This has been a problem since google music first became available. It only seems to sync one way (desktop to cloud). If I delete a song in my music folder it remains in Google music. Same happens if I edit a songs tags. Is there any way to get it to sync both ways. The desktop program says it's "monitoring" my music folder so why is it not deleting songs out of the cloud when I delete them from my desktop?

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I want to stream one particular song I noticed that the Google Play Music app downloads and caches the previous/next few songs for quicker access. How can I prevent this? It uses a lot of data and I usually only want to listen to the one song I chose to stream.
For example if I play a 6 mb song i noticed it uses about 40 mb to stream just that one song. Then I selected a different song to stream and immediately went into settings > download queue and noticed it was loading more songs than the one I requested. I only want to listen to the 1 song I chose, so how can I prevent the other songs from loading? As far as I can see there is no way in the app's settings but there has to be another way to stop this inconvenience.
P.S. I have a T999 galaxy s3 running on stock rooted ICS
I copy all my music files into google music on my sd card! They all went away. The only thing that is left is the band title folder, they are all empty inside. Is there any recovery or did I make a huge mistake? sdcard/andriod/data/com.goole.andriod.music..I still have all my "on device music" from google.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have an iPhone 4S and I am probably going to get a Galaxy Note 2 when it comes out for Verizon. In order to prepare for this, I set up Google Play Music to upload my music so it can be ready for me when I get my new phone (I like it better than Samsung's default music player). Only one problem: protected AAC files (or DRM) can't be transferred to Play Music. I tried converting my music with 2 different DRM converters, but they were free trials, and it only would convert 1:00 of each song and then stop. Is there any free way to convert each protected song completely, along with protected videos? Also, does music on Play Music eat up an Android device's space? I have over 12 GB of music and movies and I don't want to have barely any any space left on a 16 GB device if a 32 or 64 GB ever comes out, minus the SD card.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have music that is playable with Google Play Music player, but not with other players. I have chosen for the music to be "on the device", and it plays when even in Airplane Mode, so I know it is not streaming, but the music files do not show up in my "Music" directory tree, or under any other file trees that I can find. I have used ES File Explorer to do a top down search for some of the missing titles, but it doesn't find them. I'm perplexed. There must be a cache somewhere, but I can't find it.

I currently use PlayerPro from the market, and I wanted to use the Google cloud for "wirelessly syncing" my music.
I use doubletwist for listening to new music that is stored on my SD card. I use Google Music for streaming my favorite tracks that I have uploaded. The problem is Google Music automatically searches my SD card and displays all the music stored on my phone along with the artists/playlists/etc. that I have stored on the cloud, which makes it confusing when browsing the library. Can I prevent Google Music from searching and displaying what's on the SD card, but still allow doubletwist to see it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]..I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!
just trying out Google Play Music today. I'm confused though as I have around 10000 music files sitting in a folder on Google drive. I can't see an option to ask Google Play Music to look into Google Drive and upload the music from there. I have connected my Google play music app on my nexus 7 to my Google account' but nothing seems to happen. Surely Google is able to connect two parts of its cloud together and I don't have to re upload everything?

I'm trying to figure out if the Google Play Music app tells Google what songs I'm listening to, or sends any other information to Google for that matter. If so, is there a way to turn that function off?
I know many people don't have an issue with letting Google know these kinds of things about them and that's fine. I'd just rather not. I didn't use Apple's genius recommendations on my iPhone either.
Having a little problem with my music files. I thought you could just plug the HTC One into the computer and it would show up as a usb device. So i put my music into a file on my Mac. However when i plug in my One all that happens is it wants me to use HTC Sync Manager. I tried and its just plain awful. Is there a way i can just drag the music file and drop into the One?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI moved over all my music into the local music folder on the hard drive of the phone. As always, when I listen to local MP3's it plays the song, but it never loads the album artwork because I got these MP3's from various sources.
I was wondering if there is some kind of application that will scan my music folder, attempt to recognize my songs and their metadata, and sync that metadata with album artwork to the files so that they show up in my music player app.

