I Dont Think People Are Getting The Point Of Google Music
Will Google ever fix Google Music and make it into something that's actually useful?

Google is not going to focus on desktops apps heavily, it doesn't really make sense for them to do so really.

It makes sense if they want to unseat iTunes as the number 1 music platform...which is something they CAN do.
They need to do it on mobile first. That's what is important

It need not be either or....but they're not even doing it on mobile right.
Like when I pick an album on my phone, it won't even play the damn songs in order

Google needs to do something with the phone app cause it's ass right now.
wtf would I make that up for. Did you download the 'Google Play Music Manager' for your desktop? There is an option that says "Automatically upload songs added to Itunes". Idiot.

Let me try to explain this again:
I've been using iTunes for nearly a decade now. I have an iPod Classic that I mainly use in the car (this is how I listen to music 90% of the time), and an iPod Nano that I use in the gym (how I listen to music 8% of the time).... Streaming with Google Music would only be used 1% of the time.
When I, uhh, acquire music, I add the file to the folder, and then to iTunes, then add individual songs to playlist(s) if applicable.
My complaint is that I don't want to have to do this for Google Music as well. Especially since I keep my music on an external hard drive, and I almost always have to fight with it to automatically upload into Google music so that it even recognizes the new music.
And the metadata issue which I'll post examples of in a sec...
If I could get one program that handles both cloud music and physical storage I'd be
I imagine iCloud does this, but it ain't free, thus not worth it, since I'd only use the cloud portion 1% of the time.
Make sense?
Download/install google music manager, specify itunes as your music source, specify entire library or only playlist to upload, and let it do it's thing.
I swear I really think some of you nikkas are borderline retarded when it comes to technology.
Did you bother reading my complaints?
Nah, you just came in here desperately trying to cape up for Google, smh
From all appearances Google has no intention on ever creating a desktop application....they've fallen too much in love with the cloud. I'm not convinced it will ever get there.
They don't need a desktop application when it can just use itunes. Everything you do in itunes Google Music will replicate.
I'm saying. This nikka is getting mad because he's using the service wrong and don't wanna listen. Google Music been 
for me. Greatest shyt ever.

Obviously I downloaded the music manager, that's the only way to get music in there...but it ain't operating as y'all described... I'm bout to just try to start over...I'll take the L for user error, I just want it to be fukking useful

Again that's not Googles fault. The problem is you never tagged your music yourself and did it within ITunes so when you try to upload it on google music of course it's gonna be fukked up and songs not play in order. I dumped iTunes a long time ago bc it kept tagging my music fukked up. Like I said earlier it's a pain in the ass but worth it to download a music tagging program and tag all of your music yourself before uploading it to any music platform.
Dudes already told you. Check the iTunes box and every song you put into iTunes get upload to Google music automatically. It get stored in the cloud. Same shyt as making a dedicated Google music software.

Nah, it's Google's fault. I know the music is tagged properly cuz when I pull it up in the browser it has the songs in order. It's when I try to play an album on my phone that it plays out of order. And Google should have some way of at least viewing this in a list format so I can see what's tagged improperly with ease...I hate this "album flow" format...just list the damn tracks.
With that said, it appears that it may've been user-error in terms of iTunes synching so I'll reserve judgement til I fix that

I thought I did that... is there a way to delete my entire library and start over?
I did the iTunes thing again, but it looked like it was just adding to the music I already had on there...i.e. duplicating some and filling up...

No, it's iTunes fault. When you tag a song in iTunes it doesn't save the tagging to the mp3. It saves it to a separate database. That's been a known problem with iTunes. Use tag&rename to do your mp3 tags if you're planning on using non apple devices. It stores the tags to the mp3 so regardless of what player you use, the tags will show properly.
