I'm linking my Note 2 to an FR-S 10 with a factory Pioneer HU. I'm using the music player that came with the AT&T Note 2. It connects, the phone works great, music plays. The problem is that when I connect to the music player by bluetooth, there is no option to scroll through the albums. It just presents a scrambled list of songs in what appears to be no particular order. Is there a setting I'm missing or is it the phone? If it matters, the folder structure on the phone is <Artist> <Albums>. The songs are labeled by order number and name within the Album folder.
So, for example, //sdcard/Music/Aerosmith/Rocks has within it
"01 - Back in the Saddle"
"02 - Last Child"
"03 - Rats in the Cellar"
and so forth.
Anybody have any ideas?

I installed Spotify on my Nexus today and whenever I try to listen to a song I just get a "INFO" box that is blank. I checked the settings and it's configured to sync over 3G and Wifi, but not 4G. Could that be an issue?
This is the first time using spotify so im not sure if thats a new issue or if I misconfigured
turn 4g of on your phone and try again.
it should work fine, the app is ICS compatible

how do I turn off 4G, and why dont they make it work on 4G =D
I would uninstall and reinstall the spotify app. I play music over 4g all the time. The syncing options are for syncing your playlists offline so they don't effect how your stream music.

+1 for reinstalling Spotify.
That did it for me
Is it possible to do this:
Tag a song I hear in the car with Shazam
Use the option to listen in spotify
download the song to my phone over spotify
set the download directory to my google music folder so it automatically syncs with my home pc?
When you download music in spotify, you don't actually get an mp3...spotify keeps it separate so that it's available to listen to offline through spotify, but isn't available to distribute (anti-piracy measures). It's also how they assure you keep paying for spotify (you can't keep an offline song for more than 30 days without "checking in" to spotify by going online.
that sucks! Any good apps to actually pull down the mp3?
Random Reboots?
Has anyone else experienced random reboots while listening to Spotify?
I have synced a large number of playlists for offline play (over 4G), but now almost half the time I am using Spotify my GNex does a reboot at some point while listening to Spotify music.
I haven't verified if this issue deals with local (non streamed) music in general, because I only have a handful of local MP3s stored on the phone (was planning on using Spotify for most of my music needs). To be clear, this is not a streaming issue - all of the tracks and playlists I am listening to have already been synced to the phone.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Am I the only one experiencing this . . . ?

This whole post is kind of nonsensical because you don't have access to the Spotify music as an mp3 and there's no such concept as setting a "download directory" in Spotify. As well, Google Music on your phone won't ever upload music to sync with the cloud. The only music that gets synced/uploaded to the cloud is through the Music Manager application on your desktop computer. The Google Music app is simply for accessing / playing the music / making them available offline.

I didnt realize you cant save the mp3s,i guess if i could i could "save" them to my dropbox account which would sync them to my own desktop. I was hoping to be able to hear a song in the car, tag it with shazam, download and have it on my home computer. Ah well
Hi. I noticed that some of my songs with Japanese text in the title/artist ID3 tag field don't display properly in my phone, regardless of which media player I use. I opened the phone's music folder on my computer and the songs appear to have garbled text, yet when I play them on my PC's media player the tags are correct. Same thing happens when I transfer them back to my computer: the tags are as they should be. Somehow the phone isn't reading the characters properly but I'm not sure what I have to install to stop that from happening.
My Galaxy Nexus doesn't have any problems displaying ID3 tags in Korean.

Thanks! That worked perfectly.
hello guys, i'm an android user and i was wondering if i can add music from my sd card to my L900 by dragging & dropping the songs in the L900 music folder?. so far i've just been downloading a crap ton of my old music with the zune free trial but it's taking a while.:crying:
If you have them on your computer, put them in a folder where Zune can see them (or change the Music Library folders in Zune) and you can put them on your phone that way.
I've tried mounting my Google music with GMusicFS, and yeah, that works, but I'm looking to use the actual Google Music app. Every other music app I have sends metadata to my car headunit, but Google music only seems to send the time info (track length, where you are in the track, etc.). No artist, no song name, nothing. I've been digging into this a bit and have found other phones that work with it, so I'm thinking it may be a LGOG thing? Any thoughts on this?
I think it's definitely a device implementation. I have a HTC One, and a Nexus 4. The HTC One is the only one that sends metadata over bluetooth to my car's stereo. That data does include the artist and the song name btw.
I use the Google Play Music app to play music that's on my phone (as opposed to music that's in the cloud). If I put a standard extended m3u playlist on the phone, the app shows some of the songs in the wrong order.
Extensive detail of the problem is at http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/50425/wrong-playlist-order-in-google-play-music-app/50496
One person who posted there has the same problem.
Do others have the same issue? Any idea how to fix it or at least better diagnose why it's happening?
Yes, same problem here. Most songs keep in order but some don't.
It seems to be related to either the length of playlists, mistakes in the playlists, or the use of subfolders. It doesn't seem that fixing the play list fixes the sort order.
My playlists for albums all import fine. I think the largest album I have successfully copied over is about 24 files. The common thread for all these good playlists is that the playlist is in the same directory as the songs in the list.
But I do get playlists that are screwed up.
The latest was 65 songs long and had some mistakes in it (misspelled filenames). It also had songs from the folder I put the playlist in as well as songs from some subfolders. When I had fixed the mistakes, it still is misordered. I tried deleting the playlist from the phone, then deleting it from Play (it still listed the playlist as if it existed), then recopied it to the phone. I even tried deleting them and renaming the playlist to a new name and copying it back over. No joy. Funny thing is, it always imports in the same (incorrect) order.
There must be a memory leak in their m3u playlist file reader, I imagine related to reading subfolders.
In my case, playlists which play fine in other music players have problems in the Google app, so I doubt the problem is with the playlist. I've only tested long playlists, so that could be the cause.
I'm somewhat surprised Google hasn't fixed this. I've since moved to Shuttle music player, which does everything I want and doesn't have any issues with my playlists.
