I bought some music the other day with my Aussie credit card. I set a US address (hint: look up real estate sites for a genuine address :) ) and set this as my default shipping and billing address. You have to do this in http://wallet.google.com prior to logging on to http://music.google.com. Remember to reset this for your regular purchases through the Play Store.

I've had Google Music in Canada for months now. Used super hide ip and signed up.

I'm unsure if it's harder to sign up now then it was when I signed up.

Music uploaded not showing on tablet

Hi guys

I have a problem with this process. I used Tunnel Bear and i was able to install Music Manager without a glitch. As i type this my music library is uploading at a steady rate. I live in Spain (where the Nexus is available since just a couple of days, although no music service so far) but bought the Nexus 7 trough a friend in Canada a few weeks ago (could not wait, ha). The Google Music app is, therefore, preinstalled, but my music so far is not showing at all. There`s only a message to use USB to transfer music locally. I did try to sideload the app, but it did not make any difference. Same result rebooting the tablet. Nothing showing. So far i have about 100+ songs uploaded, but there`s nothing to show for in my tablet. Surely i`m doing something wrong?
[Nexus 7 General] Dainemeid:
Got the exact same problem! Not working on nexus 7 with preinstalled music.app but its working on my galaxy s2 using the music.apk provided by xda!

Any solutions? Would be great to be able to use the app on nexus 7!
[Nexus 7 General] scarcry:
Just picked up my Nexus 7 today on launch day in Holland and will definitely be trying any of the aforementioned options.

Thanks so much for the valuable info.
[Nexus 7 General] Jon565G:
Have you both tried clearing the app data in settings? That should fix it

BTW, +1 for tunnel bear. I was trying for over an hour using various proxys, none worked. This did it in 2 mins. Got over 2 thousand songs on now, not even a 1/3 of the way through...... :D
[Nexus 7 General] Dainemeid:
yes i cleared the data, still no success :((
[Nexus 7 General] Jon565G:
Only other thing I can think of is that there is a tick box in the setting of the music app that says "on device only". Is that on?
[Nexus 7 General] Dainemeid:
Nope i disabled that ofc....
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
Tunnel Bear was my weapon of choice.
[Nexus 7 General] Jon565G:
Was a stupid thing to suggest after thinking about it lol. One last thing, then that's all I can think of.

You could try downloading the play music apk and installing it again. There's a thread on XDA that has the most up to date apk.

Apologies to the author for going off topic :o
[Nexus 7 General] Jutt69:
Been using Google Music in the UK since it launched. I used TOR and picked a US exit node. You only need to agree the T&Cs then you can use as normal with your standard IP and Google account.
[Nexus 7 General] Dainemeid:
I figured it out! somehow after installing the music.apk my sync with google account turned off.... stupid me not to check this earlier! But thanks anyway for trying to help me. appreciate it! After turning sync on again everything just works fine!
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
That's what I did months ago, while it was just Music, not Play Music. However, I've just tried to do this for somebody else and it wouldn't work.
[Nexus 7 General] Jutt69:
I can't believe Google have done anything to stop people. Are you sure you were on a US exit node? Use whatismyipaddress.com to check.
[Nexus 7 General] mrchiggles:
+1 for tunnelbear - far easier than TOR
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
I feel pretty foolish right now :o

I forgot that I had been tinkering with a UK exit node at the weekend and hadn't reverted my settings!
[Nexus 7 General] kmetek:
cloud arround also good option = 1,5€
[Nexus 7 General] slimdizzy:
I just go to music.google.com in my device's browser and click then get app button. No VPN/proxy/DNS for me. Canadian speaking btw.
[Nexus 7 General] Jutt69:
Once you are signed up to the service then yeah you can use it with any ip address from any country, but to sign up you need a US ip.
[Nexus 7 General] nxtab:
I'm wondering exactly the same thing. I wouldn't want to get my account blocked out at some future point. I guess the solution would be to setup an account just for Google Music.

I am also a bit weary of using services that exist in a grey area, ideally they'll role it out to the UK soon. Gotta be a matter of time...
[Nexus 7 General] sageandonion:
Lol it will take ages for the BPI to get their arses into gear, I'm not waiting. :cool:
[Nexus 7 General] kmetek:
any other work-around?

