Is there a quick and easy way to mark all songs on my Google Music account to download directly to my device? I want to use wifi if that matters. The only way I can see is to go one song at a time, which will take hours.
Seems the only way is to download to my computer then transfer using a USB cable. Defeats the whole cloud thing.
Is there a "select all, make all available for offline" or something like that on the phone?
Unfortunately, I think the largest grouping is by artist. I think the reason they don't have an "all" option is because many peoples library exceeds their storage capacity. Mine is at 9200 songs.
I don't like the way Google music allows me to store locally. I have 18500 tracks on a nas, and I like using it to share between all my devices. Consoles, phones, PC's. Google music doesn't even name or tag the tracks properly when you sync down making it a ridiculous chore to pull them off the phone. I'm continuing to use Amazon mp3 for now.

If you make a Playlist, you can then select the entire Playlist to download. Best way I've found to download multiple songs at one time

I installed Spotify on my Nexus today and whenever I try to listen to a song I just get a "INFO" box that is blank. I checked the settings and it's configured to sync over 3G and Wifi, but not 4G. Could that be an issue?
This is the first time using spotify so im not sure if thats a new issue or if I misconfigured
turn 4g of on your phone and try again.
it should work fine, the app is ICS compatible

how do I turn off 4G, and why dont they make it work on 4G =D
I would uninstall and reinstall the spotify app. I play music over 4g all the time. The syncing options are for syncing your playlists offline so they don't effect how your stream music.

+1 for reinstalling Spotify.
That did it for me
Is it possible to do this:
Tag a song I hear in the car with Shazam
Use the option to listen in spotify
download the song to my phone over spotify
set the download directory to my google music folder so it automatically syncs with my home pc?
When you download music in spotify, you don't actually get an mp3...spotify keeps it separate so that it's available to listen to offline through spotify, but isn't available to distribute (anti-piracy measures). It's also how they assure you keep paying for spotify (you can't keep an offline song for more than 30 days without "checking in" to spotify by going online.
that sucks! Any good apps to actually pull down the mp3?
Random Reboots?
Has anyone else experienced random reboots while listening to Spotify?
I have synced a large number of playlists for offline play (over 4G), but now almost half the time I am using Spotify my GNex does a reboot at some point while listening to Spotify music.
I haven't verified if this issue deals with local (non streamed) music in general, because I only have a handful of local MP3s stored on the phone (was planning on using Spotify for most of my music needs). To be clear, this is not a streaming issue - all of the tracks and playlists I am listening to have already been synced to the phone.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Am I the only one experiencing this . . . ?

This whole post is kind of nonsensical because you don't have access to the Spotify music as an mp3 and there's no such concept as setting a "download directory" in Spotify. As well, Google Music on your phone won't ever upload music to sync with the cloud. The only music that gets synced/uploaded to the cloud is through the Music Manager application on your desktop computer. The Google Music app is simply for accessing / playing the music / making them available offline.

I didnt realize you cant save the mp3s,i guess if i could i could "save" them to my dropbox account which would sync them to my own desktop. I was hoping to be able to hear a song in the car, tag it with shazam, download and have it on my home computer. Ah well
I have about 25gb of MP3's on my computer and only 10gb of space left on my GN. Anyone know of an app for the computer or GN that will randomly pick x number of songs or x number of gigabytes of music, then copy them to my GN?

Not sure of any app specifically, but might i suggest using google music as then you'd be able to have all your music available to you where you have a data connection?

MediaMonkey can do this sort of thing, like iTunes does with iPods and iPhones. It can sync your library and remove songs and replace them based on various criteria.
As an alternative to Gmusic I would like to recommend Amazon MP3 for the serious mp3 hoarder. UNLIMITED music storage $20/year. I have over a terabyte of music so this is a must for me, lol like I said I'm a hoarder. Been collecting for 15+ years.
I should clarify...right now I use Google Music to stream my MP3's. I am trying to watch my data usage though, so I am trying to find an alternative.
I think MusicBee can do this or at least something similar. In addition to being a really good player/music manager overall.
Try Winamp for Android.
When you get in on your desktop too and install the Android-app you can sync it over wifi. Additionally you can tell winamp to "fill your device" with random music or music with.
This is going to be my 4th time re-syncing my entire music library, which has almost 800 songs. I have been using DoubleTwist AirSync since I got my phone almost a month ago.
First time, the music from my old phone wasn't being recognized in my music players, so I had to manually put in all of my songs(I don't put all of the music from my computer on because it has my brother's music as well.)
Second time, a lot of my album artwork was missing. For some reason, not all of the songs from an album would be grouped together either.
Third time, happened this morning when my music suddenly wasn't being recognized. By lunch time, I noticed that all of my music was deleted from my phone.
I manually had to put all 800 songs onto my phone each time which took 3 hours last time I checked. That's because syncing through Wi-Fi is slow sometimes, and whenever I sync through DoubleTwist, my internet stops working for any other device or computer. I really wish I could put in music through USB. I'm putting all of my music onto my 32gb Sandisk microSD card by the way. I am using an iMac to sync all of my music also.
What should I do? Are there any other applications I can use, and does anyone know why this is happening? This is my only regret for not buying an iPhone 5. I am seriously pissed off because it's wasting so much of my time!
Why not just use Google Music Manager? It will upload all of your music to Google Play, then back down to your phone if you choose. You can either stream as you go, or flag the music you want to store locally. Manage your library from within iTunes and the Music Manager takes care of the rest. Access your music from the Play Music app.

