Issue with google play music not showing music until reboot - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all just got my nexus 5 and loving it so far. Was on iPhone for many years but tinkered a bit with Android. I am having issues with google play music not showing music that I download until I restart my phone. Is any one else experiencing this or know how to get music to show with out reboot? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same issue. This is using the default Play Music app. Cannot see music I have downloaded until I reboot my phone.

I fixed the problem by changing to different music downloading app

Which developer is it by? There's about 8 different ones and they are all the same but they are by different people haha

Try the one with the most downloads. For som reason I can find the one I have installed on the play store hah. They all look like the same thing anyways so not sure it matters which you get.

Need music download app to replace music junk. ANY ADVICE?

I've always used music junk it was by far the best selection of songs then I also used mp3 downloader pro which I believe used the same server. They both now say network error anytime I search something. I've tried many on the play store but can't find anything as good...ANY SUGGESTIONS?

You can also try Napster, friend of mine uses it and really likes it.
Does anyone have a link to the new version of Music Junk?

Hmm, am I weird or I don't have that issue? I just watched about 4hrs of YouTube videos (Modern Marvels) but not directly on the phone, just pushed to the TV from the cast thing to my WDTV.
I played a few quick videos on my phone directly too before doing the above and it worked just fine. I do have issues with it on HSPA even though I have 7.5Mbps speeds. Either routing or prepaid carrier slowing down youtube purposely!

music player recommendations (other than Poweramp)?

I'm looking for a new player to use for my device, because Poweramp is extremely glitchy. anything can help. thanks

What kinds of glitches are you having with Poweramp? I've never had any issues with it.
Yeah, no glitches / issues for me as well! Runs smoothly..
If you want a change, you could try Musixmatch or rocket player..

its like from now, if I add music files, more specifically, .aac files, the time of the track has seemed to double, yet starts at the middle of that doubled time, so it plays normally. why am I looking for a new player is because it actually cuts the track at the end too early, and I want to actually listen to entire track.

I don't know about the doubling thing, but the end of the track being cut off is probably because of your crossfade / gapless settings which can be adjusted.
Personally, the only music app I ever used was Poweramp until I switched to Google Music All Access when I bought this phone. I haven't looked back.

what I meant was that it actually cuts off 2-5 seconds before the track ends. I've used the Poweramp forum to discuss my problems with little help.

Doubling of track time is a problem with the specific music file and not with PowerAmp..
Even I have faced this a few times but it was because of the bad file... I re-downloaded the file from a different source and everything was ok!
Seriously, there isn't any music app which I've found better than PowerAmp and I've been using it since ages!

My advice is Walkman Player...but you need root...the clearaudio equalizer is something that is amazing! I really love it!
You can try Shuttle+ found on the Play Store.

I suggest PlayerPro.

[Q] Music stuttering when turning on the Screen!?

Hi. I wanted to know to know whether your music stutters when you turn on your screen!? I tried Google play music and stock music player and both had this problem! I think it's a android KitKat bug! Because I had this problem on one of custom roms on my phone!

Same here. This is bothering me a lot. I hope someone helps us with this. Or an update comes to fix this.
Are you using a lock screen? I don't, and get no stutter at all with Google play music.

If I restart the device the problem disappears but again it will reappear after a while!

Google play music buttons

The music buttons started looking weird like this since I flashed from slimkat to purity
Sent from my Nexus 5
ok, so? what's weird about it?
Play Music updated to material design.
Before, the bottom buttons looked like this rather than have all the buttons cluttered at the bottom. Any way to fix that?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
That looks weird. Mine doesn't look like that. Uninstall it and download Music app through play store. Its has been updated.
Already did that, it stayed the same
