Google Music on generic Android devices

I've installed Google Music on my Droid 2 Global and I'm loving it.

I have another Android device, a supercheap WM8650 tablet. I want to turn it into a cloud player using Google Music so I can play my music on it without having to buy more high-capacity microSD cards.
So I installed Google Music on it (latest version - I'm not in the USA so I have to download the apk externally), and it promptly stopped working. I googled a bit, and it appears Google Music has trouble running on generic devices. I'm wondering if the reason for this is known, and if there are ways to fix this problem. I'd have no problems using one of the alternatives, but from what I'm seeing Google Music is the only free one that doesn't have ridiculously restrictive storage - I have 15 gigs worth of ogg files, so stuff like Droptunes is useless to me, and I'd rather avoid spending any money on this.

I know of Audiogalaxy, but that isn't cloud storage, merely streaming from connected computers of your own.
And no, I can't run the web-based client with a desktop-agent browser: the tablet is way too slow for that.
 
Skyamp would seem ok, but its development is dead and it has dropped from the market. I can find no download links for the full version, and the free one is unacceptably crippled (it only lets you add three songs to the playlist).
 
There's another app that does streaming. I think it's called AudioGalaxy. You can stream music from your PC to your Android devices.
 
As I said in the OP I already know of AudioGalaxy, and it doesn't suit my needs.

I managed to grab the lite version of Skyamp just to give it a try. It doesn't even connect to SkyDrive.
