I've installed an app called Market access, same as market enabler but ad free. I've set my sim code to 310380 AT&T in the US. I currently reside in China where there are no paid apps. However, when I opened the Play Store, there was only Apps ( however paid ones too ) ,no music, movie or books section unlike how I remembered the last time I returned to the US. Am I doing anything wrong?

Isn't market enabler ad free as well?
You need to use proxy app and the proxy server should be located in USA. You can use DroidVPN from the market, and you will get the full market, then you can disable the proxy app, however, you would need to re-enable it once you reboot the phone or delete the cache.
Even if my phone has the sim emulated to the A US carrier, must I have a US Ip to access books and music in the store. Somehow I do have paid apps on the store but no music, books or movies. Can anyone explain this?

Even with market enabler I had just apps. Even on the old Xperia Play.

Yes, you do need to have an IP address of USA to have: Music, Books, Video and Devices to appear to you. The only thing that is not controlled by IP and is only controlled by the carried ID are apps.
All other Google CONTENT is controled by IP address.

Thanks a lot! Cleared up my mind.

But still if you want to actually purchase any books, musics, movies, etc., you will need a US-based credit card. Except for apps, from my experiences apps can be purchases with any credit card.
Also, you will have to stay in the US IP in order to actually read the books, or the movies, (not sure about songs) that you just bought. If you try to open the book with a China IP or HK IP in my case, it will show the book cannot be read...

If you want to read a book bought through the play store you can do this from anywhere if you have selected to keep it on the device, did this yesterday when I was in Hungary for the day (only apps available in the play store there). Not sure about books you own in the cloud as I had selected to keep the book I was reading on the device ( a Nexus 7 in this case) because I wanted to be able to read it without a network connection.

I found a work around for the ip
Install the app 'orbot' and offcourse dont forget to adjust the settings as needed.
I just tried it with the 'pandora music' app and it worked like a charm

Not seen this mentioned, probably because the US ones have it as stock.
As Play music isn't available over here, Google have frozen the app out on UK N7s. If you've got Titanium backup installed, just defrost "Sound Search For Google Play 1.0.1" and it will now appear in your widget list.
Obviously it can only be used for song identification, if you click the widget after it has identified a song it will just open a Chrome page letting you know that Play Music isn't available in your country.
It works extremely well, just as you'd expect from a Google search product

Just a note, the OS refreezes it when you restart the device which buggers up the widget. You just need to defrost it again and put the widget back on the homescreen

If your in the UK. Use a free us proxy server to sign into play music once. And you will have play music from then on

I used Spotflux to get onto Play Music on my PC (Lets you download Play Music uploader and use your 20,000 song allowance) but it still won't enable you to buy music from this widget.

dear i am same situation but when i use hotspot shield from (1 market)its like a google play every thing goes better. try it

it also for pc
Many people use anonymous proxy server, obviously finding that ability to change their IP address for free is worth the risk. You should try it.
Simply use DROID vpn free free 1GB us server... It will unlock full market with books magazine movie and music no need to use market unloker or anything else

Hey!
I am having a problem with the Google Play Music app. I cannot make the songs available offline! When I view the menu, the option to download the songs does not show up. I contacted Google about this but they haven't responded yet. Does anyone else have this problem and can offer advice?
Thanks,

wws12: Can you stream those songs? Google Play does only allow use from 10 different devices. After flashing a few custom roms (each ne version counts as a new device, also it is the same hardware device) my 10 were used up and on the eleventh i couldn't download or stream any music from the online library. Maybe it is the same for you. You can unregister devices on the website.

Question: How many times have you flashed a new ROM since using Google Play Music? And have you checked out your registered devices? How many are there? If you are a serial flasher like many here on XDA, you need to deregister some older versions of your phone.
Go to a web browser on your computer. Go to the Google Play Music make sure you are logged in. Get to the music settings and check out your devices there.
I have never flashed a ROM on my N7.

I am not just talking about your N7, do you have a phone you flashed and used Google music with? If so, each different rom will be recognized as a different device, dependant on the rom dev and how they listed your device.
Ok next question; How much space do you have on your device? It's not nearly full is it?
Nope I don't think its even half. Got the 16gb version.

Yes you can download songs to your nexus 7.
Select the artist or albums tab in Google music
Then click the 3 dots in the top right hand corner (menu button).
Select "choose on device music"
You should now see a pin with the option to save off line next to the album

You sir, are amazing! Worked like a charm. Quick question, is there a way to only download specific songs instead of the whole album?

If I want a song (or even album) on my N7, I just go to Google Music on a PC and use Music Manager to download all to my PC, then select what I want on the N7. It's much faster this way (once music is on your PC), and gives you a complete back up of what's online.
PS: If you go to Albums and select "choose on device music"... then swipe to songs, and select a song, and another song... etc... then turn off wifi, the individual songs seem to be added on your device. Not sure how many that will do it for, I only tried 2.

Short answer.... No.
What the guy in the post before me is referring to is caching, which the play music will do to your last songs played based on your app settings.
There use to be a feature to back up individual song, but it has been removed in the latest update to the music app... so this doesn't just affect the nexus 7.
Just a suggestion for non US W8 users: changing the location in windows control panel is the simplest way to change the store from outside the US, having more apps available. You can't buy apps, but you can download the free apps. You don't need to change language, numbers, ecc, just location.
Will try this! Thanks!
Works really well I now have photobucket, anymore app suggestions.
If you like your social media apps then Norto Satélite is worth it, only available from US store

Can someone please tell me a legal, easy way how to download music directly on the device (not using a computer)?
It would help get me in my boss's good books. He just got a note2 recently. He is looking for something similar to iTunes, where he can purchase (if necessary) and download music directly on his note2.
P.S. I am surprised I don't see a way how to download music from the Google Play Music app

You cant buy music from Google play in Canada. Not really sure about an alternative to itunes
I've removed the app from my phone, but the included samsung (?) Music hub app. Did that not allow for the purchase of music?
