Hey guys. this is a pretty self explanatory question. I love Google music. I think the cloud service is stellar and I like the way it has ALL the music on my computer without ever having to put it on my phone. The only gripe I have is the music player. I like the player well enough but, im used to Playerpro and like the over all aesthetic value over Gmusic. The problem Im having is that there is no way to have my music that I say to "Make available offline" available on anything other than Gmusic. Is there a way to download songs and albums off Gmusic and use them on a separate player like PlayerPro? I know there is a way to move around files, but I already tried that and it was a no go.
Download it to play offline.
-or-
Try Cloud Music Sniper from the market.
There is some progress being made on unofficial APIs of Google Music: From Android Police

Downloading it to play offline does not let me use the music in anything other than the stock Gmusic app.
Just put it on your phone and be done with it!
Try looking for the downloaded music in /sdcard/Android/data/com.Google.android.music/cache/music

Im not sure on what works out not just try them out
if you have a custom ROM, it's all included in the gapps package (not movies, dunno what that is). Problem is, you can't use Music anyway (to buy songs) unless you fake your IP AND provide a US credit card.
You can activate your G Music simply by faking an US IP and then upload your songs (look for how to's online, there's plenty).
Movies and books please: )

Is there a way to store shows, movies, and videos I load in the Google Play movies & TV App? I would like my videos to display for selection just like downloaded store content. I know I can go to settings and personal videos, but they are being stored in my gallery by default.
Thanks,
Rick
A few years ago was possible but nowadays not. Use Drive, Dropbox, Box etc.

Thanks for the reply. So, is it better than to just download a separate video app. I don't download much content from Play, and may make the default app disabled and just add a third party app.
I'm coming from iOS and just not as familiar with how all content gets integrated in.
Rick
Anyone else have any feedback? Where do you store your video content you will consume later? I'm coming from iOS where all media was stored in the player regardless if it came from ITunes store or was manually loaded onto the device.
I store mine on the N7 in either the Videos or Movies folder where MX Player can find them, though it would find them wherever I put them.
I also keep some on my pc for viewing at home by streaming them to the N7 with ES File Explorer.

Long story short - I'm looking for suggestions/lists of what apps do you find essential on your tablet or phone. Please be very basic! Assume I don't know about it if I don't mention it in my list.
Looking for apps that solve these problems:
Basic tablet info app - cpu and information
Cleaning app (maybe SD maid?)
Good mp3 music player app I can't seem to find one that I like - I love Winamp for/on my pc - I need one that also has a skip back 10-30 seconds - one that acts like smart audiobook player
Good podcast app - one that acts like smart audiobook player I just love the features of that app (easy to use, auto rewind, lets me look at my library, simple interface, "just works")
Good browser - not chrome (evil), one that does not crash with lots of tabs open, like Firefox for desktops
Adblocker - I'm trying Adaway
Firewall - the one I used to use doesn't work now
App to let me play videos on a screen - I've heard about casting apps and use but I don't know if it really works well or not, and if you need TV that works with it. Maybe there is some plug in dongle you can get to make this work?
Essential magisk modules - I'm very new to this, I just have @ianmacd 's recommended fixes so far
Busybox? - is there a good version to get?
Xprivacy - I need to see if this is still a good app to use, it was nice on my tablet - if not I need to find a replacement
YouTube? - I just use YT in dolphin browser because the app never made sense to me, is using the app a good idea or
Notes - app to write notes that automatically saves (Samsung notes does not do this)
Grocery list app - that will also work with my wife's iPhone
dark mode for Oreo - (supposedly in pie) or a theme for the tab S4 that just works?
Video player - for my own files like saved YouTube videos
Email app for my AOL account - I used to use k-9 but that stopped working for me - I haven't found a replacement I am looking at bluemail but haven't tried it yet
Apps I've heard about but never tried:
Any suggestions for getting them or not?
Tasker - not sure what people use this for
Substraum
MS 365 for Android due to unknown problems I don't have this automatically installed
Dropbox - is the app worth it or should I just use it in a browser?
Something cool, a cool app, lol, but seriously what do you think is just cool
My list of apps I utilize frequently
Dolphin browser - best I've used for Android but it crashes frequently with a lot of tabs open. My wife's iPad can open limitless tabs without crashing. Sigh, I really don't like Apple.
SwiftKey
Tweetings for Twitter - I like it, but you can't save videos from it.
Quickpic - I haven't seen a better android picture viewer
ComicRack - paid version - love this for comics
LMT - the BEST launcher/one hand phone tool. Kills me I can't get it on my phone (note 9 unrooted)
Smart audiobook player - paid version - absolutely the best
FBReader - paid version, absolute best
Titanium backup
TWRP
Magisk - I'm new to this but it's cool
Pocket tanks
Zarchiver - I can't live without it
NextRadio
Diskuasge
Greenify
My phone explorer client
Standard apps I use - are there better apps for these?
All Samsung
Phone
Messages
Calendar - I need a video on how to use calendar for my family and then make everyone do that
Email - for work email
Long story/explanation
I'm just getting back to rooted android and tablet use after almost 4 years of not using a rooted phone and my old tablet unusable because I need to preserve it for imaging so I can get my son's baby pictures.
I started phones, only land lines, then relic flip phone, with a Samsung galaxy S4. I rooted it and loved it until it died. Got unrootable Verizon Note 9 last year and have felt like I've been castrated and jailed. I got a Note Pro 12.2 tablet in 2014 which was great but it crashed and I had to reset it (I was lazy and didn't backup in TWRP) and lost my son's birth and first Christmas pics, so I had to abandon it because I haven't had time to image it and then forensically carve for the pictures.
I feel like I don't recognize much anymore and would be grateful for suggestions.
Also if there is another forum which would be better for me to ask for help in, I would love to get suggestions on where that would be.
Thank you for reading, and your kind suggestions.
Sincerely - I really appreciate it.

