[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Play Music is a streaming media service. It is not much different than youtube. You can watch youtube videos all day, I know some young kids who go there to hear their favorites songs, not to even "watch" the video. Youtube does not "save to your hard drive". You click, the stream begins, you watch the show, and when it is done, it "may" reside deep in your browser cache as some obscure name you will never recognize, may not even have the .flv extension. But it will fade and go away. There are "some" Firefox plugins and apps that will allow you to save a youtube video to disk, but they only work on youtube, not on anything else or only a *very few* other sites.

I have like "No card space left at all". So I really cannot keep a music collection on my SD card. I did it for a while on my tablet and forget what the best player was, PowerAMP Pro, and used it to listen to my music. But I had to "pick and choose" a few artists and albums to keep on the device. Nowhere near enough card space to keep my entire collection or even much of it on the device. How big is "My Music" anyway? Let's find out on the PC (I also have a few music videos in there too.). 40 Gb. Like *that* would really fit on an SD card.

I don't like Spotify when they changed their policy of playing the song you want now without a "subscription. I use Slacker and Tune In but never can I hear the song I want, when I want it. Play Music let's you do all that an more, you supply the music, that's all. And NO, you do not have to buy it from them nor must it be DRM protected music, any mp3 will do. and it does all the cover art, unless you turn that off. And it is free. What is not to love?

The point being, you do NOT save music to the device, you stream it to the device to listen. No phone data, no music. For me, that is perfect. For others, maybe not. Your choice, but it won me over! :D

UPDATE:

I am talking about Play Music as far as I know. NOT cm11 and if you can save to SDcard in general. I can be and am sometimes wrong. So others might know something I don't. Watch for other posts on this subject.

Jake,

Where is your friend seeing this "save to SD option"?

Is it in Play Music, Settings, Where? Is it only for music, camera pictures, or anything in particular? I do not see any option like this and do not know where to look for it.

I had an Xposed Module called Music2SD and another user pointed out something I did not see:

NOTE: You do not need this app if you do not have external storage or if you are on KitKat or above.

So, I dumped it.

That is odd. I never had an issue like this since the days when cm1 really did have a bad camera. First of all, what is your recovery software and version? For a Razr phone, you must use Safe Strap v 3.6.5. Anything under that version will NOT work properly, or at all, on Kit Kat or cm11 because cm11 IS Kit Kat.

Before installing Safe Strap or trying CM11, I made sure I had a good, stable, working, rooted stock rom. I used Matt's Utility to give me a nice, JB Verizon blur rom with all the bloat taken out. Once I had that for sure, would I experiment with cm11 because no matter what, I could always get a working rom up and use the phone. I have installed cm11 to rom slot 1, once OTA from 10.2 for laughs, (No, it did not work. FC City!), deleted the slot, tried again, and did this several times. Each time I delete and recreate the slot, I "bump up" each size option just a little bit and can try again.

To help narrow this down, what recovery are you using? Safe Strap? What version? Do you have a good, working stock rom in the stock slot? Did the camera ever work good, in any rom, even stock, that you can remember? What particular event seemed to make it stop working?
