Well it Don't hurt to Try does it I'm going to give it a Look in a Bit and try some stuff)  i did have a spoof with App Wildman when i was Doing the Download.. ol Maxxy decided she didn't like something and coughed it up = she shut Down and repowered and didn't take the App) So i re-tried it again and she took the App the second time.  It's been a While since one of my Phone's done that while Loading an App.. i was a bit surprised by it..

Looks like things haven't changed, now it dont want to upload mp3s from pc and does not explain why...

Only 6 songs uploaded correctly, there isnt any issues with files and they play on pc so there is not reason that the application couldn't upload them.

That should mean that it will be downloaded to your device..

You can also check your settings for the application for when the music will download to the device.

Wildman, are you trying to upload from iTunes or Windows Media Player or something else?

I have tried doing it from Window Media Player and also personal folders and have similar outcome, also I have read on a number of forums that this seems to be a regular bug and this is why I stopped trying to use it.

I have seen that error, but only for a few songs. The upload manager apparently isn't compatible with WMP 11 on Windows 7.

I have to check my manager again, but I got 5000+ songs to upload to Google Play.

I tried a few times with songs from iTunes when I first tried it some while back when it was first released and only had 4 of the 20 files that I tried.

It would be nice if Google would let the user know what files are actually in the correct format and then all I would have to do it convert the files to the correct format to minimize upload issues.

The strange part is that I checked the files formats that successfully uploaded and compared the difference with failed files and there did not seem to be any differences.

I haven't found the common theme either. I have had errors on some songs that eventually get uploaded to the cloud later.

I don't use the Google Play daily since I don't play music all the time from the phone, but I do use each time on my Nexus.  I have even switched to using most of the time on the Tbolt when I do play music.
