Man, would I love to try the new services, but music keeps crashing (actually on my nexus 7) as well.
What gives? Anyone else having difficulties?

The App was crashing on my Nexus 4 even after removing the updates and then reinstalling several times. It is working now though. After Removing updates-Removing the Widget control from my home screen-> Disabling the app-> clearing the app data and cache-> rebooting the phone -> opening the play store then enabling and updating the app it finally updated without crashing. Not sure how much mileage that will gain you though.

I had the same problem on my Droid X2. I ended up uninstalling it and re-installing, and now I can launch it without it crashing.
It is really sluggish, though. It is heating up my phone and it took several hours to 'find' music that I had purchased earlier this morning. I will give it another day or so of trial but I'll probably try to revert back to the old version and cancel my All Music subscription.
I had the same problem when upgrading to Play Music 5.0.something; what I did to overcome the FC's:
1. Clean cache Download Manager
2. Clean cache Play Music
3. Clean cache Media Storage
4. Reboot
Now this does mean that you have to set your ringtone/notifications all over again but it worked for me. Some say that removing all your local music also helps but I can't confirm that since my earlier steps did the trick.
When you say local music, I'm assuming that applies to the songs that I synced to my sd card via doubletwist? Technically, I have access to the same library twice on my phone since I've always used google play music manager to sync my iTunes library (same library synced by doubletwist)
With local music I mean the music which is actually on the device. Since I am not familiar with DoubleTwist, I can't answer your question to the fullest but I'd guess it's worth to give it a try (deleting the local music) since you have the "main" music collection on your computer (if I understood it correctly)
I am sooooooo aggravated by the constant crashing on my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but of course that doesn't help. So many people have had problems with crashing that I can't help but wonder how long it's going to be like this. I finally just uninstalled and went back to Spotify which still runs like a charm.
The app constantly running even when I wasn't starting it was draining my battery to the point where the battery indicator hardly moved despite several hours of charging.
I love Google's products but this one is just .... argh!!!!
Has anyone heard whether they're going to fix the problems any time soon? I've got about 3 weeks left on my Spotify sub and would rather just use All Access, but if I can't play anything there's no point.
I had 4 songs and tried RP's steps with and without those 4 songs in the device, but same results both ways. Still constant hanging and then crashing.
Interestingly, the app was fine when I first started using it. The more playlists I added, the slower the app became, but I don't know if that's due to the number of playlists or some other factor.
I sent 4 crash logs to Google's support. If they come up with a miracle solution I'll let yas know, but I'm pessimistic at this point. lol
edit: I signed up for a second All Access account (have to remember to cancel this one!) and the app was very responsive compared to my other account that has a lot of playlists. However, the app still crashed a few times when I was trying to create playlists from albums using the new account.
Glad it worked out for you. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I even tried with the SD card removed to guarantee there was nothign on it. :/ At least I still have Spotify! lol
Out of curiosity, how many playlists do you have set up in All Access?
