I'm having a problem with the Google Play Music app.
I've been using it fine for at least a month, but all of a sudden tonight, when trying to play some music I get the error: "Couldn't play the song your requested."
I can go to the files and play them myself with the file manager, and with the samsung music player... I even downloaded Power Amp to check and it works fine. But I can't seem to use the Play music app. I've cleared data, uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm a Canadian user. Would this have anything to do with Play music not being available in Canada? And if so why was I able to use it all this time without?
can you go to google's music page and play that way?
I don't think its nothing to do with you in Canada, Google opened the music publicly/ international several months ago.
Thanks for the response!
I can't play music that way because I don't actually have any music in the cloud... All locally on my SD Card.
Also I had to install the apk manually instead of through the store. It says play music is unavailable for my phone.... which I assumed meant Canada....
we have the same problem.. any tips how to make it work?
I think I remember someone saying to clear cache/data for the play music app.

They updated the app recently and its giving a lot of people issues on aokp and cm9. The prior version did too, but was hit or miss. Some had issues some didn't. If you have an older version try it
Play music is problematic at best. I loved it too. I tried to use it and I'm also a Canadian user.
I did a lot of reading and its a problem with Play music itself. Sometimes the program loses track of where exactly the music is. Its database gets out of sync. So you have to go to Manage apps and clear the data. Then download "Re-scan Media" from the app store. Let it do its work, then it will work again. But you'll have to do this constantly. Its totally not worth it. Especially when you're out... ready to play music and you have to do all that drama.
Hey guys stupid update here. Play music works again for me. Tried tons of stuff, so don't know which thing fixed it when it dies again I will try to narrow it down. Found out the mp3 codec lib is a bit flimsy. Found out play music has issues with sd card reading. Found out it also is programmed to search for atom moov contents for streaming purposes before playing. And oddly it loads/pushes bluetooth ad2p every time it plays a song. And it's database of adding song registration duplicates entries often, but it has a built in verification method. Each of these were determined through a logcat of the issue.
I had the same issue and fixed it with just a simple copy to a folder on my desktop, delete from Internal SD, then adding it back on. Now it works again.
Copy whole "music" folder or sd card contents?
Can you confirm internal or external card?
Rom?
At this point, my assumption would be your issue fell into the internal (emmc) rescan fix category.
Turns out the rescan app pulls the GetExternalStorage api which isn't able to pull external sd. It only will have the system rescan emmc. Unfortunately, Google didn't have the foresight that phones would have two cards originally. So if you have music there, clearing cache and rescanning works well for many.
Found out one other issue/fix. Someone asked me about the media app loading draining battery issue some of us have had. I had them pull the mp3s and run them through an mp3 validator and reload. It fixed both the media hang up and play music.
Here's what I tried:
My music is in my external SD card. Go to your app drawer, press menu, Manage Apps.
Scroll the top bar to the right and choose All. Find Media Storage and clear its data.
Reboot into recovery, fix permissions. Open the gallery and let the list populate (it takes a bit).
Download the app SDrescan. Run it. Reboot.
At this point PM should recognize all your music.

You got sd rescan to scan your external? On aokp/cm9?
Anyway, looks like you have also confirmed another relationship to media scanner. Though quick question, why gallery open?
Yes.
Regarding the gallery open, I figured it would get the OS jogging. But its also because there were double or triple false entries of every picture on my SD card.

i've had two root causes related to this i'll share with you guys here. i'm using an lg g pro 2. two problems:
i uninstalled two programs and the issue went away: greenify and v4a.
first, apparently *GREENIFY* was causing issues. i don't know wtf i put into auto hibernation, but something was causing this issue. at first i suspected n7player, so i degreenified it. nothing. anyways, i DID have ES File Explorer and MX Player still greenified, maybe they were the culprits?
second, i had uninstalled v4a before uninstalling greenify, but that still didn't fix the issue. anyways, after i got my music back, i reinstalled v4a and the thing stopped working all of a sudden (used 4.4 install). shifted to 2.3.4.0 and v4a did NOTHING. music worked again but it wasn't functional.
end result: i flashed the lolliviper zip from the nexus 5 forums and it works again, w00t! i'll link if you're itnerested

