Once the installation was complete, I launched a command prompt and installed ‘eyeD3‘ using pip: eyeD3-install *Note: I am on a Windows machine, and the utility I will show you apparently requires version 2.7 of Python, so get that one :)ĭuring the installation, I let the installer add python.exe to my PATH variable. This digging, however, also led me to a Python utility that could do it – and so, into the world of Python.įirst, I had to install Python, which was dead easy – “Song was purchased with another Google Play account”Ī little digging led me understand that Google hides their DRM in a hidden ID3 tag that is not easily removable by conventional means. You can see the error in the troubleshooter – ![]() (Apparently not of all the music contains DRM?) At this point, I had to wait for ALL of my music to be re-uploaded to Google’s servers.Īfter the music had uploaded, there were 17 songs that could not be uploaded because I had purchased them under a different account. Once I had verified the music had been downloaded, I logged out in the Music Manager application, and logged in under my new account. Before doing this, I made sure the music manager had downloaded any purchased music to my NAS because I will be deleting the old Google Account permanently. Recently, I wanted to switch to a new Google Account because I was changing primary email addresses. As a precaution, I also use the Music Manager application to keep a local backup of all of this music on my NAS. With a stand-alone Google Play Music app, you can safely download your music library and transfer them into an external flash drive or CD just as you would any other files you'd transfer from your computer to your external device.I purchase all of my music through Google Play, and I primarily use their web application to listen to it. If you were to download all of your Google Play Music uploads and shut it down, you could cause serious damage to Google's servers - and Google doesn't recommend this. ![]() For those who aren't so tech savvy, this makes sense because shutting it down can be risky if you aren't dealing with an official Google account. One nice aspect of the upgrade to Google Play Music is the ability to shut it down and turn it into a "stand-alone" app. It's certainly more convenient than digging through your PDA or cell phone for your download sources. The interface is relatively easy to use, and you can also access all of your other apps from your laptop if you have one. If you're a music lover who wants to manage all of your music library on a central interface that you can access from anywhere, it may be worth checking out this software. While it's true that most people will never use all the features that Google has introduced in those areas (such as Chrome's "Bookmarks" function or Gmail's new feature that lets you look up your old emails), the new music manager still has some value. It's part of the company's efforts to become more integrated with its digital product offerings - everything from Chrome, Gmail, and Android. Music Manager for Google Play Music is part of a long line of products from Google that are getting an upgrade. Music Manager's functionality hasn't been changed - the upgrade simplifies the whole process. It's part of the upgrade to the latest operating system. However, any Google Play Music subscribers that have successfully migrated to YouTube Music should do so immediately. Opening the program shows the usual message, Music Manager isn't available. The Music Manager desktop program for managing uploads from Google Play Music now works with the new version 4.5. ![]()
