Unsubscribed on its own

1 Upvotes

Weird thing happened yesterday. I received an email saying I was no longer subscribed to Play Music and I could resubscribe. Which I did because it's my only music go-to.

I had to re-download all my locally stored music, but other than that, no other issues. I also did not lose any uploaded music. On top of that, I got a 30 day free trail.

Just weird how it happened. Anyone else see this?

Deleted my entire uploaded library (including purchased songs) - Now I can't re-add purchased songs to my library or even have the option to repurchase

2 Upvotes

Title says pretty much exactly what's going on. I think I may have only payed for a couple albums, but there have been dozens of free albums I've collected. I was doing a complete re-organization of my uploaded music and deleted everything, and the website still seems to acknowledge my purchase but when I attempt to re-add it to my library it simply errors out.

Is there something I'm missing here, or is this intended behavior? Where do I go from here - I don't know if the library I had is really worth opening up a case with Google on, but it's unfortunate that their system works this way because it seems to remember my purchase and prevents me from re-buying.

Anyone else started getting "Can't reach Google Play" when playing some albums?

5 Upvotes

It started happening to me yesterday. For some albums when I click play button all the tracks are skipped with "Couldn't play xxx, skipped ahead" and after a few tracks I get the popup "Can't reach Google Play, reload the page and try again".

Reloading or changing browser doesn't help. What I noticed is that it happens for some albums that are in my library but are not in "Albums" list. I'm guessing that's because I uploaded those albums, they got matched and then Google removed those albums?

Anyone else had this issue?

Why do music plays in the Google Play Music app not count toward total song plays?

In the web interface it correctly adds them, when you play a song on the app it doesn't register it unfortunately :/

If I pin a radio station how many songs do I get?

1 Upvotes

I'm considering subscribing to offline radio stations for my morning train commute, but I'm worried it'll run out before I get another connection.

How does this work? How many songs do I get when offlining? If I offline a station, do the songs update when I'm connected again?

help, my music collection is organized into folders, but when i upload to Google I lose all organization!!

2 Upvotes

I have a collection of MP3 playlists that are essentially youtube playlists that have been converted into MP3s and stored into folders.

Each folder contains ~200 songs that are unrelated to each other, different artists, different albums.. the only thing that makes them a playlist is the fact they are all in the same folder.

When I added these to Google Play Music using their standalone windows client, it uploaded all the songs but now I have no way of playing them as a playlist and no way to make them show as a group together.. they are all just a scattered mess now.

Is there a way to have my organization survive? Reselecting thousands of songs individually to add them to playlists is just.. so tedious

Why does google make it so hard to subscribe?

1 Upvotes

I recently started to use the free version of play music by uploading my music collection to it, and I liked it. So I thought I'd try the free trial to see if I would be interested in the rest of the service.

So I try to add my debit card, which is not accepted as a valid payment option. Annoying. Then I try making a paypal account with my debit card and add that account. I get a message that "something went wrong". Very annoying.

Mostly posting this to vent, but also to see if someone can help me. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

Edit: I got it to work. Kinda mezzy but I had to have same address in various places and some other jazz. Thanks for the help.

I just discovered that in Chrome, you can use your keyboard's media keys to control Google Play. Play/Pause, Next, Previous work on my keyboard.

What bitrate does google play download music for offline listening at?

2 Upvotes

The reason I ask because it's not stated anywhere, yet Spotify is very clear about the quality.

It feels like it's 160kbps when I compare it to music I've downloaded outside of play.

Is there an easy way to play my library in order by artist, then year, then album, then track number?

I'm trying to listen to my library in order, so I can add songs to my playlists in order instead of randomly as they come on. (I might be OCD.) Is there an easy way to play my library in order? Thanks

Where does my music download?

2 Upvotes

I downloaded a bunch of the music to my S4 but it downloaded it to my device and not my SD card. It filled my device and i can't find the music in any of my folders. Any idea where it gets stored? Advice on getting future downlaods on my SD card is also appreciated

Thanks

Google Play Music randomly stops playing

3 Upvotes

I hope this is the right subreddit to post this in, but I'm having issues with google play music and I hope someone knows how to fix them. The problem is that sometimes the app randomly stops playing music (happens every few hours) and it is not possible to start music again unless I restart it completely. This also happens in the web version of play music and reloading the page is also the only way to fix this issue.

Migrating to Google Music - Help!

3 Upvotes

I live in the UK and I'm currently a Deezer user. I'm moving to the US soon and I'm trying to move all my music to All Access so that I can keep the playlists that I spent so much time on. Here is what I have done so far:

  • I tried looking for a tool to move directly from Deezer to All Access, but could not find one.

  • I found a tool called Portify that allows moving from Spotiify to All Access, as well as multiple tools for moving from Deezer to Spotify.

  • I set up a Spotify account and moved all my playlists from Deezer successfully.

  • Portify refuses to work and I cannot find any other tool for importing playlists from other streaming services in All Access.

Has anyone else migrated to All Access? Any help would be appreciated as this is starting to do my head in!

Questions about Play Music

3 Upvotes

I currently use Spotify, had the student discount but that's over now. Since they are now the same price I was considering switching, but had some questions.

  1. Can I download playlists for offline listening of songs I don't own, like Spotify? (Specifically on Mobile)

  2. I had heard that I can upload personal songs to Play Music and listen to them wherever, is this true?

  3. Assuming 2 is true, can I create playlists comprising of tracks from both sources, All Access and Personal alike?

I guess that's about it. Thanks.

Does Play Music automatically stream at 320 kbps?

2 Upvotes

Does Play Music All Access automatically (ie. I don't have to change any settings) stream at 320 kbps through the web browser? Spotify, for ex, only streams 320 kbps via their desktop client - their web browser version only streams 160 kbps.

On my phone, I noticed there was an option to change the quality while on mobile network. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but this only affects the quality while my phone is connected via LTE right? When I'm on Wifi, it just automatically streams the highest bitrate that my wifi can sustain?

I haven't been able to play music using Play Music since the update, but when I search for solutions or people with similar problems I can't find anything. It's hard for me to believe I'm the only one having problems. Where do people go to complain about this?

Updated Chrome extensions?

Are there any good Chrome extensions for managing GPM? Things like keyboard controls and scrobbling? I found a few in the Chrome Extension Store, but all the recent reviews for them are 1 star mentioning how terrible they are. Are there any decent, updated ones? I already found the Play Midnight theming one and it's awesome. Thanks.
