| Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Kitten Mittens | 6/17/11 1:47 PM | I don't know why, but my offline music is presumably disappearing from my Android phone every couple of days. Sometimes it will stream music that I have made available offline instead of playing the local file, I can see it buffering and it sounds lo |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | mb87 | 6/28/11 11:19 AM | ...Well, just for the record this is also happening to me. It's also making completely random songs available for Offline, that I have not told it to make available offline. All of my offline music keeps deleting and downloading all over again as wel |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | RobHeaton | 7/6/11 8:25 AM | Having a very similar problem. So far from what I can tell it is either not downloading the songs I mark to have available offline, or downloading them to some folder that the normal android "Music" can't find. |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | ilopezpe | 7/10/11 4:08 PM | I am having the same issue. My offline music disappears, and consequently my android is always re-downloading music. |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | chiliu78 | 7/15/11 10:19 AM | Me too. I thought I was losing my mind. I have the HTC EVO 4G and every time I shut my phone off or reboot, Google Music has to redownload all the "offline" songs. I even plugged my phone into my computer just to clean out some picture files, etc |

| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | serpentny | 7/29/11 8:50 PM | Any updates on this? |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | tecknohow | 7/30/11 11:27 AM | This makes using Google Music on my EVO 3D for offline access almost impossible. Every time I reboot I'm forced to download all my 'offline' music again. Come on Google, this is supposed to be the main reason to use Google Music over competing servic |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | elistuy | 8/2/11 8:25 AM | Yea I have been having this problem too... I think it might have to do with the way the sd card is mounted- when you attach your phone to the computer the phone loses access to the sd card (where google music stores is songs)- so the phone not seeing |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Rsuazo | 8/4/11 5:01 PM | I just tested Elistuy's theory and he's right. this just happens when I connect my phone to the computer and mount the sd card. This is becoming really annoying, especially since I have T-mobile and the supposed to be unlimited plan is capped at 5GB. |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | kjmattson | 8/4/11 7:08 PM | My EVO 3d is also redownloading all offline music after rebooting. This issue has been sitting here for a while now. Is Google going to do anything about it? Even acknowledge it? |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | serpentny | 8/4/11 7:13 PM | All, Google has told me that this is an issue they are working on. Here is their response: --- Thank you for your note. We're aware of an issue with redownloading offline songs after disconnecting from usb and are working on a fix. Thanks for prov |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | wesmason | 8/6/11 8:34 PM | I reported a similar issue a month ago. Just had to re-download again. Hope it's fixed soon. |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Ryan00 | 8/11/11 4:54 PM | This is also happening to me on my Evo 3d. It's really annoying because it kills my battery having to re download all 210 songs offline agian. What gives? anyone know ?? |

| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Chadwick17 | 8/19/11 1:03 PM | I just noticed this problem today. Never had an issue with it before - or that I noticed. What's odd is that all of the offline music is actually still there. I switch my library to available offline only when it started downloading again and all the |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Chadwick17 | 8/19/11 1:06 PM | ... also, I have about 12GB of music made available offline so re downloading is EXTREMELY annoying. Good thing I still have an unlimited data plan. |

| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | ndkid | 10/1/11 1:26 PM | Same problem, the app is pretty much useless for me since without having downloaded stuff it KILLs my data plan. hope they fix it soon |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | evansc22 | 10/6/11 2:39 PM | Adding my name to the list of people with this problem. Understanding this is a beta product I'm still a little disappointed after being a long time iPhone carrier. I jumped ship for Android and love it! I just need this music thing to work out. I'm |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Badie | 11/2/11 6:22 AM | This is happening on my SGS II , too. It does not even have an SD Card :S Hope it gets fixed as fast as possible. The app is useless otherwise... |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | evansc22 | 11/2/11 6:38 AM | Badie, I downloaded the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the Music player and it fixed my problems.

| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Pete_St | 11/8/11 5:22 PM | It baffles me that this is an ongoing problem. At a minimum the fix is like two lines of code -- before deleting every song file every f-ing time, the app could prompt the user "Do you want to delete every f-ing song on your phone?" and then the user |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | tecknohow | 11/8/11 5:44 PM | Looks like the issue is fixed in the ICS version of the app. Running it for about a week now with no hiccups. Now everyone else just needs to wait for the update, or you can download from XDA, Android Police, etc. |
| Re: Can't access offline music when offline, forced to redownload when connected to Wi-Fi multiple times. | Badie | 11/18/11 12:50 PM | @Pete_St: I totally agree! As a developer, noone can say me we're working on it, and then need months to fix it. This bug was of course absolutely easy to fix. The developer of it should have found the problem in minutes and fixed it MAX one day. In |
