I updated to music 4.0 like is posted here.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...s-all-new-interface-better-controls-and-more/
I did lose my music, but was able to get it syncing again easily. Only thing... I don't have any playlists. I hope this isn't by design. I even tried creating a new playlist on the computer to see if it would find that one. No deal.
Anyone else??
Future FYI--
I don't know about different version support ie 4.0, but I have had good luck backing up/restoring playlists with MyBackUp Pro. So have never lost them--yet--

you shouldn't install this music 4.0 if you expect everything to work.
This apk isn't designed to work with 2.3.x it is for ICS.
Works perfectly, just delete data after installing...

Heh, really. So you don't think it's appropriate to ask if other people are having the same problem? That seems a bit strict... especially when it is being reported that everything DOES work.

Here's what I did to get the apk working (v4.0.1.501), with root access.
If you use Titanium Backup, use it to uninstall all existing versions of Music on your phone (this includes both the stock Music app and Music Beta).
Then install the apk.
Open the application, and you should see a notification asking for permission to connect to your Google account. Tap confirm.
Go to Settings, Applications, then Music and hit "clear data".
Go back to the Music app and your music should start syncing from the cloud.
If nothing happens, check that there is an item under Account Settings / Google account, for Google Music, and that sync is activated.
Hope it helps!

Yeah, they take a second or two to display, but they're there...
The playlist is there

Hmmm, I still don't have mine. I even tried reinstalling. Maybe because I'm only 2.3.3... or I suppose who knows what it could be. Oh well... I can live with it this way for a couple of months I think. I really like the updated version.
Can anyone report if the usability of the player has been improved? I love the streaming feature of 3.0, but aside from that it is the worst music player I have ever touched. Stuff like not being able to create ad hoc playlists, the all songs from an artist playlist sorting the tracks in alphabetical order, and the pointless hiding of the notification bar in the landscape view make me want to punch someone every time I listen to music.
Finally figured it out. I downloaded the official app from the market, which I thought maybe would work... but it didn't. Then when maps 6.0 came out yesterday... well you all know the lack of internal space. So my N1 was so screwed, it wasn't even connecting to google servers and getting my mail because the space was so slow. I also noticed how the music app just kept saying it was syncing (the spinning circle).
I decided to cull the apps a little, and really free up some space. Well after about 20 minutes, finally my playlists appeared. So the music app was building a database, but then running out of space and stopping, and I guess it was leaving the playlists until the end. My database was also missing a lot of songs. An album might have been missing half the songs (of course they were all there on the web).
Just for the record, I'm not talking about pinning my music and downloading it or anything, I mean even just seeing the songs on the phone without offline access.
Hopefully I can live with almost no apps until January when I can get a GN.
So liking the nexus 7 so far got a couple of questions that I can't seem to find in the manual or online
Home screen - Music is still using the default album art placeholder - although in the music app itself shows the album art correctly.
I've been into settings and apps and cleared the music app data - but its not updated the home page
Any ideas?
Also the google IO keynote where it showcased two games - dead trigger and Horn? - ive found dead trigger but cannot find the other one...
Dont know if anyone else watched it but any ideas what its called? on vid its 12.30mins in.
(cant link youtube due to age of account)
Thanks in advance for any replies
Horn is not released as of yet

hi everyone. my apologies for asking a question I'm sure has been asked many times before. I want to run my browser or YouTube app whilst doing other things. as an example, I would like to play a song from Firefox on YouTube whilst sketching on Sketchbook pro. all the info I've read around this problem doesn't really solve the problem. I tried downloading the maxathon browser which works as long as I am still in said browser. is there any way of using my tablet in a similar way to a PC or Mac or is this the price we have to pay? thanks in advance

Download PVStar+ from play store, it works great for background listening

Hi All
I know this has been discussed quite a few times before in other posts, but the offered solution doesn't seem to apply to my new S4.
I want to 'find' the music that I've downloaded from the Google Play Music app. I've clicked on the little map pin icon in the app and I can see the track downloading. However when I go to the 'Android/Data/com.google.android.music/cache' or 'Android/Data/com.google.android.music/files' (depending on which post you read), the track ISN''T there. I've repeated the download exercise a number of times, but still can't find the music.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

you are not doing anything. I assume our friends from google have hidden the file well.
I have the same issue: the pin is orange (so the file should be on the phone), but it is nowhere to be found. music player does not find it either..
The bizarre thing is I *can* see the track in the Google Play Music app

I have All Access n google music
Hello. I have a couple questions about my nexus 4. It's running paranoid android newest update. It asked me if I wanted to enable recent app card stack view and I clicked yes by mistake. I was wondering how to set it back? Also my phone when playing music changes the lock screen wallpaper to whatever album I'm listening too is there a way to make it so it don't change?
If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The music lockscreen is tied to Google play music app so use another music app. And for the first question, click backup & restore in settings and scroll to the bottom. Check 'reset preferences'
