolderMount to do this for AmazonMP3 folder, DCIM, Downloads, Wallbase, and quite a few other apps. Specially with the beta setting os excluding the duplicate folders from being scanned into the media apps. The folder I have the files and cache in I have a .nomedia file in the rot folder to keep duplicate files from showing up in the media apps.

Exactly, it is what made me try it for Google Music. I was thinking of doing this for the space time studios games but they don't hit over 50 megs each when you download the content.
i did try folder mount. And that's why I'm asking how yall two got it working. Our phone's, GS4's, does not support symlinks. Google it. There is no one else on the net with a verizon phone that has this working. Yes, there are tutorials on the net about using folder mount and various other ways, but they don't work for our verizon model. There are many many threads on the verizon gs4 forums about people asking about foldermount. When most verizon gs4 users use foldermount, it just makes a duplicate folder on the sdcard, both the device folder and the sdcard folders just mimic each other, not gaining you any space on the phone itself.

I am guessing you did not read what I have said in this thread. I did not use foldermount for this one but I did list the ones I did use foldermount for. I did state however that I did a "symlink" for google music folders. I never stated that I used foldermount for that. But no matter what I have said in the past few posts you dont want to listen or even try it out for yourself. I am very happy to know there are so many threads stating this cant be done.
Here is some information about symbolic links as I think you should read more about it.
Also you can create a symlink on an ext4 FS which is where the link resides and its target is on a fat32 FS. I never stated that I created the target on a fat32 you assumed this.
Also googling around about this I found an actually XDA thread that talked about yet someone else who was able to do this back in Nov 2012....
More links for your reading pleasure.... link 1, link 2, and last but not least one about the space usage which seems pretty clear that it does not do double space. Depending on how the software reads it, it may think it is using that space but it really is not. Read a little more next time. Google is not a hard thing to use when searching for answers. Also it is not hard to accept something works when others in this thread and others have plainly stated that it works.
Also just a little more information just in case you aren't sure about everything you read
Screenshot of files symlink and screenshot of cache symlink
Screenshot of files folder on the SDCARD and now for the screenshot of the cache folder on the SDCARD
I removed some songs to see if the device would record different storage use on the system root folder and it did not.
All in all believe what you want and do what you want, this works for me and it has worked for others on this thread and another thread I found earlier tonight.
Now....
You must be rooted....
Force Stop Google Music
In Solid Explorer (this is what I used)
go to system root and /data/data/com.google.android.music/ and delete files and cache (cache if you want to)
go to sdcard and make a folder called Google Music (or anything you want to name it...) create a folder called files and cache in this folder.
now right click and chose properties on files and chose create a symlink and give the path of the "/data/data/com.google.android.music/files This will be the target that is created.
now right click and chose properties on cache and chose create a symlink and give the path of the "/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache This will be the target that is created.

I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I should have dug some more on the symlinks. I got even more confused when chewy said he made symlinks, that's what folder mount does. How do you have your sd card partitioned and formatted if you don't mind answering?

Not a problem, I just wanted you to be able to see the info.
My sd card FS is fat32 formatted by winbloze 7. Now my real test will be to replicate all of this once I get my 64gb sd card which will be formatted in exFAT.
I use foldermount for everything else though. It does well from my usage so far for the base few days and I dont have to remember which folders I use symlinks on. I just know from reading either on here or on the app page that the app does not make links in the system root. So I just tried to do a symlink and it worked well. Googling tonight actually showed me someone else did it before me.
Since you are having issues can I ask what type of sdcard do you have and what fs is on it? Also what app are you using to do the symlink? is it an app or are you doing it from a terminal emulator or through adb shell?

Same here. Tried link2sd and it worked once until phone was rebooted, then it can't create script.
I found this at www link2sd info/faq:
In order to use Link2SD you need to do "S-OFF" to disable this NAND lock. (a.k.a. "NAND unlock" or "unlocking the bootloader")
So maybe the bootloader has to be unlocked to move apps to SD. ???

Hello Guys,
Hold ON!! Hold ON!!!
You no need to do all that stuff to increase your phone's internal memory. Using Link2SD on L9 for increasing memory is a HORRIBLE !dea.
If you have a Class 10 (at least Class 8) SD Card with good storage capacity then Just Follow Me:-
1. First Download This script file and Install SManager (free app) from the link below:-
Script
SManager
2. Now use a file manager with root access and copy above script file to /system/etc/ Folder of your device.
3. Run SManager, It will start with explorer. Tap on UP Arrow at top left until the first directory icon left only with "/".
4. Now tap on etc-> /system/etc, in list. It will take you directly to /system/etc/ Folder of your device.
5. Find extsd2internalsd-jellybean.sh file which you copied in 2. Step. Tap on it.
6. An open as ... dialog will appear. Tap on Script/Executable
7. Next dialog will appear with some icons and text with it.
8. Now tap on Su icon (Android with crossed bones).
9. Then tap on Boot icon (gear).
10. Now last one, just tap on RUN Button.
DONE
now go to setting=> storage and check the size of internal memory :silly::silly:
this tutorial will exchange your phone's internal storage with external storage.
and all this tutorial is not my work. All credits goes to Roker1, so thanks to him. Just explained it in a simple way that I am using my Self

Okay Let me clear your confusions.
Before copying script to etc folder es explorer have to obtain root access.
To do so, open es file explorer, tap in a small icon with a globe behind mobile, located at top left of ES file Explorer.
A menu from left side will appear, tap on TOOLS option, it will get expanded.
Now scroll Down until you see ROOT Explorer option with on OFF button.
Tap on OFF button in front off Root Explorer. A message or dialog will appear asking to allow root access to es file explorer (if your l9 is rooted & super user is installed).
Tap on allow. Now the off button should change to ON. Thats it, ES file explorer has gained root access. Now try to copy that script file to etc folder and then follow rest of tutorial.
if still you are confused, let me know

Okay Let me clear your confusions.
After looking your above queries, it look's like you are not familiar to android development or to any other programming languages.
So help you more deeply am gonna update my above tutorial more deeply. Try to follow it again
Again if you got confused, you can ask again. For now follow my updated tutorial again.

Thanks gdjindal! I have some questions.
Does the SD need two partitions? Does this move any system apps to SD? Does it automatically move EVERYTHING else to SD or just apps newly installed after setting this up? Can you control which apps to move and/or move things back to internal? What happens if your SD card fails? Can this setup be uninstalled and revert back to stock? Do apps operate much slower running from SD this way?
Thanks again!
