IN my google store I only have listed on the first page APPS, BOOKS, and MOVIES but I have seen that music is added to the Google Store .. how can I add that, my SGN is a German version with a UK ROM , n7000xxlc1
Google music is only available in the U.S. I'm not sure if there are ways to fool your phone into thinking that's where you are.

I think I read somewhere that you can use proxy service one time when connecting to Google music and it won't be checking if you are in the US next time you visit. But I didn't tried this as I wasn't interested.

Google Books website has the solution, although it took some digging to find it.
Go to Settings...Applications...Manage...All
Scroll down until you see "Google Partner Setup"
Open it
"Clear Data"
reboot
You should now be able to launch Google books and see the 3 preloaded books.

This did nothing for me.
But I am in South Africa. So that is probably why.

U.S. only perhaps?
I just factory reset my xoom to take back (to get the screen fixed) - or i would have tried this in uk...
... re set up my device anyway - done the above - and no google books... doesn't seem to work on the UK vers...
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/365897
Lothaen, I cant even install google books in the uk, market says its not available on my carrier, but it's a wifi xoom... any ideas?
Google books is only available in US.
There are ways to install it anyway, but what's the point? You can't buy any books anyway if you are not in US.
I thought it was pre-installed....
also i thought(hoped) you'd be able to add your own epub/pdf's in.
I'll have to get alkido again then

I was also interested in this and searched a little. I didn't find a way to side load anything to google books app, so I didn't see a point in trying to get it working.
But there was a thread here where was a guide how to get books working, of course i'm not sure if it will work on the European Xoom. Try to search if interested.
I'm in exactly the same position Lothaen, Books is a non-starter for us in the UK.
I am wondering though if one of our American friends with root access could backup the Books apk with Titanium and let us have it? Don't know if it's possible but worth a shot... can anyone help please?
In the meantime I'm using Nook as Aldiko keeps FCing on me.

I don't understand why do you all want it, if you can't use it anyway?

We can use it. I have the mobile version on my phone and I can download all the free books. Also it looks pretty.

This is interesting, I searched but didn't find anything about sideloading, other then forum posts saying its impossible.
Does the UK Xoom have books under Settings> Applications?
If it is there, then a how to get it working is posted somewhere here in the forums.
Sorry I edited my earlier post as I thought I'd seen a post on sideloading but can't find it anymore.
Books isn't on by default on the UK version

I am in Germany and got the update to 3.1 om my US WIFI
After the update:
+ Books: does not work anymore. Can read one of the three books, two other say: "failure when trying to open the book"
+ Books: shop does not work anymore, says "https:market.android.com/books" is unknown URL
+ Movie Studio Icon is broken, says "app not installed", app under myapps still works, fix: reinstall on home screen.
+ no Movie access in market at all
+ no sign of Google Music at all
Thats it so far

Backup everything and do a factory reset....
All these apps are only available in US, so this is not a bug.

I'd call it a bug anyway.
Could not recreate first Books issue. Movie studio issue is well known here, I think. Easy fix.
Rest are because we are not in USA.

Search for BooksTablet.apk and install it using ES File Explorer, then Uninstall updates. This worked for me.
The movie rental is a known issue by Google. The posted that it is not available at the moment for the Xoom Wi-Fi, even in US.
Hi has anyone been able to get the full Google Music Beta features working on their devices in the UK? How about Google Books and the video rental service? Cheers

Has anyone noticed that Google Now voice commands for Music don't work? I say "Listen to xxx" and all it does is launch a google search for xxx!

Does it pull up results with music or YouTube?

It pulls up a regular Google search result, which prioritizes youtube results first. So the first few results are youtube and the rest are web pages.
But I've been checking into this and apparently there is a lot of people for whom Google Now music commands are not working at all. Maybe Google made it exclusive to the USA?

Just tried with mine and it works.. Pulls up the normal box where it allows you to choose which app to listen with.

Where are you located exactly? What ROM and version are you on exactly?
It's weird- it works for some people and not for others. That's why I'm wondering whether it is a geographic restriction. I'm in Canada.

I'm in Seattle on the stock 4.4 ROM.
Sent from my Nexus 4, while driving in my Evo9.
It doesn't work for me either
and I'm also outside of the U.S.
why would there be a geographic restriction for this?
Not only the Nexus
I know this is a Nexus 4 forum and my device is not a Nexus 4, but I thought I'd mention that this issue is not limited to these devices.
Also, the problem isn't only outside the U.S., and isn't only with 4.4. Or I guess there might be a different issue that keeps it working from outside the U.S. But there's definitely issues inside the U.S. as well. Unless it's tied to my specific phone model in the US, the Samsung Galaxy S3 (which is possible I supposed because I know Samsung does weird things over standard Android on their phones and I suppose something Samsung has done could be interfering with the Google Now music play functionality). I've had my S3 for a little over a year now and this has been a problem since the original 4.1 software that came on it up through the 4.3 software I got about a month ago. I desperately want to make my S3 use Google Now instead of S-Voice for various reasons, and I know how and have done that, but Google Now is just useless when it comes to playing music by voice in the car. S-Voice may be crap for a number of other reasons, but IF it actually understands what I say, S-Voice never fails to correctly play the music.
It's not that Google Now music voice commands never work, but they only seem to work about 1/3 of the time. Artists seem to be the most reliable, but even then it's only about half the time. Some artists it will understand and play just fine, other artists it will only display standard Google Search results with no option at the bottom to select your music player. Album is about the same as artist, works about half the time. Trying to play a specific song almost never works and displays the standard Google Search results probably 90% of the time. Playlist seems to work most of the time but I only have 3 playlists.
I've seen a lot of other threads on various forums reporting the same issue from various Android versions and other, non-Samsung, phones too.
I bought my Nexus 7 while I was in England. I am back in the US now but Play Store seems to still be set for the UK because prices are in £. I tried to buy a ebook and it wouldn't let me based on my location. I am not sure if its the store specifically or the tablet but I can't seem to work out how change the location. I don't think it is the tablet since I can access apps like hulu that wouldn't work out there. If anyone can help that would be great,

Its not a big problem to fix. There is no problem with the tablet location that's set by IP address. You need to log in to your Google account on the google play website and change country from UK to USA its to stop your currency ect changing if you go on holiday.