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

where to get it?
[Nexus 7 General] heccubusxda:
I'm in Canada and I used a program called Hotspot Shield VPN that fakes US I.P.s, no problems at all.

It took forever to upload my music though...
[Nexus 7 General] zakafx:
thanks for the information, i was able to get it working using tunnelbear.
[Nexus 7 General] videtonator:
Tunnelbear is amazing. Didn't know about its existance before this thread. Thanks everyone who posted about it.
[Nexus 7 General] yabbandroid:
well, wlel, it sounded like a good thing, i registered google music through tunnelbear, now i can open it on my nexus 7 yeah but i cannot stream anything.. i dont want to upload my pirated music onto the google servers, im a bit scared.. i see the free tracks on the google play store but to get them you need to "buy" them through google wallet and when i try this google wallet doesnt accept neither my german credit card nor the 20€ voucher i got for my nexus 7, i guess cause it is "registered" in the german play store.. so i cannot use google music :( too bad
[Nexus 7 General] heccubusxda:
How would Google know that you're music was pirated and why would they care? :D
[Nexus 7 General] jeb123:
Guys,

I have started a thread with this question but then realised maybe i shouldnt have sorry

Im a noob but i promise i have searched high and low for an answer and have read through lots of threads but cant seem to find an answer or anyone with the same problem i have. I sta

Ok basically i have been trying to get play music working. I am in the uk on o2 with galaxy s3 unlocked no rooted ics.

I have got my account up and running and have music uploading merrily.

The problem i have is with play music on my phone.

When i launch it it will see the music that is on my phone memory but not what i have uploaded to google play.

I have cleared cache, deleted and tried various different APK's but to no avail.

What i have noticed is when i press setiings no menu choices come up only info on version number and open source info.

If i could see the menu then i would be able to link my account etc but i just cant get a menu to show up.

If i go into app manager and click google play the google music sync option isnt there.

Any Ideas??

If there is a thread on this i really am sorry but i couldnt find anyone with the same issue

The weird thing is if i go to ply.music.com on my phone i can see my uploaded files. If i click to download the appp there though i get an error saying i havent gone in through store.
[Nexus 7 General] Southrop:
This may be a silly question, but are you actually using the Google Play Music app? It sounds like you may be using the default music app.
[Nexus 7 General] jeb123:
Yeah its the one with the grey headphones simble yeah? I have tried an APK from various sources but am getting nowhere.
[Nexus 7 General] eugenechiuu:
Not sure if it works on phones., i got it working on my nexus 7 but not my galaxy s2
[Nexus 7 General] jeb123:
My friend has it working on his s3. I asked him what he did and he did the same as ive done and his has worked. If i go into account sync and then click on google it doesnt give me an option for sync music so this may have something to do with it but dont know how to get sync music to appear. I am well and truly baffled
[Nexus 7 General] ClintvL:
Many people already know this, tunnelbear is also a nice alternative.

Thanks for the help anyway!
[Nexus 7 General] jj92942000:
+1 tunnelbear for past yr, once connection is set and upload begins you can shut it off and it continues uploading to Google.
[Nexus 7 General] scarcry:
installed tunnelbear yesterday, switched it on and leaving the default switch set to obtain an US IP.

Confirmed that both the tunnel interface was UP and what my actual public IP was and it was a US IP.

At first music.google.com kept returning the 'not available outside the US' message, even when using a different browser but after a few minutes I refreshed music.google.com and I was in.

Started uploading songs, disconnected the tunnel after having uploading 20-odd songs and the upload just continued.

Have uploaded over 4000 songs by now and the behaviour in google play music app on all my Android devices have changed and are able to stream my uploaded music.
[Nexus 7 General] sageandonion:
Sweet! Did the same here with 4615 songs! Took a while to upload that lot as most were high bit rate. Google music works perfectly on my galaxy nexus and n7. Sweeeeeet. :D
[Nexus 7 General] lennonfan:
Got this working through TunnelBear today no probs.

Uploading over 10,000 tracks as we speak (thats around 15gb btw)!!

Works great on my SGSII, not tried on my Nexus 7 yet.

Question is: how do you get missing album art, there doesn't seem to be any option ?

