So I have been using the exercise app with my Gear 2 and I love it, my only complaint however is that I utilize Google Play Music for my song storage... I'd rather not lug my bulky Note 3 with me on a run so is there any way to transfer a playlist from Google Play Music from my Note 3 to my Gear prior to a run??? Thanks!
You may easily transfer your Google Play Music playlists using Musconv tool
I always use MusConv, you can try it. It's easy to use.

Ok so the shine is already wearing off the new update that gives Australia the option to purchase music from Google play, I've just bought an album and downloaded it and I wanted to play it in Poweramp but can't find it? Can anyone tell me why
It will be played and stored within Google play music.

But what if I don't want to play it through Google Music app I did just purchase the album I should be able to play it through what ever i like
I believe it is because the files aren't actually downloaded. You stream them from the cloud using the google music player application.

If you read the instructions some where it gives you the option to download as opposed to stream .Either for your uploads or paid for music .

So I contacted google about this, yes there is an option to download through the apo or through your pc using music manager (googles answer to itunes I guess).
If you download directly from within the app on your device you can only play it through google music.
If you download it via your pc I usjng music manager you can side load it and play it though whatever you want ie poweramp.
Quite frankly I dont see why google have to make it so difficult and just allow us to download it directly to our Devices and play it how we want for gods sake
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.
Is there a good cloud based music player? I love Poweramp, but now that I cannot have an sd card in my S6, I cannot keep 12 gigs of music on the S6. Is there a way to use Poweramp, and have my music on dropbox? If not, what is the best cloud based music player..????
I've been using Google Play Music since it came out. Love it.

I haven't used it, since I use Google Play music, but I have heard good things about CloudPlayer. It links to your dropbox account and lets you play the music stored there.
So now that Samsung is supposed to be making Google Play Music the default music app in their phones and tablets, think there will be a way to stream music like Spotify directly to the watch? I invest heavily in YouTube Red and GPM and don't want to have to switch back to Spotify...
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.
