Google play button is gone

[kozmic]

I use the Google play to play my MP3s. Somehow the "play" selection is now gone. I can't "stop" a list from playing, and I can't hit "play" on a new selection. It only has "add to queue"

I tried deleting it and reinstalling it, well you can't delete it, and the new install didn't work either.

I guess I need to find another music player? I don't want bells and whistles just a decent player.
I got Mixzing but it wants to play videos and ads, I don't want that option.

Sounds like you should try wiping data and cache for the music app

I should have added, I'm an old guy with little to no app/android experience.
How do I wipe the data and cache?
Also should have added that it is a tablet not a phone, Toshiba Excite.
PC experience, but no android experience. Obvious I'm sure or I'd have 20 different apps just for playing music. ;-)

Go into settings, select apps. Swipe the screen to get to the "ALL" tab. Select Google Play Music from the list. There will be buttons to clear cache and data.

I cleared the data, there was no cache to clear, it was there but not selectable. It didn't correct the problem. I took the "uninstall updates" option.
now the play button is back but the add to queue is gone.