Thxs.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Hi all, just a thought... now that Google music is going to be released in the UK, do you think we (those using US music accounts) will have to do anything such as transferring accounts (if even possible??) or should we be able to just continue on as normal?
[Nexus 7 General] naturist:
You should continue using as normal.
[Nexus 7 General] remczar69:
Hello Guys,

as I am currently waiting on my Nexus 4 I have noticed that Google Music was launched in Germany, where I currently live. So i can install and use it without any problems...at least I hope so ;)

My question is following:

I am moving to Poland in the next few weeks and Google Music is not available on the Polish market.

Will I be able to still use my Music account? e.g. uploading new songs and buying?

I'm affraid not, but I don't have any knowledge about the subject and I also wan't able to find any answer anywhere.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] bourne-nolonger:
I used a StrongVPN account.

You have to pay for the VPN service, but I got it so that I could get

the American Netflix (I'm in Ontario, Canada). Being able to activate Google Music was just an added bonus.

I had to activate the phone as well. As it didn't work right away.

I loaded up FEAT VPN and loaded the openvpn config files and it worked like a champ.

And your Google Music account should stay active no matter where you go.. once it's activated.

I only had to use StrongVPN to activate, once activated it keeps working.

Only thing you still can't do is access the Google Music store. It doesn't like Credit cards from

outside the US :(

Hopefully, whatever is holding Google up from releasing this service everywhere gets sorted out soon so people can enjoy the service.
[Nexus 7 General] the_cosworth:
Anyone still having issues with the phone app I finally have a fix!

- Get your Music service working.

- Go into your play app on your phone. If you dont see anything close out.

- Go into your browser.

- Go to music.google.com and you should see your library.

- At the top it should say get the app, click it.

- Go into your market, it will say uninstall. Click yes.

- Let it uninstall

- Click update

- Your music should be there now.
[Nexus 7 General] twitchcity:
Maybe this is a new issue but I'm trying to set this up for my Nexus 4 (in Canada). I have Tunnel Bear working, but does anyone know how I can get around the Google Wallet part of the Google Music setup? Seems to require a US credit card? Using the proxy, I can get to the music player screen, but when I click "upload music", it brings up an account setup GUI with the following message: "Music on Google Play is currently available in limited regions. To verify your country of residence and setup your account, please complete the free transaction below. You will need to add a credit card, but your card will not be charged".

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 General] iskoel:
I don't believe there is a work around for that... Would love to activate too. Guess we'll have to wait until it's available in your own country.
[Nexus 7 General] Kaitlyn2004:
When I go to google music online to activate, it wants a US-based payment method which I don't have. Any way around this?

I'm in Canada...
[Nexus 7 General] jj92942000:
I haven't tried this but can't you get a virtual credit card thru PayPal? or some other payment service?
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
Use your regular credit card but put in a US address as your billing address. I used an address I found on a real estate site for Google, Amazon and other US-only sites :)
[Nexus 7 General] Mawtin:
I don't have a credit card, and I want to use the new Google Music Match. How do i bypass this?
[Nexus 7 General] BigDenn:
same problem here asks for a payment method to activate account..
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
Prepaid Visa.
[Nexus 7 General] Mawtin:
Is there a free way? :P
[Nexus 7 General] Alejandrissimo:
Even easier, go to play store and install Hot spot shield VPN and problem solved.

Oh yeah and it's free
[Nexus 7 General] BigDenn:
Ok I opened google music page but the problem is that after I agree the terms I have to set up my account and for this I have to introduce credit card number, cvc... I know it's free but I don't have a credit card...
[Nexus 7 General] BigDenn:
ok I took my friend's card but now another problem...

What to write at Billing Information? Maybe I'm doing something wrong..
[Nexus 7 General] Mawtin:
How does that help with out issue of no CC?
[Nexus 7 General] Alejandrissimo:
I use it without credit card on my android, and my windows desktop.

Just tested right now and netflix USA is worrking like a charm here in mexico.
[Nexus 7 General] Mawtin:
I understand that, but when we go to http://music.google.com we are required to enter a CC for Google Wallet and we want to bypass that
[Nexus 7 General] solipsism:
This is only recently been a problem, it never used to ask for a CC before letting you download music manager. You only had to agree to the TOS.

