Google Music BETA - Android Apps and Games

is it possible to only display songs on the cloud space rather than mixing the songs on the cloud and local storage on the phone?
so far my only solution to this would be if i delete all the music i have on my SD card...
but i'd like to keep them, so any suggestions?

Music - How do you do yours ?

I have a 2GB SD Card, and I wanted a nice way to sync music.
I use iTunes for my music, and wondered if there was some plugin that I could use so I could sync my playlists.
I tried syncmyportable but it needs the SD to come up as a mass storage device as in a drive letter on My Computer but it doesn't.
Is there a way to make the SD card show up as a drive ?
PS - I also used Media Monkey and this works, but wanted to stick to iTunes and not have more then 1 player, just gets messy.
any help appreciated.

Duplicate Songs in Google Music

I recently started using Google Music. Previously I had all my music files on the internal memory of my INC. I had just copy / pasted them from iTunes but now it looks like Google will sync that music automatically when I download new music to iTunes.
But I noticed quite a number of duplicate songs recently. Is Google placing duplicated songs on the SD Card somewhere? Should I delete the music folder from the internal memory or is it maybe just a fluke for these songs? Doesn't seem to be across the board though.
Google music beta has been pretty buggy so far. As for your duplicated, it might be because your tags don't match between what's in the cloud and what's on your phone. I guess you could remove them from your phone just to see what happens. Worst case is that you have to reload them.

Use Amazon's cloud and be done with it already.
I had the same issue. Here's what google said:
Albums stored locally on your Android devices may appear more than once
during uploading. After uploading has completed, Music Beta will recognize
and combine these album listings.
If an album is appearing multiple times in your library after uploading
has completed, this is likely because the 'Album Artist' field in the
metadata for your album's listings is either blank or appears differently
for each listing.
To combine these listings, simply edit the 'Album Artist' field so that
it's identical for each album listing. Instructions for editing metadata
can be found in the Music Beta help center at
I had the same issue so I uninstalled the program uploaded all my music and deleted off my sd card and internal memory and have had no issues...but do remember it is still in beta.
OP did you solve the problem or does it still remain?
im seeing kind of the same issue over here, except mine is duplicating songs in playlists in google music. i have 0 gigs of songs on my phone and all the music is coming from the same itunes. It will just put the playlist of songs twice in the playlist. kind of annoying.
i had the same problem with some albums i had on SD card.
all i did erase the albums from card.
I am having the problem were duplicates are showing on the web version of Google Music. I have no duplicate songs in iTunes and they all have the correct metadata. Most of the duplicated songs appear to be ones I purchased or got for free from Google.
I do not want to use Amazon cloud as it's not free.
If you have all the music on your couch with music manager attached, if deleted off Google Music online. Would music resync with music manager?
Ik. randomness
and did you already try with another ROM if the same happens to you?
Bi-Directional syncing is also a huge problem on google music.

Doubletwist alternatives for the android?

What are some apps that are good alternatives to doubletwist? I notice two problems with doubletwist
1. it is always using the external sd card (where my music is) and makes mounting (ie as an external ums/hd) difficult
2. it has trouble differentiating between internal and external sd cards on the galaxy s3 a lot of the time.
I like its interface and the ease with which it syncs. If I could Keep the windows client and switch the android client that would be ideal
I recommend poweramp. Its a fantastic media player. Now it available 50% off discounted price in play store.
Google Music ?
Maybe u can send an EMail Tod the doubletwist SUPPORT

Google Play music is good. Realplayer is good too.
For doubletwist features:
Album art downloading
Use MIUI music
For itunes sync
Drag and drop into memory card from itunes
itunemywalkman is also pretty good but i would suggest google music
Ramesh you dont get playlists like that
Dont like powrt amps layout
Will email doubletwist and checkout google music. Does your music have to be stored on drive or sd card?

For syncing with iTunes, iSync is the best by far. Doubletwist is nothing special as a player. Why don't you just use the stock app?

Advice on music management.

I'm looking for a solution where I can sync music stored on folders on my PC hard drive with my phone.
I've looked into Cloud music storage like Google Music, but wanted something where music would be sync'd and stored locally on my phone's memory card. Google Music requires internet to stream the music from Google's storage.
Basically, if I download a song and categorize it in my Music folder in PC (where I have subfolders for genres) - have that sync'd with storage on my phone. How could I go about setting this up?

How to view all my music from SD card?

I recently added all my music (roughly 90GB of music) to a Sandisk 128 GB Class 10 microSD. I put this microSD into my phone and my music players were unable to locate all the music. I don't know how, but at one point, all my music was finally scrollable. After some tinkering with the ".nomedia" file, all my album artwork showed up in my gallery. I've since then installed QuickPic to deal with that annoyance. However, I have been unable to look at all my music again. The majority of my music are in one big folder with no name, or in Shuttle, every song in it is called "null - null". How can I restore my phone's ability to view my entire library of music?
I've yet to try deleting everything off the card, and then retransferring, but that's a real pain in the butt and I would rather do that as a final option (though I don't know if that would even help).
I have tried deleting my music players' data and uninstalling/reinstalling and restarting my phone and unmounting/mounting my SD card, but still no luck.
Oh, and I am rooted on QF6 Hybrid Nougat ROM.
Sounds like the files are corrupt. To test this plug your phone into your pc and try playing the music with a media player on your pc. If the music plays, then it is not corrupt.
I had a similar issue a while back and it was because my music didn't transfer correctly and some of it wouldn't play.