Your preferred airline(s) for boarding pssses
With a Tab S4 you can have many hundreds of apps, the key is to use a good loader and organize. I have 5 pages of apps. Homepage has the apps I use most, readers, dictionary, cloud storage, app stores, music players, pod cast, gallery apps, etc. Then I have a page with personal accounts, online & brick & mortar shopping, travel. Page three has sports, streaming video and audio, local video. Page 4 has all games. Page 5 has utilities, cameras, optimizers, etc. Within the pages you organize the icons into groups. I find 5 pages to be manageable. Like having multiple desktop monitors on a PC....

Thank you that's extremely helpful!
I'll try moon again. The last time I used it, I didn't like it, but it's been forever.
I really appreciate you posting your go to list.
I use good lock and one hand operations. Makes using the tablet much nicer imo.
Basic tablet info app - cpu and information - Settings->About
Cleaning app (maybe SD maid?) - Settings->Device Care->Storage
Good mp3 music player app I can't seem to find one that I like - AIMP
Good podcast app - I don't do podcasts
Good browser - Samsung Browser from Play store so far is the best for me even under LineageOS, has Adblock, contrast theme (black background to save AMOLED and battery)
Adblocker - see browser
Firewall - root needed, u can configure your router for anything, inlcuding adblocking
App to let me play videos on a screen - MX Player, any app which allows Casting
Essential magisk modules - root needed, I don't see much benefit given no custom ROMs
Busybox? - latest, free
Xprivacy - N/A
YouTube? - Youtube Vanced on xda
Notes - should be tonns of those in Playstore
Grocery list app - again
dark mode for Oreo - get Pie upgrade and use night mode
Video player - MX Player
Email app for my AOL account - comes with Email app in OS
Apps I've heard about but never tried:
Any suggestions for getting them or not?
Tasker - say, regular nightly reboots
Substraum - themes, but the choice of thems, and permissions they ask is ridiculous
MS 365 for Android use SmartOffice for doc,xls, ppt
Dropbox - app should be worth it if u use Dropbox, I don't share my files with some random cloud provider.
Something cool Waze for navigation
My list of apps I utilize frequently
Dolphin browser - worst browser, use Samsung
SwiftKey - nothing wrong with stock keyboard
Tweetings for Twitter - I use browser for all my social media, apps do unusual bad things.
Quickpic - Gallery and Google Photos are fine
ComicRack - paid version - N/A
LMT - I like Nova Launcher
Smart audiobook player - paid version - if u say so
FBReader - paid version, Coolreader is free
Titanium backup - agree
TWRP - it is not an app
Magisk - I'm new to this but it's cool, I'm opposed to rooting without ROMs
Zarchiver - I can't live without it - it is OK
NextRadio - OS comes with Radio client
Diskuasge - Setting->DeviceCare
Greenify - I'm opposed to rooting without ROMs, free Greenify has limited functionality, Samsung OS now does the same things in battery saving mode
My phone explorer client - Amaze File Explorer for me
Phone and Messages - try using Signal if u care about ur privacy
Calendar - I use Smooth Calendar for its widget
Email - for work email
So MX Player vs VLC player:
I like MX Player's ability to zoom video using screen gestures. But I've had limited success casting to a Chromecast. It only got the feature a shirt time ago, and virtually everything I try to cast doesn't work with chromecast. I've never had issues casting local files with VLC Player.
