Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Unless you pin music, eventually old music gets deleted even when there's ton of space on the phone.
If you have the actual files just download them to your phone and they will always be there.
Otherwise:
1. There is an option if you go into google play music settings to auto-download music
2. If you go into the music library, click on a playlist and you'll see a download icon in between the album covers and the actual song list

Can somebody explain how you delete songs off the music tab in touchflo 3d?
Ok, it appears the songs cause an exclamation mark if you delete them.
Just go to the music tab, library, songs and play another song.
The old playlists and views with exclamations will magically be gone.
You can delete songs using file explorer.
The way music is managed on touchflo is truly abysmal, it's even worse tahn music management in itunes.
I put some music on my phone, but I only selected certain tracks. For example, I picked 4 songs from an album and it shows ALL the songs that I have from that artist in my phone and they're all playable. I plug in my nexus 4 and check the music folder and it only has the 4 songs that I put in there. I don't use any sort of clouds either.

In that case, Google play music will show you all of the music that you've uploaded to your account, regardless of whether or not it's physically on your phone. So if you have the full album uploaded to play music, then you'll see the full album on your phone. If you want to play songs that aren't physically on your phone, it will stream them over the internet from play music.
You can hide music that's not on your phone if you go into the play music app, tapp the arrow next to 'All Music' at the top left, and select 'On Device Only'

Go to http://play.google.com/music on a pc. You can see what you've got there and delete them if you want.
By the way, you Google gives you some free music when you buy a Nexus 4, so that might be what you see uploaded there. I think I had about a dozen songs that Google added to my play music account for free.
Once you delete any music file from your Google play account, it makes it permanent. So make sure that you don't delete anything you paid for, because if you do, then you will have to buy it again. It doesn't work like apps where you buy it and if you delete it you can always re-download it again. If you delete paid music from your Google play account, then its permanent delete. I found that the hard way!
I recently upgraded to the newest version of Google Play Music for the All Access feature, but I've found that the app is having trouble playing music that I have on my phone, whether it is cached from the app or added manually.
The first song of an album or playlist will play, but the app displays a "Music playback error : Couldn't play the track you requested" whenever the app tries to move to the next track. This doesn't happen to streaming music strangely, only music I've cached or loaded from my computer.
Is anyone else having this issue? Let me know if you're able to reproduce this or not. I've tried re-installing the app, clearing the cached music and data, all to no avail.
I really want to love this app with its new layout, but not being able to properly play back local music is a huge issue.
BTW my phone is rooted, not sure if that's going to be an issue or not.
Just recently I made the switch from Google Play Music to a third party player and put all my music onto the phone. Everything seemed to work fine until I realized random songs here and there aren't being detected by any music player I have, or they are detected but are shown with some crazy length (sometimes even negative) and will just sit at the 0:00 mark. I've verified the files are formatted as MP3s and all so I have no clue what the issue might be.
I have a similar issue. The default tones in the "Notifications" or "Ringtones" folders will show in Google Play Music. No other music in any other folders show up.
Basically, I can listen to all the default notifications and Ringtones in any music app, no other music in any other folders (or even the defaults for notifications and ringtones) show in any music app, and I've tried many. I can view and play them using Root Browser even though I don't have root, but I can't play them in a music app at all.
Hi all,
After copying my music files (mp3) to my OP8Pro I can't seem to get them showing in the YT Music or Google Play Music app. Once I opened them from file manager they will show....
With over 1000 songs it's no use opening them one by one to get them showing within the music app. Does anyone have a clue how to get them showing all at once?
I did the same and on Google music they show up automatically and YouTube music it's under local files I think

Just get the best music player there has ever been on Android.
Poweramp, absolutely no equal. And of course it'll allow library editing amongst other features, definitely worth buying the pro version too, it's a great app..
