having trouble with adding songs from my library to offline , i click on some songs and it doesnt have a option to add to offline library.
Also where are all the offline songs stored, what if I want to delete my stored songs , how do i do that?
Through the google music app. Select the song or album you want, long press-add instant mix. Then go to the instant mix-menu-make available offline.

Is anyone else having problems sharing a song public on Google+ from the Google Music App?

where are the offline songs stored? interesting question??
Music files are stored here:
Sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music/cache/music
I have been trying to figure a way to make use of this because it would be nice if there were other music apps that could take advantage of these songs but have had no luck.

PowerAmp lets you select which folders to scan for music, so selecting the cache folder for Google Music makes those songs available to PowerAmp. And PowerAmp really is one of the best music apps available. I wish Google would release APIs making our cloud-stored music available to any app that uses them.

can somebody explain a way to do this? take out the m3u file from an itunes playlist so that my music on my galaxy nexus is organized..
Have you checked into DoubleTwist? I think that does what you're looking for.
Can you explain the problem a bit more? I just copy over my music and the Music app sorts it by artist, album, etc for me. (Actually it pulls it all from Google Music... uploaded all my music as soon as Google Music came out.)
DoubleTwist will pull in your playlists from iTunes and sync them with your phone. You'll need to use the DoubleTwist player on your phone too, though.
iSyncr with the Wi-Fi add on works great

I use wifi tunes sync server from the marketplace, works great
Google Music supports playlists from iTunes and WMP.

I recommend this also. I was using iOs for years and had setup smart playlists based on ratings. iSyncr and its widget work well to keep that going.

Ditto on Google Music. The music manager automatically uploads your music (even adjusted music - album covers, renames, etc) as well as any playlists you make in itunes. That's the way I do it. Requires no effort at all.

this requires data if streaming and i dont think the music quality would be the same when uploading to google music and then downloading it back to the phone
theres no way of just taking a playlist from itunes and uploading it to your phone then taking the m3u file and just adding it to the same folder?
no, iTunes sync is DRM encrypted so you cant do it directly from what I understand.
You can try finding a PC based app but iSyncr is cheap and works great. It has a PC only app.
You could import your library to Winamp or other player and directly sync also.
Maybe you can fool iTunes into thinking your phone is a data disc and import music that way but that sounds like a lot of work.

I run into this... 90% of my library transferred to Google Music okay, the other 10% (especially my Lonely Island albums) is DRM protected and short of burning them to a CD I have yet to find something that will remove it on them. Doubletwist doesn't even see them (I put them all into a playlist by themselves)... More reasons to hate Apple (but applaud their ability to monopolize and make money)...
Needless to say, I haven't bought anything from iTunes since summer so I can avoid this...

As some others in this thread have already stated, the iSyncr app available in the Android Market can do what you want. It allows you to see all the playlists you currently have in iTunes and select which ones you want to import onto your Android-based phone. After you've selected which playlists you want it will sync them (and the relevant song files) to your phone. After that your music app of choice on your phone should be able to see the playlists.
I use an iMac at home with iTunes and have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and use the above scenario all the time to sync my playlists from iTunes to my GNex.
I use Google Music but if you want to sync your iTunes library or playlists, double twist is definitely the way to go. And it DOES play fine with the default Music app, it just mirrors your iTunes music folder to your phones music folder, which the stock Music app scans.

Sync with Google Music over Wifi, no data required when playing offline music.
Google Music doesn't do any transcoding if your music is in MP3 format. If it's in other formats it will do transcoding.
The Android Music player supports .m3u playlists, so you can export your playlists from iTunes in .m3u format, then copy the playlist to your phone in the same folder hierarchy, and the media scanner will then read the playlist.
Nevermind i found a way, isyncr wasnt working out for me on my mac (playlists werent showing up, music was getting deleted.. etc..) so i got this app from the mac app store called Playlist Export and it works great. Heres the link http://www.ericdaugherty.com/apps/playlistexport/

Wait, you have to pay to export your playlists from iTunes? It doesn't have that function built-in?

^ I think the app is free, so not AS bad. But this whole MTP thing is rough for Mac owners. I've been trying for a while to figure out a free way to get my girlfriend's playlists from her macbook to her GNexus.
I'm going to give that app a shot later today, but if anyone has any other good ideas (other than the wifi add-ons for iSyncr and DoubleTwist), let me know. I'd appreciate it.
actually, itunes supports m3u now.. just click file > library > export playlist, then choose m3u and add that too your music folder on phone with the music in it !!!!!

