I do not see this issue.Also which database did you insert album_artist into?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] chuzzy:
Disregard. I do see the getMediaList error
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Can't seem to get an invite. I'm running GR-12, so I wouldn't have luck getting it to work anyways.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
As far as I can tell no one has actually received an invite yet. I got my request in before they even mentioned the url at Google I|O.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nckflb:
I am on stock 2.2 right now and it works beautifully. I haven't had a chance to update to a custom rom after I crashed because I forgot to back up lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
Once you go GB, it's very hard to let it go! I kind of want to go back to 2.2 to get music up and running before my invite arrives, but the idea of going backwards kills me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
I've not had a single issue on CM7. I replaced the stock player with it, and it's been working beautifully. No issues and no force closes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] garringm:
Let me ask you this then.....wheres the benefit in using this, the way I understand the cloud part is not working but I may be wrong with that as well. Does the streaming work? I'd still like to know where the difference is.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
The promise of the cloud is the big benefit. It's not necessarily the best player out there, but as a former Zune user, I miss having music software that keeps things like play count and ratings tied to a user account. Google Music brings back some of that functionality that I was accustomed to and adds much more.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
I like it because it is a nice looking music player... it's UI is much nicer than Gingerbread's default music player. I personally don't care a bit about cloud functionality, because I only have a 200MB data plan. All the music I usually listen to will fit onto a 32GB microSDHC. If I need more, well then, I have an iPod classic that will do just fine. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] garringm:
Hows this sound for a possible cause for the lack of Samsung GB support. I have a nagging feeling that it's looking for a certain location by name I may be wrong but with GB the internal storage name changedbetween froyo and gengerbread, is it possible this is the cause. This may be why it works on CM7 as well If memory serves me the names are different even in that case. Don't shoot me if i'm wrong, just trying to help figure this out
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fldude99:
Does it appear that the google cloud will have any advantage over Amazon? I've been using Amazon cloud player and it seems to be excellent
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sinizter:
This isn't (yet) worth a downgrade to 2.2 IMO.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rybateman:
Anybody who signed up for the beta online receive confirmation yet? I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I signed up a few minutes after they announced.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
I doubt I'll ever get an invite, so I'm trying out AudioGalaxy right now. It seems really promising, so we'll see what happens.

EDIT: AudioGalaxy works fantastic. Best "cloud" player out there right now, even though it's not technically a cloud player. Only downside is that I can't see myself using it outside of a WiFi connection because I only have a 2GB data plan. Still nice to have it there to access if I ever wanted it on the road, though.

EDIT 2: Just found a dealbreaker to AudioGalaxy. Your computer must be running at all times if you want to use it. I'll stick with my iPod.

Finally! I hope mine comes soon.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
I hope it gets fixed soon to work on Samsung Gingerbread ROMs.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] t-readyroc:
Got my invite last night. Not working (FC'ing) on Mosaic III (JVH). Going to try it again once I upload some music.

I did submit feedback when it gave me the chance. Hopefully everyone else is doing the same & they'll see a raft of Sammy users with issues...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
I got my invite this evening... it's funny the email called me a Xoom user. I still get FC's. I'll send them some feedback.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Does everyone who requested get an invite? I haven't gotten one yet.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
Not necessarily. If you go to contact Google about the Music Beta, it says at the top "Due to strong demand, we aren’t able to immediately accommodate all invitation requests. To request an invitation to Music Beta, please visit music.google.com". But be patient, because invites are still rolling out to the people who requested them at launch.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] emuneee:
I got my invite last night as well. I was one of the first to sign up (I signed up before they announced it at I/O). I am uploading music now, but so far so good. As the music is uploaded, it appears in the cloud. The upload is low...it uploaded 100 songs in an hour, only 10,400 to go...lol.

Features I hope they add:

*cloud podcasting support, the podcasts I subscribe to appear automatically in mu Music Beta account when they are published, this would be absolutely killer

*expose some sort of API, as much as I like the Google Music app, I think PowerAMP is still the best music app on Android, not to mention I paid for it, so if Google exposes an API for the Music Cloud, hopefully third party developers can easily integrate functionality into their app
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Digitaltigre:
Can anyone thats been invited get cloud music to play in the phone browser? http://music.google.com/music/listen Mine errors out on this gingerbread leak on my epic. I'm going to have to go back to Froyo. CRT and overscroll animations just aren't enough with all these bugs. I gave up ext fs and overclock for this? :(

Edit* I'm far to impatient. I flashed back to stock Froyo and the cloud music works in the browser as advertised. The music app works a treat as well. I will have to retest after I flash a custom Froyo ROM.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lospulpo:
Completely agree on both of those points. Been working on an app recently and being able to integrate the stock music player controls would be a big kicker. Automatic access to podcast subscriptions would also be splendid.

