You can now access the Google Play Music cloud from nearly any third-party Android music player. Sourcery, you say? Not if you have a rooted device and are running GMusicFS which is available down. GMusicFS works by mounting the Play Music cloud as a FUSE filesystem. And because of this, the music stored on Google’s cloud appears like any standard file that can be played.
Unfortunately, this won’t exactly work on every device, every ROM, or every aftermarket media player. For starters, you need to be on a rooted device running Android 4.0+ on an ARM CPU. You also need to have SuperSU or Superuser installed, as well as a compatible music player. So far, Poweramp, Winamp, PlayerPro, and N7player are verified working. However, other players such as Deadbeef and XenoAmp won’t work with GMusicFS.
So here is the main content
GMusicFS is a unique app that exposes cloud Google Music as a FUSE filesystem on rooted devices
EDIT 03/03/2014: v1.0.12+ has no restrictions anymore (100% free), fixes recent album sync issues but not playlist sync yet. It is not available anymore on Google Play and you can download the APK below instead.
Download APK v1.0.13

The goal is to bring Google Music streaming support to most third party music players like Poweramp, PlayerPro, n7player and many more.
From the point of view of these apps, Google Music tracks will look like regular files that can be played.
I you ever wanted to play Google Music with something else than the Google Music app, that should fit the bill.
Make sure to read the Help section within the app as it contains very important usage info (especially on Android 4.2+) and music player specific initial setup.

Requirements
- a rooted device running Android 4.0+ on ARM CPU. Root is necessary for mounting the filesystem
- A kernel supporting FUSE filesystems (should be the case of all 4.0+ kernel)
- SuperSU or Superuser
- Some music uploaded to the Google Music service
- A compatible third party music player. Tested working with Poweramp, Winamp, PlayerPro, n7player. Should work with most players using the Android MediaPlayer API or ffmpeg. Doesn't work with Deadbeef and XenoAmp.
Recording a log file
Here's how to setup logging, to troubleshoot issues.
Do not post log files on the forum or on the web as they contain your Google account name.
- start GMusicFS
- in the Settings tab, enable Logging (select "App" as the logging mode, unless being instructed otherwise), then click the "Exit" button to exit the app
- restart the app and operate the app until the error appear
- exit the app
- send me (bubbleguuum at free.fr) the log file located on your SD Card as file Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.gmusicfs/logs/log.txt