I did not get you. Please explain in clearer words..
Apologies if this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it around!
I've updated my Nexus to JB and all is well. I've never really used the music app, but in preparation for my Nexus 7 arriving, I've done the "hack" to allow Google Music access from the UK - it's currently uploading my music as I type.
On my device though, I can't see it. The help says I should be prompted for which account to use, but this doesn't seem to happen. I've also checked under "Accounts and Sync" for my google account, and all looks happy (except no option for music is even listed).
Can anyone advise what I need to do to get it working?
Actually, I managed to use the hack too, but still have the same problem. I think you answered to yourself. It's a hack..so it's suppose maybe not to be fully operational.
I've been using Google Music in the UK more or less since it lauched & it works perfectly fine for me.
Under settings in the Music App does it list a Google Play Account? (Should be at the very top)
I'm using Google Music for a few month now as well and had a similar problem.
Try clearing the cache of the Music App. At least that solved the problem for me that a few albums where not showing on my phone.
download Titanium backup. go to your apps defrost Google music
Thanks everyone, I did a "clear data" and it's showing stuff now
I'm getting this error message "music temporarily unavailable. couldn't play the stream you requested". I only have 3 devices authorized and I am having no issues with playback on my computer, however every song is giving me this error, whether over 4G or Wifi on my GNex. This issue started happening two days ago (around the time the European Google Play Music store updates were occurring / not sure if it's related). My issue was happening before the most recent Google Music update (a day or two ago?) as well as after. Also, not sure if it's relevant but I've almost filled my 20,000 song limit.
Anyone else figure this out / had this issue / have advice? Thanks!
Stock GNex on Verizon.
I have the same message starting today, but only for certain songs on my Galaxy Nexus.
I'm at 3.000 on song limit so I don't think that's it. Streaming on PC and other phone (Nexus S) is fine.
I am in Canada, which doesn't officially have Music yet, but then the streaming is working fine on devices so I don't think that's the issue.

I was getting this message frequently the other day (Tuesday) but since the update to Google Play Music, I haven't had any problems. BTW, Music is available in Canada now...sorta. We can upload and stream (music.google.com doesn't block you from the webpage anymore and you can download Music Manager) but we don't have a music store or nothing like that. It got flipped on around the same time they announced Music for Google TV in Canada.
I've also been getting the same message on my tablet since Tuesday. I noticed it after the last Play Music update. Since I didn't know what to do, I uninstalled the app and did a fresh re-install to no avail.
No problems playing on cell or computer. And I don't think song limit is an issue here... I don't have more than 500 songs myself.
Besides, my problem is not with all songs, just some... not sure, but seems like the ones I'm having problems with are the ones I have gotten for free from Play Store ("Free Song of the Day" type of songs).
Hopefully somebody has more info on this issue, a suggestion... Or if we are lucky perhaps it's a temporary glitch and it resolves itself some time soon.

I think I've fixed it. Let's put it this way: I know that at least 2 of the songs that had disappeared (i.e. gave the "Music temporarily unavailable." error) are available now. I followed the instructions I saw for people having problems with the Play store after a recent update on the androidcentral forums. I tried to give that link, but as a noob on XDA I'm not allowed. Search for: "Problem since 4.1.2 update" android central, if you want to see my source...
I followed the same steps there, but instead of doing it for the Play store I did it for Google Play Music.
I did the following:
1. Make sure you're signed into Talk. (not sure if this one is actually required, but I did do it).
2. Go to setting>apps>all>Google Play Music
3. Clear data (note that this means that all your locally stored music and playlists will disappear).
4. Uninstall updates
5. Go back to the list of All Apps and click on Google account manager,
6. Clear data
7. Force stop.
8. Power off and leave it off for a minute or two (I removed my battery to be extra sure) then re-boot
After your phone restarts you will notice that Google Music Player will update (if you had automatic updates allowed in the Play Store for it).
9. Open Google Play Music and let it sync with the servers.
After a couple of minutes all the music from your locker should be visible.
Again, I have tested it for 2 missing songs only. So far so good. :fingers-crossed:
I will post later if I find anything else.
@vcmic: thanks so much! this works for me indeed you're my savior :highfive:
Worked for me as well. Minus the being signed into Talk part. (I skipped that part)
Thanks!
This solution worked for me too on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks
Worked for me as well on Motorola Atrix HD which just got updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1.
Also didn't touch Talk although I was signed in before.