I've flashed a ton of ROMs and never lost my music.... put it in extsdcard and use power amp to use the folder with your music for your library....

I have over 3,000 songs on Google Music that I stream regularly. Art work gets wonky sometimes on new uploads but once I got it all situated, its good.

I have a 64gb card filled with FLACs of stuff I gotta hear 1:1 reproductions of, and have close to 200 albums on google music. Double flip sync twist whatever is junk.
I just put a bunch of music on my phone with Kies Air. I am having some issue with the USB driver not working any more.
It worked fine though. I moved all the music files to the folder that had the rest of the music in it. Are you sure they're going to the right folder?
What file formats are you using?
Why can't you use USB? (could be same issue I had, but with a Mac, but I can't know). Can you use a USB card reader or otherwise to access the external sd separately?
I moved the music with ES File Explorer after Kies put them on internal storage. They didn't show up at fist, but restarting the app fixed it.
It might be good to organise your music on your computer, too - make separate folders for you and your brother.

Use Google music. Yes, the app itself is not as featured as others, but if you use a good sound mod like awesome beats or Sony its worth it

Kies doesn't work on my iMac.
Regarding Google Music, does anyone know where the music is actually stored when you save it to your device from the Play Music app? I can't find the folder for it, and I need to fix a few albums.
Google Music is good if you can stream, but I've had issues with it and went back to the stock music player app and playing from sd card.
Kies Air is browser-based, it just needs java - I don't see why it wouldn't work on OSX.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I was using the application version before. But the browser-based Kies requires Java 7 to upload multiple files at once, and I'm on OSX 10.6.8, which only has support for Java 6 apparently.
So does anyone know where music is stored if you are getting it from Google Play? Music from Google only shows up in the Play Music app, which is very buggy for me currently, and I hate being locked down to one app. It isn't in any default music folder, so if anyone has any info, please feel free to chime in.
I don't think it's stored on the phone (aside from what's cached), just streamed, unless you've specifically made it available offline.
Check these out for information on that and how to : http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1250232 , http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1248950
Yeah, I meant when I've specifically made songs available offline. I think it's stored in the app itself though. I looked at the Play Music app under the App Manager, and it had like 8gb of data.
Easiest and fastest app I've ever used. Put your music in a playlist on itunes and just sync that particular playlist. Syncs my 5 gigs in 10 minutes.

Hello friends.
I just downloaded spotify on my samsung galaxy S20 +. but I have a problem using spotify, I don't know how to download songs from spotify to my samsung galaxy20 +. Does anyone know how to download music to my Samsung no?
Thank you for helping me
I can only download playlists not albums or songs, but also a great app to download most music is fildo Web page is fildo.net
Google Pandora Unlimited skips apk and download it and when you "like" a song it will download to your phone music app
Open Spotify, select the gear icon, go all the way down before the Log out and select Storage. Select there where you want you music to be dowloaded, to the phone or SD memory card.
Next, return to main screen, and select the Your Library tab at the bottom. There you will see your playlists, Select each one. Then on the top right side, you will see three dots, select it and then select Download. It should start downloading the songs to the phone or SD card where you selected previously.

If you have subscribed to Spotify Premium, you are allowed to download music using its app.
But if you are a Spotify free user, I recommend you to download music to desktop first and later transfer them to your Samsung Galaxy. It's quite easy with the help of Audfree Spotify Music Converter. This way you will be able to listen to music offline in a stable way.

Thanks for sharing! I am using the Spotify free account,so there is many limitation,I will download the free trial Spotify Music Converter that you recommend firstlydo you know another Spotify Music Converter Tunelf? My friend recommend me before but I still don't know how is that.
Hi,
With Spotify Premium account, you can easily download Spotify songs using Spotify app and listen to them on your Galaxy device. I've used it for several months, but recently I found it always shows error when I using Spotify. My friend told me another easy way to get Spotify songs, that is, using a third-party Spotify music downloader such as TunesKit Spotify Converter. Then I can easily download Spotify music and save as MP3 format. By doing so, I can get any Spotify tracks, playlists, albums and download them for playing on any device as I like.
