For some reason, I cannot get the option inside of Play Music to download music to my gear live. battery life is over 75% and i am within close distance from phone to watch. My music is synced from itunes via easy phone sync. Am I missing something?
Play music, options, download to wear.

To be honest I haven't really messed around with Google music to know its capabilities, but maybe some has a straight answer for me.
My friend has apple TV and I am trying to see if I can do the same with Google music and chromecast.
I have a ton of music on my PC which is connected to the same network as my chromecast and my phone (when on WiFi). Is there a way from Google music I can access the music locally from my PC and play it on the device that my chromcast us plugged in to?
I do not want to have to upload all my music to the cloud for this to work. I just want to play it locally.

I don't believe there is a way to do that with Chromecast. However, if you have a smart TV there are other ways to link your PC to your TV over your Wifi connection.
But may I ask, why you wouldn't just upload your music? Sure it's a pain the ONE time you have to do it, but after that it's all gravy
B/c it seems like a pain. Lol, I guess maybe its worth doing. What's the limit on Google music?

Hopfully Chromecast will one day allow casting of locally stored media.
Until then you can cast music from your PC via Chrome browser.

I uploaded my music collection a long time ago. Google music is awesome because I can access my music from anywhere. If you are worried about not having internet access just hit the button that stores the music on your device. Download enough songs to hold you over until your back to internet service.
When I download new music on my computer, its instantly uploaded and available on my devices and I don't need a massive amount of storage on my device.
Google music works flawlessly with chromecast as well. Now I can sit outside on my patio and run the music from my phone.
And yes if I want to play something local through chromecast I just stream it through a chrome tab.

Works great with Google music all access.

How do you do this from a PC. The only way seems to be to cast the Google Music tab..
I have the Gear and SN3. I want to be jogging and advance the next Pandora song from the Gear if possible...
I downloaded Media Remote
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appshroom.mediaremote
But this just does as the media controller on the device and does not advance Pandora...
Anyone able to do this?

I have not tried it with Pandora, but when I play Google Play Music on my Note 3 and use Media Controller on my Gear it allows me to skip tracks. Also I used Media Controller with Doggcatcher on my Note 3. The trick for me was to load those up on the phone first and then Media Controller seems to use whatever the active app is. Not sure if it would work with Pandora but I'm guessing it would be the same.
I just tried the Pandora app with the Media controller and it works just fine.

Well I did but accidentally and dont know the combination yet how I did it. So if I have Pandora open and then open MC on Gear when I hit forward it opens my default app "Player Pro" and pauses Pandora...
Somehow I end up with PlayPro showing paused in notification area and now Pandora advances... How dont know how I got there...
I own a macbook and have a lot of bookmarks on my safari browser, lots of them contained within folders. I used my mybookmarks app to transfer them to my htc one but they are just in one massive list, no folders, i was able to also import them on my google chrome browser, but same thing, they are still in a huge list.
Is there anyway around this?
I also have a spotify account, how to I transfer songs to the stock music player app on the one....?
Anybody know...........
Dont know about the bookmarks but with Spotify you dont own the music, you stream it with the ability to download tracks on the premium version. Download the Spotify app from the Play Store and log in using your account and youll find all your playlists are synced. It integrates very nicely with Sense and the lockscreen so acts pretty much like the HTC Music App.

I have the premium version and yes I can download to listen offline but would just be nice r to transfer them to my music
I presume if I cancel Spotify my downloads are still there

No, you lose them. Spotify is a rental service.
Hey guys,
I am having some issues with getting my music on to my watch. I uploaded my private music to Google play music on my computer and then I installed Google play music on my phone. There I can listen to my private music without a hitch, so it all basically works.
Now when I tick the option to store it on my watch for offline playback, nothing happens... It won't start syncing, no matter what I do =/
Will it only sync music that I actually bought through the play store?
Or has anyone else gotten it to work so far?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Michael

I'm not sure if it is relevant but are you a play music subscriber, i.e paying the £7 or whatever the price is?
I got my watch today and had no problem getting the music to download.
With the option selected, go back to your library and click on the download button again, that might work?
Best of luck and merry Christmas
Yeah I am a subscriber.
I downloaded a playlist from google play music and it synchronized with my watch right away. Just the Musik I uploaded from my pc won't sync.
Could it be because it's missing IDE3 Tags? Or because the names are wrong or so?
Edit:
OK, problem solved! Probably a rather stupid mistake I made, but I bet there are others out there as clueless as me... So here's the solution: The music from the Google play music app is ONLY synced to the Android wear watch, once it is downloaded onto the phone as an offline playlist. It makes perfect sense, of course, but I didn't quite get it in the beginning... So what I did, was create a playlist with my private music and checked the "download to device" button. Once the download was done, it automatically sent it to my LG watch.
Thanks for the reply anyway and a merry Christmas to you too!

Google play music has been a letdown being a "locker" and I don't use Spotify or Pandora. SoundCloud is supposed to be a partner but they haven't updated their app yet... I currently use PlayerPro, are there any other music apps compatible that will play music stored on my phone? Ideally supporting POPM and ReplayGain ID3 tags

You can use Google play music to play stuff on your phone.
If the music you want is already uploaded to Google music, just download it to your phone from the google music app and it will play offline

Have been doing this to an extent, but GPM is just not good enough. I already put a lot of time in to my collection and GPM is requiring even more effort. It also likes playing my ringtone/notification oggs. Very annoying.
The whole idea of this thread is to not use GPM.
