My music library is many GB, so deleting it every time I changed PCs was pretty much a non-starter. It used to have the biggest, ugliest fit (this is when, I suspect, those track duplications occurred, as I upgraded computers). And don't even try installing it again after an OS re-install.

I tried getting Google to deal with it, they promised to figure it out, but ultimately, they wanted me to delete my entire library and re-upload. Back in the day (early GPM days, before they had the streaming service), it literally duplicated almost EVERY TRACK I owned (downloaded a separate copy and everything when it would 'sync' - deleting these extra copies only resulted in new downloads). Music Manager still looks like the colossal failure it always was.

Saving albums or playlists for offline playback Don't make users go through a desktop middle man. If Google Photos can automatically scan your phone and ask you if you want to upload photos and videos in whatever random folder of your phone, then damn it, so can Google Play Music.

However, it's been over five years, and it's long past time for Google Play Music to have an option for uploading your music directly through the Android app, especially when the device you upload or download music through counts towards your device limit. The music's on your phone, but it's encrypted, so no other music app can see or play it.Īt least for the downloading side, I can see how that might get a touch dicey, especially when you get the paid subscription songs involved in offline downloads. The "download" option that exists in the Google Play Music app is actually more akin to the save for offline playback in Google Play Movies. You'll notice that for a Google service that is so geared towards the mobile experience, Google Play Music doesn't actually have a way to upload or download music directly from its Android app. Your times may vary but your patience will be rewarded. Uploading your initial library or downloading your whole library will of course depend upon how many songs you have and how fast your internet is, but if you have a few thousand songs, I'd give it a day or two to finish uploading everything. Because the app relies on background uploads and downloads, it's not lightning fast but it also doesn't bog down your computer's internet speeds while it manages your music. Once you've applied your settings, simply close the window and let the program run in the background while you use your computer normally.
