Google music and access across devices

[beperry1]

My wife and I both have androids. I have the google music account linked with my phone. Can my wife get access to the music on her bionic? All of the music is housed on a shared computer...surely there has to be a way, right?

You can access the music from a google music account on multiple devices but that specific account has to be logged into each device. But I believe also you can only be streaming from one device at a time per account.

That's ridiculous, you know...

Ouch...it's a RAZR, Maxx.

I'd imagine most of the blame for whatever restrictions would be on the music industry. You could always use the google music manager to upload the music to your wife's account.

I don't believe that's true. If you have multiple devices synced with the same Google account, you can stream the same music from each device at the same time. I just tried it on my Maxx and my Acer A500, both of which are synced with my Google account. Is that what you're referring to?

You can have a max of ten devices authorized to one account.

Yep, and you should be able to play the same song simultaneously from all 10, if you wanted. Total surround sound!

Android 10.0...you know, like dolby 5.1...no?

Bad joke

That's what I was referring to but I might have been mistaken if it's between devices. That limitation might be when streaming via the website.
