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..

Ok, I've had my HD since feb and always found the touchflo3d music player a little buggy but after getting a couple of problems which i put down to having over 700 tracks in my music folder, I decided to delete all of my music, delete the wmdrms folder and started from scratch. I only put about 50 tracks on and when i go to the music player it searches for some time and says no music found. i tried updating the library in the windows media player app but although this states that it has found hundreds of music files the app crashes while searching. every time i go to look at the library from the TF3D music player, all the info is for the music I had before I deleted it all from the card!?
Any ideas peeps?
Sorted!
deleted the HTC audio manager files and rebooted.
I have search the forums and not found what I'm looking for so I will start a thread.
I just used Google play to purchase a album and I selected the download to device option so I wouldn't have to deal with any storage in the cloud. the issue is when I scan folders for new music or using the power amp app, it cannot find this new music. I have used root explorer and can not find the folder Google play placed my purI feel pretty stupid starting a thread for this but any help would be appreciated
Sorry, but when you purchase music from Google Play you have to use their app to play it back, which is Play music. I do not believe there is an option to download your music, because it is a cloud based service. Amazon mp3 is the same thing as google play music, but you have the option to download your music rather than only stream it, which is much better imo.

I was afraid this is what I would find out. I normally purchase my music from Amazon via the download function. Kinda pissed I made the purchase now and can't burn a copy of it for the CD player in the car.
He is correct, can "only" be played via the Google Music app, but there is a work around. Amazon does let you download instantly, but music is 260kbs, Google is 320kbs. You can download your google Music on your pc and manually transfer to your device like any other mp3, or even upload it to amazon and download from there.
Google Music removes the instant dl, but adds full mp3 quality sound.
You then can use any music app.

This is correct... The website allows 2 downloads of each song, presumably so you don't download it to all of your friends computers.
However, you will find the files under /data/data/com.google.android.music/files, but unfortunately the filenames are just numbers, again presumably because they don't want you to copy the songs. It will just be a pain to find which is which.
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'

I don't remember uploading any music to google play music. How can I delete them?

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!
So, I'm having a rather annoying issue here. I have a very large iTunes library and I bought the 128GB version so I could fit all 35gb of music on my phone without running out of space. The problem is that it shows there is 35gb of audio files in storage but when I open my music player app (currently using shuttle) and select play all songs, it only shows there as being 2,492 songs in the list (thats just a little more than half of the over 4K songs in my music library). So basically I'm missing out on almost half of my music when I go to shuffle and I can't figure out why. There is nothing I can find on the music player forums or on the phone forums for this. Does anyone know why?? Halp

Did you rescan your media library? - This needs to be done for the phone to detect any changes since plugging in via usb
Are all your songs the same format? - This is important if some are different formats the phone may not necessarily pick them up

Interestingly enough, it shows all the songs in Poweramp which I think is weird... They both support the same file types.. I'm wondering if it's some sort of thing that all players have that limits the amount of songs shown in the queue
Good morning everyone.
Hope your all having a fantastic day.
This is more of a general android quesiton i suppose rather then a pixel 4. but being brand new to #teampixel thought i would ask.
while i have spotify and dont plan to use music on my phone to often, nice to have for them data black spots.
So i am gonna transfer over a few albums, just wondering what apps you are all using to manage albums and art work?
And then where are you putting your music on the device? surely i shouldn't just dump everything into the downloads folder.
Thank you for your time in reading this post, and hope your able to help.
Kind regards
Liam
You can use a simple Music Player Aimp / Poweramp ... Foobar
I copy the files to the Music folder from my PC.
Even though Google play music is being discontinued this year I'm still using it over YouTube music. I can access my music library on my computer and on my phone. Works great with Android auto too.
Hey there,
just use the preinstalled "YT Music" App. There you can manage your YouTube music and your local music, it also supports the "Motion Sense".
Regards,
Sebastian
