So i've downloaded the nexus q app for ICS and the newest google play music app and I don't see how i can get music to play on the nexus q.. is there something i'm missing??
is that google music manager required?
thanks in advance.
Yes - you need to download Music Manager on your computer and it will start to upload music to Google Music. Once it's uploaded, it'll show in both the web interface at http://music.google.com/ and in the Google Play Music app.

Ok so if I understand correctly, this Google q is playing music stored on Google music that's been uploaded from a pc, not music that is stored on your phone then...?
Btw can u upload music to Google music directly from ur phone?
Thanks again
i've have tried a thousand times to get the google music manager working, im located outside of the US in Canada and this service is only avail inside US, I tried to use TOR to change IP no idea if it worked, it will not allow me to sign into google music period. any ideas?
Is this because my google account is registered in canada????? I have no idea, this has just become so damn annoying and a complete waste of time

Works for me in the Netherlands. Can you login to music.google.com ? The block is only for activation, after that everything should be normal.

It says this service is not yet available in your country. Perhaps the torrc file is not editing correctly.. to change my IP to a US IP address..?
Got it working.... the tor program hasn't been working since the latest update. So I used "hide my IP" instead.

Found a few threads on google, but nothing here. All my mp3's are perfectly tagged, and have art embedded. In Music they show up fine, even in the 'last added' tab... but in the widget they do not show up..
In fact these mp3's are from Amazon, so I know they're ok..
Any ideas?
I have found album art only shows in the widget when it is uploaded to google music itself.
I had some music on the N7, all album art showed in the app but not in the widget.
Upload exactly the same files to google music and it all shows up in the widget.

Hmm how did you do that from the UK? Just comes up with 'We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States.'

Ahh yep, was following this guide :/
Hmm managed to get into it on Tor eventually (once in about fifty attempts), but then the guide says once registered you can use from any location... but still getting same message from UK IP. Then I tried to get back in with Tor, and again, with a US IP comes up with the warning! Give up :crying:
Sorry, was about 3 weeks ago I did it, wonder if they blocked it? Though I am still able to upload to and use the service.
There's another guide here that does it differently: http://www.knowyourmobile.com/features/1207574/how_to_enable_google_music_in_the_uk.html
I will try to find the exact guide I used before to see if anything is different to the one I posted.

I have the same problem sometimes... but it does not bother me, as it goes away by itself.
So theres no way for music that is saved locally on my N7 to have its album art show?
i know a way around
just use tunnel bear
select us ip
login into ur Google account from there
and the go to google music
get the music manager
upload some songs
and now turn off tunnel bear
once activated ur google music auccount will not be disable even if u login from original ip
i know this cause i stay in India where google music is disabled and i got it working this way for my account.

I'd like to know about this too. I have music both on my device and it's also uploaded to Google Play from my computer. Not having album art really bugs me for some reason. I live in the USA so I don't have to do anything weird with Google Play, it works fine.
EDIT: I figured it out. I went to my Google account and synced music/library. It shows the same albums but they have artwork note now.
I have search the forums and not found what I'm looking for so I will start a thread.
I just used Google play to purchase a album and I selected the download to device option so I wouldn't have to deal with any storage in the cloud. the issue is when I scan folders for new music or using the power amp app, it cannot find this new music. I have used root explorer and can not find the folder Google play placed my purI feel pretty stupid starting a thread for this but any help would be appreciated
Sorry, but when you purchase music from Google Play you have to use their app to play it back, which is Play music. I do not believe there is an option to download your music, because it is a cloud based service. Amazon mp3 is the same thing as google play music, but you have the option to download your music rather than only stream it, which is much better imo.

I was afraid this is what I would find out. I normally purchase my music from Amazon via the download function. Kinda pissed I made the purchase now and can't burn a copy of it for the CD player in the car.
He is correct, can "only" be played via the Google Music app, but there is a work around. Amazon does let you download instantly, but music is 260kbs, Google is 320kbs. You can download your google Music on your pc and manually transfer to your device like any other mp3, or even upload it to amazon and download from there.
Google Music removes the instant dl, but adds full mp3 quality sound.
You then can use any music app.

