I saw that Spotify was integrated in with the stock music app, but I never messed with it (Spotify was one of the apps I uninstalled immediately). I was wondering if it was possible to integrate the Google Play Music app with the stock music app (i.e. use the stock interface to listen to music from Google Play).
It's probably that I'm not a fan of the color orange... and Google Play Music has orange EVERYWHERE.
On a side note, just got the phone yesterday (coming from LG G3) and am loving it. Only got warm during the initial update, no lag happening afterwards... not sure why there's so much negativity in these threads on here.

I like the google play music app, but the widget is the most boring thing I have ever seen. Any using/know of some installable widgets that run the google play music app but have some more functionality than that simple bar offered from google?
I was wondering the same exact thing...
I use double twist widget to control music downloaded from Google play music

Me too. It is ugly and very limited. The old music app has been removed unfortunately. Any ideas would help
So I just bought and installed a Rydeen DV638A in my car. It's an in-dash receiver running pure Android, specifically Froyo.
Been using it for a few days and I absolutely love it. Would recommend it to anyone. It's got a Cortex A7 processor, is very quick and responsive, and it boots up in just a few seconds. It also comes pre-loaded with the Google Play store and has access to most Froyo compatible apps.
I've got virtually all my Google Apps installed. Drive, Movies & TV, Keep, etc. all of these work flawlessly. What is annoying me is this. I have Google Play Music installed, but when I click on it, it launches the stock music app. No matter what I try I can't get it to launch Google Play Music instead of the stock Froyo music player.
Since I have all my music on Google Play, I'd like to fix this, but I really don't want to attempt to root the unit... anyone know what I could do to solve it?
Okay, so I played with it more and here's what's happening now. I noticed that I had 10 authorized devices on my Google Play Music account, so I removed some, and that helped. Now, if I press Google Music, it actually opens Google Music - 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time it still opens the stock Froyo app, but if I exit that app and try again, it works. Weird.
Thinking about setting something up with Tasker. Maybe make it so that any time the stock music player launches, it auto launches Google Music. Any ideas?
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
I just started using google play and purchasing music through them. For a few days, everything was fine but then some artists started dissapearing. Eventually all my old music was completely gone. All the files are still there on my phone, but can only be sampled through my file viewer. I'm assuming that Google play just disabled them all for piracy reasons, but thats the thing. I purchased more than half of it on iTunes growing up.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem, or maybe a way that I can edit the music so that google doesn't pick it up as 'Pirated'?
New to LG here. Just switched from a Moto X as my upgrade finally came through.
Perhaps a simple question, I am just playing around and wondering if there is a way to sync my Google Play music library to the stock Music app on the G5. I like the different sound options (bass boost, surround, etc), and wanted to see how if it might work.
Thanks for the help.
As far as I know you can only play Google play music on your Google play app. Your LG player will detect anything else you add but not the stuff downloaded via Google play music. Unless you bought the music at which point I wouldn't know.
