I have root access file explorer.
On Google Music, you can cache music to the device for offline play.
You can find the cached music in /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music as mp3 format.
I tried to copy the mp3 to SD card and try to play it in my computer but the file does not play. The file itself has size but no tag information and no music player for Windows can open it.
Has anyone come up with a solution on how to extract mp3 files from Google Music?
Thanks.

my windows media player won't play *.mp4 files anymore.
it used to play them without any problems just click on the file and it will play.
now when I click on the file, it gives me an error; cannot play the file.
However, if I go to the library of WMP, it will play ok.
now the other problem is whenever I play any movie, not all of them will play in landscape although it used to play all of them in landscape
please help
You need to fix the file association for .mp4's. You must've messed it up somehow. You can do it with extended file explorer or total commander.
Is anyone able to find it? I'm using root explorer and when I go into sdcard android .com.Google.music files its not in there. As a matter of fact, both files and cache show up ad empty. I want to use n7 player to play the Google music I have marked as offline. Thanks.

Google Music off-line cached music files can only be played by Google Play Music. It's done to protect the music from being copied. I don't have root currently so I can't tell you the exact location, but I know I found them on my last phone but their names are obfuscated and they will not play with any other MP3 player.
The only way to do this for tracks you have bought (but not All Access tracks) is to download them to a computer first and then copy them over to your phone.

That is a good point. I was finally able to find it on the Nexus 5 after looking at every possible folder. It's in data/user/0/com.google.android.music/files/music I can't get any other music play to play when it's in that folder. However, if I copy it over to the typical sdcard/music folder, N7 plays it right away, albeit without the mp3 tags or artworks. But since all my music is in Google Play, and I have a process on my computer to autosync my new songs to google play, I'm just going to stick with the Play Music. I actually really like Play Music, but was just exploring other music players. There's really no point to when we have such a good system with Play music.
I have flashed LRX21O build on my nexus 5. The problem is the media present in the phone memory is not getting recognized.
First I have flashed the stock image and then did the setup and all
Next I copied 10 songs from my PC using USB cable. Those 10 songs are recognized the google play music app.
Next I download one song using chrome browser in nexus 5. That downloaded song is not playmusic app. But I can browse to that song using ES file explorer and choose play music app to play that song. Then I the app is able to play the song ( using es file explorer and choose the play music app to play the media we get a small floating type window and play music plays the song) the file is of mp3 format. The problem is not with the song. Its with the media scanner not able to detect songs. Anyone else are facing this problem?. Any solution for this. Please help
Hi,
Every time I copy music files (.mp3, etc) from my computer to the internal storage of the Huawei Mate 7, the Music player can't find any of the music files. I tried transferring to the device's Music folder and Audio folder to no avail -- the Music Player still can't find them. Manually tracking it in the file folder reveals all music files are stored though. But the Music player app keeps on saying "0 music files".
Am I just missing something or do I need to sync it first? Or do I need to use the Huawei Desktop Suite software so the music player recognizes all relevant files?
Thanks

Have you try with another player like PowerAmp or Neutron ? Normally in preferences you can specify in which folder your music is stored.

Thank you sir, I downloaded PowerAmp & Neutron and both were able to automatically track the music files. I wonder why the native music player (or even Google Play Music) doesn't do that automatically.
Hi, I have been a lifelong Apple user and recently decided to switch to Android as I pre-ordered the new Samsung Galaxy S10. I am wondering how I can transfer my iTunes Library to Android and have looked on the internet on how to do this.
However, most tutorials only show how you can transfer music which you bought in iTunes to Google Play Music. What I like to know is how I can transfer my music in iTunes (which I downloaded from Youtube in mp3 formats and then manually uploaded to iTunes) to an Android music app such as Musicolet. I like to have the same playlists as in my iTunes, and I have all the music files on my computer. Doing this manually would take ages as I have almost 4000 songs. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

The simplest way is just to copy .mp3 files and playlists directly into /mnt/sdcard/Music and any Android music player should be able to read these files
AirMore
Just look for the directy files of your downloaded music then use this app called AirMore to wirelessly transfer them on your Phone. Using this tool will allow you to selectively choose the files you wish to transfer from PC to your phone and vice versa.
You have all the mp3 files. You can literally connect the S10 to your computer, navigate to the file directory (like how you put a USB in a computer and see all the files), make a folder called music, and drag all the mp3 files to the folder. This is how i've always done it. Every samsung galaxy device has a preinstalled samsung music application, where it allows you to play music. It will automatically pick up all the mp3 files and you will be able to listen to it.
Hello,
The best and simple way is to transfer your music files from PC to Android. To do this you have to just copy iTunes music files to media folder and connect your PC to Android by using USB cable.
However, there are many other different methods which you can get in this article transfer iTunes music to Android phone.
Create a new folder on your desktop.
Copy the music files to transfer into the new folder.
Connect your Samsung to your computer with a USB cable. You may need to adjust your phone settings to transfer files via USB.
