Hey bubbleguuum, I'm having an issue getting my playlists to sync properly. After the initial sync it says it failed to scan 11 tracks, and then when it builds playlists, it says that some playlists point to files that don't exist and I should change the settings to do a full library sync. I can't seem to find that setting though. After syncing when I go into poweramp and import playlists it only shows that one of my playlists has 60 songs, when it should have 150+. It's only the one playlist though, all the other ones are ok. This is the only one that has all access songs though.

I've tried doing a cleanup and starting from scratch a few times, but the same thing happens.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks,

Sicieler

OP, you are my hero. If there wasn't a paid version I'd willingly donate that amount :P Poweramp for the win. Now if I can only implement radio mode in there...

But, I get a lot of cut-off songs at the end. Is there really no way to pre-cache the pinned songs all together? What if I turn my data off, now I'm limited to only what I already listened to? I need precaching like Google Music lets you do. Better yet, is there a way to copy my existing cached songs?

Album Art

One small thing I just noticed...I have a few "Greatest Hits" albums from a few different artists and they all have the same album cover art. Its easy to manually change in PowerAmp but thought I'd bring it up, A resync and rescan didn't correct it.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:

[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Does anybody use neutron player (the best)? It's very fickle with gfs. It's constantly losing connection, pausing for a few seconds in the middle of songs and I have to refresh the source every single time I open it which is pretty annoying.

Just looking for tips I guess. I already tried adjusting prebuffering and it doesn't make a difference.

[Android Apps and Games] pipergca:
I was using Neutron and I totally agree best sound quality out there but I had switched to PowerAmp a while back for the prettier UI. I just installed Neutron again to try it and it worked well until I was in an area with low signal. Rather than a brief pause like in PowerAmp it totally froze up on me. I also had the "chipmunk effect" on a song which has never happened in PowerAmp. I believe that is due to a lower bitrate but it isn't causing that issue in PowerAmp. Not much help other than to tell you yes I had the same issue with Neutron.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Yes it does the same for me too, it completely freezes up and then will refuse to play music, even when I try resyncing gfsmusic and refreshing source in neutron.

Just got myself a Sonos Play:3 and wondered if you ever got this working?
[Android Apps and Games] jimmygoska:
I did not. TBH I have been using Spotify for the last 3 months (got 6 weeks free and kept it for now) and since that's part of the Sonos controller app it's been easy but I would love an easy way to play my GMusic on it.

The main problem is that (AFAIK) the Sonos controller doesn't allow using your Andoird device as a source. It works on iOS to play local libraries but not on Android. So GMusicFS should work in the future if Sonos bring that service to us.

I'll post here if I do get the time and get it working.

-- EDIT --

I just did a quick search and found this which takes you to a public beta. This might allow us to use GMusicFS and our Sonos'! *hoorah*

I'm at work (as you can tell by being on XDA) but will check when I get home and report back
[Android Apps and Games] StuMcBill:
If you sign up for the sonos beta program you can download the beta version of the app which allows you to access your On device music!

Still doesn't seem to work with GMusicFS though!
[Android Apps and Games] jimmygoska:
Damn. I just edited my post my hopes shot up, and now they've fallen. Oh well.

I'll still it a go when I'm home and see if I can get something.

All Access??

Hello,

Did you get a fix on this? I have similar issue. I can not see any Playlist nor tracks created with the "All Access" pass

Any ideas?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Jimieo:
I have not been able to duplicate the issue since my first report. Sorry.

All Access not working for me
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
For people wanting to play Google Music to Sonos, use BubbleUPnP (which I wrote). It supports playing Google Music to UPnP devices, thus to Sonos.

NOTE: I'm currently on holiday, thus not monitoring this topic actively until it is over (early July).
[Android Apps and Games] StuMcBill:
Found an app on Google Play, called Macronos (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDMsImRrLnlvdXRlYy5hbmRyb2lkLm1hY3Jvbm9zIl0.), and it seems to play my tunes from Google Music!

Plays podcasts too which is a huge bonus for me!

Edit

Been playing with it, and it does play music from Google Music, it claims all access too, but I don't have that so can't test it?

I have had a few crashes and force closes, but it definitely seems to do what it says on the tin!!
[Android Apps and Games] saxophone101:
Well, finally I found this warning again that explains how the all access music should be set up for it to work, however in my case it didn't help.

It seems not a problem for that many...

Thank you.

