Has anyone figured out a way to backup and restore music from Play Music that you "kept on device"? Titanium Backup doesn't seem to do it unless there's some magical option I'm missing. Painful to have to redownload all of the songs I want to play offline everytime I wipe.

Anyone else finding problems with this?
Noom/CradioTrainer and SpeakToIt (Assistant) are 2 apps I use that can use music/playlists on the phone, neither of these apps can find any music or playlists but both apps claim to work fine with "stock" Android music players.
These are just 2 apps I use, I'm sure others use different apps that use music on the phone, how are you finding them?
Is there anything that can be done by the user to rectify this?
is there anything I can go back to the developers with to help it work better?

The package name of the new Music app is different from the old one. The developers just need to update their apps to send the Intents to the right package.

do you know what it is?
and would it affect backwards compatibility?

Actually, nevermind, I was wrong, it's not an Intent, it's a ContentProvider that hasn't changed in ICS, so I'm not sure why apps stopped being able to query playlists...
Those apps wouldn't be able to find your music from the Google music app anyway because that music comes from the cloud. Unless you pin your music from the Google music app, those songs wont store to your phone for the other apps to pick up.

The Adidas miCoach app still picks up playlists from the Music app fine, so it must be something to do with the apps you're using.
hey,
I installed power amp but when there is lock screen it shows first the original music player.
On the original music player there are no settings at all. and i tried the poweramp settings but for no help.
my last option that i can think of is to remove the original music player, or at least to freeze it.
is it plausible?
If it is, which file i should delete\freeze ?
And can it harm something else ??
Go to poweramp settings and make sure lock screen widget is enabled. Also make sure that the stock music player is playing.
You can only delete/freeze/disable the default music player if you're rooted.

yeah, the lock screen is enabled. but why do i need the stock music to play ?
and yes, my phone is rooted.
You should be able to remove the default music player with titanium backup. Not sure if it will affect anything else though.
You can make a backup of the app before removing just in case you need to restore it again

I have never had problems with uninstalling the stock music app with titanium backup.

Oops, meant not playing
Maybe the stock music player is switching on when you play, and you're getting the default lock screen widget instead of whatever you want.
If you're rooted, then titanium, su/terminal commands, and plenty of other apps will help delete stock music.
thanks guys.
My Q is what is the name of the app freeze\delete ?
Cuz i cant find it. i freeze couple of apps but it wont help.
maybe something lockscreen app ?
Not sure what rom you are using, but beware of deleting music.apk as on gingerbread roms deleting music.apk also deletes the video player, im not sure if there are separate apk's with regards to ICS or JB, so you may wish to look in to that prior to deleting music..
connect your phone to pc/mac go to command line/terminal and type:
adb shell rm /system/app/Music.apk
you must have adb installed. in ICS and JB it does not delete the video capability. Some ROMs come without GoogleMusic and video works just fine. However, as far as I remember there is an option to turn off the default player in lockscreen.
root your phone, and then use something like root explorer and find the apk file and remove it

i do this with every rom i flash. never had an issue.
You know, one of the biggest reluctancies I have about flashing a new rom is my music playlist. I only have about 300 or so song however I have a mix of various things including Rock , country, Christmas, and kids stuff for my toddler. So, I use Titanium backup to backup my apps and so forth and it works well with the exception of playlist.
Whether I am using the stock player or the MIUI app or whatever. Just doesn't work. So, I am wondering if you guys may have tips or tricks on another backup that handles playlist better or perhaps another way of managing plalist all together. If I knew where the music app I am using stored the playlist maybe I could manually back it up to the SD card and put it back upon reflash or something similiar. I do not like cloud storage as I do not have unlimited data. So, what are your thoughts?
Maybe there is a music app that would sync just the playlist information online....

Power Amp has the ability to export/import playlists to SD. It's also one of the best music players available.

Is there a way I can create a backup of my ROM that excludes the cached songs from Google Music? The only way I know hire to keep the file size down is to clear the app data but then I lose all the albums I've pinned.

Is there a way to store apps in a cloud storage service? I'm not worried about pics, vids, or music cause i use skydrive for my pics/vids and play music for my songs. Just curious....

Install them on a cloud storage service? Or backup all the apps? First won't work. The second... might, perhaps using Titanium Backup and then uploading the backup to the cloud.
Titanium has cloud options in the app for storing backups.