I used a VPN as a proxy to let music.google.com think I was in USA and it let me download the music manager and my account works fine with it. I just couldn't buy music, since my CC was a Canadian address which was fine.

I went to do the same for my brother yesterday, and before it lets you download the music manager application it asks you to agree to the terms and conditions and then wants credit card information for a $0.00 charge. I would assume to setup you CC info for future music purchases. So if you CC isn't american it won't work. I don't know if they did this to stop other countries from being able to access google music or they did it to streamline the purchase process for rightful users. Either way it has only happened recently.
[Nexus 7 General] Mawtin:
Thank you for the insight. But I'm looking for a way to use this without using a CC.
[Nexus 7 General] Kirkados:
I'm also having this issue :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] MALditoNica:
You can add a non-us card, using a us address, Google wallet won't check.
[Nexus 7 General] Kirkados:
Thanks!!
[Nexus 7 General] tyraelasd:
Any tips on how to get the other google services working outside google play countries? I mean books and movies.
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
I ordered magazine subscriptions before they were available here by using a VPN to purchase. Once purchased, I didn't need a VPN to view or download new issues.
[Nexus 7 General] adrian08:
Guys,

What do you mean? Having the same issue as well. Google's getting smarter. :)
[Nexus 7 General] BigDenn:
Just add your credit card and type:

Name: Microsoft Corporation

ZIP Code: 98052

That worked for me ;)
[Nexus 7 General] twitchcity:
I tried BigDenn's approach (using TunnelBear to create a US proxy) and it looked like it was working until...

"Uh oh. There was a problem.

We couldn't complete your purchase because of a technical issue.

Details of the problem below:

Sorry, we were unable to process this request. The order has been automatically cancelled and you will not be charged for the purchase. Please try again later."

Not sure if this is a general Google Wallet issue or because of the discrepancy between using a Canadian credit card with an American zip code. I'll try again today and see if the "problem" persists.
[Nexus 7 General] adrian08:
Thanks for the info BigDenn. However, the issue I think is that Google won't accept the dummy credit cards I found online. :(
[Nexus 7 General] twitchcity:
Actually, I'm trying to use *legit* (but Canadian) credit cards during my registration, and even then I'm getting the above errors.
[Nexus 7 General] BigDenn:
Had the same issue, make sure you have some money on your card ;)
[Nexus 7 General] twitchcity:
You are mostly right! The credit card wa actually good (has plenty of available credit on it), and apparently it was just a glitch on Google Music's server this morning. I opened the page again just now and it logged in without any problems - letting me download the Music Manager, which is now uploading to the cloud. I can't believe it took me this long to accomplish this, haha.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] fishb:
Wow, Thanks alot.

It works for me too.:good:
[Nexus 7 General] ciaastek:
With your help I already created my music account. But now I don't know how to select my google account in android app. I just don't have this option.
[Nexus 7 General] mammyslilboy:
+1 for Tunnelbear, connect to US VPN.
[Nexus 7 General] heccubusxda:
Thanks, man. This worked for me, using VPN I can now make purchases of music, magazines, etc.

I'm in Canada and I just changed the billing address of my cc that I've used many times.

Just confirming that this works with the cc you've already set up and used before with a non - US address.
[Nexus 7 General] yopanssudo:
Works great in Brazil too

I am Brazilian and I did the same thing with Unblock-US and it worked perfectly. Loved this tip.:laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] Karlo666:
Im from Croatia and i love this UnblockUS thing but yesterday it didnt loaded full Gplay site.

Just for a reminder you need to clear cache and cookies so it will load full site again.
[Nexus 7 General] blinde:
Hah, Microsoft trick worked :)
[Nexus 7 General] Drahkarg:
Microsoft trick isn't working. I know the CC is valid because I just used it to buy a pack of smokes.

This is going to drive me completely and utterly insane.
[Nexus 7 General] PatcheZ:
As mentioned before, buying a prepaid gift card like an American Express or Visa works just fine for purchasing things as well.

lol, this is what i use all my mail in rebate gift cards for :D
[Nexus 7 General] huy397:
Try using your actual credit card # but enter the zip code as "first 3 characters of your postal code + 00"

ie. if your postal code is M5A 1G4 , then enter "65200" , M5A is 652 on the phone dial pad.