EDIT:

I did it all over again (For All Access Tracks and Playlists): - And I got it finally working! -

1- On the Web Page for Google Music, I deleted the playlists that didn't want to sync

2- I placed the albums again I needed for two playlists in "My Library" (Google play)

3- I created the playlists again

4- On my Note II using the app, I "cleaned" all and then "Sync" again

5- I am using PowerAmp, there I scan again the folder gmusicfs

6- Finally! I could see the playlist and the tracks in the lists in Poweramp

7- I played them!

It looks that I might have overlooked the fact that "All Albums" you use to create playlists have to be (As the warning -pic attached- said) under "My Library" in your Google Music Account.

I hope this sticks and keeps working. I hope this may help someone else.
[Android Apps and Games] Limewirelord:
Does anyone else have battery draining issues after using GMusicFS? My battery drains substantially faster with GMusicFS running with PowerAMP as opposed to before I installed it and all of my music in GMusicFS should have been cached by now (it's at 400MB for around 50 songs).

In addition, it seems as if you need a persistent data connection because a lot of my songs cut out without a persistent or with a slow (EDGE) data connection. You'd think that you'd be able to use the songs from the Play Music cache as a cache from GMusicFS and only use GMusicFS to get the tags.
[Android Apps and Games] d0rkster:
I am using the free version currently. I have playlists on Google Music but they don't appear in playlists when I use PowerAmp. Does this app sync playlist too or only songs?
[Android Apps and Games] saxophone101:
It syncs both
[Android Apps and Games] truedis:
Anyone used this with GoneMAD?

I got it to scan the sdcard/gmusicfs.meta folder but none of the file metadata got picked up by GoneMAD except the album art.
[Android Apps and Games] wehongry:
So this app was working great for me until today. I updated one of my playlists so I went to "re sync".

After the re-sync it said I had zero songs/ablums/playlists

I did the "cleanup" and re-synced all my music came back and was listed in the 'control' menu and my music player.

But whenever I go to play a song I get a 403 error in my music player

When I try and play a song in google play the same gmusicfs 403 error pops up

when I unmount I get the google error that the track couldn't play.

if I completely uninstall music plays normal in play music.

It only seems to be affecting 'all access' tracks and not ones that I have uploaded myself.
[Android Apps and Games] OneChaos:
I can confirm that this is working on my Nexus 4 using VLC media player. Although, it is a bit wonky. Albums show up multiple times and I also get music that I don't have. Weird. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] d0rkster:
Can someone guide me on how I can get the playlists to show up in PowerAmp? They show up in Google music fine.
[Android Apps and Games] spasypaddy:
full memory card

so my memory card was full, i went to clean it out and found a folder called gmusicfs which is huge and is filling my memory card. I dont think ive used the gmusicfs as it never really worked with my phone.

Can i delete the folder?
[Android Apps and Games] simonxliu:
Someone please make a windows equivalent of gmusicfs. The digital djs of the world will forever be grateful.

All Access tracks do not play (error 403) since 2 days, because Google introduced a change in Google Music that broke it.

I will try to release an update to fix it within a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] wehongry:
Bummer I must of missed that thanks for the quick reply.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Here's a new beta which supposedly fixes All Access streaming.

Please test and report if All Access works again.

This version also has a few minor tweaks that I will document later.

Download beta APK (1.0.4p2)
[Android Apps and Games] OhMrBigshot:
Great, works for me! So curious, is pre-downloading tracks and WiFi only mode planned?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes still planned for 1.1, after 1.0.4 that I will release soon to address this AA issue.
[Android Apps and Games] tom1l21:
I have a playlist composed of only AA tracks and it is not showing up in PowerAMP. The only playlist that shows up is the one that contains tracks from my library.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Thinking about it this is normal. Unlike what I said for this new version, AA tracks in a playlist must still be present in your Google Library for them to not be discarded. otherwise they refer to inexisting files (in the flesystem) and are discarded when building playlists.

I will have to find something else to make this scenario work.
[Android Apps and Games] tom1l21:
Okay, that's what I figured, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] OhMrBigshot:
He just showed a beta that fixes issues, so doesn't look like it
[Android Apps and Games] spacepanda:
so, I'm rather hesitant to purchase this app, considering I doubt google will allow this for long...I mean, this is circumventing their drm, and is in their own store, seems doomed to delisting
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
If that can reassure you there's a few iOS apps in the app store that access Google Music since forever (end 2011).

