Android Music

-         Began this b/c Amazon Music would not play from cloud on Avatar tablet
-         On Avatar, must download Amazon Music before will play.  S4 will play from cloud.  Why is this?
-         Can queue multiple albums by starting a download, then going back and selecting another album
-         Amazon Music file locations (virtual SD card with limited space)
-         Purchased (.mp3 files):  /mnt/sdcard/music/album artist/album
      -  view in Settings>Storage>Nand Flash>Audio (see total used)
-         Prime (.m4a files):  /mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.amazon.mp3/files/music/album artist/album
      -    view in Settings>Storage>Nand Flash>Apps>Amazon Music (SD card field shows total used)

In either case can view: Settings>Storage>Nand Flash>Audio and select ES File Explorer

-         moved Amazon Music App from Internal Storage to Nand Flash, then back since presently have more room there (Prime .m4a files using Nand Flash space)
-          note multiple ways refer to virtual SD card (Nand Flash, sdcard, USB storage app [when Move to SD card])
-         when move an app to (virtual) SD card, a small amount remains in Internal Storage and more than the original amount is used by “USB storage app”.  Restore to original by “Move to Tablet”

-         BubbleUPnP works well with purchased /downloaded Amazon Music files and with Google Music
-         I need to clean up my Google Music library
-         must sync when make changes to Google Music
-         free version will not open Filesystem or External SD Card folders
-         if I run into space issues, move non-Prime music to real SD card and upgrade to paid version, or use another player to play locally.  Network play can use NAS as source