Got a nook color running that honeycomb port and I got the "Here's an invitation Xoom Owner" invite as well. Haha. Gotta love build.prop spoofs.

Can't wait till this app works for Samsung Gingerbread either. Any leads on how to fix it? I'd like to look into it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ZachOlauson:
Works on CM7 nightly #9
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
Yeah, so far we know it works on everywhere except the Samsung GB-based roms.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
Once I got my invite, I flashed back to 2.2 to play with Google Music. After some time with it on the desktop, Nook Color and Captivate, here's why I ultimately flashed back to 2.3 (for now):

1. The Music app for Android just isn't full featured. I need something with native lockscreen controls, etc.

2. Plays from the app do not register in the library; only plays from the browser do. Additionally, I can not 'like' or 'dislike' a song from within the app (again, only in the browser).

3. (And this is something of a deal-breaker) When I elect to make an album available offline, I do not get to choose where it gets stored. I bought a 16 gig micro SD specifically to store a respectable amount of music seperate from my internal memory.

The draw of Gingerbread, and the functionality of the ROMs outweigh the benefit of the Google Music Beta in its current form. I'm rooting for it though, and I hope that around the time we figure out how to get it working Google adds some additional functionality to the app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fldude99:
^^^sounds like its got aways to go to compete with amazon cloud. I'm not as picky as others but the ease of use of amazon and the ability to buy music there (I know..don't laugh-I'm old fashioned & pay for my music) and integrate it with the amazon cloud is pretty cool to me
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
Just got my invite today (i signed up as soon as the url was visible in the live broadcast of the keynote) but I'm pretty bummed that there's no fix for sgs devices on 2.3 leaks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] salazar44:
im bummed too. is it know as to why its crashing? im on gr12 btw.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
I reported the FC to Google and they advised me to make sure I had the latest version of the app on my Zoom :-/
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
I guess the best thing we can hope for is an updated base from Samsung or an update to Google music that fixes whatever is crashing the app. This doesn't seem like a problem the devs are interested in right now (maybe because of so few invites)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dmnall:
I just got my invite last night around 7:00 pm pdt and I still cannot get the music player to play on my phone with perception 2 beta 3 and latest talon kernel!

HTH,

Charlie
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
Got my invite last night as well. A shame it doesn't like Samsung gingerbread roms :-(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AJerman:
Yeah, I just got my invite as well, but still can't use it. Google needs to update the app to fix the FC before the beta period is over (really, this is Google, are we gonna be using this for free for years?). I'd like to give it a try, but I'd probably prefer Subsonic like I use now anyway.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobtukin:
I'm using Google music with no problems on gb. I'm using miui 1.5.20 and I love it, was able to free up so much room on my SD card for movies.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alexige:
Its something with the Samsung source of gb. CM7 is also able to use Google Music from what I hear. I even tried to use the leaked version from a few months back and also got a FC.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
GREAT news! The new update to the music app loads on Continuum 5.5! No FC yet.

Streaming lags a bit on wifi (it could be because i'm uploading my library) but it works finally. Looks like scrobbling works too.

All we need now is for some devs to integrate lockscreen and dropdown controls for a killer app experience
[Captivate Themes and Apps] morehush:
CONFIRMED! Hooray!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
ok.. some bad news for Last.fm users. I'm using the app to scrobble songs I listen to and its over scrobbling. Doesnt look like its compatible with the app yet
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ranulf WolfSage:
Confirmed as well, the update has Google Music working on my Captivate with Continuum 5.5 and Talon 0.1.7 T17r2! :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] :
The updated app now works on all GR builds. Yay for us.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reflex01:
Working with Mosaic III and Talon 0.1.7 T17r2 \ EXT4!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Yay! Now all I need is an invite...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
Wife: "Are you crying?"

Me: "I'm just so happy!"
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
Anyone having trouble finding 'settings'?

Edit: had to clear settings. Probably an artifact from a previous version.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
got my invite earlier today, still experimenting, i did have to clear the app data before i got settings to show up

my library is still uploading so i dont have a lot i can test yet but i can confirm that the app opens on continuum 5.5 with talon 0.1.7-t17r2
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
This app seems to use a lot of battery.. maybe because its continually syncing with my online library but even when i'm playing local music its draining a lot.

