Thread necromancy.
I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I've been trying to download music from YouTube (downloading them as .mp3s) onto my (Android) phone, so I can listen to some of my favorite music when I'm away from home without having do go on YouTube and burn data to do it. I downloaded an app called Videoder, which is basically a YouTube app but it allows you to download videos as .mp3 or .mp4 files. I assumed it'd download the files and then I could play them from the default Google Play Music app. Only, Google Play Music doesn't list them, and since it doesn't seem to have a way for you to browse files, I can't figure out how to get it to find them. And, when I open the Downloads app, the .mp3 files I downloaded with Videoder don't show up. I have to open Downloads, then open the menu, select "Audio", then select an artist (in this case, the name of the YouTube account which had posted the video I downloaded), then select "Download", and that's where my files will be. And, even once I moved one of the .mp3s from "Audio - [artist] - Download" to the main "Downloads" folder, Google Play Music still wouldn't show it, even though it does show an .mp3 I downloaded from an annoying online file conversion site. Oh, and when I hooked my phone up to my PC and looked in my phone's Downloads folder, all the .mp3s were in the Downloads folder. Even though the phone didn't show them there. Wat.
I think I need a different music player app, and maybe a different way of downloading these files. I know this all might sound very noobish, but I haven't used this phone very much and I'm still getting used to it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
