[Q] Get playlists back into Google Music??? - Android General

Jeeze I hope this in in the right place! sorry if it's not. I keep my music on my phone, and don't stream at all. I do flash my phone a bit, and often do full wipes. I just re-load my music from my laptop back onto my phone. But any of the playlists I've set up seem to only then appear when I have Google Music set to download music too. But to save on data I normally have that turned off. When I create a playlist using the songs on my phone it's there when downloading is turned off. But after a reinstall and reload of my music it only appears when I have downloading on and the only way it works is if I allow it to download the playlist again, even though the music is already on my phone.
Does anyone know a way to get the playlist back into my Google Music account without actually downloading the songs which are already there on my phone.
Thanks heaps

Bad Zune Pass bug?

Does anyone with Zune pass and Mango have this problem?
When playing songs/albums downloaded from Zune Pass, randomly it seems as though the player will lock up at the very end of a song, refuse to do anything else, and require a reboot if you want to continue listening to music. This does not happen with music transferred to the device. Very annoying.
HD7. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I often disable my data connection? Though it still seems to happen over wifi.
nope doesn't happen to me.

It could simply be a connection issue. If you are playing music off the Internet, it of course has to buffer and stream. This could simply be a result of a wonky internet connection, so your phone isn't able to get a reliable connection, so it's trying to get your next song for you, and that may unfortunately lock up your phone.
Probably a beta bug. But I've never experienced it at all.

That makes sense, but this is happening with music that I have downloaded to my HD7 with my Zune pass. Streaming music works perfectly, but downloaded music locks Zune up between tracks. Well it technically doesn't "lock" up, but it does refuse to play any other song and just sits on the last second of the track that locked. Perhaps it's trying to get data from the server or something even though it's already downloaded?

Oh I thought you were talking about streaming music with Zune Pass, downloaded Zune Pass tracks is something different.
I tested out a song and there was no lag at all.
I know that at some point, if you haven't sync'd your phone for a long time, my Zune HD would momentarily stall before playing a song I downloaded with Zune Pass. I assume its pegging the Zune server for license information to make sure I can still play it. But I haven't experienced that on Windows Phone, or even know if Windows Phone does that all (but its technically just Zune so I assume it does do it if I haven't sync'd in a long time). Though if you just upgraded to Mango, you have to plug in your phone for that just recently, so it can't be that.
Maybe just a bug? Corrupted installation? A hard reset might fix that.
nope doesn't happen to me.
I did hard reset my device, and the bug appeared to be gone; however, it has since started up again. Perhaps it happened when I synced my phone to OSX, I am not sure, but it is back. Very annoying, randomly freezing when listening to my albums. It still only applies to music downloaded on Zune Pass.

Yes, I have the same problem with 7712: It doesn`t related with data connection: I tested it with 3g+wifi, wifi without 3g, all data services off. There is the same result: player randomly stopped at the of song for a 5-10 seconds or locked at all.
PS: Phone is Samsung Omnia 7

I've had this problem since upgrading too. Although even since pre NoDo, sometimes tracks would randomly pause and then resume, and then repeat that a few times.
I'm using a Samsung Omnia 7.

[Q] Google Music Keeps Flashing On and Off

Whenever I open the app, I can't scroll through the list of artist or albums without every album cover flashing on and off. It's almost impossible to find a song now (I could go to a list of songs, but there are 14,000 of them to scoll through).
I've re-installed the app a couple of times and it works for a while, but then it flashes on and off again. Anyone had this problem and fixed it?
Atleast i am not alone... i posted this weeks ago.
I too have about 10k of music on Gmusic... it seems it is constantly loading up the album covers. flashing on and off.
The only fix i have which is not a fix is if i am really inpatient needing music right away i have to go to settings/app/ g music and clear data. but you still have to wait a few mins for everything to load back up
Or recently when i turn it on and if it is flashing ( i am assuming because i always turn off wifi ) it must have to reload everytning- I go to tune in radio and play a song and usually after one song i go back to gmusic and everything is loaded and flashing has stopped.
I have not heard of any permanent fixes. I have even tried to uninstall and reinstall gmusic--doesnt work.
Patience is my only work around right now.....

Sorry about that--I did a search earlier and came up empty.
Thanks for the "fixes." Does clearing all the data delete the music on my SD card? I've been reluctant to try it b/c it seems that it would. I'll try the Tune-in Radio fix.

no it wont wipe your sd. After you do it you will need to go back into gmusic setting and connect your gmail account to pull music from.

Google Music constantly deletes/re-downloads localized music (CM10)

Now that I'm on one of Verizon's "Don't use what you paid for" plans, I'm nearly halfway through my cycle with no more data to use. This means I'm storing some of my music locally now. The issue is that Google Music frequent deletes music that it's been told to store on the device. When it inevitably starts downloading it again when it's back on WiFi, it will occasionally get stuck and stop in the middle. Reinstalls haven't helped. What do?

Google play all access issues

Hi guys,
Recently I have issues with Google play all access playing downloaded files. The sound stops, but the time keeps ticking as if it is playing. If I turn the screen off, the music plays fine. If I stream through the same app, as opposed to downloaded music, it's also fine.
I did a factory reset which totally fixed the issue, but came back only a few weeks later.
Short of continuous factory resets, any ideas? This is obviously incredibly annoying.
Other players play local music fine, but as I own very little music, it's all streamed, this wouldn't really work as an alternative...
Thanks in advance!
Galaxy s6 running 5.1.1 un rooted

[Completed] Music plays but no audio (samsung)

I recently downloaded a Samsung Galaxy s6 marshmallow update using Odin. When I started up the phone I signed into my Google account then went to Google play music to find my music and when I clicked on a song it played but no audio. I put on headphones and not even the audio icon appeared. I downloaded sound about to fix that. Then I went to YouTube, watched movies, and went on the Web browser and heard audio just fine. Restarted the phone downloaded other music players and still couldn't hear my music. What happened?
Hi !
This problem can be fixed by cleaning cache and data of the application , sometimes an update can break certain functionalities
If still doesn`t work , save your data and perform a factory reset
Good luck !