And btw there's no drm technically speaking (provided you are a subscriber for All Access).
[Android Apps and Games] ccristal:
Is there any way of deleting the gmusicfs folder manually? I have now removed the app, but the last cleanup did not delete the folder, and it can't be deleted with Root Explorer either.

I also tried reinstalling the app, doing a sync and then a cleanup, but I get a mounting error, and the cleanup after that fails to remove it.

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Reboot your Android device and you should be able to remove the gmusicfs folder with Root Explorer
[Android Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
Hmm, beta expired and no update on Google play... Had to recover 1.03 to able to use it again. Any plans on releasing a new official version?

added proper folder chooser for Settings > Cache directory
[Android Apps and Games] kappakai:
Lovely app OP. Had to fiddle around a bit and crossed my fingers here and there, but I do have everything up and running finally.

Question though, I have a lot of live CD's (Phish and such) with tracks broken up. I haven't been able to get gapless to work. Is this something that can be done? I'd love to see that implemented, otherwise, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Dungeon47:
Since 1.0.4, I've had trouble with playlists in Nexmusic. Some tracks just show up as random characters (I assume it's the filename rather than the metadata) and they timeout. I've gone through remounting, resyncing, full cleanup, reflashing ROM with full wipe (I was doing it anyway), but it persists. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks all the same for the work you're doing.
[Android Apps and Games] kappakai:
hey dungeon,

mine was wonky for a bit as well. i was getting the UUID's instead of id3 information. someone had mentioned opening the music player first, then opening and mounting gmusicFS. that seems to have worked for me (using poweramp.) even now though, after i open poweramp, i see that gmusicFS mounts (this is done automatically now per the OP), and then i have to wait for poweramp to finish it's folder scan, before proper tags are up. my process goes:

open poweramp -> gmusicFC automounts -> poweramp scans folders -> after scanning good to go. it takes about 2 minutes to finish the process (i have about 100GBs on gmusic).

hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] ibsk8:
had a few questions/issues. I have no problem getting this to work with most media players, the problem that I have is when trying to get the stock sense 5 music app (Droid DNA Rooted/s-off) I can't get it to read/locate the mounted directory, on occassion some of the album/artist will show up, however, the majority are not available via the stock app. The files play fine when choosing individual songs via root explorer.

I've tried to create a symlink between the mounted gmusicfs folder and /data/media/Music with no luck as well.

any advice would be appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] drms12:
It doesn't work after upgrade to android 4.3 on nexus 4.

Please fix this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] dems86:
Also doesn't work on 2012 nexus 7 with 4.3 update, and also on my new 2013 Nexus 7. Must be something with 4.3 that breaks out.
[Android Apps and Games] simonsickle:
Probably the SELinux. Superuser as we know it really needs redesigned to better support security.
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
To work with 4.3 you need proper rooting.

Google made a change in 4.3 that makes rooting more difficult (for root app like SuperSU, Superuser).

I've tested it with the latest version of SuperSU and GMusicFS works properly.

I don't think Superuser has been updated to work on 4.3.
[Android Apps and Games] Zod09999:
First of all, thank you for creating GmusicFS. It is so helpful with limited storage on my Nexus 10.

But before i buy the unlocker, i am wondering whether anyone is running GmusicFS combined with Poweramp on a Nexus 10 or any Nexus device without it collapsing about once every day and the only fix being a reboot.

This is not necessarily the app's fault, because i had similar experiences on my rom with other problems, that could only be fixed with a reboot as well.

Yet i'd still like to know if someone uses GMusicFS over several days without restarts, remounts or "Full rescans" in Poweramp.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] mapero:
Hey.

Thanks for this great app. May i suggest a feature? It would be great if you could block streaming music over 3g in the settings, since data plans in germany have a very limited traffic quota, at least mine :silly:. It would be awesome if you could still play the music from cache in blocked state.

Thanks.

I can confirm 4.3 borked. I've tried changing the cache locations but it didn't help. Attaching log file in a sec.

Sent from Siemens Xelibri
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Confirmation that GMusicFS is broken with Android 4.3: GMusicFS cannot see its own mount, while a root shell terminal confirms it has been mounted sucessfully. Since it cannot see its own mount, it cannot serve any file.

I think it worked with one of the earlier version of SuperSU for 4.3, so a later version of SuperSU may have broken mounting semantics of 4.2.2.

