So I'm not sure if a guide like this exists but I looked and didn't see anything. This is a How-To on saving music you paid for on Google Play. I have a separate MP3 player and I also make CD's from time to time and I tried to figure out a way on how I could save my music I paid for on Google Play. Also, there are those situations when you have no data connection (jogging for example) and want to listen to the music you paid for but can't. This is how I did it....
Requirements:
ROOT Access
Google Music
Root Enabled File Explorer
Open Google Music and navigate to the music you paid for on Google Play and start playing the song. Pay special attention to the progress bar in Google Music, it should show how much your music is buffering. Once the song is buffered to 100% pause the song (or you can just play the entire song to ensure the song is downloaded completely)
So once the song is buffered to 100% or you listened to it completely open your root enabled File Explorer and navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.music folder (as pictured, at the top)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open up the com.google.android.music folder and go to /cache/music/ (as pictured below)
Depeneding on how many songs you buffered you will have multiple .mp3 files there or just one. You want to copy those mp3 files and paste them onto your internal SD or external SD. I don't think the mp3's have the proper id3 (artist, song title, genre, etc) so you can find a program to do that either on your phone or PC
Hope this helps someone. Remember, let your song buffer to 100% or just listen to it completely before copying the mp3. I am working with a buddy of mine on making an app that will do this for you and make it easier to download entire albums. Stay tuned
Or you can check the box that says "keep on device"... then it will play offline too.

thanks OP!
Good idea but it becomes redundant because you'll end up with multiple duplicates eventually

I thought, it will be some kind of hack or an app that will make Google Music to cache the songs on SD card so they survive the wipe. But I am really sorry, this is not very useful.

Its useful information for some, not very useful for others. One of XDA's higher purposes is to educate. Being that I'm not a developer or a hacker and maybe not quite as generally clever or software knowledgeable as others of you, this is something that I didn't know. Now I know.
I'd say that I've been adequately educated for today and that XDA is fulfilling its objective.
Not an attack. Just a reminder.

There are several uses for it, don't assume you're the only person who has an opinion about the validity of someone's info, it makes you sound like an bigger douche than you obviously already really are.
I know, that must be hard to believe, but someone had to tell you.
lol, this has been around for ages. I didnt know a guide had to be written for that, it seems pretty obvious imho.
Anyway, nice write up mate
Thanks!!! I'm not sure if this is just my phone (ATT GS3) but the music that I cache or save for offline listening also shows up in the SD card within the Android folder under com.google.music. You don't need root to see this folder.
To those worried about making duplicates it really doesn't. Cached music won't show up in another music player because Google music puts a .nomedia file in the folder to make sure it won't show up anywhere else (a **** move but hey otherwise it's great) if you want to keep using Google music you can clear the cache when you are done copying the files.
great idea
is great idea but i think than is redundant too as tell in some post on top, i use in the beguin than buy my phone :cyclops:
I personally would love an app that transfers it over to my SD card. I like Google music since it auto syncs, I just wish someone could make an app to auto sync that music to the card. It's obviously not that simple though.
You can also go to Google play on a desktop/laptop, log in and find your paid for music. It'll allow your to download the music to your computer. Then transfer files from computer to phone. Or burn to cd' s or other mp3 players.

If you restore Play Music from Titanium or Clockwork backup after a wipe, but before connecting to a network, it won't need to re-download your pinned music (assuming you didn't wipe your /sdcard partition)..
I've done this a few times.

