okay so i know this is kind of in the wrong thread but i didn't really know where to put it and you guys have deemed to be pretty helpful.
I recently decided to redo my whole music library and delete/reupload everything to play music. in doing this however i have noticed not everything is tagged properly, mainly album art. which is fine because i can always edit it BUT for some reason the play music web interface won't let me change the art for anything, it just, doesn't work. anyone else getting this?
I've been lately having this problem as well. Must be a problem on Google's end. Regardless, the issue has been here far too long and all my missing artworks are starting to drive me nuts.
EDIT: Guess I accidentally thanked you there.
Album art cover I gave up on that since the first week I got an android phone... always has been an issue for me :/

Looks like the UI has been updated and album art updating has been fixed, for anyone still watching this thread.

So in the past week I've come to really enjoy the new Google Music app and have been using it as my main music player. Unfortunately, since I've upgraded to EE03, the app is broken. I read somewhere that it has something to do with how Samsung edited the mediaprovider file. I don't know if this is true or not but does anyone have a workaround to make it work? If not I guess I'll go back to doubletwist or something but I figured it's worth asking!
Managed to get deezer working as an orange swap able on my nexus. This gives me a premium account and therefore the ability to download tracks for offline listening. Very impressed so far. Music choice seems varied but bear in mind I'm 40 so my tastes might not be everyone's ....
The android app seems a little clunky and I can't see any way to play downloaded tracks in any other app.... has anyone managed this???
To get the swap able working use dolphin browser and convince it you are on a GS2. Will post the string later if anyone is interested ......
I've been very impressed with the deezer service.
I to looked for a way to play offline music in another app. My guess is the deezer app caches the files in an unreadable format. Similar to how google music does. There is an app available now that is able to convert cached files from google music into a readable format and let you play them in another music application. I doubt it would work with deezer. But someone could release something similar.

Struggling to understand how the "my mp3s" bit works. It doesn't seem to find existing music on my phone and half the instructions are in french
it didnt find any of my music.
I have a question for you guys. Can you play songs on the Deezer website? I'm getting really frustrated with how it changes all the time!
At first I couldn't, then it started working for a few weeks. Then it stopped working again for a couple of weeks. And then since then I've been using the Deezer website for unlimited music for ages. At least I think that's how it's been, basically it's been on and off!
Now today I went to play music and it had put me on to a free account and I had to activate my Orange subscription (for like the 3rd time now, does it do this every month or something?!), and now I can't listen to music on the website. It's killing me because I use it allll the time on my laptop!
if it is still actual:
i've been looking into the files deezer stores lately and found out:
they are mp3s!
they just hash them before they save them and then somehow decode them when it's playing.
if someone is interrested to know more about it and understands java quite good let me know and i'll hook you up with the info you need
I'd be interested in finding out how to save the hashed MP3. There are quite a few albums on there I've downloaded and as I swap my phone regular but the limit on freezer mobile devices is two.
Cheers

There was an app called cloud music sniper that would do exactly what you are asking for but i cant seem to find it now.

Hi guys.
Any news on deezer decrypting music?
I also found out they're mp3-s, but can't get a way to dehash them by any possible chance, Anyone had any luck?

I am on the hunt for the best music playing app. I currently use Google Music, as it is one of the best I have used to date. My problem is with the new limitation on devices I am eventually no longer going to be able to use it because I flash new roms all the time.
I don't want to store all my music on my SD because it is not exactly the most efficient way for me. I want to be able to stream my library just like the way Google Music does it, but I can't find anything that works as nice.
I'm sure I will not be the only one that will encounter this problem with the stupid limitation thing.
Any ideas???
I thought Google had fixed that a couple weeks ago? Have you tried checking on the Google Music webpage on your computer?

Yea, Google responded pretty quickly to that uproar
http://www.androidmag.com/google-resolves-music-device-de-authorization-issue-now
I'm all for Google Music because of the cloud integration. I still find it amazing that I walk around with my 15,000 songs and 100+ playlists in my pocket.
I believe the stock audio player for CM9, Apollo, will also be a market app if I'm not mistaken. Anything from those guys is definitely worth checking out
thanks. I didn't know they fixed it. I cleaned up my device list now. Let's just hope that they don't put a limit on this in the future.
That's a pretty liberal use of the word! This stuff is garbage! I've been reading every post I can find on both the internet and these forums, to no avail. The problem is some of my albums have REALLY poor quality artwork. I mean god awful, looks like it's a thumbnail blown up to fit on a big screen bad. Now I have tried everything I can find to fix this. I've used Album Art Grabbers. I've cleared the data on Google Player. I've even manually moved the MP3s in question onto my computer, used my Meta-Tag Editor to FORCE them to use High-rez artwork by directly encoding it into the files themselves. But no matter what I do, nothing works. When I clear the data for google player(forcing it to re-build my library) at first my new high-rez images are there. But the spinning circle indicating Google isn't done f**king with me is still going. When it stops, my shiny new album artwork has once again been replaced by garbage!
Anyone else severely frustrated by this? I'm seriously pissed. Album art, it's one of the easiest things in the world to manage! hundreds of free players do it just fine. But the all-mighty Google can't get it right? Am I missing something or are we doomed to a life of high rez screen + Album art from 1992?
No one?
I do not have this problem. Try going to the web interface, and changing the album art on the edit album option.
Yeah my Google music purchases look great, however the ones media monkey pulled in look like garbage.

Mine looked really bad in Google Music when I first opened it, but after the update pulled for the app on day 2 they looked fine.
Mine look awful too! Either they are blown up and are EXTREMELY pixelated or its the wrong album cover! I have my music manager set to upload music from my iTunes and all of my iTunes music has HQ Album Art and are accurate. Anyone know why it does this?
I had a huge problem with artwork, I ended up having to manually enter all of my artwork on iTunes. None of the artwork iTunes pulled for me stuck to the files. It was a tedious process but works great now.
I web searched each album that had poor res art and downloaded at least 400px art and tagged it to the albums with Media Monkey. Real pain at first, but once done all look great.
Hi guys,
im also a proud owner of a note 2 since yesterday, stepping up from a s3.
But i have a little problem witch i cant solve or understand by my self.
The problem:
When downloading, lets say an episode from a tv show threw aTorrent and it had completed download i cant find it in the video player app, it is like it is hasnt updated it yet.
When i go manualy threw my file folders i CAN find.
So it is in there.
The only way now to update the video player is to, or reboot the Note2 or wait for 30 some minutes before it shows in the video player library.
I didnt had this problem with the S3 as it updated the library almost instantly.
Is this a known bug? Or am i doing something wrong?
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks allot guys!

Never had this problem, i throw my episodes (arround 1gig each, HD) just on my External and Internal SD and its instantly in the video player, try force closing the video player and reopen it, maybe it does refresh then.
When I download picture messages, sometimes it takes a minute or so to show up in the gallery, so I know what the OP is speaking about. Not sure how to fix it though. I just clear RAM and check the gallery until it shows in there.
I have the exact same issue .

I have the same issue since s3 and I feel it's a bug from jelly bean. Bug is that media is not updated in the gallery. The only solution I found is to run the media scanner again. The easiest way is the "scan media" app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5kY2Quc2Nhbm1lZGlhIl0.
Just run it once after you download anything, after a couple of minutes, media will appear in gallery.
Thank you so much guys!
Glad to here it is a bug of some kind.
Now with the scan media app as sohebq has mentioned i can directly update the library with succes.
Lets hope this bug will be fixed in the next update.
Thnx again fellow geeks
