I have tons of mp3's stored in the music folder of my Nexus 5. Poweramp can find them and play them fine. Play Music though, says that no music is found on my device. Any idea why?

I uploaded all my music to google, but a few apps I use have mp3 files installed on the sd card of my droid charge. How can I set the Play music app to look only at my online music and forget the music on my phone?

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.
Hi just got my new Nexus 5!!eek! It's amazing and when I tried to put all my music on to it, I opened Google play music, all the music was there but when I click on any song, it says music playback error cannot play track. This is really annoying. I have tried a reboot as I did some research (others are having this issue) and also I've tried settings, apps, media storage, clear data, which also has fixed most people's. I use mp3s from my own laptop and don't download them from Google play by the way. Help much appreciated!! Thanks!

Is there addon to get google music to display lyrics? I use musixmatch when I want to read music lyrics, but the player is ugly, has ads and won't recognize the songs uploaded to Google music using WiFi, tunewiki is pretty much the same situation.
IMO this should be already a stock option :banghead:

Is there a way to choose a song that's in my phone's media library to play on the phone? I'm using Poweramp, but wouldn't mind moving to Samsung music or Google Play music if they have Tizen apps.

I don't know if this works with Poweramp, but you can use pre-installed mp3-player app on your Gear to control your music on your phone. At least with Google play music.
Inside mp3-player app you can choose the source with the icon on the top right.
