Sorry - finding a subject title for this one was a nightmare!
So, I'm new to using Google Play Music. Free account, I just want somewhere to upload and store all my own music. I was using Amazon Cloud player, but Google being free etc.
I'll give you an exact example of an issue I'm having - see if anyone else has experienced the same and maybe has a solution?
Uploading Album "In Time: The best of R.E.M. 1988-2003
Album should contain 18 tracks, which it does. All 18 tracks tagged correctly.
Upload the album, I'm informed 18 tracks have been uploaded. Check the album in my library, only showing 10 tracks. The missing 8 already exist in my library, however are tagged to different albums. So, missing tracks:
Man on the Moon - Already in library, tagged to Automatic for the people
What's the frequency, Kenneth? - Already in library, tagged to Monster
E-Bow the letter - Already in library, tagged to New adventures in Hi-Fi
Daysleeper - Already in library, tagged to Up
The sidewinder sleeps tonite - Already in library, tagged to Automatic for the people
Electrolite - Already in library, tagged to New adventures in Hi-Fi
Everybody Hurts - Already in library, tagged to Automatic for the people
At my most beautiful - Already in library, tagged to Up
So very basically, if the track already exists, even though it is in a totally different album, I cannot get it to now appear in this "best of" album.
I've got about 3 complilation albums with similar issues - tracks also appear in already uploaded albums by the bands in question. Also have two Manic Street Preachers albums that also will not complete because single tracks already exist.
Is there anything I can do here? I want to store all my music online. Amazon music does this, but costs. Google doesn't cost, but at the moment there are some albums I cannot store for whatever reason.