^ I was pretty happy to discover that earlier, and exported all the .m3u playlists to her phone via dropbox. I had all of the mp3 songs loaded for each playlist that I was going to transfer over, but when I opened the .m3u files, it gives me an error message saying "Error playing the requested track." I'm guessing the issue is that the .m3u file isn't in the same folder as the rest of the music files. If I used a file manager app and moved the .m3u into the music file, would that help?
Also, I have tried using doubletwist with airsync, which works for transferring songs, but doesn't give me playlists on her phone. I've tried dragging and dropping the playlists onto her phone, and I've tried letting doubletwist sync them completely.
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. If anyone has worked out any sort of solution with a Mac, please let me know!
Cheers
i use doubletwist, syncs everything
Is there any way to separate podcast mp3s from Google music? My podcasts are infiltrating my artist list and recently played view.
I don't think so without changing the genre to podcast or something, though it won't get rid of it from the recently played list
Google does have it's own podcast app called Listen which is pretty old but works. You can dump also your already downloaded episodes to /sdcard/com.google.android.apps.listen/
Just an alternative
Is there a location I can store my podcasts where music spent search?

Put a .nomedia file in the folder where the podcasts are. You might meet to reboot afterwords.

also, if you use beyondpod there's an option to "share media miles" that's enabled by default. Unchecked it then clear user data for the media storage app and reboot/rebuild your library. Can't remember if there's an option like that on dogcatcher but ever since switching to beyondpod its the best podcast player in my opinion.

I added a blank .nomedia file using Root Explorer and rebooted, but when my feeds updated, they are all seen in Google Music.
I am using Doggcatcher at the moment.

I use doggcatcher too, and what I did was create a folder in the sd and named it .nomedia
I then moved all my podcast stuff there.
Make sure you go to doggcatcher settings and change the location of your podcasts to that location.
Next you need to go to app settings and delete all google music app data so it can rebuild it's cache and scan the sd card again.

I've seen some references to that online, but it doesn't seem to exist on my copy of BeyondPod (version 2.9.15). After going into Advanced Settings (which is hidden in a very WTF-esque manner), where it allegedly resides, there simply isn't a share podcasts / media files setting to be found.
Where do you find this beastie?

I know this is a really extreme solution but have you tried Pocket Casts? I used to be a huge fan of beyond pod also until I tried Pocket Casts. Its way more pretty and easy to use.

The thing with .nomedia files on ICS seem to work only after you clear the cache in manage apps-> all-> media storage
I switched to BeyondPod, which doesn't have this issue.
Thanks!

I second pocketcasts in terms of ease of use and appearance.
.nomedia file doesn't work with pocket casts, but creating .nomedia folder and moving podcasts there worked.

It's in 'Playlist and Widget Settings' these days.
I tried .nomedia and it didn't work for me. I use BeyondPod and PlayerPro now. It has a feature to only scan music from a certain folder.

how to Run Google Podcast without Google App?
i have disable Google App, when i try to open Google Podcast it says it requires Google App.
Please tell how to Run Google Podcast without google App.
All of a sudden I am getting a lot of trouble with the music on my phone. My iTunes library is very organized with all the artist info, album, album art, etc. I tried to use the Kies app to sync my music on my phone, but for some reason some tracks are moved on the my phone with the title being something among the lines of "01 Song One" and all the other song information is unknown. This is the case with maybe about 30 or 40 songs while the rest of my 2000+ song library are fine. I tried syncing with doubleTwist and got the same result. I even tried just moving the songs directly onto my SD Card and I STILL got the same result. Anyone know anything I can do so all my music are transferred to my phone properly? Thanks in advance.
Have you tried editing the properties of the music? To the proper album name and song name you want?
I do this on my computer when my music library gets messed up

Edit it where? When the songs are in my iTunes library it has all the information correct.
You could use mp3tag on your PC to edit the files directly. In my experience, iTunes doesn't always make the changes to metadata to the actual file and when you try to transfer it elsewhere the data is gone. That's actually why I quit using iTunes. But mp3tag should fix those few files no problem.

Does anyone know how to save and restore playlist on Play Music spp. I know there are other music players out there but i like play music. I tried with titanium backup and it shows the name of the playlist but no content. I am a flashaholic so rebuilding all six playlists with a thousand plus music files becomes tedious.

I'm playing around with uploading my music to Google Music. That being said, when I run Play Music on my gs3, I ONLY want to see the music stored on the Google Music cloud--I don't want to see anything on my phone's storage. I see an option for "all music / on device only" which is the opposite of what I want. I thought about a third party Google Music player but haven't found anything yet (suggestions for this are welcome, I did see an app to let third party players access the google music cloud files but haven't tried it yet). Thanks for any help on this.
