Is it ok to disable all of the Google Play Apps? I am talking about Play Books, Play Games etc? I am too deep in the iTunes ecosystem. I am not sure if they are running any processes in the background, so I would rather disable them.

Safe.
Pretty much anything the stock OS will let you do should be okay, to an extent.
Ok, thanks all.
I've disabled virtually all of them myself with no issues.

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!

Is it okay to disable Google Pay Apps such as Google Pay Books, Google Pay Magazines, Google Play Movies and TV and Google Pay Music. I do not use any of these apps but I see them running processes in the background. Always...
Also if I disabled Talk and Music Hub?

I just switched to android and was wondering if there are any good apps for downloading music, I am currently running stock 5.0 on my Note 3.
Amazon, Google Play Store, Spotify, Shazam... Take your pick; there are a lot of music service stores out there.

There is loads! I personally find Spotify (Online music) and Google Play Music (Local Music) are a good mix

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
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
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.
