Where does Google Music store the “offline tracks” on Android

Question:

I have about 8 gigs of music stored within Google Music, and I recently got sick of streaming (and risking data charges), so I painstakingly allowed it to be stored offline. So my fresh 16 gig SD card now only had 8 gigs left. Then, I flashed a new rom, thinking that all my music would still be there cached (or however it works), but I was wrong. When I click "show offline tracks only" within the Google Music app, it shows nothing, yet my SD card still only has 8 gigs of space left.

So, my question is, where are these offline tracks stored on my SD card so I can go in and delete them, to free up space so I can back them all up again?

Thanks!



Answer

/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

you can clean this folder out if you wish.

Top 5 Best Free Addictive Games for Google Android Devices

Although there are many free games available for Android phones but I picked only a few games which are so addictive that you cant stop playing. Today in this topic, we are going to list 5 free games for Google Android devices such as mobile phones and tablets which are very addictive.

So without wasting time, lets share the games:

1. Swiped

"Swiped" is the most addictive game I found on Google Play. In this game, you get different kind of gems on screen and you just need to swipe and make longest chain of similar gems. Each level comes with 2 minutes time and a predefined score. You need to catch up that score within the given time period. If you do it, you get access to next level otherwise your game is over.

The game comes with 5 different modes to play: Classic, Gem Mania, Time Attack, Score Panic and Continuous.

Youll also get some help from a magician and witch which come randomly in each level.

The sound and graphics are awesome. You can download the game using following link:

Download Swiped Game for Android Devices

2. Paper Toss

"Paper Toss" is my 2nd favorite game. The game looks very simple at first sight but its very addictive. You just need to toss a crumpled paper into a metal trash basket in this game. The thing which makes the game interesting is the wind pressure coming from a fan placed near the paper.

You need to calculate the direction in which you should toss the paper so that it goes directly into the trash after facing the wind pressure coming from the fan.

The whole game appearance looks realistic and youll really enjoy the game. This game comes with 6 different levels of difficulty.

You can download it using following link:

3. Basketball Shoot

"Basketball Shoot" is based on realistic physics. You need to put the ball in basket as usual. You get limited basketballs in each level. To play the game, just touch the screen, drag the dotted line to change the angle and power and release the screen to shoot the basketball.

You can choose different backgrounds to play the game such as airport, beach, etc.

I love the music of this game. You can download it using following link:

4. Best Tic Tac Toe

Remember the good old Xs and Os game (also known as Noughts and Crosses) in which you need to create a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of similar marks to win the game? The same classic "Tic Tac Toe" game can also be played in Android devices.

"Best Tic Tac Toe" game comes with 3 modes: 3x3, 6x6 and 15x15. It supports both single player and double players mode.

The graphics are excellent. You can download it from following link:

5. Traffic Jam Free

And here is the last game in our list. "Traffic Jam" is yet another addictive game. As the name indicates, you get a yellow car in each level which is stuck in traffic jam. You need to clear the way by pushing other vehicles here and there and get the yellow car out of the traffic jam.

Its really a great game and youll need to think really hard in higher levels. The game comes with 5000 levels.

You can download it using following link:

Turn off the annoying social features in Google Reader

Even though Google Reader is probably the best and most widely used application for following RSS feeds, it still has it’s problems and shortcomings. After the launch of Google Buzz, one of the most common complaint was the connection with Buzz, because it generates duplicates and disables comments on buzz originating in Google Reader.

Since Buzz doesn’t have a way to filter content (yet), for some the only solution to separate the two would be to hide the items shared by others in Google Reader and using only Buzz for social interactions. Unfortunately, if you follow a lot of people, hiding their shared items from the sidebar one by one can be time-consuming.

Apparently, the Reader team has developed a faster way to turn off shared items and I found it on Twitter, when somebody asked them this question. While you are on the Google Reader page, simply type the following JavaScript command in the address bar of your browser and hit ‘Enter’:
javascript:antisocial(true)
After the page reloads, the ‘People you follow’ section from the sidebar will be completely hidden. Furthermore, keyboard shortcuts linking to these items and comments will no longer work. It’s a pretty complete solution!

Antisocial Reader off                                    Antisocial Reader on

The setting seems to be stored in a cookie, because loading Reader in another browser reverts to the usual, ‘social’ interface. So, if you want to go back to the standard you can clear the cookies or use the same JavaScript code to set the variable to ‘false’: javascript:antisocial(false).

I would recommend however not to play around with this toggle too much; I have noticed that Reader tends to become unstable and slow if you use it too often. It starts to display errors and stops loading shared items, even in the default state. Maybe it’s still experimental, but it would be great if the toggle would be integrated in the settings and stored in the Google account, like for the followed blogs from Blogger.
