Google Music

I'm afraid I already know the answer to this but is there a way to copy/save music from the Google Music Player app to either my SD card or my PC?

I believe Google Music allows you to download the music you have in your account, yes. On your phone, there should be an option in the menu to allow you to download music for offline playback. On your computer, the Music Manager software allows you to download music from your account to your computer (the Google Music website might also let you download tracks to your computer, not sure, I never tried it, honestly).

I was hoping to be able to save a particular album I just purchased for a QUARTER (still a little shocked by that) and be able to burn a copy to CD for my father-in-law who doesn't and never will own any sort of mp3 device or handheld other than his jitterbug-like flip phone.

I'm not sure about the PC end but songs can be made available offline through the phone app. I think that's the closest you can get.

edit: bah, I've been ninja'd!

Ninja'd? Not another term for this noob to learn!? lol

Thanks for the info. I'll see what I can do with it.

To get the download manager for the first time you need to click on upload music.

I save every CD I buy at the Market to Google Music. From there I just hit "download purchased music" in Music Manager on my PC and set the directory, and it goes to my PC. I then drag and drop onto Phone while connected USB. And if I want burn CD on PC to play in car. Can't beat 25 cent CD's, even if there's only 1 decent song.

This APPEARS to be working. Seems to be copying the file(s). SLOWLY...but, as long as it works. Thanks for taking the time to reply whether it actually does work or not. I'll let you know!

Yes, it downloads as slow as it uploads.

The Google Music app will let you download songs for offline use. BUT... From what I can tell, they're stored in hidden folders, so you can't just browse your sd card to find them. I agree the best thing is to download them to your PC and then move them to your phone's card.
