I have about 5.5 gb of music stored on Google Music.
I downloaded the Google Music app on my galaxy phone and then told it to make all my music available offline.
All my music downloaded and is available offline but I can't figure out where the phone is actually storing it and the amount of storage used only went up by ~3gb.
I knew at some point, but I don't use that feature anymore. I think it might have been on the internal sd . . . sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music
If that's not it, install DiskUsage and find it. Should be fairly easy if storage use went up by 3 gigs.
That was it.
Thank you.

I have music on my device (made available offline) then I flashed a new ROM. Now my phone doesn't recognize that its there. How do I either delete the o.ln device music, or myke Google Music recognize it again?

Try going to Application Manager, force closing Google Music and clear its cache and data. Then go to apps and start Google Music. It should redo its sync for both on device and offline music.
If you clean flashed a new ROM, your music that was made available offline was deleted. The music is saved in Play Music's cache.

After getting the All Access and which I love, I was trying to figure out if I could actually download music to my device (similar to iTunes), is this possible or no?
Yes you can.
You must make the album that you want part of your library.
Click on it and look for the push pin icon. It's to the right of the album artwork in the grey bar..Click that and it will download to be used offline

Can I locate those files then and move to my SD Card to keep? Because I only use streaming services for discovery, I use Poweramp to actually listen to my music

As far as I know, no you cannot. It keeps your music in the Play Music cache and it's encoded..or some ****. So basically only that app can read your music.

I follow the Boston Red Sox. A card always appears in Google Now when Sox are playing. The thing that drives me nuts is sometimes there is an option on the bottom of the card to show play by play but sometimes that option is not there. I love the play by play option. I like the format better than espn gamecast or mlb app. Anybody know how to get the play by play option to be there?

Coming from iphone how do you manage your music on the S8? I know I can drag and drop but what music player do you use and also does it bring in your playlist?
the Play Music app is there by default works like a charm

MusicBee. For Windows, it's the best, really. My library is in FLAC and it converts to MP3 on the fly.
You can choose to sync with specific playlists and it does send the playlists to the device. There's an option to send the content of the playlist(s) but not the playlist(s) themselves as well.

but how are you getting your music to the default music app? are you just copying to your sd card? If so how are you managing your playlist?
yes I open it via computer create a music folder and drop your music. Play Music will automatically recognize it

i hear ya it plays all your music. I dont use the data on it just listen to my music. So far best music player
You can go to the Galaxy App store and get the old "Samsung Music" app that was included before too.

I download all of the Subscription based music from Google Play locally so I can play it without internet. Love it.

Power amp all the way! It's about perfect.
I'm using iTunes app, as all my music is on the icloud and without downloading it all it was the easiest way to get at my music.
