Sure, and while you’re handing out money for overpriced products I’ll take a couple hundred more so I can pick up a MacBook too.

Do you need me to lend you $25 for a years subscription. This is why Android is still so far behind in the app department. Android users simply don’t buy apps or spend money. I know some people do this is obviously a generalization. The fact that you think its terrible spending 2 dollars a month for a service which is miles ahead of Google Music speaks volumes.

This is extremely helpful, but I still need a desktop client for google music before this can replace itunes for me.

Just move the music from your phone to your computer by USB.

To download a song individually, create a playlist and add all the songs you want to download to it and make available offline. Problem solved!!!

Now when can I upload music straight through my phone to GMusic?

One caveat. If you upload songs you purchased (or got for free from Google), they will then count against your 20k song upload quota. So make sure you keep your purchased music separate if you ever plan to do an upload sweep to catch new music.

Also, Google keeps a record of previously uploaded music locally on your machine. It won’t duplicate music if it gets uploaded twice, but your first upload will take the full time from a fresh computer with all your music on it…

Yeah, I saw that after looking again at the PC….from my phone I didn’t realize what all the fuss was about. Thing is I ran into this just a couple weeks ago where I wanted to copy a bunch of tracks I purchased at Google to a USB drive and I was looking at how to do it. I never thought about re-downloading things I already uploaded!

are you a ‘root’er? i had a similar problem when i flash a new ROM & install the G-Music app. i constantly have to clear out my permissions from the Google Music settings to allow access from each ROM.

+1000! I do not want to have my library copied entirely!
Also: How about adding this feature to the Google Music app? I know you can make the songs available offline but that’s not nearly as good because the files are stored w/o tags and as numbers for a file name….

you can edit track and album tags on GMusic through the website.

“We don’t upload.”

I was wondering the same thing. I know that I downloaded a free song that I got from GMusic to my computer just to see if it worked and to check what size the album art that they used was.

Maybe they’ve expanded on this feature, but you’ve always been able to download music from the cloud to your computer.
