The recent update to google play music has broken the ability for 3rd party apps to 'play tracks' via Google play music.
I use the smartconnect app to play tracks through Google play music when it detects my car's Bluetooth, but with recent update to the play music app this no longer works.
I've gone into apps and uninstalled the recent update but the same issue persists.
Anybody else running into this issue?

I realize this is a very obscure error, but any help would be greatly appreciated...
What directory is the google play music app installed in? Maybe I can start looking for something in there.
I got google play music all access for the seamless integration. And now it's not working....
I submitted a bug report through the feedback option, but google never responds to that.

So I tested this with an older device I reset it to factory and the play tracks (which launches google play music at stays playing music) works.
Can somebody tell me how can I know what files the update installed?

Check your settings and see if hide unavailable music is checked. If it is uncheck it. It hides all the music you need to stream from the cloud and only shows what you can listen to with out an internet connection

This and make sure your Google account is sync'd with your Music app.
Open Music Beta app --> Hit Menu --> Settings --> Google Account
Sometimes you.have to force.close google music.after you force close it open it and it should say you have been invited to google music prompt. After going through the prompt your music should begin to sync.

I know this bug. Uninstall Google Music Beta and re-download it from the Market. From the setup you should be able to get the settings option which includes selecting an account to sync with.
Google Music is not ready for my primetime. App freezes when I hit next track (same bug in the native Android music apparently) and force closes ALL THE TIME. The whole concept of having YOUR own music in the cloud when it could be local on your sd card is still a work in progress. My only use of Google Music (right now) is just listening via the website if I forgot my Tab at home or something. Absolutely not necessary on the go as ALL my music fits on my memory card.
I use PowerAmp to play my music since its the only music app that works on my Tab that won't freeze and force close like Google Music and Music Player do.

I had to also do this on my Epic. I would also have it FC and freeze up as well. Now it does its job. Sync'd and ready when ever I need my music. I have about 7K so far from my Comp.
After owning the MAXX for 2 months, I just discovered Motocast. It is pretty awesome, I can access files and music from my home computer. What I want to know is, is there an app from Google Play that works the same way? I have a friend who wants to stream her music files from her home computer while she is on the road.
Play Music, the default music app on the phone. You just need to install the Google Music Program on the computer and it will automatically make all music on the PC available for play and download from any devices synced to that Google account. You can also play all your music from your Google Music account anywhere you have internet access.

Maybe I should have specified? She doesn't have a Motorola. I am looking for a Play app. Not what comes with my phone.

She doesn't need a Motorola, just any Android phone and the Play Music App. Unless they've changed things the Play/Google Music app comes stock with Android phones. If not, she can download it in the Play Store. I gave you the link right there =p
Dood's Music Streamer streams music from Grooveshark, but it has been removed from Google Play.
It's a free app, if anyone is interested, you can get it here: http://dms.mysticdeath.com/
Removed from Play Store? What the hell? Way to go, Google/Grooveshark.
I downloaded this from the play store a month ago. A few days after I noticed it was removed from the paly store, i can't play my grooveshark playlists anymore. :crying:
Why was it removed?
It allows you to download songs for offline usage, maybe Google has a problem with that.
There's a new page for this app: http://dms.mysticdeath.com/

I gives you free access to paid features of Grooveshark. Borderline piracy and Google wants to steer clear of that stuff. Whole reason why GS isn't in the play store.

My guess would be that Google would prefer you purchase your content through play music. Rather than have easy access to a free alternative. I don't blame theme either. I'd do the same.

GrooveShark decides anybody else using their service to offline cache music is illegal except through their own app.. which costs. Figures...
Does anywhere know where the app exports playlists too? I can't find a directory, i want to export my playlists to my other devices without having to redo them all.
thanks
I was searching it, thanks for sharing us DM streamer.

How do you activate shuffle in doods?
Seems like both Dood's and Tinyshark are not working in 4.4 :crying:
They were working on 4.4 but when I updated to 4.4.2 it broke compatibility with doods and other apps that have lock screen controls. Volume rocker mods won't work cause of the lockscreen issue.
Works for me using v1.3.3 on nexus 7. Just apply the new v2 of the ‘songs not playing fix’ (soft button, settings, songs not playing fix, on v2).

Just a quick heads-up for everyone: The dev released a new version of the app,the 1.3.4 which is supposedly fixing bugs among the one which made the search by artist/album option not working.
Sign into grooveshark on Doods?
Is there a way to sign into doods music player so I can sync my playlists with Doods music player?

Sorry but you have to search for your Grooveshark username to download your playlist. So make sure it's a very unique name. I found out mine was not very unique and and to try about 25 of them before I found mine.

