Google play music app issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having issues getting an error trying to play anything. I unchecked cache in the app, cleared data and cache through Apps in settings, deleted and reinstalled, this even happened in stock rom and a custom rom. Suggestions?

Bump for no resolution...

What is with another music titles?

Whether I stream or play downloaded music, I get the same error...

Do you have the app set to downloaded only?

It won't even let me play downloaded music. It's starting to get annoying...

[Q] Google Music FC?

I'm running the 2.6.3 OTA rooted, and everytime I try to sync or stream from Google Music, it FC. I tried clearing the data, unfreezing everything, reinstalling updates and resyncing, syncing over WiFi on the first sync, and it still FC.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem on the MB865, and is there any solution?
Thanks!
Don't use the version from the motorola update.
Try another apk from a newer version.
I was using google music before the OTA update and was fine. After the update stopped working (version 3.something). Reinstalled the previous verions (4.something) and everything works as expected.
I tried uninstalling music from ROM Manager and then installing the Music 4.0.9 APK, and it still force-closes on streaming.

Go to the Android Market, then go to my apps. Google Music should be under "not installed"... click on it and then press the "Update" button. ROM Manager would not conflict with Google Music.
See if that helps it.
Okay, I did all this, and it's still FC. Are there any third-party apps that anyone knows of that can stream from Google Music?

YouTube and Google play store

So YouTube and play store links always open the browser instead of their apps. I've messed with app associations and clearing defaults but still always happens... Anyone know of a fix?

Play Music Issues

I am currently have two issues with Google Play Music, running JB 4.1.1. The issues are:
1. Lockscreen widget: When I press play/back/forward the widget closes and the music stops.
2. Widget: I press pause and the music stops.
Both of these are intermittent.
I have tried re-installing from Play store, using TB to uninstall/restore, but with no luck.
I am running stock 4.1.1 but have tried CNA 3.4.1, AOKP Release 1 all with the same issue.
Any advice on how to fix?
Thanks
use apollo music, better theme support. you're in australia so no music sync/buying for ya, so you don't lose anything if you switch to apollo like me.
I thought the widget has always done that? I'm pretty sure it has for me anyway
Have you tried to clear Data and Cache from Settings | Apps | "Google Play Music" and "Google Play Services"?
Clear data, Cache & Fixed permission on CWM?
Lastly...I would try to do a factory reset (if this has happened since you upgraded from ICS).
I have tried various install methods for 4.1.1 from flashing zips to fastboot flash, with no luck.
I have installed Apollo music player from CM10 and it is perfect!
Thanks!

Google Play music behaving weirdly on Sensation

Hey,
I am having an odd kind of problem with Google play music (version 5.01) on HTC Sensation running Elegancia Rom V 7.0.2
Initially when i install google play music and set it up by selecting my google account, it reads all the songs on my sd card and I am able to listen to all sd card music without any problems....but then on its own, after some time, the google play music app stops recognizing my songs and instead i see this screen(attached image 1) when i open the app.
(What you should normally see on opening the app should be something like attached image 2)
I am able to remedy this problem by going to clearing data in the app settings then opening app again and selecting account again...but i have to do it once almost every day, so its a drag..
Has any one else had this issue?

Google Play Music: All Music Vs. On Device

I have a question for anyone using Google Play music. Has anyone else noticed that when playing music using All Music uses much more battery than just On Device even if ALL of your music is on your device. I've noticed that in my data usage screen Google Play Music stays as the highest consumer of data which makes no sense as all my music is locally stored. Chrome or Play Store should be the highest user of data. I am only playing music that is store on my SD card and have noticed a time or two that when fast forwarding in a song it'll buffer as if it's streaming. I've also went to play a song a couple times and noticed it buffering as well. Anyone else seen this????
has your music been uploaded as well as saved to the device? if so it may not have recognized that.
thats the only theory I have as I had an album on my device that got uploaded but it kept them separate. The only way I could tell is if i went to save to device and it was blacked out.
Yeah the music is both saved to the phone via usb transfer and has been uploaded onto the Google servers. But yeah it seems like it is keeping them separated for some reason ei. if the song is both on the phone and on the server when All Music is chosen it prefers to play from the server instead of the phone storage.
Maybe try just downloading the music to your device and get rid of the stuff you manually saved. Not sure how many files we are talking here. And naturally, you would want to do this via wifi

I've thought about that but we're talking about 20GB+ of music. lol Which really wouldn't be a big deal except that after any clean flash of a ROM I'd have to redownload everything again.
Then there's no point on having your music on the cloud

That's how Google wants it though. It seems the only way to get album art working on the My Library widget is to upload your local music to google's servers but it seems in this case it is then streaming those files instead of using the local ones.

^^^^Exactly, this is why I uploaded to the cloud^^^^ Even if I used id editors or album art editors after every rom flash I'd have to go back and reinput album art that was missing. At least this way the art stays. I do think I've found the culprit though. I had been using Bank's core gapps on SlimKat which requires you yo download most Google apps through the Play Store as this gapps package contains minimal apps. After using SlimKat's gapps again which has Google Play music as a system app and not a user app, it seems to have gone away. It really shouldn't matter how the app is installed but it seems to have helped.

I've searched the issue after running into it myself and there are unresolved forum posts all over about it. Even using Album grabbers to replace already existing art hasn't got the widget to show anything but blank squares for some including myself. Of course while listening to the music the album art works normally and replaces the lock screen.
Editing the ID tags might do the trick you say?
