How to Manually Update Your Android Market with Music

If you still haven’t received the updated Android Market with music look no further.  You can download and install an apk (just like any other app) and get the update.

Another notable new feature (other than the addition of music) is pin locking.  Users are now able to set and require a PIN to be entered before apps can be purchased from the market.

You don’t have to be rooted to install the update, but if you are rooted you should back up your current Market.

  1. Download the APK here!
  2. Enable installation of non-market applications (Settings -> Applications -> Check Unknown Sources)
  3. Open the downloaded file on your phone
  4. Follow the on screen install instructions
  5. Enjoy!

If you already have market version 3.3.11, some users have reported the following steps work to force the market to update.

  1. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
  2. Select All Tab -> Market
  3. Clear data and cache
  4. Open Android Market App
  5. Enjoy!