This is correct... The website allows 2 downloads of each song, presumably so you don't download it to all of your friends computers.
However, you will find the files under /data/data/com.google.android.music/files, but unfortunately the filenames are just numbers, again presumably because they don't want you to copy the songs. It will just be a pain to find which is which.
I just got a new Android TV/Nexus Player device. And was able to find other media apps either installed as soon as I set things up or via going to the Google Play Store app in the Android TV device. But I have not been able to find Netflix. And when I go to Google Play using a PC web browser, the page for the Netflix app says that Netflix is not compatible with my "No carrier Asus Nexus Player".
Anyone know why? I've searched here and been unable to find an answer so far. I know there's the ability to side load apps. But being new to Nexus Player, I'd just like to get Netflix quickly installed via Play Store if possible.
Any help is appreciated.
Worked with Netflix support. Did a hard reset and entered my Google credentials manually. And Netflix is there now.
Just setup my Nexus Player... same issue. Netflix is MIA on the device and Google Play Store says Nexus Player isn't compatible.
Can you provide a bit more detail on the fix Netflix gave you? Hard reset what? The NP? Manually entered Google credentials? Where? TIA.

Reset to factory settings
After you reset to Factory settings, the first thing on screen will be a prompt for Language/Region. Be sure you pick the correct one for where you are, since Netflix won't work with some selections. I don't know which don't work. Mine is "English US". After that, you'll be asked to setup your Google account. Which you can do via web browser or entering your Google ID/password manually on the Nexus Player. I entered my manually on the Nexus Player.
I've attempted resets and manually entering passwords, disabling location, enabling location and still no luck.
This is a brand new out of the box Nexus Player yet I cannot access Netflix due to it thinking I'm "out of region" or something.
Just got mine today and same problem. What I did was go to settings>apps (under the device menu). Under system apps, find Google play store and click it. Click force stop and OK it. Clear cache, then clear data. Click open and Netflix should be there.
Same problem.
try update your Nexus player to lolipop 5.1.1 in Setting > apps > About
go on the google play website and find Netflix compatible with android tv
Same problem; updated to 5.1.1, factory reset, updated all apps, still no Netflix available on Google Play.
So I downloaded the APK found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/netflix-apk-t3121671
and installed it. Worked perfectly.
It seems there are newer versions of the apk (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/) but I haven't tried it.
I don't have a micro USB adapter to use an external storage, so I placed the apk on a windows share in the network and pulled it with ES File Explorer on the Nexus Player.
You need to allow the installation of non-Play Store apps in Settings, Security.

Just grab the APK file somewhere legit. That's what I did when it didn't appear in the Play Store. Maybe you can even request it from them. I dunno.
So now with songza gone. I tried to using google play music on my Nexus player but it seems to be stuck on an old version. 5.9.1854R when the current version is 6.3.2317v. And I need that version to get the Songza playlist items that have now been incorporated into google play music.. but my nexus player will not update.. it tells me my old version is current. Any one else having this issue?
I have noticed the same thing. The only thing I was able to do to get the streaming playlists on the NP right now was to cast from Google Play Music on an Android device. Google should have planned this better.
Hmmm yea just realized this as well.
Ya I also just did a force install of the latest google play music APK and it just crashes when you open the program. Wonder when they will fix this...
Was coming on to post the same results.. Wonder if play services needs to be updated as well?
I just subscribed for a month and it showed up, so it seems to be just a paid service

songza features are free I can use them on my phone and tablet and even goto the website and use it like songza worked... for free.. Its just not working on the nexus player or Android TV interface.
I'm having the same problem. Works fine on all my other devices. I'm in Canada, in case this may be a regional thing.
My subscription expired. and access to the streaming gone as well
Hello guys
Try to clear cache and app data, worked for me. Using stock Android 7.0 and latest GPM version.
Can anyone correctly explain how Play Music cache works? I am having a hard time understanding how after streaming a song and listening to it completely on both wifi and data it does not show as being downloaded when choosing download only.
Not sure if this is what you mean but you have to actually select to download it OR add it to an auto download playlist, otherwise it does not officially download. It may be in local cache but not downloaded as far as the app is concerned.

"PlayMusic" is lame IMO. Amazon music actually let's you access downloaded files on your storage. Not in a unreachable system folder. Also when I uploaded my library to the google servers. They changed my songs to the edited versions. I was really p'd. It's been about 3 years now since, so things may be different, but Amazon has always worked the way I want it to.
I have Amazon Prime but will never use their music service. Even purchasing music from them digitally downloads at a crappy bit rate. Don't even want to imagine streaming from them.