I've just tried to do this but couldn't see any app called "Google account manager" in the all apps section. Would love to resolve this, it's doing my head in!
Didn't Work

Worked like a charm, I also skipped step 1. Before this fix not one song played now I've tested over a dozen and they all played. Thanks

Yep, this worked for me also. Two years later.
Hey, I was running the NOTEorious rom the past few months, no issues using the Watch ESPN app. I just switched over to the Sky Note 8.2 and moved all my apps back on using Titanium Backup and now I get an "Unable to play video" error when trying to click on a game in the Watch ESPN app. I thought maybe it was an issue due to the restore from backup. So I un-installed and re-installed, same issue. The rest of the app works, signing in, viewing different sections of the apps, just can't watch a video. Is there some sort of video codec or app I need on this custom rom to watch these videos? The YouTube app works fine still.
Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
Editted - Trying to delete this but can't find the option. I figured this out. I restore my NOTEorious rom and the Watch ESPN app had the same error so I thought I would try to log out and log back in from inside the app and that fixed it. After the restore from Titanium it let me go through the app screens like it was logged in, but as soon as you tried to watch a game it didn't think you were logged in. I guess back when I un-installed and re-installed the app from the market it didn't truely un-install because when I re-opened it, it thought I was still logged on too.
Long story short, this is not a problem and a forum mod can delete it. Thanks.
Is anyone else having problems with Play Music not syncing all of your music? Maybe ⅓-½ of my music does not appear to be syncing with my S6 nor my S6 Edge. Syncs just fine with my HTC One, Asus Tablet, Samsung Tab, PC etc... Just not the S6s.
I've resynced multiple times under Accounts, I've cleared data/cache multiple times within the app itself as well as under app management, I've tried it with app updates uninstalled and with the updates installed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
I am also within my 10 device limit. Anyone else having issues? Have any possible solutions? Alotta of my most played songs are not syncing and it driving me nuts.
(Edit) FYI, the S6 is Stock Rom untouched. The S6 Edge is Stock Rom rooted.
My syncing works fine. Also at my limit. Wish they'd change that

I'm having the exact same issue. I have a Galaxy S6 edge. Already opened a ticket with Google Play Support. Awaiting on a response.

Wanted to check if your problem is still ongoing, mine is. Google stated they weren't able to replicate the issue on their end and to pretty much hope for updates to fix it.
I'm going crazy here... :-/
---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------
Found a thread on Android Central of other users reporting the same issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g4/536816-how-can-i-fix-my-google-play-music-sync.html
Seems to be something with Google services itself and not just the S6 or S6 Edge.
I've referenced both threads in my support ticket, I'd encourage you to do the same, maybe we can nag them enough for a solution.
No luck as of yet on my end. Actually, it seems the more I delete data/cache and try resyncinging the more songs stop from syncing..... It's getting really aggravating honestly.