I keep on getting an error, is it something to do with the ICS update???(I have a Xperia Ray)
I got this phone about a month ago, I put 3 albums off of my music library onto the phone and no error appeared, I then got myself a new micro SD card and then realized that ICS had been released for my phone. After the update I was unable to sync music to my phone
I am starting to use my Asus Prime (with Android 4.0.3) to listen to music, and for that I am trying to use and sync it with my PC music library, as I always did with my other player (Samsung P3), but I face some difficulties.
Global context : So, the source is my PC, on which I have all my music in FLAC (ripped all my CD some time ago).
I have Mediamonkey gold, updated latest version. When I plug my prime, two devices (MTP) are detected :
#1- Prime internal storage
#2- Prime MicroSD
I want to put all my music on #2, in a /Music folder, and convert it in ogg on the fly during the sync. To do so, I create a playlist in MM, and in the Sync properties of #2, I set the conversion choice, choose the playlist, and set the directory to use.
Situation:
- first, when I launch the sync, no matter if I have already music from a previous sync or not, it started re-writing ALL the music files on the prime (even if there are only 2 or 3 new files in the source playlist). As I sync more than 1000 music, this takes hours...
- then, for some reason I can't tell, it seems the sync is stopped at some point, because not all the music are then on the prime...only ~25%. As I launch the sync during the night (because it is very long), I don't see it happen. When I arrive in the morning, MM seems OK, the prime as well. Once I had a MM message telling that it could not write a few files (but only around 50... not 500...) and it does not tell why....
So you see my issues...
-It takes for ages because it does not seem to see the deltas in the playlist...
-It stops at some point, so I don't have all the music I wish...
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy Tab 3. I want all of the music from my phone to automatically sync with my tablet. I download to my phone directly and don't want to transfer everything manually each time I download a new song.
I see that Google Music can do this but it's designed for music that is stored on a laptop/pc. I'd rather not do it this way if possible as the whole reason I bought the tablet was to avoid carrying the laptop around.
note that the music is stored on the SD Card and not the handset. Not sure it will make a big difference but I thought I would point it out.
Im looking for a desktop media library/music player that allows a random song sync with android. I also want to limit the amount of memory it fills. For instance i want to set it to sync random songs out of my library to fill a max of 3gb.
Ive tried winamp but for some reason it only wants to sync full albums rather than individual songs, despite making sure the option is unticked under autofill options.
I have recently got a Nexus 7 and I was looking for an app that could sync my music between it, my Galaxy Nexus, PC and preferably also Macbook.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a LG Optimus Dynamic LG-L38C. I have been going thru some of my old music cd's and I want to put some songs on my phone. I would like to put the music on my SD Micro card, so I don't know if I can do it with the SD Card in the phone or if I need to put it in the SD Card reader to sync the music to it..
Also, I have some pictures that are saved on flash drives. Is there a certain way on coping them from the flash drive to either my phone or to a disc or dvd so each picture will still show the date of when the pic was taken. I have some pictures in a folder and some pictures that were just copied without being in a folder,, which I want to put all of them in a folder at some point in time. I was gona make my mom a copy of some of the grandkids pics that are on the flash drive and she don't have a computer so she can only watch them in her DVD player that is built into her tv.
I tried coping some before and some of the pictures were different sizes when she went to look at them on her tv. Then I took her cell phone to CVS and they somehow hooked it to there machine and made her a copy on a cd and they all showed up the same size. I would like to learn to be able to do this by learning how to transfer them to surprise her with some more pics I found that she would like to have. But I have to look on line to see how to do it the correct way so they all show up the same size. Also, there will be more pictures as the kids grow that I will need to add to the disc I make her, I was wondering If using a blank DVD would be better to copy the pictures I was doing for her on that if it would hold more pics..

Issues with google music not recognizing music stored on their sd card, if their phone already has internal storage, but I have noticed on my HTC Amaze that google music will only recognize the music on the internal storage and not all of the songs I had on my micro sd. Is it possible to modify google music to read or find music from more than one location on your phone?
PS I have more music than what would fit on the the phones storage so moving songs from micro SD to the phones internal storage would not be an option.
So the pictures I take sync with google drive, but not the screenshots.
