Anyone have a solution for a rooted Android to support iCloud's music app features?
Ugh Google Music?

I was just about to make the same suggestion...
Google Music or Amazon MP3 are both viable solutions. Apple stuff(not going to say iCrap, I use Macs myself) generally doesn't play well with non-apple products.

Google Music is okay. I couldn't really get the file download for offline mode to work right.
I've used iCloud for Music on my iPad and wifes phone and I really like how the file download for music not on the device works. My primary music app on my Droid is Spotify...which is almost giving me what I was hoping for. Thanks for the suggestions.

Mine downloads fine Make sure to do it through Wifi though. Are you talking about offline caching of the music or actually downloading it to your phone? You can do both with Google Music

Hey guys. this is a pretty self explanatory question. I love Google music. I think the cloud service is stellar and I like the way it has ALL the music on my computer without ever having to put it on my phone. The only gripe I have is the music player. I like the player well enough but, im used to Playerpro and like the over all aesthetic value over Gmusic. The problem Im having is that there is no way to have my music that I say to "Make available offline" available on anything other than Gmusic. Is there a way to download songs and albums off Gmusic and use them on a separate player like PlayerPro? I know there is a way to move around files, but I already tried that and it was a no go.
Download it to play offline.
-or-
Try Cloud Music Sniper from the market.
There is some progress being made on unofficial APIs of Google Music: From Android Police

Downloading it to play offline does not let me use the music in anything other than the stock Gmusic app.
Just put it on your phone and be done with it!
Try looking for the downloaded music in /sdcard/Android/data/com.Google.android.music/cache/music

Is there anyway to manage your music on your galaxy Nexus using your PC? Could you use Windows media player or real player in any fashion?

Use the website, https://play.google.com/music/listen
I believe that they're in the works in making a windows application, not sure when that'll be done.
On another note, have they allowed a way for us to upload music from our phones to Google music yet? I don't have a PC and all my music is stored on my phone.

Nope. There isn't Google Music API either.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...on-allow-apps-to-integrate-with-google-music/ saw that the other month though.
Still waiting for a day that Google releases API, MMS, and emoji for Google Voice texting too -.-
Does anybody know where google music stores purchased music on your device? I am trying to transfer my purchase to a different music player on my phone as I dont really like google music.
I am having the same problem. I found the files and copied them over but the other players still don't pick them up.

Copy files from there to your internal memory or sd card to use it with other players. data/data is a system folder so other players can't access it. Or better yet download google's Music Manager on your desktop and download mp3's to your desktop and then transfer them to your phone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Edge phone and although I see "call a car" as one of the available "actions" in the Android Wear app, I'm not able to click on it so I can't associate Uber to that action. Could someone check if they have the same issue? Does anyone know of a solution?

No uber
You can use lyft for wear I believe, uber app not yet supported. I think there might be a couple of a smaller taxi services that you can use also. Yes, in the browse app section under watch faces selection,there is gett taxi,and lyft under travel and local section.
I am seeing the same thing. I was not able to use Uber on the watch.. Maybe an update is coming from Uber...
IT's not just Uber, I have a lot of apps like this that I cannot associate an application with. Even "Play music" does not work because I cannot associate the action with the music player on my phone. Bit dumb.

I am able to associate Play Music with my watch. I noticed that while your watch is syncing it doesn't show up as an option but once its fully synced you should be able to choose Play Music as an action for your watch.

I dont have play music and it seems that's the only app you can associate. I've never used play music, I don't get on with it.

I use nexus devices and it comes pre loaded on them. But yeah I have only seen Play Music as an app that can be associated.. Haven't seen an other 3rd party music apps that can be associated.

thanks mate
it's not a big deal for me, because all it does is launch the app on the phone anyway. If I stream music via bluetooth from my phone to my car, I can pause it and play it again from the watch.
It would be nice if someone made a custom ROM for the watch which allowed you to associate any app
I agree it should be opened up a bit.. Hopefully we may see some traction as speaker support is inbound..

OK here's the problem
As you all know Google went the IDIOT route and chose to give us a 32gb and 128gb option
128gb sold out QUICK so of course some of us are stuck with a 32gb phone
So naturally I bought a type c flash drive to store my music
The problem is I can only play it through a file manager like "Solid Explorer"
Yes this works but it isn't intuitive AT ALL
You can't browse other songs while one is playing among other essential needs
I used the "USB Media Explorer" app and yea that worked but it is hideous
I wanted to know if there was a way we can get "Google play music" or another DECENT music app to be able to read the flash drive when plugged in
Anybody recognize this problem and have any luck so far?
Dude, Poweramp. Why would anyone use any other music player on Android? I've tried them all and it definately reigns supreme imo
yea power amp should work u can select the music folders.

RocketPlayer - because it integrates directly with iSyncr and allows me to rate songs directly on my phone, which are then passed back to iTunes on my Mac.
Why Poweramp other than because it 'reigns'?

I personally prefer Google Play Music since I have thousands of songs on there and don't store any songs on my device.

The entire point of this is to have files stored locally so you don't have to use a data connection to play them.

Well the way it reads.. he wants to play local music files.
Maybe he doesn't know Google play let's you store 10k songs on their servers... That's the reason the pixel is 32 gigs with no external storage... Google has cloud solutions for all media. And if streaming is a issue because your not on a unlimited plan then the 128 gig is the way to go or another phone.
Google really F'd up the ability to play music files from external storage.
I've been pissed about it for a couple years now.
There is some usb_stick_mount app that someone like Chainfire or someone else developed.
It helps a little but was designed for older images.
Dammit, I'm all pissed again now just thinking about how badly Google F'd up on this external storage (USB drive or USB stick) access.

Cloud storage is fine great and dandy, except it uses my data
True, but for the record Play Music has an option to play music stores locally too. It does work fine

I know Google Music has the option to download songs to external sd card. I wonder if the flash drive would allow that too.
Yeah, I hear the OP. I ended up giving in about a year ago and went all streaming instead of local files. I have Verizon and yeah I pay a bit more but I have a hefty shared data plan and my fiance uses very little of it, so I never get into trouble with data limits.

Why couldn't you wait until the 128 was in stock? That's what I did.

Poweramp doesnt let you choose the correct path
The music from a flashdrive is in mnt/media_rw and thats not an option
I tried poweramp and musixmatch
And for everybody bringing up streaming or cloud storage which also needs to stream
Im from NYC and im on the subway VERY OFTEN i cannot stream underground and i dont want to download my music from google play for obvious reasons
I bought the flashdrive in order to free up storage
I just want to be able to have a decent good looking music app play music from my flashdrive
I seriously dont understand how this isnt natively supported
