I haven't been able to find a way to tell Google Music to use my SD card for downloading/ cacheing music.
Is there anything I can do to get Google Music to use my SD card for music storage?

You can use Rom Toolbox to create a shortcut of the directory you want music to be stored to in the /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/ folder. Make sure you rename the shortcut "music"

I have about 20GB of music in my iTune. Now just realised that my Samsung Galaxy S internal storage is too small for that. Therefore I think it must be stored on external storage card.
I've just downloaded a program called doubletwist. I have a few questions:
1) How do I turn on mass storage mode on SGS so that doubletwist can see it?
2) How do I tell doubletwist that I want the music to go to storage card instead of internal storage?
3) Has anyone of you experience problem when music is on storage card, such as skipping of part of songs?
4) Is it a better idea to scale down my music collection so that it fits into internal memory?
TIA.
Just wondering, can't you just copy the music files into a folder you call, let's say, music on your SD card, and start up the samsung music player? It'll recognize the files and let you play them.
Or is there any special reason for you to use DoubleTwist?

What is format of SD Card? What is format of songs. I have a large amount of music on removable SD card and music app sees it all. Try exploring music and select a song on removable card to play. should open player, which might help.
I also have this issue and more..

I have the keyboard and the sd card is using the standard 32bit format. music is in the media folder copied from my hts desire, same as pictures and movies.
All of which work on the desire but are not visable through any of the default installed apps, I have also installed various free apps which again do not show the files.
I can play them seperatly via file explorer and they play properly but do not stay in the history.
Contacted Asus who suggested that I clear the apps cache via settinges/ applications etc.
Tried that several times including reboot before opening apps and no joy.
Also having the issues with google maps downloaded and cached maps. only work on internal memory.
Not rooted yet but depending on these issues will either root or return.
The media services will only recognize internal memory and /mnt/sdcard.
You have to move any music/videos/pictures manually into internal memory or sd card.
The Music app and gallery find the stuff on my Micro SD without a problem.
Is there a way to save my google play music that is stored on my device to an external SD card without having root? For the life of me i can not find the music files in any file manager....I see people have posted paths to the music but my folder is always empty....so basically can I save my google play music to an external sd card without root?
Just download your music collection and move it to an SD card if that's what you want to do.

Go to MyFiles app and go to device storage, long press on music folder and choose move, now move it to sd memory card
Also once done hit menu and go to settings, there you will choose to redirect music to your extsdcard so from now on every song you add will go to your extsd

The Music folder on MyFiles app maps to /storage/emulated/0/music
Google music however stores the files at root/data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music/
So I'm not sure that moving that folder would do the trick
@op - I don't think you can do that without root

That's where I get mine too. But I have to use Root Explorer.
It would be neat to see a non root method to access those files from the original directory source.
And speaking of directory source, I hate Sony Unlimited app. I can't seem to find where my 320 aac songs are. Blah.
I believe I did this, with the Moment or whatever phone I had before the S3.
I now have an S4 (ATT).
I don't want to stream all the time and keep my music on the phone for when at the gym.
There used to be a guide on how to make the offline music in Google Play download to the SD Card and not internal, but I can't find it now for some reason.
Anyone know how to force the Google Music App to put offline music to the SD Card?
I've read a few threads here, but cannot find an answer.
Is there any way for Google Play on my S8 to play my music off my sd card? I have about 80gb stored on my sd card, and don't want to load it into the phone.
If not, is there any music player app that does? I've been reading so many blogs/threads with no joy! Thanks
Using Samsung Music for playing from SD card without issues.
as above or my personal favourite player is "PlayerPro" just make playlists from your SD card contents
Play music plays off the SD card on my device. I have it set to downloaded only.
