Anyone know where Play Music is stored when offline?

Would like a way to change what music I have offline, app didn't seem to have a way...

I believe that they are located in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

and it totally sucks that you can't move it to external Sd card.

Technically there isn't supposed to be am external sd card these days, android only looks at the internal memory for app storage and what not... At least it does now

I guess it could be updated or nodded to look in both places but the mount points would be impossible to keep up with

Would it be possible to make the directory listed a symlink to a folder on the external sd card? Just a thought, I don't actually use my phone enough for music for it to be a concern to me.

The new update put my offline cache in /data/data/com.google.android.music/cache
Previously it was on sdcard/android/com.google.android.music/cache
If you are wanting to import the files. It strips the id3 tags so you will need something like "offline music importer" from the play store. And go back to the system app version of play music

The biggest problem with this is how samsung names the partitions, they when with sd card for internal and external sd card for sd card, so apps just looks for Sd cards, that's my biggest problem with this phone since I have 64 gb sd card, at least it less you saves pictures on sd card

I have my play music on my ext sdcard.
I had to do it in a round about way but it worked.
I downloaded all my music to PC and then copied all the folders onto my microsd.
When I put the micro SD in my phone, play music found it and was somehow smart enough to not double the albums (play music store and mp3s on card).
Hope this helps!

Playing music/creating playlist off Flashdrive

To save space I want to have my music in a flash drive. I can play individual songs but I want to know if there is way or an app that can shuffle songs that are on my flash drive if I have a folder with music only?

The only player that works with your requirement that I have tried is Poweramp. Winamp, etc. won't scan attached usb drives even though it is mounted inside /sdcard. Kind of weird I think. Will try jetaudio later when I get to my flash drive.

Jet audio will not scan flash drive

so far so good
Power Amp seems to work. I'm going to use a different flash drive and see what music it sees and see if the it saves the music on the device or not.

Is there any way to get music to show up when on SD card?

I want to keep my music on the micro SD card to play on my phone, however the music player does not see these files. Is there any way to get the music player to see the files on my SD card to play on the phone? This was I don't need to waste part of the 12.05GB usable space for music.

I've no problem with mine showing up. I believe I had to reboot before they did, or maybe even reload the widget, but they're all showing in my player widget.

Playlist showing 0 songs after few days...

Not sure what is going on but my playlists turn to zero songs after few days, be it Google music player or third party player!
Is it my micro SD card ? Nothing that I notice songs play fine ...
