I'm trying to download the music from my nexus 4 to my computer. How do I go about doing this? I know doubletwist doesn't work with the Nexus, so what are some other solutions?
Usb?

Why not just plug it in, open the folder on the SD card, and copy and paste what you want?
also, you can upload all your music to googles play music service, then you can access it via your computer(listen and/or download).

You might be able to find them using TouchXplorer.

Hello guys,
I have music on my nexus but when I go on the music app it says that there is no music and I need to connect to the CPU USB. So I now have to use explore to listen to music. How can I fix the music app?

Did you create a "Music" folder on the sd card to put the music files in? If not, do that and put your music in that folder.

Hi Guys,
I have searched the forum for possible answers to my problem, but couldn't find any satisfing answer.
I have uploaded all my music to Google Music, but as I only have 1GB of mobile data in my plan, and no WiFi at work, I decided to save some of my albums on my internal storage, so I can play it offline.
There is an option called "Choose on device music" which when you choose it, saves the files to make them available offline, but the problem is I can't find it anywhere on my device.
I have found possible locations in Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache - this is what google search gave me, but there is nothing in that folder. I have used the ES File Explorer with root roghts, as I thought, maybe its hidden somehow, but the result was exactly the same.
Could anyone pleas help me and tell me where the music stored from Google Music is located? And how does it exactly work? Does it simply download all the files you choose to your storage?
My temporary solution was just simply copying the music from my laptop using the USB cable.
Thanks in advance.
When you pin it to your device you play it right from the Google play music app. There is an option for on device music only in the settings menu, use this when you want to see your downloaded music.

Yes,I know that, but my problem is, I'd I make it available offline then I need to wait for it to download and I'm wondering what it's the location of the downloaded files, because the one that I mentioned in the OP doesn't seem to be right.I'm also suffering it's the music made available offline takes as much since on the device as the same music chipped straight from my pc.

What exactly are you wanting to do? I guess I don't understand why you need to know where its stored. I'm not trying to be a wise guy.

check this path. And musics are randomly numbered.

I would like to remove it when not needed anymore and also other music players can't find those stored albums.

Hey guys I was wondering what is the best way to get all my music from my galaxy s3 onto my Nexus 7. I have over 200 songs and don't want to re download them all and was wondering what's the easiest method to get the from my s3 to my nexus 7 thanks!
Find a PC and copy them onto your N7!
Try Google Music! Just upload all your songs and play it on both devices. Works great for me.

Hmmm Im trying I cant seem to get it to work.
And when I try dragging my music files from my s3 to nexus 7 it always says it wont play try again or skip.
Wifi File Explorer to transfer wirelessly. USB OTG cable and either flash drive or card reader with card to physically copy. Mount the s3 via USB to your computer, copy files to PC, mount Nexus via USB and copy files from computer. There are more ways I'm sure. I didn't suggest Bluetooth because its too slow.

Hi,
I cannot find this through the search function on this Nexus 4 forum, although it is very weird.
I have downloaded (with my browser) several MP3 music files (from the web and from my own dropbox) to my Nexus 4 phone.
I can play them by clicking them from a file manager and choosing Google music player to complete the action.
But ... they do not show up in the Google music player. Neither do they show up in a few other music players I have installed (and removed again).
There are two exceptions:
- All music files do show up in the built in music player of the ES File Manager.
- I have set one downloaded MP3 as the standard ringtone on my phone. That file shows up in any music player.
What do I do wrong? Why does a downloaded MP3 not show up in a music player, unless I set it as my standard ringtone?
I live in a country where the Google Play Music store is not supported. But the ringtone-mp3 does not come from there!
Did you move the songs to your music folder?

I have the exact same problem. I have also moved the files to my Music folder!

Make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in that folder

But one thing that i thought was very weird was that, if i added an other song, it would show up...

That is right! Just after I added them, I could see them! Very weird.
And yes, I moved them to the Music folder, but the ringtone I use (also a downloaded mp3) is still in the downlosd folder, and I can nevertheless see it.
A ".nomedia" file is hidden. You would need to have show hidden files enabled to see it.
[SOLVED] Use MTP from your Pc / laptop
Well, the problem has solved itself for me in the following way:
I am an Ubuntu user, and I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 yesterday evening.
Ubuntu (Lubuntu, Kubuntu etc.) 13.04 supports the MPT protocol Google wants us to use with our Nexus 4 'out of the box'.
I have read that Windows should do so too, but I cannot check that.
You connect your Nexus 4 to your PC or laptop and choose MTP (Media Tranfer Protocol) as the protocol to transfer files (I believe your phone chooses the other protocol by default). You do this from the notification area (where your notifications for new mail and app updates also appear).
Then you can copy music files from your PC / laptop to your phone to any directory in your phone. I suggest the Music directory. And, surprise, surprise, if you do it that way, the music files also appear in your Google Music Player!
The strange thing is, however, that you cannot transfer music files from your phone to your PC. It is a one-direction traffic. You also cannot delete files on your phone from your connected PC.
So if you want to make the invisible files on your phone visible in your Google music player, you have to delete them on the phone (from a file manager on the phone). I would copy them to Dropbox first, however. Then get them on your pc / laptop (by downloading them from Dropbox e.g.) and then copy them through the USB cable from you pc / laptop back to your phone. Strange, but that is how it works!
Do I understand this strange procedure? No, but it works. Enjoy!

Negative! For me, using Windows 8 Pro x64. It works just fine using MTP, the only problem I am having is making folders. Then Windows Explorer crashes.
On Linux on my laptop (Linux Mint 14), i use ADB, which works just fine.
I only have this problem with two mixes from Never Say Die Records. But other songs works just fine...
