Real simple question that I couldn't find googling on the internet. Is there a way to set the google player on the phone to JUST SHOW what's in the "online" and NOT your local collection? I can't seem to find a way to do this?
I am running google music player only to stream a few tracks on occasion when I don't have them on my local device and don't want to be going through my entire local collection in that program to find those few tracks. Thanks!

Anyone know a good way to manage music with a g2x??
I have well over 2k songs on my itunes. I have them all on my g2x, but it seems to have a poor music managing system.
Songs/Artists/Playlists are duplicated many times, playlists duplicate the songs within them sometimes, etc.
I'm wondering if theres a good software to manage the music on my phone?
Something comparable to itunes preferrably
I just want to be able to make playlists on my computer without them duplicating on my phone.
I've tried doubletwist, itunesagent (which doesn't copy playlists), and even winamp.
i'm just using Google Play
I'm just using Google Play Music as well and transfer my files via mass storage. Now I use the cloud for Google Play Music and just keep a few albums on my SD card. I have no problems with duplicates or any other issues.
You have to get a tag editor and
Make sure there filled out right... iTunes fixes them but the music players don't.

Kplaylist + MediaMonkey + Google Play
All my music is on an a private web server that can stream all my music. I stopped using iTunes a long time ago, but all my music is on this web server.
http://www.kplaylist.net/
If you can setup an Apache Service with PHP, you will love this app. Its the only thing I use and get my music anywhere.

MediaMonkey
http://www.mediamonkey.com/
I only use this to update the ID Tags of all my songs and add the album picture from the web. Its a bit tricky, but what I do is, when I decide I want to add and album to Google Play I tag and add the picture album then upload them.
I have like 40 gigs of music, and slowly have converted to Google play. I fix the tags and albums as I go. Its worked so far
Sometimes the picture or the album name comes out wrong, have to re-upload or manually correct it once its inside Google. It happens sometimes, especially if mediamonkey can't find the rare song online.

Google Play
If done right, all the songs will be properly tagged and the album picture inside. Its running better now then when it was called (Google Music). Used to crash alot. The only decision you have is "Make available Offline"
In the end, when its nicely organized, I use Google Play way way more.

I've been using Doubletwist and it copies my playlist from itunes just fine
I use Banshee Media Player. I have it set up to sync one specific playlist. It works in one-click and it even converts my FLAC files on the fly to V9 mp3! Even better, even though I have it set to sync one playlist, it keeps track of which tracks belong to other playlists too. I use it on Ubuntu but I think the sync options work on Windows too.
Edit: It also keeps my media tagged, downloads album art and sorts the files into an [Artist]>[Album] folder structure.
Hello members of XDA, Im new so forgive me if I post this in the wrong area.
im looking to develop a certain Android app, essentially, its a media player that is able to recognize samples of a song, isolate it, and allow you to search for other songs that sample it.
I have NO idea what I would need for this, I figure it would have to be a database of some sort along with a script or code in the app that can tag it, the problem is I know very little on how MP3s are built or how I can possibly do this without having the program actually look through the song itself. Also, it would have to be able to function as a off-line media player (granted without the sampling feature).
Thanks for any help
Just to clarify, its not like how Shazam hears a song and gives you the name, it would work based on some sort of tagging system.
Start off by using/understanding SoundHound as a base and progress from there...SoundHound has the ability to recognise, identify and tag a (incl lyrics) part of any song but it uses an online DB as reference. You then have the option to purchase that song from Amazon (or other online music store) or the entire album blah blah...so IMHO, this is a good place to start.
I don't like the Google Play Music application much, so basically what I was wondering was if I could play kept google play music songs and albums in another player such as PowerAmp somehow. From what I have seen there is no way to do this because google incorporates some sort of DRM in all of their music files, which makes sense, because they don't want people just copying and pasting kept music files that they didn't actually buy. I have determined the location of the saved music files to be in "root\data\data\com.google.android.music\files\music" if I am in the wrong spot please let me know. I have pulled the saved music files (MP3's) from this location but can not manage to play them in any music player. I also tried running them through a converter just for the hell of it but the converter instantly crashes when I try converting the file. I don't think there is anything that can be done about this but if anybody has any ideas please let me know!
not possible. stop trying
I don't think you can get them from your phone but you can most definitely download the songs to your computer as regular mp3's. You can then put them on your phone and use any media player.
on a desktop/laptop, open google play music. pick what songs you want, then press download. the downloaded songs that you got using google play music desktop can now be played in other music applications.
Even still...if you have not purchased the song, you cannot download it. All of the music in "My Library" that you've uploaded can be dl'd but not songs you randomly hear and "Add to my Library"
Unless I'm doing something wrong....
You can not download music on a pc unless you have purchased that music. On the android application there is however and option to download music to the device in a hidden location (root\data\data\com.android.google.music\files\music). You can download them, but like I said they are encrypted or have some sort of DRM incorporation so you can not play them anywhere but within the play music application. I don't think it's possible. I just wanted a few opinions on it.
Like the title says:
I would like to find a way to have a video playing in the foreground (without audio) while music from another app (Slacker, whatever) plays in the background. Basically I have a bunch of really cool HD videos that I want to play on our TV while entertaining guests, but the music on the videos sucks, so I want to be able to play my own in the background. Obviously I could edit the source videos so the music is different but that's not what I'm going for. I've looked for ways to disable audio or lower volume in just the video player app while the music app plays in the background, but so far to no avail.
Thank you!
Hi
This is a very specific question.
I would advise MX Player apk and its associated applications or try VLC for Android Beta
The problem is that it has so many video applications and that would be a long search.
I would advise you to go to the Play Store and searching and then post your request here => General discussion > Questions and Answers
Perhaps someone can give more infos about one app
Good luck
Hi, I love Mi4 but i have a very annoying problem with it. I don't know if you can be of any help on this. The default music player always search music online. If i want to search any music from Local(sd card), it starts searching online. I want to stop that, i want it to search only from musics files I have on local and not internet. Please help me. Thanks