Its a bit laggy as i browse as well (i've got hundreds of albums-currently 5.6k out of 11k songs in the cloud)

is anyone having the problem where they're playing a list of songs and having the need to wake the device between songs so that it continues to play? Sometimes I'll get an 8-10 second delay between songs and sometimes it will just sit there and not continue to the next song unless i turn the screen on.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alexige:
Not sure about the rest of your message but I think I know what's going on with this part. If you'll notice in accounts and sync, there is a sync music checkbox in your Google account. While that is checked you'll notice in running apps in the applications part of settings that when you select music one of the running services is albumart. I'm guessing that since you probably have auto sync on and are actively uploading your music as songs go to the cloud relevant artwork comes to the phone.

I did notice that when I unchecked sync music I was able to stop the music app in the running apps window, something I was unable to do while sync music was checked.

Hopefully this all made sense hard to go into great detail on the phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
One cool thing I've noticed is that it you have the same file on your external SD card as you have in the cloud, it's smart enough to not show the same song twicein the app. Hopefully it's also smart enough to use that file rather than trying to stream or cache it. I've suggested to Google that playing that song should also update your play count in the cloud.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] grkmaster:
How come i dont have the music option in accounts and sync.. that was the first thing i checked for but not there so nothing has synced..

EDIT: nevermnid -- uninstalled and re downloaded it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
Has this had any negative impact on the performance of the app?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
I've been messing with this app all morning trying to get it to show up in Account and Settings. I have gone as far as removing the application and the stock music player. Dalvik Cache Wipe and then install again. Tried several more times including going into /data/app and moving it to /system/app just to see if that would change anything. Am I missing something here, should I remove and put back my google account in settings?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alexige:
I haven't used the app and I only have auto-sync on while plugged in while I sleep. So basically idk haha sorry
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alexige:
Did you get your invite? Before I got mine it didn't show up, once I did it did show up.

If you got the invite I would guess just install from the market and reboot. Beyond that I don't know.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
Havent been invited yet, I feel so left out of the party. I signed up the day after announcement so I guess I have to wait few more days :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
I think i'll keep sync off until I'm done uploading all of music. Maybe that will help with performance and battery usage.

You can still stream even if sync is off FYI. it just won't update your library when new songs are added
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Devo7v:
I just wanted to let you know that I had the same issue. I had received my invite and was uploading music, but the app wouldn't let me access it. It was probably a day or two before I opened the app again and everything was working properly. I think there's just a lag before the app realizes that you have an account. I suggest just being patient and if nothing happens after a couple days, then you have an issue.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
Yes, I realize that now that the change occurs after I get the invite. Just need to be patient :rolleyes::D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BigEHokie:
Same issue here (And I fooled with it all morning to get it going). I just did a factory wipe/reset and went ahead and loaded everything up. Works fine now :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
For the lucky people that got the invite and are syncing. Do you have the option of instant mix? That is the one thing that got me excited about Google music when I saw the screen shots. I don't have the option right now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jwood55812:
Yeah on Continuum 5.5 with latest version of music I get the "Make Instant Mix" when I long press a song.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Ill have to try it out later, Got an invite but didnt really see anything to be excited about. Not a big cloud fan.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fldude99:
After reading the posts of folks that have received their invitation, I don't see what this has over amazon cloud-which simply seems to work flawlessly so far
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
To me the advantage is the fact I already have 80 GB of storage from Google so I can store ALL my music and pictures without paying extra. Amazon gives 5 GB free and will give 20 GB if you purchase an album I think which is less than what I already store on my phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
Did this pop up after you got the invite? All I see is in the attached image.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Are you just using it to play music off your phone and not from the cloud? I would assume instant mix is something that needs to access your personal cloud. I don't have an invite yet, so I can't confirm anything.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
That is what I was trying to confirm. I don't have the option or the invite yet. I just have to stay patient to see what happens after I can start syncing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
My god this app is not stable. I'm getting large 30 second gaps between songs that are stored on my SD card. It slows down my phone even when its not in use/Music sync is off in the settings. Songs pause/skip during playback like the OS is out of memory. I've got 8k songs in my library at the moment with 4k more to upload. Why offer 20,000 songs if the app can't handle it?

I guess its beta for a reason. I hope its updated often and frequently.

