How to remove unwanted free music?

[1812dave]

Google play music has put some crap music on my account. It pays when I choose shuffle. Have found no way to remove it

Go to play music (on your browser) - click on the album you want to delete (open it)... then look at the album cover art, there's a small triangle in the bottom corner - click it and it gives the option to delete the album/song.

Doesn't look like there's a way to do it without going to the play website.

I got some pretty badass tunes on mine. M. Ward, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Rolling Stones, Merle Haggard, Caribou, Thievery Corporation, The Pains of being Pure At Heart, Wild Flag, etc...

Not bad even though I already had most of them.

Where these not the same on everyone's?

How do I keep Google from intruding in my music?? I don't WANT ANY "free" or "featured" music to be added to my own.

Haven't tryed it on my nexus 7 but with I'm experience with android phones I'm guessing you will either need to install a file manager and delete it from there or root your device and see the default files already stored on your device and delete via computer.

Its all in the cloud so this is not needed. Would need to do as stated above. Need to log into your account on a computer and delete them.

I did that but is more music going to be showing up from Google? On a related note over 1000 M4A files won't upload. I got only about 300 song uploaded to Google. Their tech support hasn't contacted me yet with a fix

They were the same....and as was stated before, pure crap

I'm glad someone likes them but they are not my cup of tea. Hell, I don't even listen to any English language music.

The bastards at Google contaminated my device with a Coldplay track. I'm generally opposed to the death penalty, but in the case of someone putting dreck like that on my N7, I'm willing to make an exception ;-)

It shouldn't happen again. The Nexus just shipped with those loaded on there, as a courtesy. Some people dig the free stuff.

I deleted it all too. But mostly because I had a lot of the artists already. I thought it was a pretty good selection for being free.

As far as I know .m4a is Apple Lossless (ALAC). The file sizes are much bigger than aac or mp3 and Google won't let you upload them.

Mine aren't large. They are mono..about four mb. Google said the metadata needs fixing but didn't explain how

I see. TuneUp or MP3Tag might help you.

Out of curiosity I checked into the supported file types because as I type this I'm uploading about 4000 songs from iTunes to Google Music. Turns out .m4a is used for both AAC and ALAC. All my ALAC files will not upload. In general my ALAC files are 2-3 times the size of their AAC equivalent.

Supported file types for Google Music.

Rolling Stones, Merle Haggard

And now I have another new reason to get an N7... All but sold at this point.
