google play music app question

dougm1970

i have a good bit of music uploaded as part of the 50,000 tracks it lets you upload....typically bootleg live albums which wont be on likes of spotify.

anyway...is there a way to make the app only show me the tracks uploaded and not them mixed with whats on my device ?

i don't want to add a .nomedia file to folders as my local music app won't see them then.

i'd just like to have one app for the google play stored online music and another for local to phone music, if possible.

thanks in advance for any replies.

A search on google might have returned the same result I found.

Scroll through the comments a few methods to do so are posted. Examples: -

Clear the data from the app info screen, and when you open it up, deny access to storage. Now it'll only show uploaded and purchased music.

Open Google Music - on the left pick "Music Library" - then choose "Songs" as your filter along the top of the page - then on the far right change your "All Music" to "PURCHASED & UPLOADED"
Doing this in the browser version of Google Music works great. The steps might be different when using the app on iOS and Android devices.
