Google Play Music: Music Won’t Upload,Crashes On Upload Or Pauses.

 

SOLVED: Looks like a bug.  This happened to me when I tried adding individual folders (albums) to upload.  If I have a single folder then Music Manager uploads everything fine.

The way I got around it…
1) Create a folder for google music manager.  Example: “C:\GoogleMusicFolder”
2a) Either copy the music you want to upload into the folder
or
2b) Create links to the music you want uploaded.  (information on how to do this later)
3) You can write down the list you had already configured to upload.  My list was big so I decided to do this.  You can copy it from the registry.  The registry key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\MusicManager\SharedMusicFolders
4) Configure Google Music Manager… On the advanced tab, set the “Location of my music collection” to point to your folder.
5) I also selected the folder in the upload tab.
Here is how I created links mentioned in 2b.  Start by opening a command prompt with administrator privileges.  (you can google it)
In the command prompt, I executed these commands:
C:
cd C:\GoogleMusicFolder
mklink /D “The Prodigy” “c:\Shared Music\The Prodigy”

That creates a link called “The Prodigy” to the directory “c:\Shared Music\The Prodigy”.  Google Music Manager will then see “The Prodigy” as a directory and proceed to upload all the music in it.

 

I hope this helps, it was taken from here:

How to extract hundreds or thousands of MP3’s from hundreds of album folders

Well I wanted to extract all my MP3’s to one single folder rather than have them all automatically sorted and sorted into album folders.

The best way to do this was go to the folder the music and music albums are in. Then do a search for “*.*” without the quotes to bring up all files in the music folder.

Once that is done highlight all CTRL + A and then CUT & PASTE into a new folder e.g “All Music Tracks”

Hey presto! no need for any freeware or third party programs! as easy as that!

Enjoy 🙂
