When you set a playlist in Google music to offline it download the songs but I'd like to put them in SD card rather than internal storage

I don't think you can set it up in Google Music to download them to the SD card. You can use a file manager like Root Explorer or something and maybe manually move them to the SD card.

would it still see them?
They aren't visible anyway I believe but for room you could find where it downloads and use a symlink?
So says Latinmaxima, so it shall be done!

I am using a 64gb SD card with my s3 and want to download my music to it. Aside from the no apps to SD card issue, the Amazon mp3 app lacks the option to save data to SD.
I moved the data folder to the SD card and music plays fine. After that, I renamed the amazon folder on the internal storage and tried a download. The app created a new folder and downloaded the album to internal storage.
Any ideas on how to get my downloads headed straight to the sd card?
Stock Sprint 32gb s3. Sandisk 64gb class 10 card.
Thanks!
I would like the answer to this as well if anyone knows
Pretty sure this is an issue with the app itself. I wonder if you could create a symbolic link to the extSD card to fool the app into storing the files there instead. Anyone?
What I do is everytime I download some music from AmazonMP3 is just cut and paste the music folder to the extSdCard. Not sure how the whole symlink thing works.
Are there any hacks to force Amazon MP3 to download songs to the external SD card?

Just been looking at this too. Thought I could get clever with Android being basically Linux and move amazonmp3 to the external SD then do a symlink. But of course, durrrr, the SD card is in FAT32 format, which doesn't support symlinks.
amazonmp3 does recognise music on the external SD card, so I suppose you could move all the existing music across and then use some kind of automation (probably llama?) to do an overnight move of any newly downloaded music from virtual to external.
Bit of a kludge though. We could do with a cloud service that'll let you specify where the cache should go.

Not so much the cache, as I'd like purchased music downloads to go on the sd card so PowerAMP can read them.
I've just been moving the folder manually every few months.
Hello folks, I bought my M8 3 weeks ago and it is rooted, unlocked bootloader, latest TWRP, stock sense ROM and elemental x kernel. I initially purchased a 32gb Samsung evo sd card but found myself maxing it within a few days with movies, then i bought a 64gb Samsung evo sd card and assumed all was well. I formatted the card and ran the external sd card patch app from the playstore which granted me write permission to the sd card (it is not possible on stock htc kernel but ss soon ss i flashed elementalx kernel it allowed me to write any data to the sd card).
But the problem is whenever i download a movie via utorrent and set the download path to the sd card, it downloads fine, but when i use my file explorer to check the sd card movie download folder, it shows the movie folder name but when i open the folder there is nothing inside or someimes it doesn't even show the movie folder at all, almost as if it was never even downloaded but if i switch back to utorrent, the movie is 100% downloaded and is uploading.
Sometimes, it actually downloads and i can see the movie in the folder, but when i click on the movir, it says 'Sorry unable to play thid file'. I have use astro file manager and es file manager, i have used diceplayer, mx player sand bs player. I don't think the file manager or the the media player is the problem. When i open settings and go to make more space, 10gb of my sd storage is being taken by these files but they are nowhere to be found on my sd card storage using a file manager. But i know these movies are on the sd card because it is taking up gigabytes of space.
I've tried to reformat the sd card, factory reset the phone e.t.c. but i am still having the ssme issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Guys, some assistance would be appreciated. Some of my downloaded movies are showing and some are taking up storage space but are showing up empty in the folder.
Does anyone understand why the external sd card doesn't show in DoubleTwist Airsync? Or know a workaround?
I use App2SD but doubletwist has installed in internal storage. I am hoping to use Airsync because Google Play Music doesn't seem to like using the external SD card, but have paid and found out it is not necessarily going to work. DoubleTwist support has published information on this issue but I don't understand most of what they are saying. Here is their link https://www.doubletwist.com/help/question/what-are-the-changes-to-sd-card-support-in-android-44-kitkat/
Oops! I think I've sorted it. Reinstalled app2sd (I must have forgotten to install it after last Eragon upgrade. Now syncing music to external SD card.
As per title I can't set my SD card as default storage space on my Mediapad, it's running 4.4.4. I s there any way around this or am I missing something obvious!
Thx
