Problem with Google Music on my Tablet

  • I've put mytunes Pro back on the tablet but perhaps a big micro sd card is the answer.

    Certainly, having the music stored locally is a more reliable and simpler answer. You can still use Google Music to play them...

    I have many years of music stored on my pc and the idea of backing them up to the net appealed to me. It is 2013!

    I have many years of pictures and did think about uploading them to the net but I'd have to pay a packet for the space.

    I am now looking for a inexpensive portable hard drive (250gig or more) and 8, 16 or 32gig micro sd cards (1 for phone & 1 for tablet) - Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    Richard

    Amazon glacier is very cheap ($0.011 per GB per month) so long as you use it as a pure backup/archive rather than continually accessing it. There are costs to upload and download the data though, and you have to be careful if download large amounts of data.


    I paid 19p last month to store approx 15gb.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear, I wasn't saying don't back things up in the cloud, I was saying if you have the storage on your tablet, put the music onto it, rather than trying to play it from the cloud.
