Hi all!
I have music on my phone. It played before without streaming. Now when I try to play music on my phone it tells me it wants to stream it.
This does not happen for all music just two artists so far.
I've confirmed the data is on the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ray
I figured it out....

I figured it out. I had changed the name of the folder on the phone to shorten it. I just reloaded the music files with the shortened folder name and they work.

I was wondering if it would be posible to make my PC play music from a player or streaming site after it detects that I am home. I was thinking it would detect my phone is on my wifi network then start playing music. I tried Google but maybe I am just not using the right keywords.

You can do a lot more than just play music when you get home. Must have app for anyone with root.

Like the title says.
Is there any way to have the music I have bought on the play store to be on my internal storage to be readable by other apps and devices?
I always played my music I downloaded from other places through my Xbox by just plugging my phone into it. But I uploaded my music to Google play so that it would be synced to my tablet. Now I can't do that at all without dlna (which I can't play while playing a game). There has GOT to be a workaround or something, I can't be the only one with this sort of problem......

You should be able to grab mp3s from the play store. You should also be able to strip the DRM tags with e.g. eye3d. This requires that you own the music and you'd still have to transfer it to your (emulated) sdcard.
Besides that I can recommend subsonic + dsub. It's an awesome tool to stream / play music and it can stream e.g. to a chromecast. It might be possible to use it in jukebox mode, which means you'd need a raspberry pi or alike and you could play your lib with it. But I have not yet tried that (I have a chromecast ).
Basically: If you don't know how you are going to play your music in 5 years don't buy from crippled stores. And noone known how to play songs in 5 years from now.

Thanks for trying to help. I used the play music downloader in PC and put my library on my storage. A few songs are showing up twice in my play music app, but not all. I can live with this I guess. Hopefully Google makes this easier in the future.

Google play music is crappie. I stopped using them a couple years ago. And again thank you for this app
When I am at the gym or out running I normally listen to audio books or podcasts mp3 files. Does the music player on the watch handle resuming from last stopped positions? Can the positions be synced back to an audio player (any audio player) back to my smartphone? Thanks!
I did a lot of research on this and I don't think there are currently any out of the box solutions that do what you (and I) want. The closest thing I have found is to sideload "Material Audiobook Player" onto the watch and adb push your mp3 files there as I describe in this Github issue. The only thing missing is to sync back to the smartphone. This is a smart watch only solution. I love it though
Thanks for the work around! That was the last thing I wanted to know can be set up before taking the jump to buy the smartwatch!
Podcast mp3s should work no problem. You just have to upload them to Google music or download them to watch via Sony's software.

No problem, this was exactly the kind of information I was looking for when I was doing my research. I ended up buying anyway, and was worried for a bit that I wouldn't find anything. In the end, it's not a perfect solution but it works pretty well for me. Ideally, I would love it if Audible would sync the book onto the watch for offline listening but I seriously doubt that will ever happen.

There is now a better way. There is an app called "Wear Media" that handles transferring the files as well as playback (and saving your position in files). It's a wonderfully helpful app.

Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely give this a try, will be easier than using adb. Does it sync play position between phone and watch?
Wear Media works great

I use Wear Media to listen to books while I run and it is great! Unfortunately, I don't think it syncs play position between phone and watch.
To send a lot of files, install ES File Manager on your phone and sideload it on your watch, disable Bluetooth on your phone and use wifi to send files from your phone to your watch.
There are instructions to do the transfer on YouTube, just search "es file explorer wifi transfer".
Hope this is of some help!
Has anyone gotten the phone to send metadata to their car through bluetooth when using Google Music? It seems to work with the default music app. Is there a way to fix this or work around?
Got the same problem with Spotify and Deezer, though the latter does a better job. When streaming Spotify qua Bluetooth to my car radio (original Volkswagen RCD -510) the radio display is just showing the first streamed track name, the following song's names aren't updated correctly...
Got a Galaxy S6 GM920F on Stock Android 5.0.2
Are you steaming the songs or are they downloaded into the phone already?

Streaming doesn't work with Pandora either. It works from time to time with Milk Music.
works fine for me in both of my late model cars, with Pandora and spotify, and google play music
Has anyone figured out a work around if any possible? Weird thing is that it does show meta data for that samsung demo song the phone comes with when it plays with the default music player.
I get both streaming and downloaded or copied music while using a Kenwood DDX 719 unit.
Pandora or Milk.
Also all my contacts while making or receiving calls.

Is the USB Micro port capable of being used to copy music to and from the device?
Bluetooth is so Battery hungry and slow... I was hoping to just plug her in and copy the music over.
adb
Just use adb to push your music to /sdcard.

I was able to "adb push" some 100 mp3s in a couple of minutes to the SWR50 by turning on USB debugging and using the default Android ADB interface driver, however I only have one playable song (that I sent over BT via Walkman app as a test) in the music player. I tried pushing mp3 files to both "/sdcard" and "/sdcard/Music" directories but could not make a pushed song visible by the music player.
Anyone had any luck with this?
Anyone had any results/success with the above?

No.
It seems you have to either use the walkman app or register via the google play music store (with a credit card!!*) to be able to play the music.
This is a really poor implementation either way - having to send music to the cloud and then all the way back again to see it on your phone.
I guess someone will come up with a workaround app sometime soon. Or at least I hope so!
*apparently you can register for the google music download manager then remove your credit card info from google wallet and it will still work (but it means your details are still there, somewhere).
You could try installing Play Music or some other music app via adb
This works for me. However, the app I use to listen to music is wear media player. You can find it in the android wear forum or on the play store. If you can't, I can link to it.
Someone also broke the forum rules to promote another paid app that does the same.
Where is the Walkman and Google play storing their music?
Does anyone know where I can push music to be able to play it though google play or walkman?
I tried wear media but I can't get it to play song in the right order.
What is the order you want? Are you trying to play a playlist? I do not think Google play recognizes sideload music.
Also, if you are dead set on a drag and drop without adb solution, twrp (for 5.1.1 supports mounting the scared as a flash drive).
