So it’s a perfect music streaming app for all music lovers.
However, like any other app, Google Play Music has its own share of problems. We have made a list of some common problems faced by Play Music users, and how to resolve them.
- Duplicate Track
Many users have complained that they have witnessed duplicate tracks that have been saved to their Google Play Music.
The Play Music app doesn’t have a way to identify and delete duplicate tracks, you can delete the entire collection and re-upload it and hope it works in your favour. Ensure that doubles aren’t already present in the library.
- Payment Issue
Often users have complained across error messages stating that the payment has been declined, cannot be processed, or that the card is not eligible. This happens when setting up the by the first time users.
This can be tackled by trying out some standard steps such as removing and re-adding the payment method, which ensures that card information is correct, or you may try out some another payment method. In case your card is working fine with other, you may need to contact your bank or Google to find out what the issue is. You can also try out restarting the app and it may work out for you.
Let’s go to Applications in the Settings menu and scroll down to Google Play Store and then tap on Force Stop. After that, tap on Storage > Clear Cache > Clear Data.
- Tracks Missing On Phone But Available On Web Player