Use Directory Bind to map your /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music to a folder on your SD card. I've been doing this for a while. Or you can use swapSD.
Nice guide for guys that don't know this. I knew this before, but music is lacking Metadata (Artist, Title, Album....) If you make an app, make it so it can get he metadata from google play music and put it in the mp3

I bought the Music importer app a year ago when it was called google music importer. Google took the app down and recent months, the app is back. The free version can import up to 50 songs from google music, but the paid version (on one device) can import as many as you want.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5zYXBpZW4ubXVzaWMuaW1wb3J0ZXIiXQ..
I use it all the time when I buy mp3s from Amazon or wherever.
I've used Cloud Music Sniper for this matter, also saves metadata to your MP3's...
I've used this because i want my Google play Music files to be played via DLNA on my home cinema, this is nog possible with the native Google app
Hmmm I am having real problems with this. It seems that on my S3 on Jellybean the Music app is not saving the cache to
sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music
And I cannot for the life of me find where the files are being stored. They are on the phone somewhere taking up space but I cannot find them. Neither ES nor Astro can see the files anywhere.
It is really, really annoying me. I almost threw my phone at the wall in frustration. Where on earth could JB be hiding the files?

is this still true? also for phones without sd-slot? heared that in this case google music may store the pinned music as cache somewhere else and not on the sdcard partition, so they might also got wiped.
would love to know, if it is still possible to restore an TB backup of music after an full wipe and wont have the pinned music lost, becaus redownloading every wipe would be a pain in the ass and would make the cloud service of google music unusuable to me (downloading 15gb every wipe isn't really the way to go).
I think what most of the people in this thread are looking for, including myself, is a way to have Google Music "automatically" save cached music to the SD Card. This is a definite problem with the Galaxy Nexus (possibly because the SD Card is built in). As a result of caching locally, Titanium and nandroid backups are bloated. Manually moving cache to SD and back to device is a pain if even possible and retagging all of your google songs for local cache again is not so fun.
If anyone has a good solution for for automatically saving Google Music cache to the SD Card, please post. Please, no manual work arounds like 'just copy mp3's directly to SD Card' or 'write a script to copy files'. I believe everyone is searching for a hack to the Google Music app to change the cache storage location to redirect to the location of your choice.

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.

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/

^ 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!

I'm hoping someone can figure out where I'm screwing up here. I'm going a little banaynay. Music on my extsd will not appear in any music player.
Galaxy S3, new CM-based ROM installed (Synergy-S3_19Apr13_1622_r484_s). Everything is stock image at the moment, aside from inserting an SD card. To note: I saw this problem on the 5/1 CM 10.1 nightly, as well as on CM 10.1 M3.
The system mounts the SD card (formatted) as /mnt/extsd/ with no errors. I have a few directories on there, one with my Carbon Helium backup data, a /DCIM with photos, and /Music. Album app finds photos and indexes them with no issue. Carbon Helium found the back up data, ESFile Explorer reads/writes to the card with no issue.
So why won't any frigging music apps index the mp3s on this drive? It couldn't be more annoying. I've ensured I don't have any .nomedia files on there, I've killed the Media Storage service, cleared its data, and rebooted the phone to initiate a re-indexing. But it simply isn't reading that directory. Hell, the gallery apps are indexing the album art, but the music apps are blowing it.
The music apps read from the SD just fine on previous ROMS before I tried CM 10.1 M3. For some reason, after that ROM, any subsequent ROMs are evidencing this problem. Did something change with the way music data is cached?
Additionally, I thought the Media Storage service was used for all media, not just music. So why would it properly index the photos and not the music? Do have to symlink this bastard? Can you even do a symlink on a fat32 filesystem (I didn't think you could)...
Any help would be awesome.
Poweramp?

Poweramp works. I just installed it, and it nicely asked for me to specify the directories I wanted it to scan. How thoughtful, considering these other apps simply don't . Thanks for that Aerowinder.
I still don't have an explanation for the other apps not seeing the mp3s, which makes this fix a little bittersweet, frankly. But at least I have tunes for the drive later today. Thanks my man.
I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP THE FIGHT heh
Hey, I have had a problem with no matter what android phone I have. This has been doing it for quite some time but I dealt with it but last night I lost 12 GB of music so here it is:
Whenever I move music in these situations, it will erase all ID3 Tag information (Artist, Album, etc) and all it has is the file name. I had 2000 songs with artist names and all, but when moved it all became unknown artist. Here are the situations:
Galaxy S3: Moving Music from one folder to another (Like from a Download folder to my music folder on external SD). Or from moving music from internal to external or vice versa.
Optimus G: Moving music from one folder to another on the internal storage (Again, like from a download to music folder).
Evo 4G: Just moving from folder to folder.
All this is done with ES. File explorer. I tried other but they do it too. It can not be device specific because it happens on almost any android. All songs are in MP4/MP3 format and maybe some .wma.
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Please don't comment saying "Just use google play cloud" or anything, because I do not like cloud storage's. Thanks in advance. Really need help.
If you a file explorer that doesn't do that, what is it?
I always use Root Explorer, I've never lost anything, even when I transfer from internal to external and vice versa. I'm not a big fan of streaming from the cloud either so I can understand your frustration. Try Root Explorer.