:sigh: Same here. At first I thought it was fixing the issue, but then I realized that it was just switching what songs I had available on my device. Aggravating indeed.
I included both threads (this one and the one on androidcentral) in my ticket email update. Hopefully they get their stuff together.
I'm having the same issue - searching for a solution brought me to this thread. I've reset the phone, wiped the cache, disabled the GPM app, refresh library both on Wi-Fi and on cell connection. Nothing is working. This is really frustrating as every other device I have the library is syncing perfectly (including my Galaxy Note 10.1).
Would love to get this resolved somehow...
Edit: does this have anything to do with how large the music library is? Mine is bordering 18,000 songs.
@Chadwick17 @msgnyc
Alright guys! I've found a solution for mine, hope this helps you guys out!
1. Go to GPM on the webapp (website, whatever you want to call it).
2. Go to "My Library", then pick whatever artist you want for the test
3. Once you open the artist, go to "All my songs" (for that artist you picked)
4. Select ALL the songs and click the edit button on the top
5. DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FIELDS (unless you want to change the metadata for the songs). Just click save without making any changes
6. Refresh your music library app, your stuff should be there now
What I did to make this faster for me, was go through my music library by genres. I would open the genre (Progressive Rock for example), go to "All Songs", select all of them, click edit and just save. I'm personally OCD when it comes to the music tags, so it was much easier for me since I have everything nicely formatted and organized. I only had to do it 111 times (the number of genres in my library).
Now once you're done doing this on the GPM website, go to settings on the website and refresh your music library (yes, this is on the website).
Once you're done, go to your google music app on your phone and refresh it, if it works for you as the same as it did for me, your playlists should now have all your music and so will your library.
After I confirmed that everything was there I force stopped the google play app through the application manager, cleared cache and data for the app through application manager, reboot in recovery, cleared cache and dalvik through recovery, fixed permissions. Booted up, my Google Play music is syncing just fine now.
Hope this helps!!!

I just saw a similar solution over at Android Central. It's been working for me too - only thing is, it doesn't seem to rectify the missing songs in your playlists on your phone. Maybe I haven't waited long enough for it to refresh...

Try my steps. I had the same problem with my songs playlists, but after I performed all the steps I did all my playlists have the correct number of songs in them.
Something is seriously screwed up. Now, the web app is showing music missing - roughly 3,000 songs. However, the music app on my tablet is showing all of the correct songs. I have no idea what the hell is going on but I'd sure like my 3,000 songs back.

Give it time. I had the issue as well, that's why I refreshed the music app within the GPM website. Go to settings on your left and then refresh the music library.
Make sure that by some reason they're not in the trash either.
I'll give it a shot l8r when I've got time. It's gonna take awhile to do that with all my songs.....
(Edit)It did work with the few albums I tried it. They updated the webpage. Im unable to select all songs for an artist. Id have to do it album by album. This could take me all week...
They need to fix this.

You were right. The web page did refresh to the correct amount of songs. I simply went into the 'Songs' portion of my library and selected all 19,000 of them and hit edit and then save right away. After that I refreshed the web app and now everything is working just like it should.
However, now my Google services aren't pushing notifications. I have no idea if that is related to this or a completely different issue altogether. Gmail will only show new email after I open the app and any purchases in Google Play don't show unless I manually force the phone to sync. Ugh.

What I did to make this faster for me, was go through my music library by genres. I would open the genre (Progressive Rock for example), go to "All Songs", select all of them, click edit and just save. I'm personally OCD when it comes to the music tags, so it was much easier for me since I have everything nicely formatted and organized. I only had to do it 111 times (the number of genres in my library).
Now once you're done doing this on the GPM website, go to settings on the website and refresh your music library (yes, this is on the website).
Once you're done, go to your google music app on your phone and refresh it, if it works for you as the same as it did for me, your playlists should now have all your music and so will your library.
After I confirmed that everything was there I force stopped the google play app through the application manager, cleared cache and data for the app through application manager, reboot in recovery, cleared cache and dalvik through recovery, fixed permissions. Booted up, my Google Play music is syncing just fine now.
Hope this helps!!!

Finally had a chance to sit down and do this. Wasn't able to do it really from my tablet since I was unable to select all and going album by album would've takin forever. Solved my sync issues tho. Your a life saver. Thanks.
Wonder what was causing the problem to begin with tho...
