Google must be supporting Windows client better. I am getting a bit more annoyed and a bit more stubborn. I guess there might be some vulnerability with this level of unsupported tool but I don't want to do this now. So it's an expired certificate from what I gather. (I redacted some parts of the output, not sure if any of them are sensitive but better safe than sorry). Let's tail ~/.config/google-musicmanager $ tail -F google-musicmanager.log config folder in my home directory contains google-musicmanager and a log. I am slightly annoyed but very stubborn so I push it. I install my music manager, sign in and select to Download all my music, specify a folder. But I am Smart (or stubborn), I navigated around, found the link to actually download it. Following the link doesn't really lead me to downloading the Music manager, just a help page. It was fairly easy to get there - MyAccount from my profile image, then Takeout then click on Create Archive.Īll seems good, right? Do you notice the small print?Īh, I need to use Google Play Music Manager to actually get my music. My first attempt was the assumption that I can get my music as a part of the standard Google Get Back My Data or whatever. So eventually I always just went to YouTube to listen to music.īut now that I am trying to detach a little bit from the cloud and get my data back I wanted to try to download my music from Google Music. I tried the trial several times, I paid subscriptions several times over the years, but I never enjoyed the suggestions it was giving me and somehow the music I wanted, wasn't there. Then of course, they started pushing their paid service - fair enought. So, go to, then in the top left corner, hit the 9 boxes icon and then go to play, then to the left hit music and then my music and they will all be right there for you in your library.Here's how I got my music from Google Music (as of March 2018) Tags:Īt some point I uploaded all my music on Google Music - they provided 20,000 songs upload for free. Downloading them to you device is only to help you in off line play and not so much for transfer. However, Google is really good at letting you play your files from anywhere if you got them through their service. You still need the software you purchased them through. If you bought them off of some service even if you thought you got the MP3 and have the right to transfer them, you unfortunately don't technically own them in that manner. If the files were ripped from a CD and you have the raw MP3 files then you can transfer them anywhere you like. This helps fight piracy, and no one will change that no matter how you complain. If the files you copied were downloaded over a service like Google Play Music, iTunes or something like that they are encrypted files that are not normally recognized without the app.
