I've been trying to get this working now for a week! I still can't see any music on my Droid X, even though I uploaded my entire collection via the music manager on my PC. I can see my whole collection on the music beta site in my browser.

I just tried the above method on my X, and still, it doesn't show my music at all on the X.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd prefer to use this over Amazon, but I'm just not having any luck getting it working.

*Edit* - My Droid X also doesn't show up on the list of "Authorized Devices" in my Music Beta settings. Argh!

2nd Edit - And Google's no help. Sent in a bug/feedback/help thing a week ago. ugh

Make sure you're logged into Google with the same account that the Music Beta invitation (and loading) are for.

I'm having exactly the same issue as well. Yes, its logged in from the same account. Tried re-installing app also after clearing the files.

Didn't do anything for me. Still can't access anything. I even tried the earlier leaked 3.0 release of Google Music and it doesn't work either.

I'm logged into my only google account on both the phone and PC. And yes, I got an invite from google.

I got the invite last week. Uploaded all my songs but the Google upload software failed to upload about 30 songs even though they are .mp3. I tested those files and they indeed work. Needs an option where i can upload one song.

Overall I like it.

Got mine on May 23rd. Lovin' it so far, but I am a bit disappointed by some lacking basic features of the Android app, so I use the web player most of the time.

I requested an invite just to play with it. Honestly, the last thing I do with my phone is listen to music with it. Ive got XM and the app and once in a blue moon plug that into my truck and listen. I hardly listen to XM for that matter. At least ive got the lifetime subscription so I can waste it forever.

bleedGreen · Jun 1, 2011

I seriously requested it awhile ago. No invites at all. Any one know why.

I finally got my invite, the service is amazing. This is great.

I got my google music beta invite, started uploading my library.

SBF'd phone, installed the OTA 2.3 update. installed the latest version of Music 3.0.1...

doesn't detect my music beta account.

i tried uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing the application data, all kinds of stuff, nothing.

Yes i'm using the same google account that got the invite..

thanks,
atek3

PS hahaha 30 seconds after I wrote this it said, "welcome to google music"

I signed up the first day, and just got mine today. So it can take a while. So far I've tried been using it on PC and I have to say I really like it. Gave it a limited test on my X2 (not worth it till they fix the crackle). I'll give it a shot on my Chromebook later tonight (CR48, not one of the new ones). So far it's great, I just wonder how much they are going to charge for it once out of beta.

Also, the upload speed is not great. I'm get 32 megs per second on my upload, but it's uploading MUCH slower than that.

jshurak · Jun 2, 2011

I got my invite a week or so ago. The website works beautifully however, I'm have trouble actually streaming on my EVO. My whole collection appears, but only 1 out of 10 songs will actually come through and stream. Lots of 'failed to retrieve stream' or something like that. Anyone else noticing this?

Timanator · Jun 2, 2011

Got mine yesterday.

bleedGreen · Jun 2, 2011

Got mine approx 1.30pmISH......and downloading as we speek!!!

Excited!!
Now if only that frkn OTA will happen........=bliss

simollie · Jun 2, 2011

Got mine yesterday. Been uploading since last night. The upload is slow and I didn't get to choose what to exclude. Other than that it works great.

djxxcess · Jun 2, 2011

I just got mine last night really haven't played much with it yet.

nebraska · Jun 4, 2011

I got mine like 2 weeks back ! I uploaded half of my music library. I am using Amazon Cloud Player. I like it better than Google Music Beta. Upload is faster in Amazon and you have better control over uploading song ( you pause the upload and choose specific songs). In Google Music, you cannot pause the upload and uploading is very slow ! Also, in Amazon web handling or arranging songs and stuff is better. Amazon music app is also better than google music app. Thats what I think

Crude · Jun 4, 2011

Got my invite last night.

I just got done cleaning up my library and scheduling it for upload.

Some of the highlights are online database.
I can stream my music from any computer or Android 2.2 device.
I can download from my online database to make the song available in case of internet failure.
You can port your entire Itunes library ( not really for me ).
It seems to have a built in tag editor.

I love the clean layout and ease of access...

Uploaded my 30 gb collection in about a day to a day and a half so it uploads very quickly. I've got about 4500 songs up there. My only gripe is that it doesn't upload my playlists for some reason so I guess I'm going to have to re-create them from scratch.

I requested my invite on day one and received my invite on June 1. Downloaded/Sync'd my music (itunes) with no problem. I only wish the service handled videos as well.

A.Nonymous, I too wondered why my playlist didn't sync. I have to many to recreate, granted I rarely use them. So for me it's not an issue. HOWEVER, this feature should work.
