Okay, I've been using Google Music Play for a while now, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to download a single track without downloading the entire album. So, I know the little pushpin under the album will download the entire album, but what about a single song from within that album? See the screen shot. If you long press on the song, you'll see the menu appear that doesn't have the option for "make available offline. I think I'm just missing a minor detail, but I can't figure it out.
I used this article from Google Help:

I hope this makes sense,
Thanks,

Hi.
I just found a problem with the TouchFlo music player, and wondered if anyone else had the same problem.
I've got all my music nicely organised, with album art, and it all works a treat, until I try and scroll through "All Songs" in the library. Basically, all the songs jump off the bottom of the screen, and usually stay there. I can't scroll up to go through the list of all songs.
Anyone else have this problem, or better still, does anyone know of a way round this?
Basically, if I've got "All songs" selected, and it's on shuffle, I get a good selection of all my songs. If I want to select a particular song, I should be able to scroll to it in the library and play it. Because of the problem, I'd have to select it via either the album or the artist, and that would change my playing selection from all songs to album/artist instead.
What a pain!
I only want to listen to Nurses Whispering Verses without losing my place! lol
I have this problem as well. Dont know a way around it tho. When i scroll up or down all my music just disappears and I'm lookin a nice bright EMPTY screen. Its annoying!
What is the best way to have album art for each album on the HD?
Hello it is a known problem with the current HTC album. It seems to be from having too many songs. I happened to me when i added about 600 or 700 songs. I tried reducing the number but had no luck until i remove them all and then readded only 450 or so and it works ok now.
For album art first you need songs arranged in /Music/Artist/Album then you can either have Folder.jpg in each album dir. or you can attach the album art to the mp3 in the file info. the album art should be 200x200. both methods work for both album and S2P using the Folder.jpg is necessary for Win Media Player.

I had the same problem. then I solved everything, simply by moving the music folder!
I have had that problem as well. Present on some roms, not on others. Not present in Duttys 1.9
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try moving the folder to see if that has any effect, or just put up with it since it's only a minor annoyance, and just hope HTC sort if in a future upgrade.

You don't have to worry about the size. Mine are all different as I just googled for them and saved the biggest I could find for each album. Sometimes it wouldn't show an image, so I just deleted it and downloaded a different one.
I've got this problem and troubles me a lot,
I have over 500 songs in the library and it seems that the problem was due to too many songs on list
i think if you use advanced config or HD tweak to increase the cache size used for hte TF3d it would work properly then .. and faster scrolling too .. i am not so sure . i had this problem i did tht and deleted some songs ... then it worked fine
Anybody has a real solution??
anyone????
^_^
I'm using another rom and it's working perfectly now (i'm using this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562952 but it's working with every new roms i think)
I've been tweeting with a guy whos currently using wp7 and this is the info he gave me for anyone wondering about downloading from the web browser
@sedp23 you can definitely download pictures to the pictures hub. Not sure about audio yet. Let me try.
i gave him a link to try to download a song
@sedp23 ok, direct mp3 links download and play. But doesn't look like I can save them permanently to my library on the device.
@sedp23 yep I can play it on the device. But no option to save it.
@sedp23 yeah I guess it's downloading to some temporary location. Images you can tap and hold then select "save picture". Not mp3s.
now keep in mind he has a developers handset so maybe this might change come the final version but if the mp3 is downloading and playing on the device im sure there has to be some kind of way to save it and add it to your library. If anyones out there with a wp7 can u add to this? is there anyway to add the songs u download to your library?
This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you play a full album in Google Music from my GN? I open the album I want to play, hit the drop down menu and hit play, but it only plays one song.

There seems to be a bug in Google Music that I've noticed on both my Fascinate and Nexus (both running ICS) where if you pick more than one track to play (e.g. an album) it will only play the first track. Press play again once it finishes that track, and it will continue playing the rest without a hitch.
Try long pressing on the album in question before going into it and selecting play. See if this works. It usually does for me but a few times I tried this and its played a completely different album. Google Music is still super buggy, but its still in beta.

It's no longer a beta. They're not hiding behind their 5 years of beta-tagging like they did for Gmail.

I've observed this as well.
i don't know if this is normal of not - when i use google play (downloaded from play store) and the album cover pic doesn't change. if it switch between artists (different "folder") it will change, but if i have 1 artist with like multiple albums it won't change album picture. and yes i'm sure the song has an album art attached
refer to sig for my phone specs

Yes, it is normal. This means, that the music files (MP3, M4A, 3GP, WMA etc. ) have not got the albumart saved in the binary...
Just ignore it
how do i fix it?
There is no way to "fix" it... Just leave it as it is

You can add or edit album art for your music on the Google Play Music "play.google.com/music/listen". There is a small arrow to the right of each album and track that will bring up a pop-up menu when clicked on. Just select edit, change album art, and upload your new art.
I have noticed that sometimes the album art is slow to update when I'm listening to music and my phone is getting a week signal. It may take 20 seconds or more to update.

again, i'm not trying to add or edit. there already is album art on each individual song. the problem is google play is not updating and changing when there are different albums in like 1 artist

Have you tried resetting your phone to clear out the cache?

I have the same question.
all my mp3s have album arts, but none of them show up.
a solution would be nice.
Browse Play Store for "Album Art Grabber", run the app, in the interface choice "clear", yes, "clear", it will clear old album art database of the Google Play Music, then start Google Play Music, it will show new album art of the songs.
I had a similar problem a while back, you have to use the internet and go to Google play music and change the pictures in there, then they get updated withing the music app.

Hi all
I have a couple of questions to help me finalise my music widget. Hope you knowledable bunch can help!?
I have it will set and then cover art shows as does the track make, artist and album. I also have a process bar for track progress and a text field for track time elapsed.
My question is how do I have these blank or say "---" if there is no music playing.
Currently it still shows the previously played track.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
Ok so I've figured that out now but I got one more question.
How do I have a certain bmp or something for cover art when nothing is playing.

You could try $#TMU_ISPLAYING#=1?#TMU_TRACK#:YOUR TEXT$
Second question is pretty much the same thing, use in advanced parameters instead $#TMU_ISPLAYING#=0?bitmap[/b ]$

Yeah I actually figured it out in the end.
I used the method you quoted above.
To reduce on thread spam I'll post my question to see if anyone can help:
I've spent all day trying to get Media Utilities to read off the track and artist name from Spotify on my G3 and I've finally gotten it to work. However, when I press the pause button on my widget (bound to Media Utilities play/pause), Google Play Music starts playing music. I tried disabling Play Music, which causes MU to crash.
I'm not actually using Themer, as it causes major lag (G3 isn't acutally supported yet), and somehow in Themer you are able to choose which media app to control. Any idea how to do this in Nova Launcher? Any help is appreciated.
