Google Play Music: download very slow - what to do?
If the download on Google Play Music is very slow, this can have several reasons. We'll show you how to solve the problem.
Google Play Music: Download very slow
If you want to listen to your music offline in the Google Play Music app, you have to download it. However, this is not always possible at a decent pace. However, the following steps can help you download faster.
- WLAN: First, make sure that you are in a WLAN network. Here the download may run much faster.
- Pause: Also stop playing songs that you are currently streaming. So the download does not have to share the bandwidth with the stream.
- Updates: Stop all other downloads, such as app updates.
- Apps: In addition, close all apps that are currently using a connection to the Internet. Again, data is loaded in the background without being noticed.
Server problems with Google Play Music
- Every now and then it happens that individual Google servers break in or are overloaded. The result is that your songs drip slowly onto your smartphone.
- Only one thing helps here: Wait. In most cases, the download will work again after a few minutes or hours at the latest.
