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.

Check your settings and see if hide unavailable music is checked. If it is uncheck it. It hides all the music you need to stream from the cloud and only shows what you can listen to with out an internet connection

This and make sure your Google account is sync'd with your Music app.
Open Music Beta app --> Hit Menu --> Settings --> Google Account
Sometimes you.have to force.close google music.after you force close it open it and it should say you have been invited to google music prompt. After going through the prompt your music should begin to sync.

I know this bug. Uninstall Google Music Beta and re-download it from the Market. From the setup you should be able to get the settings option which includes selecting an account to sync with.
Google Music is not ready for my primetime. App freezes when I hit next track (same bug in the native Android music apparently) and force closes ALL THE TIME. The whole concept of having YOUR own music in the cloud when it could be local on your sd card is still a work in progress. My only use of Google Music (right now) is just listening via the website if I forgot my Tab at home or something. Absolutely not necessary on the go as ALL my music fits on my memory card.
I use PowerAmp to play my music since its the only music app that works on my Tab that won't freeze and force close like Google Music and Music Player do.

I had to also do this on my Epic. I would also have it FC and freeze up as well. Now it does its job. Sync'd and ready when ever I need my music. I have about 7K so far from my Comp.
Hey all,
I am trying to sync music that I downloaded on my nexus 7 to my s3 via Google play music. I know it sounds like an an easy thing to do but I can't figure it out. The music was not downloaded from Google music though and I think that might be part of the issue. Any thoughts?

It needs to be put into the Google music cloud through the computer. Once your music is in the cloud you can get it on any device with your account on it.

How long have you waited? Often when I install Play Music it seems like nothing is there then I go back and an hour later all my music has thumbnails.

So basically if I have music on one device it has to go onto the PC then into the cloud? There isn't a way to just upload it from any device?

I think Google is trying to help prevent piracy by adding another layer here. But they require you to use a PC. I would strip metadata from the songs ie:downloaded from.... You never know what they will be monitoring. Many cloud services get a bit nosy with your files. Not saying Google has, but you do agree to only upload music you have legally purchased. Also you may have problems with legally owned music due to DRM, I highly recommend Wondershare media converter to strip DRM, and media monkey to manage libraries.
I can't even find my music with google music manager

I can't even find my music on my phone when I connect my phone usb and try to upload music. When I did find a folder with a cpl albums it would't upload em, as if they didn't exist wtf???? I go to an album click to select it and it says folder empty. I googled around and finally found this post which hit on my problem. I also see where you gave advice to strip the data from music or something if you didn't legally buy it
(110% of my music is dl from internet for free) and I'm thinking that may be my problem. If so can someone give a detailed explanation as to how I can fix this prob? Thanx in advance man!

Hey everybody, I just updated my music collection on my phone via sync from my computer and now 99% of the songs are not found because of a different file name. I want to just reset all of my music players and search for media again but I don't see the option. I've already tried clearing data in play music and the stock player to no avail. Anyone else know how to go about this? I'm running twisted ics on the HTC thunderbolt.

Have you tried to wipe data of the app, uninstall the app (by settings - apps), reboot, and re-install the app via the play store. Try this.
You can use Titanium backup too.
If it doesn't work and you want a better and specificaly help for your device go here and post your question:

I'm thinking about utilising Google drive for more uses such as storing my music etc.
I know I can do this but is it easily listened to if I do?
Also can I put app data on drive and still use games, eg if I have ff3 and the app is installed to my phone, could I then move the data folder into drive and it would still work?
Cheers

I would think of Google Drive as more of a 'online locker' rather than an extended memory card.
While you can store music on it and access it via your phone, you'll find it much easier to have your music directly on your phone.
If you want your music to be stored online, look more into Google Play. It'll host your music online and you can listen your songs with the stock Play Music app on the Nexus 5 as long as your signed into the Google account it's connected to.
More info here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1075570?hl=en
As for games, I don't believe Google Drive will allow you to play games with data files stored onto it. It'd be a very risky move even if you could! You'd need an extremely reliable connection or you could corrupt data.
I have a question for anyone using Google Play music. Has anyone else noticed that when playing music using All Music uses much more battery than just On Device even if ALL of your music is on your device. I've noticed that in my data usage screen Google Play Music stays as the highest consumer of data which makes no sense as all my music is locally stored. Chrome or Play Store should be the highest user of data. I am only playing music that is store on my SD card and have noticed a time or two that when fast forwarding in a song it'll buffer as if it's streaming. I've also went to play a song a couple times and noticed it buffering as well. Anyone else seen this????
has your music been uploaded as well as saved to the device? if so it may not have recognized that.
thats the only theory I have as I had an album on my device that got uploaded but it kept them separate. The only way I could tell is if i went to save to device and it was blacked out.
Yeah the music is both saved to the phone via usb transfer and has been uploaded onto the Google servers. But yeah it seems like it is keeping them separated for some reason ei. if the song is both on the phone and on the server when All Music is chosen it prefers to play from the server instead of the phone storage.
Maybe try just downloading the music to your device and get rid of the stuff you manually saved. Not sure how many files we are talking here. And naturally, you would want to do this via wifi

I've thought about that but we're talking about 20GB+ of music. lol Which really wouldn't be a big deal except that after any clean flash of a ROM I'd have to redownload everything again.
Then there's no point on having your music on the cloud

That's how Google wants it though. It seems the only way to get album art working on the My Library widget is to upload your local music to google's servers but it seems in this case it is then streaming those files instead of using the local ones.

^^^^Exactly, this is why I uploaded to the cloud^^^^ Even if I used id editors or album art editors after every rom flash I'd have to go back and reinput album art that was missing. At least this way the art stays. I do think I've found the culprit though. I had been using Bank's core gapps on SlimKat which requires you yo download most Google apps through the Play Store as this gapps package contains minimal apps. After using SlimKat's gapps again which has Google Play music as a system app and not a user app, it seems to have gone away. It really shouldn't matter how the app is installed but it seems to have helped.

I've searched the issue after running into it myself and there are unresolved forum posts all over about it. Even using Album grabbers to replace already existing art hasn't got the widget to show anything but blank squares for some including myself. Of course while listening to the music the album art works normally and replaces the lock screen.
Editing the ID tags might do the trick you say?
