Hi,
like many of us I have more than one gmail account and therefor have more than one google drive account.
I am looking for a music player (like doubletwist cloudplayer) that can link to more than one account at the same time and if possible make them all look and act like one single list of music.
Can anyone recommend anything? Cloudplayer currently does not support this at this time.
Thanks.

I got my Google Music invite today. I uploaded around 14 GB of music. This was around 2500 songs. It looks like Google limits the number of songs, not the storage. You can upload 20,000 songs.
Thoughts:
The "app" on my PC is kind of cool. Just go to music.google.com from your browser and start listening.
The Google Music app for Android on the T-bolt works well. I created a quick playlist on my PC and it was available on the T-bolt instantly. The app is fast and stable.
When playing music with the Android phone app, it will actually download and cache about 5 songs.
My biggest thought is that Google must be a little vexed about Verizon's new policy about charging for data. This will discourage users to store their music data in the cloud if Verizon is going to start the meter running every time you want to listen to music. Google's whole philosophy is to use the network, not local storage.
ever since last update... i keep getting FC on (process com.google.android.music)
suckkk
I have been using GMusic for a bit now. I use it in a different fashion than most people.
I only upload the songs I will use in a current play list. Total is around 20-30 sonds at a time. I delete songs I no longer listen to since the orig copy is on my computer.
I find this make the service very usable for the gym, car, etc. Dealing with thousands of songs would drive me nutz.
I have about 13.7k songs for my google music and its pretty awesome. The app does have some issues such as not going to the next song in the playlist but its all minor compared to what it is capable of.
I agree with the crashes though. I havent been able to get it to work on 3g/4g with bamf 2.1 remix or gingertheory 4.3
Trying now with bamf 2.1 nte.
Theres a thread here regarding the crashes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134027
Bummer about the crashes. I am running CM7 and I have not had any yet. Hopefully it stays that way.
The only thing I dont like about the cloud is,read the fine print,everything you upload becomes theirs even if you delete it they keep a copy of it.why?

been using it for a couple weeks my self love it so far cant wait to see where google takes it in the future. Also who care if they keep a song i upload even after deletion it is just music.
Well lets see,copyright laws and its not only for music it pertains to anything on any cloud,me I prefer to keep my stuff local,doesnt bother me one bit,that way its only me that has access.

Dont know about you but i could care less if google kept mp3 files i uploaded and did something with them. they would be the one breaking copyright laws so thats their problem. I personally dont upload anything other than music to cloud services like "google Music " like this thread is talking about not cloud storage or dropbox. but to each their own.
I have google music but am switching to amazon cloud.
Reason being my wife and I have separate gmail accounts and so it requires 2 google music accounts. Amazon lets whoever has your email and password access your music.
I'm pretty happy with it. Would love to Bluetooth control in the future. When using BT headsets,the stock music app only works.
I just wanted to know if there was any talk ever about software that would help me manage my phone and maybe that i could get music from?
Use Android Music to manage your music files and Amazon Music to buy the music.
It just seems weird that Google wouldnt do that especially with this device I saw called the Samsung Galaxy 5. When I found that, it prompted my original question because it is marketed as a music player.
I read somewhere they are working on adding a music store to the Google Music app

Check out media monkey. It allow for syncing to android devices. And only runs one background process (when running).. unlike iTunes which runs four at all times.

Correct - there was a press release that music purchasing through Google Music will "be here soon"
Ok so I cant post link but i did some more reading and type in,
google(dot)music(dot)com
and it takes you to a beta sign up. Theres a video. Its all there. GO THERE!
Got this in the email today:
Dear Music Beta user,
We're excited to announce that Music Beta by Google is officially graduating from beta today! Google Music will remain a free service, and you can continue to store up to 20,000 songs in your personal music library. Please see the revised Terms of Service for this product update.
Google Music also comes with a number of new features. We've launched a new music store on Android Market that works seamlessly with Google Music. Shop on the web or your Android device for millions of tracks and hundreds of free songs for your music library. All of your purchases are automatically stored on Google Music for free (and don't count toward your 20,000 song limit). You can even share a free full play of any purchase with your friends on Google+.
For Google Music users with Android phones and tablets running version 2.2+, you will automatically receive an updated version of Android Market with the music store over the next few days. You should also receive a system notification with the Music app update sometime today, but you can always download it immediately.

So I checked it out, and they are offering a free single everyday, better than the iTMS! Your Market app should update within the next few days with this new store. In the meantime:

That's awesome news. I've been waiting for this for a while. I wonder if it will ever be as popular as iTunes.
I live in Australia and I can't find Google music App on the market.
Thanks OP, great stuff! Been waiting to try Google Music as i want my collection stored in the cloud and accessable from anywhere.
Perhaps someone could tell me how you initially upload your songs? Presumably you can do it from the PC?
Thanks for the news! That's good stuff. Finally an alternative to you-know-who.

That's how it worked in Beta. You choose which folders to upload and you're good to go. The application on the pc checked those folders for new additions and uploaded those as needed

You are using it now? how does it compare with itunes? More songs? Easier to use?

I don't like how the music app does not let me download cloud music to my internal storage. There is absolutely no option to set the download folder or tell it which SD card to use.
However I will still use it since Zune just stole $10 from me duebto the lack of a cloud component like Amazon and Google. No more Zune and No more iTunes. If you wanna sell to me you better putnit in a music locker where I can download it infinite tines or stream it from anywhere.

Hi Guys,
I gather not many people actually use Google Music in the UK due to the required work arounds to get it but I am quite interested in using it.
For those who do/have used it:
Do you like it?
Is it worth the work around hassle to gain access?
Will getting it now via the workaround cause problems when it's actually released?
What worthy alternative services are there that aren't iTunes/iCloud/Match?
I want a music service in which I can own my music as well as purchase music, add my existing music to the service, and sync between devices.
I feel like there's nothing that does that apart from iTunes Match and Google Music
I love it, its my everyday music player... I no longer keep music files on my phone because I stream it from the cloud.
Likewise. I have been using it for a few months and it is absolutely life-changing. I just uploaded my entire music collection and now just stream it all instead of having it stored on my phone or memory card.
But how do you guys upload it in countries other than US?

If you need the APK to get the app on your phone, how do you get updates?
Do you have to use a proxy only to sign up or do you need it for desktop streaming?
Can your purchase music in the app?
Once you register via proxy you can use it anywhere, Play store for music doesn't work but who cares.
You only need the proxy for initial registration. For everything else, no proxy required. So in reality, its very little effort for lots of awsomeness
Does anyone know of any apps out in the market/play store that have the ability to let people add to a playlist that you have playing in your house?
For instance i have a google tv and i would love to have an app that people can open up on their phones and send music they have on their phones to the google tv to add to the playlist, or id even be willing to setup my tablet via hdmi to the google tv if the app isnt google tv compliant. just want to have the ability to have people add songs to a playlist i have playing so they hear what they want,
i know xbmc has a way of doing it but it only scans music on the xbmc host and not what people have on their phones that they want to hear over the speakers.
thanks in advance, and i did try searching for something like this already and was unable to find anything spent the last 3 days searching the web.
guess noone knows of any app that does this? found out grooveshark has collaboration now so that could work but any other app ideas would be great.
I don't know of an all inclusive app that would do this.....but I imagine your solution would involve using a cloud service such as Dropbox. Just make a Dropbox folder that any of your friends can access. Whatever they add to it, will show up on your computer in the dropbox folder. Just have that folder be monitored by your music player.
