Moving music from Google play to Music player

[Lucy Marquez]

Yes music mania is a good app but for mostly main stream artist or bands like Taylor Swift or Maroon 5, when ever I try to look up indie bands they never show up :-\

If your android supports an external SD memory card then from the Play app
go to Menu > Settings > Storage location > and change to external.

Then while in settings go to music manager. Try refresh first and go check to see if your music moved over to your SD card (android>data>com
google.android.music>files>music).

If it didn't then you have to remove each download through the Play app and then download again (the orange downloaded icon). Go back to Menu>Settings and refresh.

Now you can move or copy from SD card to wherever. Your songs won't have correct titles so you will need to rename them.

Now all music you download will be found on your SD card.

Good Luck!!!

download the music mate app as mentioned above. Just did it and it works perfectly! It will download all google play music so that any player will be able to see them. You are allowed 50 downloads before having to pay for the app.

thanks for posting definitely works.

Hi Technified!

I know this bit of info was posted a couple of years back now but I want to give you thank you VERY MUCH for informing me about this Cloud Music Importer app!

I don't usually 'purchase' my music through the play store (or at all really!) so when I did buy a song for the sole purpose of using it as a ringtone, I was unable to transfer it to my Note 3 music player and therefore select it as my tone. Your above comment was short, sweet yet unreal, and although there is a good chance you're no longer a part of this forum site, I just want to let you know I signed up and created a login to this site ONLY to be able to give you a massive thank you and endorse your information about this app!
If anybody else out there is having this problem & comes across this info like I have, then I DEFINITELY recommend getting this app! Nothing will ever be stuck in your Google Play Music list again, and will turn up in your local library just as the app promises.

Something important worth noting however is the app's name has now changed from Cloud Music Importer to MUSIC MATE.

So thanks again Technified! Yav helped me out big time!

I think the best way is to buy music from iTunes then move it to your phone manually. These are the moments when Android sucks ...

How to put music on my music from google music onto my Samsung Galaxy s6

 

[Kerri Pietens]

I cant even open the music player on my computer!! arhh!this is taking hours of my time and is so frutrating

Music on iTunes is encoded at 256k.

Music on Google Play Music is encoded at 320k.

To us super-anal people, who think we can actually hear a difference between the two different bit rates (but really can't, LOL), that makes a difference!

I was having the same problem as everyone else. Google Play did not advise you could not pull the music automatically over to PlayerPro. I tried all of the steps that you mentioned above. However, once I deleted those songs from the app it will no longer give me the option to redownload them. Help

Thanks for your information. Problem solved.

 

[Kerri Pietens]

any tips for this? People have said thanks for the info, but I cant see anyones thread that offers a solution?

also, my google play uploaded all its songs to itunes, so now my massive itunes file, which i have been working on for years has been deleted and replaced with my music from android (which was only a years worth) help!

If you go to google play music from your computer, you can download your music to your computer and move it back to your phone.

Ho do you transfer your albums/playlists in google play music into Itunes? I would like to have just a shuffle for the gym rather than a huge awkward phone, but all my music is downloaded from google play music...how to i put it into itunes to be able to transfer to my shuffle?

I've downloaded the music mate app but I can't work out how to use it to move an album I previously downloaded from the play store to the music player on my phone - can you help?

 

[stefepaul]

Thanks Jay. That's the answer I was looking for!

You can move the files to the SD card. Google does a good job of hiding them deep in an inconspicuous folder, but they're there. However, once there they've given all the track files a random number for names with no other identifiers on them, so unless you do it one or two albums at a time, good luck trying to figure out the artist, track, and album names from 2,467 files that are in no particular order. It would take six months just to re-label a 100-album collection. Maybe you've got that kind of time, but I'll just pay the $9.99/month to listen whenever I want. When you consider that most of us used to pay $15 for an 8-12 track CD and before that, $8.99 for a terrible platform in analogue tapes, it's not exactly a bad deal for unlimited downloads of 320Kps music of all kinds in perpetuity. Sometimes I wish I could pull some of them out for mixing purposes, but rather than essentially steal royalties from artists I respect, I'll go buy the tracks from Juno or Beatport. Call me a boy scout if you must, but I'm a musician myself and I respect the artform, nevermind how much more difficult it is to make a decent living doing it these days.

Moving music from Google player to GO Music player

Hey, I'm new here. But anyway, you can't just download it and play it. If you tell the app to download for you, or you tell it to download, it will save either in the internal or external storage, depending on what the settings are. They will be saved on-device in some or other folder. Even if you do manage to find them, you won't be able to play or open them, you might need to download it to a computer and change the file itself. I'm not aware of any program that can do that, sorry. The reason for all of this bs from Google is copyrights, likewise with all media rights. If you have access to that audio file, you can share it with the whole world and Google won't make their money, and the laws and rights and whatever will be violated, so it's basically money and legal matters.

I hope I helped.
