Google Play Music Not Adding MP3s On-Demand
- by J0e3gan
My recent attempts to add music on-demand to Google Play Music have yielded nothing - no "Processing music..." or "Added __ of __" messages, just nothing.
Previously I could add music on-demand; and nothing has changed on the machine from which I successfully added music previously, from which I have tried to add music on-demand recently.
What could be hampering my ability to add music on-demand?
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
Right after I started using GPM, I briefly found that I could not add music (on-demand), but the problem went away after a logout/login. This time a logout/login has not helped.
Dragging & dropping or browsing to folders or files to add has made no difference either.
Nor has waiting ridiculously long for GPM to show signs of life after adding music on-demand seemed to work.
Digging deeper, I read a related Google Play Help article and followed its suggestions...
ran the Google Play Music Manager troubleshooter = no errors or warnings
double checked my available storage = 8 GB free
double checked supported file types = MP3 is still supported (of course)
..., but the problem remains.
UPDATE:
I found that if I configure GPM to automatically upload music added to specific folders, it strangely does add automatically what it will not add on-demand.
