If you encounter issues with music not showing up, remember that the Android system can be slow to update its music database. You can use the "Scan" menu in "Ringtone Maker" to force an update. Additionally, Google Play Music files may not be accessible directly due to their hidden nature; however, you can download them via the Chrome browser by selecting the desktop site, choosing your song, and downloading it to your device for use with Ringtone Maker.
