I move my music folder to a new location and for the life of me I cannot change the music app to the new location. I try clear data and clear cache and that does not work.. Anyone know?

Have you tried to uninstall and re-install "Google Play Music" from the market?
Otherwise go to Settings > Apps and clear App Data
Tried to do both( uninstall updates and clear data) however is not working

Connect phone to a PC and check for music and artwork cache folders under Android folder.
Remove them, disconnect phone, restart phone and try again.
Is the music on the phone, or in the cloud?
My music is in the storage. Ill try that method when i get home

I think the folders are;
Internal Storage\Android\data\com.google.android.misic
Internal Storage\Android\data\com.android.providers.media\albumthumbs
If you still have issues, then move (not copy) all the Music files to your PC and check the ID3v2 tags in Windows Media Player or iTunes.
Some tag editors may change more than just the album art. Fix them there, then move them back, or get a Google Music account and upload them to the cloud. You can edit the tags in the cloud with a desktop browser as well. I have more than 11,000 songs in the cloud and less issues than when I only kept a small number on my phone.
Also its label .mpga instead of .mp3

Yesterday I was looking at my storage usage, play music had over 500mb of data. I cleared data and it went down to 12mb. Checked again today and there's 200mb in there. I hadn't even opened it since I cleared data. Wtf is it doing in the background? I'm guessing it's downloading music to the device, because it's killing my data also, but it's not downloading it to any obvious folder. I don't see any settings to control this, typical of a google app the settings are quite minimal. I haven't selected any songs to be pinned to the device either.

Don't sync your Google Music and it will not use quite as much. When you do Sync the music file get stored in /data/data/com.google.android.music in the files folder. ....

Word. I never used the sync feature even though I had it set up, so I just deleted everything from my play library. I'm on the all access trial. Any song I can stream from my library I can stream from Google, so why bother.
Thanks :thumbup:

There's a modified google music apk floating around which let's you save the music to any directory (thus offloading it onto an SD card potentially).
Make sure you hit the "on device" setting so it doesn't stream everything and kill your data

Play music is at it again. 510mb of data nowhere to be found. Luckily whatever it's doing, it did on wifi this time. I can't find anything in any location. No songs, nada. I'm close to deleting it and canceling my subscription.

You did say you were streaming right?
Use Greenify and make it hibernate while not in use

I haven't been streaming much, and when I do it's on wifi. This is app data not cellular data.
I unchecked sync google play music, automatic caching in the app, and cleared all data and it hasn't downloaded anything to my internal storage in two days. If I could contact google about it I would, because it downloaded 500mb of something to my phone over 4g, and that ain't right.

Yeah I checked mine too and it had over 800 megabytes of data also I just froze it I'm not going to deal with it until I get it fixed or either I will revert to the old one

Make sure you've disabled the option that automatically caches streamed music locally.
I would like to create a ringtone however any song I purchased on Google music is not available on my storage. Any way I can access it so I can create one?

Look through your files with a file managing app and move it to a mother music folder. I don't know if you'll even find it because I haven't tried. But I'd like to know a 100 percent legit option too

No luck with that bud

you need to be rooted and need a file browser that can access root folders
got to data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
they don't have proper names or date accessed info so if you have lots of files like me... good luck

You can download google music manager on your pc and download your library. Then copy and paste to your s4. If you look for the songs in root explorer they show up as numbers if I remember right.

Find the song in your music player and click the pin button beside it.
That saves it to your phone. Done.
If you want use an app to make it a ringtone make sure you have root and use root explorer or anything root capable file explorer and navigate to data -> data -> com.google.android.music -> files -> music -> (artist/album)
Copy that file to your default Music folder that doesn't require root and wella any ringtone app should be able to find it.
OR
do as someone else suggested and download it to to your computer from Google Play Music then manually copy it over
I have some albums on my eternal sd and it's not showing them in the player pro app.
I've tried the suggested solution of clearing the data and cache but it's still working? any ideas.

Have you rescan or select the folder that the albums are in?
I have and I can get them to play thro the player but then when I re start the app they are not there and I have to do it all over again. Plus it doesn't show album covers either.
