Title: Where do Library files live?
Post by: joelgeez on September 02, 2013, 02:53:24 PM
Purchased an alarm clock app, one that provides the option of playing music. Then I went to Play Store and downloaded album. Purchased music, played music offline so I'm pretty sure it's on my Nexus 7 2.
Now I can't find where Android stashes magazines, books, and media. I can access them through the Play app, but ES file explorer doesn't show me where they are. Music folder is empty. Would've thought Android would put music in music folder. What was I thinking? I've gone the storage/android/data/ path to find empty folders.
Anyway, I realize there's something I'm not understanding. Where do these Library files reside and how can I move music, say, to the music folder?
Anyone? This is my 1st Android device so treat me gently.
Thanks.
Joel

Music purchased from Google Play can be downloaded for offline use. Follow the directions in the following link.

Even if you follow Primes link and download music for offline use I don't think any application other than Google Play music will be able to use it. Your best bet would be to have physical MP3's on your device for this use...

No worries, depending on your devices storage you only need a few MP3's for that use. At least that's how I do it, the rest of my music is on the cloud, GPM.
