I was frustrated for a while with Google Music app on Android (my Galaxy Nexus). Somehow it does NOT show any music on my Google Music cloud drive. Eventually I found out the reason after reading the help file online:I need to leave the Sync on, and make sure that Google Music is one of the item that got synced. It only syncs the music metadata, so it shouldn't harm too much on the bandwidth.
Also I found out that most music on Andorid honor the .nomusic file/folder system: if a folder contains a file or folder with the name ".nomusic", then music or photo apps will skip that folder. This is useful if you have media that you don't want to show up on music apps, like HKReporter mp3s or audiobooks.
The odd thing, though, is that it seems to take a while for the system the pick it up. I even tried rebooting the device and that doesn't speed up the process. But if I have patient, wait for a while, eventually I found out that Winamp and Google Music picked up. In fact I just saw the HKReporter podcast folder (located inside Download) on Google Music suddenly disappear.
