I have my library uploaded to Google Music and have no problem using it with my HTC Aria and Archos 101. I thought my wife would enjoy the benefits of having our music on demand, so I installed the app on her Inspire. When I click Menu>Settings there is no selection for associating our Google Music account. All I see anywhere in the app is to load music from the device's SD card.
How do I log in to access our Google Music account?
Figured it out. Did a force stop and clear data. When I reopened, I was prompted to associate a g account.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.

Hi all, I've been using Google Music for a few weeks now and it's pretty cool.
However, one issue I've faced is duplicate songs being listed, i.e. the songs I have stored locally and in 'the Cloud' show up in the Google Music app.
I understand it's beta but are there any workarounds? I've tried the ones from the Droid Incredible thread BTW.
Thank you.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I am seeing the same on my phone and was wondering what/if any solution is out there
I'm in the same boat. I've just picked up a Nexus.
Seems the only way to have them local and not appear twice is to download them through the app as opposed to manually copying them over USB.

Google Play Music - duplicates

Have you checked what shows as your library when you log into Google Play from a "regular" computer?
Sometimes, the info it has stored for album & song descriptions - whatever the heck they call it - is not correctly set for it to recognize that something is a duplicate.
Also, I know that it does not know anything about what I may have loaded just onto my Nexus, even though it "syncs" - must be one-way only, Cloud to device.
Songs have to be "downloaded" (uploaded?) into Google Music for it to recognize them. You may have duplicates because of this.
A very nice work around is to setup playlists of specific albums & artists, for your locally loaded stuff & what is not duplicated, and ignore the Albums & Artist display modes on your device. You can setup a playlist with just one album, and not include the tracks you don't particularly like - isn't there. usually at least one on most albums? - and just the locally stored or Cloud stored versions of the song(s).
I have everything on my Nexus at this point so I can listen when not networked. Then again, I have not had it long so I've not eaten up all my storage yet.
I hope this helps!

I got my Google Music invite today. I uploaded around 14 GB of music. This was around 2500 songs. It looks like Google limits the number of songs, not the storage. You can upload 20,000 songs.
Thoughts:
The "app" on my PC is kind of cool. Just go to music.google.com from your browser and start listening.
The Google Music app for Android on the T-bolt works well. I created a quick playlist on my PC and it was available on the T-bolt instantly. The app is fast and stable.
When playing music with the Android phone app, it will actually download and cache about 5 songs.
My biggest thought is that Google must be a little vexed about Verizon's new policy about charging for data. This will discourage users to store their music data in the cloud if Verizon is going to start the meter running every time you want to listen to music. Google's whole philosophy is to use the network, not local storage.
ever since last update... i keep getting FC on (process com.google.android.music)
suckkk
I have been using GMusic for a bit now. I use it in a different fashion than most people.
I only upload the songs I will use in a current play list. Total is around 20-30 sonds at a time. I delete songs I no longer listen to since the orig copy is on my computer.
I find this make the service very usable for the gym, car, etc. Dealing with thousands of songs would drive me nutz.
I have about 13.7k songs for my google music and its pretty awesome. The app does have some issues such as not going to the next song in the playlist but its all minor compared to what it is capable of.
I agree with the crashes though. I havent been able to get it to work on 3g/4g with bamf 2.1 remix or gingertheory 4.3
Trying now with bamf 2.1 nte.
Theres a thread here regarding the crashes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134027
Bummer about the crashes. I am running CM7 and I have not had any yet. Hopefully it stays that way.
The only thing I dont like about the cloud is,read the fine print,everything you upload becomes theirs even if you delete it they keep a copy of it.why?
Posted from my Nokia V560
been using it for a couple weeks my self love it so far cant wait to see where google takes it in the future. Also who care if they keep a song i upload even after deletion it is just music.
Well lets see,copyright laws and its not only for music it pertains to anything on any cloud,me I prefer to keep my stuff local,doesnt bother me one bit,that way its only me that has access.

Dont know about you but i could care less if google kept mp3 files i uploaded and did something with them. they would be the one breaking copyright laws so thats their problem. I personally dont upload anything other than music to cloud services like "google Music " like this thread is talking about not cloud storage or dropbox. but to each their own.
I have google music but am switching to amazon cloud.
Reason being my wife and I have separate gmail accounts and so it requires 2 google music accounts. Amazon lets whoever has your email and password access your music.
I'm pretty happy with it. Would love to Bluetooth control in the future. When using BT headsets,the stock music app only works.
I just wanted to know if there was any talk ever about software that would help me manage my phone and maybe that i could get music from?
Use Android Music to manage your music files and Amazon Music to buy the music.
It just seems weird that Google wouldnt do that especially with this device I saw called the Samsung Galaxy 5. When I found that, it prompted my original question because it is marketed as a music player.
I read somewhere they are working on adding a music store to the Google Music app

Check out media monkey. It allow for syncing to android devices. And only runs one background process (when running).. unlike iTunes which runs four at all times.

Correct - there was a press release that music purchasing through Google Music will "be here soon"
Ok so I cant post link but i did some more reading and type in,
google(dot)music(dot)com
and it takes you to a beta sign up. Theres a video. Its all there. GO THERE!
I live in Canada and managed to get the Google Music Service via US Proxy. I've uploaded a couple of songs to test it out but I don't see the song on my Transformer .
Do I need to update to the latest Google Music App(an apk exists on the web)? Also, does this app overwrite the Music App already on my transformer? Or should I just wait for ICS (2 weeks...) and it will have the updated version.
Thanks.
I got G Music working by signing up via a proxy service. TO sign up it wants you in the USA, but once signed up it doesn;t care where you are located....It does have some drawbacks tho....for instance I couldn't find a way to move the storage location (ie to the MicroSD), also it renames your music from the original file name to 101.mp3, 102.mp3 etc.....much like Itunes does....I hate this feature it means that I can't simply browse the Music folder and send/copy a file off to share if i want

I had the same issue, but after a few resets the app asked me to login to my Google account and my uploaded songs started showing. I didn't really need to do anything, didn't update the app. I,m on Brazil btw.
How-to: use Google Music from anywhere (yes, outside of the United States) -- Engadget
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/19/how-to-use-google-music-from-anywhere-yes-outside-of-the-unit/
Hey,
I am having an odd kind of problem with Google play music (version 5.01) on HTC Sensation running Elegancia Rom V 7.0.2
Initially when i install google play music and set it up by selecting my google account, it reads all the songs on my sd card and I am able to listen to all sd card music without any problems....but then on its own, after some time, the google play music app stops recognizing my songs and instead i see this screen(attached image 1) when i open the app.
(What you should normally see on opening the app should be something like attached image 2)
I am able to remedy this problem by going to clearing data in the app settings then opening app again and selecting account again...but i have to do it once almost every day, so its a drag..
Has any one else had this issue?
