Google Music Beta

[VoidedSaint]

just for information for everyone using Google Music Beta

after 1 day of sitting in the All Things Root Section i will move this to tips and tricks


if you are a google beta music tester, and you have flashed multiple roms on your phone and when you try to stream music from google, and you get the you have authorized blah blah blah deauthorize an account to use this service.

Google music beta has a certain number of accounts that are associated with Google Music Beta
it allows only 8
once you have reached 8 you have to go to the website to deactivate a several accounts.

now for instance this is what i found was my issue

open google music on my phone, no file could be played because it said i had too many accounts linked to my google music, i instantly thought wtf! is google giving away information that allows others to connect to my music?
so i go on to google music beta, go under settings to see what is connected to it

Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX

all within 1 to 2 days apart from 1 another

i dont remember because this happened last night that i took care of it, but im going by sheer memory.

i deactivated each Motorola DROIDX account, and reopened google music back on my phone, sure enough i was able to listen to music again.

so in other words

if you flash a new rom, or wipe data/factory reset deactivate your google music on the dx through the web, or else it will continue to build up like mine has. However it may have just been an anomaly for me. But if you have flashed multiple roms and are on Google Music Beta, check to see what is connected to you.

again i will move this thread to tips in tricks after a day, i just figured some of you would want to know this nice little bit of information. Because apparently google music doesnt read esn or s/ns for phones they just recognize the phone and whenever google music is reinstalled, well you get the idea.

id like to know how folks that have it are liking it? I just got an invite, setup my playlists and downloaded the app to my tablet. This is something from google that I may actually enjoy (after gplus of course).

and how does this one compare to others (such as amazon)

In my opinion better than Amazon. I got the free 15 gb for buying a couple of albums but after a year I gotta pay. Google music has a better interface and you cant beat 20.000 songs and a very easy way to manage them from yer phone....

I have Google music but i am not impressed at all with it.

I like it a lot. The pinning feature is really what sold me.

Anyone know if/when it's going to be available in the UK?

I find it really frustrating as a dev. Google Music "steals" your music and playlists so they cannot be used with separate 3rd party apps through the Android API.

It also seems to lack a lot of polish, but I can forgive that since it's a beta.

Dont know when but there is a way around it if you can get an invite. You just need to go through a US proxy to activate and set up the account.

Set mine up in the UK yesterday and I am very impressed so far. Upload will take a while as teh directory I am uploading is 60GB, but its going well.

Just wish the app would use foldersd instead of tags. Going to have to tame my collection somehow.