Be sure to update to the latest version if you are having issues with the IP Block issue on Android KitKat 4.4.2. Latest version is 1.3.6 as of this posting and it fixed my issues when on 4.4.2 on my Moto X on U.S. Cellular. You can get the latest version from his site shown below. Sorry mods if this is not allowed but he is a dev here on XDA and post this link himself:

Here is the thread:

App doesnt seem to be working for me..is it not working for anybody else either?
Update: I hadn't realized the original developer still has this on their website. I searched Google before but didn't find any place to download, that's why I posted the mirror. But later on I stumbled upon it. The developer's site is http://exigocs.com you can also download TinyShark Downloader from there.
It's no longer available on Play Store, but I downloaded it shortly after I got Android. I then discovered soon after it was removed from Play Store, so it has since lived on my sdcard with TitaniumBackup, since I did a lot of ROM flashing.
Despite not being updated for over a year, it works great on Jelly Bean , and is still is one of the best Grooveshark apps for android I've ever tried, with playlists, offline cache option, and more.
With offline cache, you can effectively use this as a mobile Grooveshark downloader. It dumps the songs into sdcard/tinyshark_songs/ where they have id3 tags, but are just named a bunch of numbers. You could cache them 1 at a time, then go there and rename the file to whatever you want, or you could just copy to your PC and use software to use id3 to name the files.
Here is the original description:
Listen to Grooveshark on your Android device for FREE.
- Search the Grooveshark database
- Import Grooveshark playlists
- Play individual songs or an entire playlist
- Cache songs for offline playback
Does NOT require Adobe Flash to play music (Settings -> Use Flash Player). TinyShark now does not need Flash for music playback, but it is still an option for those that find it works better.
Starting with version 3.0 a lot has changed under the hood. A lot of fixes are being made so check for updates often. If you are having problems try reinstalling and create a new shortcut in your launcher. If you are still having issues please email details and send any crash reports you can.
Thanks to everyone that's been emailing!
To download songs try Tinyshark Downloader also available in the market.
Taken from:
http://www.bestappsmarket.com/p/app?appId=8894&title=tinyshark
It really works much better with "Use Flash Player" unchecked. [You have to do that to enable Offline Cache]

Not connecting
I am experiencing some problems during the last month with this amazing app. It doesn't connect, when i try to connect i can see the 'connecting...' with the yellow light, but in a few seconds becomes again 'Disconnected' with the red light. Is it just me or this app is not working now?
I am having the same issue as well.
Try using tinytunes app from play store.
It's from the same developer but not related to grooveshark
It's pretty good.
As I am a new user I am not able to paste the link.

I tried Dood's music and it has a very bad performance (for me),
Searching in google i found the last version of Tinyshark (3.1.7), now it connects, but it doesnt play any song
SOLVED: Settings > Playback Controller > HTML5 instead of FLASH

Tinyshark needs a widget and this has to be useable and offline caching needs some work

If you guys are having issues with 3.1.5 you need to first uninstall 3.1.5 and then update to 3.1.7 found on their website http://exigocs.com/. If you still have problems download and install tiny shark downloader.

I would consider this app *warez* for the fact it is used to steal music off a site that is know for being borderline legal anyways. There is a reason Google removed it from Play.
Just sayin.
Also, buy the music you like. Support your artists

Sadly, by buying music you're supporting the music industry (RIAA). By going to concerts you're supporting the artists.

Not the artists I listen to. I buy direct from them or their independent label.
If your music is controlled by the RIAA then you need to stop listening to USA Top 40 and go out and find real music.
Either way is better then supporting this app.
But back to why I brought this up, if XDA allows this app then why not all the other MP3 downloaders in the play Store?
Mod maybe answer?

How to setup squid Proxy for tinyshark for streaming?
Somehow my T-Mobile connection seems to be blocking the tinyshark connection. Whenever I use the T-Mo data connection, my tinyshark would immediately show disconnected.
I managed to setup a squid server so that it now shows "connected" ( squid log says TCP_HIT/200 1495 GET http://grooveshark.com/crossdomain.xml - NONE/- text/xml )
But the songs are not streaming...
Anyone has experience setting up squid for tinyshark that could share some insight?
Thanks!

I know its a new generation and all. But I've been having a problem since I tried using Miui which is about this year.
Anyway I can connect to the Google Play Store, The Google Play media applications, and 50% of the time Google Voice. But YouTube doesn't sign in and whenever I attempt to play a video i have to tap retry a couple times before it plays. I can hardly sign into Google web versions because the sign in page is missing. I installed the latest Gapps from Rom manager, and tried a couple other things but no luck.