The method worked for me just night, uploading to Google Music as we speak now.

Good luck.
[Nexus 7 General] PeterNovotny:
Hi, I've tried many solution to sign up into google music but it's totally crap. Maybe someone of you from US or Canada could take a little time and sing me up into this via my google account- my e-mail is wpmklws@gmail.com (pass I can send in private mail). I suppose that admin of this forum could be doubt to my post but I can't see any possibillities to have google music. Anyone help me? Best regards, Peter.
[Nexus 7 General] 701:
Unfortunately Google is asking for a valid CC (in the selected countries, of course), in order to activate the account...
[Nexus 7 General] Daxmaxwale:
Can this work in south east Asia?
[Nexus 7 General] dedero:
Thanks man!! worked for me too!!!
[Nexus 7 General] tomertb:
that microsoft thing dosn't work for either...

is there any other new way to make it work?
[Nexus 7 General] pfidalgo:
It just working with my AMEX cards... in Portugal using UnblockUS service!

Thanks for the tip ;)
[Nexus 7 General] fancyfree:
Credit card for Google Music

Not working with my Bulgarian Visa... I really need to use Google Music.Hope someone to help me.... :crying:
[Nexus 7 General] Das IceDice:
Confirm: it works!

Test "system":

Finnish Visa (OP)

PC ;)

PrivatVPN whit US server

1) Request free test trial from PrivatVPN via email.

2) Create new PrivatVPN account and use gift code from step 1.

3) Install PrivatVPN software and reboot

4) Start the software and select USA server and connect (I used New York server)

5) Goto play.google.com/music and log in

6) When credit card is asked: add new card and use right information for already exiting card, BUT use zip code 98052

7) "Buy" the account and install music software and upload couple of songs to your account

8) Forget your PrivatVPN and use vpn what you want :)

9) Goto wallet.google.com and revert the credit card zip-code change

10) Rock rock B)
[Nexus 7 General] scribley9:
Could anyone confirm please if the same technique will work for setting up Google Voice from outside the USA ? Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] mthrichard:
I just tried using the credit card trick (replace your billing address with a US zip code). It worked perfectly. I went back into Google Wallet right after and changed my billing address back to my original Canadian address :)
[Nexus 7 General] fancyfree:
I can`t register my Bulgarian Visa card for payments to Google Wallet to do this...
[Nexus 7 General] akrabi:
confirmed outside of u.s

Worked well for me. In steps 1-4 you can choose any ip-changing software to change to U.S ip.

After you "buy" the account you can stop hiding your ip and remove the credit card completely from wallet.

Works great!
[Nexus 7 General] Sick1:
Can confirm that Microsoft trick works. I used Stealthy plugin for chromium to change the proxy settings to US and used real credit card with Microsoft thing. Worked and installed musicmanager and after that disabled stealthy.

Google Music working through link not straight from Play cuz its ofc "not available"

PERFECT!
[Nexus 7 General] TylerDurdenK:
I wonder whether this will work with the new All Access streaming service...

Trying now.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

Just activated the free trial after following the instructions in the first post. I did have to input a new payment method in Google Wallet, and even though there was only US based addresses it accepted my address (I used the Zip Code and phone number for the Empire State building!). I was fully expecting it to fail, but it works, and my gmail account now has the All Access trial attached to it.....
[Nexus 7 General] MuffinYea:
Unblock-US not working for me

When I try to sign up for All Access (from UK) using Unblock-US (trial version, everything working) I click "TRY IT FREE FOR 30 DAYS" and it just takes me to my Google Music account settings.
[Nexus 7 General] trendless:
All Access in Canada

Worked for me:

Changed billing address on credit card to US

Added Stealthy to Chrome, started trial, set to use US, turned on

Logged into google.com/music, started All Access trial using aforementioned credit card

I've already got the Play Music app on my phone and I didn't have to make any changes; after successfully testing All Access in my browser, I also tested it successfully on my phone.

I did switch the billing address back to the real address it was using previous after walking through the steps; we'll see if that throws an error when the trial is up and they go to charge me for the next month. *fingers crossed*

Thanks for all the tips, folks!