I recently did a clean install of MOAR v8.0 from v6.1 and have noticed that all the System .ui sounds ( .ogg ) are in the music folder in the My Files app., which means that they are also sent to the Music Player app. So when I was driving home yesterday and streaming the music through BT, all the system sounds like Alert_on_call.....Cam_Stop and all the others....plus all the sucky music like Birdsong, Fairy Fountain and such will start playing.
I have tried to delete them from the Music Player and the My Files apps, but they will not delete. I have also tried to move the files from the My File app to another folder, but they will still remain in the Music File.
Also, in the Astro File Manager, when I select the Music folder....none of the system files show up.
I have read and searched through the MOAR thread, but can't find an answer and I can't post there asking this, but How do I move the sound files ( .ogg ) so that they will not play in the Music Player app?
Well after 3 more downloads and clean installs.....it seemed to work itself out....I do still have the 'hangout' sounds in there. I can deal wit that for now though. :cyclops:

If you download a music player from play store like poweramp etc you can specify your music folders to play from and then you wont get system sounds

Yeah hangouts itself puts it in there, not much you can do about that
If you delete it, it will just keep coming back, but you can make a ".nomedia" file in there (without quotes of course) and it won't show up when you go to play your music (basically tells the media scanner to skip that folder)

Hey there folks. I'm in need of some assistance with trying to crack into Pandora further than it already has been hacked. You see, I have this newest version of the Pandora One music app that I got from a friend and it's great. This hacked version allows you to sign in and run Pandora like you bought Pandora One and updates like the OEM version does without any issues. This version also allows you to stream the audio quality in 320 kbps, do unlimited skips, it has no ads, and DOES allow you to use it more like Spotify... via favoriting songs as a Playlist and downloading the songs directly to your phone. When you click on the "like" button, it also gives you an option to download the currently playing song to your phone (which downloads in about 10 seconds or less at full 320 kbps quality).
*Here's the tricky part*
When the songs download, they get automatically downloaded to your phone's internal SD card memory and stored into a folder named for the style of genre/station you were listening to. So if you were listening to your self-created station based on a particular artist such as "Thievery Corporation Radio" or you were listening to any of the automatically-provided stations such as "Dubstep Radio"... songs would be stored in the approriately-named folder in your internal SD card "Music" folder via the following path below.
..... /storage/emulated/0/Music/Dubstep Radio
So now that it is known that songs are stored in your phone's internal SD card's "Music" folder location, does anyone know if there's a way to change this and force Pandora's downloads to be stored in a particular folder you created within your external SD card instead... exactly like in the "Save To" directory settings on the hacked "OG YouTube" app??
I have uploaded the hacked Pandora .apk to this thread, so if anyone can figure this out... have at it and please repost to this thread with the edited .apk to install. I have no idea how to hack/crack apps and add options that the original app would never give you/have access to. My main purpose with this is to take out the step of moving songs from my internal to external SD card.
Thank you.

Obv it's illegal but they got modified everything. Remember when rooting was taboo? Smh. If you ain't gonna answer a question... keep ya 2 cents buddy.

Nah, no one has helped since my original post was made back then. To this day, I still use the "modified" Pandora (One) and I still have not found a way to change the storage location route it automatically takes by default to save music files.
To anyone interested in taking a crack at it with the app, PM me for further "discussions."
