Every time I turn on my GTab I get a notfication that Google Play Music has stopped. I also get the same notification everytime I try and use the app to play music. Any one else have these issues and a possible fix?

I'm streaming Google Music right now. I use it frequently and I've not had this issue.
I would suggest clearing the application cache first. Go:
Menu>System Settings>Application Manager>Google Play Music
Then click all of them, "Force Stop" then "Uninstall Updates" then "Clear data" then "Clear cache."
You will have to re-download any updates, and any songs you've cached locally to the phone, but it is as close to cleaning out the system as you can get without having to do a full factory reset.

I already did all that and still had the same problem. Even tired using the older version, well oldest on ICS which is only one version back. I've just disabled it for now till google comes up with another update to try. I've seen threads for other devices about the same problem with no solutions either. And it seems to be hit or miss for tehm too, works for some people but not others.

Every time I wipe my Xoom, the music app is missing the settings menu. As such, I can't get to Google Music. In the past, I've always just uninstalled updates and re-updated from the Market. However, the last time I installed the Tiamat ROM, the market will not let me do ANYTHING with the music app other than open it or view more info. The "uninstall updates" button is gone, and there's no uninstall or reinstall option.
How can I fix it? I don't care about fixing the market problem unless it's necessary to make Google Music work, as that's all I really care about.
Thanks in advance!
Huh, so, after restarting the app for the 5000000000th time, it randomly showed up. Well, I guess maybe this info will help someone else with this problem hopefully
I have an issue with the music recognition on Google Now. Whenever I try to ID a song, it looks like its working but then suddenly the search will just crash and I'll get returned to the home screen. Sometimes "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped" shows up for a split second before going back to the homecreen. I have very rarely gotten the music ID to work, usually by searching for the same song multiple times after each crash. If I use the sound search widget, it works fine.
Interestingly, If I uninstall the latest update for sound search in the play store, I get better results. (Doesnt crash as much, IDs more songs)
Wondering if anyone on same/different roms are having this problem, or if its just isolated to me.
I am currently running CM10 stable.

I have the CM10 stable release and the Google music search works fine. Maybe clearing the data & reboot will help??
System Settings -> Manage Apps -> Google Search -> Clear data

Clearing data and rebooting did nothing to help.
Addendum: Wiping cache/dalvik and doing fix permissions helped initially, could ID a few songs, then returned to previous behavior of crashing alot.
Hi,
Recently started the trial of Google play music all access.
I have the Google Now apps installed so My Moto G has the full 'OK Google' functionality going on.
For some reason, the phone 'beeps' and opens up voice search for no reason 80% of the time when a new track starts, or if I skip a track.
Does anyone know why this is, This is usually when a quiet instrumental is playing at the beginning of a song so It's not being driven by someone saying 'ok google' in the song ..
Any thoughts whats going on. I don't want to disable voice because its actaully very useful when driving to control google maps, etc.
cheers
I had this same problem with the general Play music when listening through earphones. However after the application update a few days ago, I haven't found it again.
Maybe you can consider updating if you have not already.
its updated. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

it was a software problem. I unistalled the updates for Google play music app and reinstalled them. This solved the problem.
So there's a well-known app in the Google Play Store that has been updated - I don't like this new version.
Before I updated, I saved a copy of the version I had on my phone, locally. After updating, I didn't like it. So I removed it, enabled Install from Unknown Sources, and reinstalled the version I *did* like.
Now, when I update apps from Google Play, I do "update all", then go to the app I don't want to update, and click the "x" so that it doesn't update.
The problem is, sometimes it updates anyway, even though I've verified that the app has gone to the "Updates" list and not the apps currently being updated.
It *appears* that this app is somehow forcing its own update, even though I have deselected it.
I'm using a stock android kernel, so I can't keep it from updating across the board. But I'm surprised that when I deselect it before the update process has reached it, it sometimes still updates. Again, it SOMETIMES does this, not every time.
Does anyone know how this process works? How can an app force itself to update even though I've unselected it for update?
What you want to do is open play store, open the app in the market that you don't want to auto update, then, in the top right corner there should be 3 dots, click them and disable auto update, it will disable auto update only for that app and when you hit update all, it will update it.

It's already disabled for auto-update (as are all apps on my phone).
So, unfortunately, that's not it.
If you tap on the clear data button in settings>storage>apps>google play store , the settings" do not Auto update " will be cancelled, and app will return to default settings.
Whatever the settings maybe, google play store and google play services update automatically.

Not sure what you mean; I can surely clear Google Play settings, tho' I've done that many times in the past. What do you think it would clear that would fix this issue, if auto-update is already off?
I set up my Pixel 2 yesterday and noticed that whenever I try to access a search within "Settings" I get a "Google Play Services has stopped working." Nothing seems to fix it. I've tried 1) uninstalling updates to restore back to factor installed version but get a "Uninstall unsuccessful" message and 2) Trying to uninstall Google Play Services in hopes of reinstalling. It takes me to Play store with instructions that I need to "deactivate" before uninstalling but the deactivate button doesn't work. I also tried emptying the cache but that did nothing too. Is this a known issue with Play Services and is there something else to try?
You could try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, call google support.
I did a factory reset and now it works most of the time. It seems like it may also be affected when "developer options" is enabled...I like to disable animations to make Android feel snappier.
