Format SD card as Internal but trying to get Google Play Music to save music to SD! - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So when I bought a 128 gb sd card. And I format it as internal I can move the apps to SD. But when using Google Play Music saving offline saves to my actual internal not internal SD how do I fix it?
Moto X Pure edition
Android 6.0

I did the same at first, then reformatted sd as external storage and just used play music's native storage selection. I'm a heavy user and the 32gb internal storage is fine if I'm not storing my media there.
Google play music storage selection....

Spotify Query

I know that on the N1 Apps can only be run from the 512mb inbuilt memory, does Spotify allow you to store offline playlists on your memory card?
Yes it does. Spotify stores all its music on the SD card in an encrypted form.

I have the keyboard and the sd card is using the standard 32bit format. music is in the media folder copied from my hts desire, same as pictures and movies.
All of which work on the desire but are not visable through any of the default installed apps, I have also installed various free apps which again do not show the files.
I can play them seperatly via file explorer and they play properly but do not stay in the history.
Contacted Asus who suggested that I clear the apps cache via settinges/ applications etc.
Tried that several times including reboot before opening apps and no joy.
Also having the issues with google maps downloaded and cached maps. only work on internal memory.
Not rooted yet but depending on these issues will either root or return.
The media services will only recognize internal memory and /mnt/sdcard.
You have to move any music/videos/pictures manually into internal memory or sd card.
The Music app and gallery find the stuff on my Micro SD without a problem.

any way of switch from interal to external storage

I was wondering if there any way of switching storage where data can be store. For instant, i want to store all the temp internet files on my microsd card rather than internal nand.
I just have benchmark my class 10 microsd and it is faster than the internal storage. The microsd is a class 10 16gb card. What I really want is to store all data on the external and my music for the internal.
Any help would apprecciated.
It would be useful for privacy reasons. Like storing all browser cookies, cache etc. Maybe someone will come up with a hack.

[Q] Saving to internal SD card

hi - I have both internal SD card (2gb) and an external SD (8gb).
My external card is full with music, whenever I try to take video or photos from the camera, it says there isn't enough space.
How can I use the internal SD card for saving photos / video from the camera. In fact, I can't see a way to use the internal SD cards 2gb at all?? surely it is usable??
Thanks
I think that default camera app doesn't save data to internal storage if there is an external, but in market there are some camera apps which have this option(I think lg camera is one of them)
You can just move some of music, video or photos to internal storage, to make room on external sd.
Cheers, I'll try moving some of my music to the internal SD card

SD card question.

I've just added a 128gb SD card.
Does anyone know if apps like Spotify or play music automatically use the SD card when downloading music?

It depends on if you formatted as external storage (the default) or internal.
If it's external most apps won't do it automatically. Google Play apps (Music, Movies, Newstand), YouTube, most camera apps, podcast apps, etc., have an easy setting in them to specify using the external sdcard.

I can't see any setting in play music that allows me to use my 128gb card.
It's claiming I only have 2gb free?
Spotify I know for sure sets it automatically after a new install. As for Play Music, you have to set it manually. If you didn't format your card as internal, you should see the option to change storage.
