He wants to know why all this "free" music is clogging up his own picked collection of songs. It's annoying and not asked for and it'd be great to be able to turn it off and remove them.

Google = ad company = "free" stuff you don't necessarily want. Although spare a thought for those out side the US, where Google music is not available to be annoyed by, other than by the fact of its absence.

Um...some of those songs are good. =.3
But those are the free music. Google usually ask me if I want to add more free songs. In Music.Google.Com (because I still can type it lyk that) you have the option to delete the songs. It may seems lyk an impractical method to do delete them one at a time, but it's the only thing I can think of.
I just make playlist, so they really don't bother me. LoL!!

You can delete the songs from Google Play Music from your desktop.
Btw, it supports Ctrl and Shift-clicking, so you can kill off all the free songs at once

Google music is very easy to set up (in the UK). Once setup you can use it as in the US on all your devices (up to 10)

Yeah, and so long as this free crap doesn't contribute to our 20k limit, it's just digital clutter.
Making a playlist in the Google Music app is a breeze, just make a playlist. I just we had the option for making smart playlists in here like in iTunes (my smart playlists can't get uploaded either, and they're what I use most in iTunes).

Best music player

Hey guys just wondering what everyone is using for a music player? I am using winamp right now, but if there is a better one out there I'd gladly give it a test run
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Try poweramp. That's the one I use
+1 to poweramp
MortPlayer
PowerAMP is the single winner, no competition. Use it all the time with my Bluetooth stereo in my car. Sounds amazing and has great options and equalizer.

PowerAMP or bust. Just buy it, don't bother looking at other so-called "solutions".
Poweramp......although the player audiogalaxy uses is passable....of only it had an eq

Poweramp is good but if you don't want to pay to keep it then I'd recommended zimly which is free.

³ (Cubed) is the one i use most. Though i prefer the wall or morph flow view. the cube view is just kind of a gimmick

What's wrong with doubletwist?
If you have a large amount of organized, but badly tagged MP3's - Mortplayer is the way to go.
Its the only "Folder-based" music player I've found, yet.
I don't know about you, but I hate loading my MP3's into other apps only to find duplicate albums, albums with 1 song in them, 10 versions of the same artist because the tags differ in capitalization... Don't even get me started on my Electronica genre, adding it makes any list of artists or albums so unwieldy large its frustrating.
I do, however, organize my MP3's in a directory structure - so Mortplayer lets me browse the Genre folders and then pick artists to listen to.
+1 Poweramp! It just works!

Amazon cloud users here?

Been an avid user of the cloud for about 2 months, love it. Curious what others have experienced.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
used it...liked it...but got my google music beta account which has ALL of my music for free. so it goes without saying I use google music beta now. but Amazon was good while i used it
Hmmm...other than flac amzn can play everything I own...will chk it out
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I bought 100GB from Amazon and filled it with music (before the Gmusic beta) I use it all the time. In a year when thats up I may use Google instead. My biggest complaint with ACD is the lack of an iOS app, second is when i create a playlist in Android it doesnt carry over to the cloud.

Better music player than sense 3.0 one?

I kinda hate the UI on the thing, browsing for music is complicated to say the least.
What are other music player options available for android? I would prefer something free but if its a paid app I'm willing to pay for it.
Also some of my music has incorrect album info, any way to edit this on the phone manually?
Thanks guys
I use PlayerPro from the market. It's a paid app but well worth it. Very easy to navigate and you can edit the song tags in the app.
Can I edit stuff for example, I Have two songs from The Killers, one says the artist is TheKillers (without the space)?. This causes 2 different artists to pop up
Going to start reading some reviews.
I'll give another Hell YA on PlayerPro. No matter what rom i'm on i HAVE to have playerpro. its one of the apps that solidified my love for android and its customizability. PlayerPro is literally the PERFECT media player.
EDIT: and yes, you can edit all the info and tags on all your media very easily
sweet, going to download the trial when I get home later, may end up purchasing it
Poweramp is one of the best out there, unfortunately its paid
definitely worth it however
I use cloudskipper. It's free and has a built in equalizer and pretty sweet lockscreen controls

poweramp.. all the way! paid but well worth it. If the song has lyrics, it will scroll em. If you want it loud, use the preamp. If you want it REALLY LOUD, QPST mod!!!
Never heard ANY phone this loud!!!
PowerAmp is dope, been my fave since the day I loaded it. I'll have to check out Player Pro, looks clean.

