so i updated the google play music app and hate it! i looks like the phone version now, dont want to revert, but was wondering if theres a way to make an app that can connect to your google play music account and stream it, if not can we take that app and remake the ui?

I just got a galaxy tab 2 10.1
and want to install Google Play music as I have on my phone, its stating it is not compatible, I Love the interface on it and plan to use the tablet in the car so it would look nicer with the full screen album art.
Anyone have any ideas on how to install or other alternatives?
Thanks
Nick
no one know?
I really dont want to have to wipe and install a new rom, my galaxy s2 is my play toy for that lol
what App? Google Play Music???
seems to be an Provider App... If u have one Device with running the App, try to Backup and Restore it at the other Device
just try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.appbackup&feature=search_result
?? huh? i have google play music on mine and i didn't even access google play to download and install it. are you certain it on there? because i think they come standard and should be compat.
I have search the forums and not found what I'm looking for so I will start a thread.
I just used Google play to purchase a album and I selected the download to device option so I wouldn't have to deal with any storage in the cloud. the issue is when I scan folders for new music or using the power amp app, it cannot find this new music. I have used root explorer and can not find the folder Google play placed my purI feel pretty stupid starting a thread for this but any help would be appreciated
Sorry, but when you purchase music from Google Play you have to use their app to play it back, which is Play music. I do not believe there is an option to download your music, because it is a cloud based service. Amazon mp3 is the same thing as google play music, but you have the option to download your music rather than only stream it, which is much better imo.

I was afraid this is what I would find out. I normally purchase my music from Amazon via the download function. Kinda pissed I made the purchase now and can't burn a copy of it for the CD player in the car.
He is correct, can "only" be played via the Google Music app, but there is a work around. Amazon does let you download instantly, but music is 260kbs, Google is 320kbs. You can download your google Music on your pc and manually transfer to your device like any other mp3, or even upload it to amazon and download from there.
Google Music removes the instant dl, but adds full mp3 quality sound.
You then can use any music app.

This is correct... The website allows 2 downloads of each song, presumably so you don't download it to all of your friends computers.
However, you will find the files under /data/data/com.google.android.music/files, but unfortunately the filenames are just numbers, again presumably because they don't want you to copy the songs. It will just be a pain to find which is which.
Short and sweet, but someone had mentioned a mix of 4.4.2 OTA and GPM's update fixed being able to play music via Touchless Control. I'm on 4.4 (not 4.4.2) VZW and can confirm that Touchless Control now will play any song in your phone. Give it a shot and let us here at XDA know if the same is present for you all cheers!
You can only play the songs if you bought them through Google play right? I never bought any songs from Google play, I just uploaded my collection into google music. Whenever I use touchless control to play music, Google search just takes me to google play, it never opens the music app
Nope, I have Ariana Grande's CD ripped myself and it's stored on my "sdcard" not the cloud.
EDIT: I do have music through GPM's store, and those worked fine pre-update, but now music that I've copied to the internal memory works, so it seems to have been fixed for all media that GPM sees.

Don't know if you were referring to my post in the 4.4.2 thread, but I am experiencing the same with touchless controls playing music. Most of my music is ripped and stored on the phone as well, and it pretty much plays anything I say using the phrase, example "play The Beatles". Since you don't have 4.4.2 like I do I assume the update to GPM fixed it. Thanks for posting.
I think it only works in the US.

When I say "Okay Google Now, play The Script" (or any music) it verifies it's going to play it, goes into the GPM and then it just pops up a keyboard and the song file, as if I had searched for it via GPM and not Google Now and doesn't start playing it automatically. I have Google Now set to start playing GPM as my player of choice, but it just acts like I was looking for it and doesn't actually play it.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Mine does the same thing with the keyboard, (don't understand what the deal is with the keyboard) but it plays a song. Are you sure your not set to pause? Have you tried setting GPM as your default player again?
You know, it really depends on what mood my phone is in, I told it to play "What's My Name" by Rihanna and it played it, but if I tell it some songs, it will search it and say "Couldn't start instant mix" and won't play, despite it showing in the search results. I think it's still hit or miss, but saying an artist (providing Google can pick apart the artist's name) it will play them. Work in progress for Touchless Control (Actually this is a Google Now thing) but once they find more bugs, GPM will get updated and actually use the API's correctly. As far as I know, this is US only until they open it to more regions.

Does anyone know if Google are going to ever update Play Music for the Nexus Player? All my other devices have the new interface.
Been using google play music for many years. But with the latest update it's not working well on nougat roms and when its working, it again and again asks to subscribe. Offline music search gets crippled.
So any suggestions of a music app that supports searching and choosing what to play next?
thanks.

Power amp, best app i've ever used, easy and many cool features.
Are you looking for a local player or streaming? Makes a huge difference...
n7player, Neutron, BlackPlayer, MediaMonkey, Pulsar, or PowerAMP as mentioned before...
God... I miss WinAMP!!!
Shuttle its pretty nice, but im using this port https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...sony-xperia-music-9-3-5-0-0-port-apk-t3555386
@acejavelin I'm looking for a local player.
I personally like VLC for its ability to play formats like WMA. It does have a search function and ability to create playlists.
Black Player EX is the best to use
@acejavelin Really strange, when I got this phone 8 months ago and logged into Google the first time it reinstalled Winamp for me, but it is not in the play store or my app list.
I've used PowerAMP for over 3 years, love it.