At this rate, I expect Android 5.0 to break all root apps for good and make mounting totally impossible.
[Android Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
But this sounds as if chainfire could be able to fix it again in a late version of supersu if he was aware of it?! :confused: Right? Is it related to the extSdCard mounting problems with some kernels (e.g. Googys) and Android 4.3?

Would be a real showstopper if GMusicFS won't ever run on 4.3 :(

Olioaglio
[Android Apps and Games] bubbleguuum:
Yes I must talk to Chainfire and report this problem to him to see what can be done.

It would be great if someone could test if it works with Superuser for Android 4.3, and report the result.

[Android Apps and Games] flamand:
Thanks for the app...I paid for the license this afternoon.

My question is will it ever be possible to use the files that the Google Play Music app downloads instead of the gmusicfs cache? Music downloads so much faster using the Google app.
[Android Apps and Games] midgarsormr:
I can safely say that it is also broken with superuser on 4.3. This is on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus if that helps any.

It keeps asking me to enable debugging too, which is already marked in settings. I also have enabled apps and adb in superuser/supersu
[Android Apps and Games] akirainblack:
Tested on CM 10.2 on an SGS2 and rooted Stock 4.3 on an N4 I can confirm broken on both at the moment I'm afraid. :(

Also can't get it to work on temasek v17. Too bad. Can you please advice, what steps you did? What su? Superuser or supersu? Though GMusicFS states successful mounting i can't see any data in the virtual GMusicFS folder on sdcard0. There's just the meta data.

Olioaglio
[Android Apps and Games] midgarsormr:
I updated to that nightly first. I actually couldn't get it to mount then. I reinstalled franco kernel for my Gnex and it rebooted. I gained superuser access through the stock CM superuser. When I opened up GMusicFS it asked me to enable usb debugging (already did) and it worked for there. At this point I think I'm just lucky. But give that a shot. I wonder if the kernel had anything to do with it? I'm still somewhat of a noob.
[Android Apps and Games] Scarface1991:
I'm also using Temasek's V17 ROM and for me it works with Power Amp. This is what I did:

After you synced your Gmusic account inside the App, go to Power Amp and then to the folder settings. Then on "Music Folders". Afterwards when it loaded the list, search for gmusicfs, open it and then go to your account name and then select "Albums". This was enough for Power Amp to recognize my gmusic library. Afterwards I could stream my music through Power Amp.

However when I close power amp and after a while decide to listen to some music again (from my gmusic account) even if in the notification drawer it states that gfs is mounted, I get an error in power amp that the folder is missing or not readable, so I can't stream any tracks anymore. I have to go to the gfs app and then go on remount to make it work again.

While this also doesn't work always, just a couple of minutes ago I had the error you see on my screenshot below.
[Android Apps and Games] midgarsormr:
Odd. I've never gotten that error before. I also think this is the first time I've gotten GMusicFS to work properly on poweramp. I usually use playerpro. But as long as I leave gmusicfs running I can play music without those end of list or folder missing errors. It kind of looks like the errors with this app are user oriented.

Sorry if the quote got changed a bit. I have big fingers and the cursor sometimes got set in the quote lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
Odd. I also granted GMusicFS superuser rights and ADB access (see the Screenshots). Though it shows all green and mounted, there's still no mounted folder (see Screenshot of empty gmusicfs folder in ES Explorer) and the Albums tab shows "Failed to build album list". In Poweramp when I try to import the system music playlist it shows 0 found objects and import nothing. Btw, i'm using supersu 1.51 because i had root problems with temasek builds prior to V14. Maybe i should try to uninstall supersu but I'm afraid it could break root for all apps again.

But I really need to get this damn thing working again :D
[MENTION=3373153]bubbleguuum[/MENTION] could you clarify?

Got it working now with temasek v17. Uninstalled supersu and returned to rom pre-installed busybox. Then installed 4.3 compatible superuser app 1.0.2.1 from koush instead, updated su binary through cwm install, rebooted and granted GMusicFS new root access. After resyncing and importing the playlists into poweramp it seems to work now with some minor glitches (some titles missing). Don't know what exactly fixed the problems, but I'm glad to have it sorted right now.

This error you got in the screenshots is typical of GMusicFS running under Android 4.3: all tracks failing to scan because GMusicFS cannot see its own mount (presumed due to changes in SuperSU for 4.3 that have an effect on apps mounting stuff).