+1 for PlayerPro.
I could tell you a million things that I love about it (and why I chose it over PowerAmp), but I'll let you try out the trial and decide for yourself.
The PlayerPro trial will play music past the seven days, but it loses functionality. Read the reviews for the paid one along with the trial - but take some of the trial reviews lightly, some people are using it past the trial period and it isn't working to its full potential.

soes anyone have a link to the qpst mod?
I like the defualt one
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I agree. I too have tried many of the music players and I kept going back to PowerAmp. Great music player. Lots of settings. Easy to use. The ability to sort by folder is awesome.
Google music beta is kinda cool. No issues so far. Even has search option. But no controls on lockscreen.

Google Music App messed up my music. What do??

So i uploaded all my itunes playlist songs to google music using music manager and then downloaded those songs into my nexus 4 using the google music app.
However there is a serious problem.
Some of the songs are completely different. Like i listen to a specific song and it plays some random song i have never ever heard of and not even remotely close to the song title.
Or some songs it plays a different version of the song... like the same song but by different artists even though i never had any of those songs in my computer.
And thirdly, even if some songs are the right songs, the swear words get censored!!! WTFF!!!! GOOGLE swapped my explicit music with some PG-rated retard music that censors every swear word even though the original song in my computer doesn't.
Why the hell is google messing with my songs and how can i stop it?
Bump. Album covers are also jumbled up.
Lol
Do you have issues using other music players too? Try Apollo.

No problem with Apollo because I have to directly transfer music on to it. But I lose all my playlists I made using iTunes which was transferred over in the same state by Google music. I can't play music on Apollo from Google music, none of the music I downloaded show up
First off watch the language.
Second android has issues with everything apple and that includes iTunes play lists and songs gotten with it. This was done on purpose by apple.

That makes no sense. I uploaded songs to Google music and when I downloaded them, how can some of them be completely different just because I used iTunes playlists?
Bump
You were given the explanation, and you reply "That makes no sense".
So I don't think bumping the thread will solve your problem. Might as well re-read zelendel's post.

why not just transfer the files directly onto your phone to avoid these syncing issues?

I dont think you can do that with google music and keep the same playlists.
please tell me if that is possible.
Although I do not personally know the correct answer to your question, I do believe whatever issues Android has with iTunes file format is only compounded by you trying to transfer play lists. Try the songs alone and see if that works first.

Have you tried doing it on a stock rom as from your sig you are using a CM rom. CM changes alot of the coding from what Google releases with the Nexus.

Certainly possible. Just copy all your music files/folders in a forlder named 'Music' on your sdcard. After that, the music app will pick all of them.
Souce: it works for me on my Nexus 4. :good:

You are making sure none of them are DRzm right as is states it will not work with files that have DRM.

That maybe part of your issue. As Google takes a strong stand against it. At this point at am out of suggestions. There is one with same device that has it working. And replied to this thread. So might need to see what the diff is.
You might have been better off not mentioning they were pirated as XDA doesn't condone pirated anything.

What app do you use to listen to music?

What app do you use to listen to your music?
The reason I am asking is because I am trying to find a good player. I currently have Apollo, but it picks up every single audio file it can find on the phone and I cannot limit to use a single folder.
Google music and poweramp.

Check out Gonemad Music Player, I've tried a lot and this suits me, you can browse by artist, album - and folder. All very easily, all the controls are intuitive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gonemad.gmmp
For a slightly more off the wall approach, with very good audio, try Xenoamp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822492

Xenoamp looks promising, but a bit much for what I need and the UI, in my opinion feels clunky as it is right now.
I think I will go with Poweramp. Seems to offer everything I need.

I've bought PowerAMP. It's a very good app, which is full of functions and a lot customisable. I think the best one!
Give a try to the free one and i'm sure you will buy it then!!