I'm on Continuum 5.5 with a JVO Base
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Hmm Running a beta software, on a phone that is running an OS that was not designed for it, and there are issues. Big Surprise there:D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jswclw:
Music got all wonky on me last night. Been using it without trouble since latest release using about 30GB of music stored on the phone. But last night, all the sudden there were big pauses in the music, watchdog kept altering me on the music app, and so on. I rebooted the phone. Still wouldn't play nice. Gave up on music, but watchdog kept alerting on it, even after killing music multiple times. This morning, all is well.

Last night in the middle of the problems, I changed the settings to be as disconnected from the cloud as possible. Maybe it just took a while to take effect. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I really like the interface - clean and simple, so I will stick with it for now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Finally got my invite. Only downside to cloud servers is when you actually have to upload your music. Haha. Just over 7,000 songs. This is seriously going to take days.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phaze13:
Yep days and days. Just to upload 1000 songs. For some reason it is killing my router and internet connection with it. Have to reset it after every couple hundred songs. Worst part is I have over 20,000 song limit. Uploading one artist at a time. Going to take forever. Maybe time to purchase a new router.....

Good part, music app on phone is working without any problems.

Looks like they added the ability to remove songs/albums since it launched at least.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Jusrertiner:
Where can I get mines
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Go to music.google.com and request an invite.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OBatRFan:
Getting to the point where I'm wondering if it's even worth it. 6-7 hours and only 400 songs uploaded. I think I'm just going to upload my most-listened to artists.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
Just got mine. Got 42GB of music to upload. Thank GOD for FiOS.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Smasher816:
fine on cm7
[Captivate Themes and Apps] j_bravo14:
works fine on froyo.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] deepdeep34:
is this working on any of the gingerbread roms??
[Captivate Themes and Apps] quarlow:
Got my invite today, working on continuum 5.5

Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 5.5
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alexige:
Yes the update to the app last week fixed the force close issue. You can use the app but still have to wait for your invite.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
still waiting for mine... :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ptsite:
Working on continuum 5.5

Working on continuum 5.5.....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
It took me 5 days to upload 11k songs. Just be patient. It's worth it.

I hope the service stays free (it's the google way)! I uploaded like 60gb and it would be a shame if they started charging
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScottyNuttz:
My guess is that they will eventually charge (since they flat out said it would only be free during the beta), but hopefully they will allow for modest-sized collections to be free or charge a low amount for lots of storage.

Either that or it's in beta for years:)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
It would be cool to allocate your gmail's storage for music storage. It's taken me almost 8-9 years to reach 900mb of the 8gb or so. I guess I just like to delete all of the useless mail.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] truckmann:
Waiting patiently for an invite on this. Looks like a good deal if they don't end up charging a bunch for it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] yourname146:
Finally got my invite this morning! 2 hours of uploading later, I'm only at ~300 / 10,000 songs... At this rate I won't even have all my music before they leave Beta and start charging :-P
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
When did you sign up? I signed up around 24 hours after it was announced
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
Just got my invite. Just installed Music Manager and setting everything up
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
Got my invite tonight, been doing the happy dance since :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] salazar44:
until there is an option to upload via a playlist it kinda sucks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkitchBeatz:
I doubt that will ever happen. They want you to put it ALL up there so you use them to listen to music... and collect data on that behavior.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] H3llstorm:
I got my invite and downloaded the Google Music app for the market, but it's not showing up in Settings > Accounts and Sync.

Any ideas?

Edit: I got it working by uninstalling, enabling auto-sync and re-installing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] salazar44:
Well uploading it all isnt gonna happen! Collect data on what I put up. The data not uploaded speaks for itself!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ph03nix42:
Invites

They are going out, i've received mine, updated and sync'd my player and couldn't be happier!! Thank you GOOGLE!! All hail the droid!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] garringm:
Well I finally got my invite but went through and signed into the service online am I not doing something right because It doesn't seem to be working foe me
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Gh3ttoman:
When i try to download the android app, I click install from my computer, i see it downloading on my phone but nothing ever installs. is there an apk version that i can instal myself?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rpacheco6:
serendipity 7

Does anyone know if the google music app will work on Serendipity 7? It didn't work on GR-12 and thats what has been keeping me from upgrading.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
It has been working for a little over a week with the new update. Works fine on Serendipity 7 as well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rpacheco6:
Right on, thanks, will be flashing tonight.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kangi26:
Got my invite a couple days ago. Uploading 14K songs is going to take a LONG time. And it is crushing my internet connection while it's uploading. There is a setting in the desktop app to change the connection speed. That should help.

From my experience so far, looks like a GREAT app.

Runs great on Miui 1.5.20
