easier said than done. I have about 750MB of music in MP3 format, hardly easy to put on a phone.

While that may be a lot of music files, no excuse for taking the lazy approach with the cloud junk..

You CAN get a portable Hard drives with builtin wifi hotspot and it will act like your own personal PRIVATE cloud..

1TB NAS Wifi external HD

and I highly doubt you would really need access to 100% of ALL of your music files, do what any other person would do, just copy SOME of the music that you are interested in listening to to your phone..

Then when you get bored, replace with other music from your library..

I keep only 2-4 gig of music on a 32gig USB stick for my vehicle, 2,000 or so songs.. Takes months to get through..

I find it much easier to have uploaded all my music to google play, course now it is on utube, but it's all there and accesible. And in the car I have all my music on the HD in the car audio system or on an ipod via usb to the car.

I also use free Muzio music app on my Android and it is great replacement for Google Play Music IMHO. You can easily create playlist on Muzio. I buy my music from Amazon Prime Music for .99 cents or 1.29 per song. Works well for me. Cheers

Just went through this myself. I like Muzio although it's a little more clunky than Google play. You do have to download your music to your phone first. My biggest complaint is the inability to buy music. If I use Shazam or hear a song I like I used to be able to buy it. I haven't found an app yet that allows me to do it. What platforms allow you to search and buy music now? Seems inhibitive to the artists selling music.

It sound like all your music is already on a computer load from CD’s. I had a similar problem loading my music on an IPod. Took the computer and IPod to a local computer guy and paid him to do it. A few days later and maybe $40, it was done. If not all your music is on the computer or CD’s, you have a problem I cannot help you with.

If you have a Best Buy near you, see if they have the Samsung reps available. The rep will take you through the change and will also update the phone with latest software.

OK it sounds like your music is NOT on your phone.

So I found THIS PAGE with the option to transfer to Youtube Music at the top. When you click on the link at the top, it takes you to a screen to start the transfer. You will need to be logged in to your Google account. Probably simpler to do that beforehand.

I went with pulsar after play music died. It has been drama free. It automatically finds any music uploaded to the phone.
