I setup a media server like a year ago, and got the songs from there.

so your songs are in media server rather than in PS3? am i correct? you should have jail broken PS3 to setup a media server on it.

whatever it is use some dlna app from playstore to get the music in your phone.

The songs were on my old laptop which let me transfer them to the ps3 through Windows Media Player. I bought a new laptop in june and lost all my songs but they're still on my ps3.

btw you don't need to jailbreak a ps3 to use your pc as a media server.

Can you transfer the songs to usb? Then back to your computer, upload to google music, sync, win?

What happens when you plug your N4 into the usb port? Does it recognize it as a media drive?

It says "an unknown USB device has been connected" but my nexus 4 says "connected as a media device"

That's not an option. The Bluetooth refuses to turn on.

Your phone's BT or the ps3's?

Worse comes to worse, buy a bigger usb drive....or if you're seriously broke...transfer album by album.

Either way, I suggest getting the songs back to your computer before your phone. Then upload everything to google music, then sync to your phone. you'll never have to deal with this again.

The phone's, I don't use bluetooth a lot so it doesn't bother me. I think I'll just buy a bigger flash drive, it'll be a lot easier. Thanks for the advice!
