How do I set the Google Music Play app to store the local "offline" music on the SD Card? I've used up about 90% of my internal storage.

I've looked in the app Settings and don't see any options for that.

Hope there will be an answer that doesn't require root... – Cawas Apr 29 at 17:50

If your phone is rooted you can solve this via a shell command:

mount -o bind [Path to new Location] /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music/

(Replace [Path to new Location] with a Folder on your external SD-Card)

It will basically redirect every access to the default folder to the Folder which is specified.

You probably need to do this every time you reboot your Phone, so you may be interested in putting a script which does that into Autostart.

You need to provide the answer in your answer. If the link dies if the future, the link becomes useless. At least an overview of the answer or the steps to do would be useful. – geffchang Dec 29 '12 at 11:05
Please don't provide just a link. Post the solution instead with the reference to the original source. – Flow♦ Dec 29 '12 at 11:05
It only works on rooted devices. It basically does a scripted bind-mount of the desired target location into Google's default folder every reboot ('mount -o bind /desired/target/location /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music/'). – ce4 Dec 29 '12 at 12:36
