OK so I usually listen to music right off of My Music - Google Play, be it on my laptop or phone, usually on WiFi. I wanted to make my collection available on my phone/SD card now for when I’m traveling, etc, and while I know there’s an option of listening to songs offline via Google, it’s a bit of a tedious process.
What are my other options? And is it even worth doing that?
(Oh, and before any of you iPhone users come taunt me , I know you have your iTunes. God bless! )
I still do it the old fashioned way... download songs and organize them into different folders... copy the folders on the SD Card and use each folder as sort of a playlist in the Music Player.
Too used to this since the good ole days of using Winamp / Media Player
That's why iTunes never really worked for me since I didn't want to lose control over how the physical files are named and organized in a file structure of my own choice.
in my case, all the downloading and organizing is done on my laptop since I keep a copy of the music files on my laptop or an external hard-drive.
Then it's just a matter of copying the file structure from the laptop to the phone's SDCard either through USB or through AirDroid.
Organizing MP3’s in folders is great but if you are using software like iTunes and such they also read the ID3 tags of all the MP3’s, which can get confusing.
What I do is, in addition to folders, I also use this little utility called UltraTagger. It costs a little money but worth it. There’s other free ones out there, I have had good results with Mp3Tag.
No, Play Music (previously just “Music”). Google’s cloud service (you can upload upto 20,000 songs on there) which is available (free) to all Google users.
What I suggested earlier should be done before you upload the tracks to Music. That reads all the ID3 tags too
I have both, locally stored music and streaming music on google music. I have uploaded all my music to google music and then stored some of them to the phone locally through USB transfer, Its for the places where i dont get good internet coverage. For the music tags i use mp3tag to edit it and organize them in folders.
