I have the Gear and SN3. I want to be jogging and advance the next Pandora song from the Gear if possible...
I downloaded Media Remote
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appshroom.mediaremote
But this just does as the media controller on the device and does not advance Pandora...
Anyone able to do this?

I have not tried it with Pandora, but when I play Google Play Music on my Note 3 and use Media Controller on my Gear it allows me to skip tracks. Also I used Media Controller with Doggcatcher on my Note 3. The trick for me was to load those up on the phone first and then Media Controller seems to use whatever the active app is. Not sure if it would work with Pandora but I'm guessing it would be the same.
I just tried the Pandora app with the Media controller and it works just fine.

Well I did but accidentally and dont know the combination yet how I did it. So if I have Pandora open and then open MC on Gear when I hit forward it opens my default app "Player Pro" and pauses Pandora...
Somehow I end up with PlayPro showing paused in notification area and now Pandora advances... How dont know how I got there...

To be honest I haven't really messed around with Google music to know its capabilities, but maybe some has a straight answer for me.
My friend has apple TV and I am trying to see if I can do the same with Google music and chromecast.
I have a ton of music on my PC which is connected to the same network as my chromecast and my phone (when on WiFi). Is there a way from Google music I can access the music locally from my PC and play it on the device that my chromcast us plugged in to?
I do not want to have to upload all my music to the cloud for this to work. I just want to play it locally.

I don't believe there is a way to do that with Chromecast. However, if you have a smart TV there are other ways to link your PC to your TV over your Wifi connection.
But may I ask, why you wouldn't just upload your music? Sure it's a pain the ONE time you have to do it, but after that it's all gravy
B/c it seems like a pain. Lol, I guess maybe its worth doing. What's the limit on Google music?

Hopfully Chromecast will one day allow casting of locally stored media.
Until then you can cast music from your PC via Chrome browser.

I uploaded my music collection a long time ago. Google music is awesome because I can access my music from anywhere. If you are worried about not having internet access just hit the button that stores the music on your device. Download enough songs to hold you over until your back to internet service.
When I download new music on my computer, its instantly uploaded and available on my devices and I don't need a massive amount of storage on my device.
Google music works flawlessly with chromecast as well. Now I can sit outside on my patio and run the music from my phone.
And yes if I want to play something local through chromecast I just stream it through a chrome tab.

How do you do this from a PC. The only way seems to be to cast the Google Music tab..
First, sorry for my english...
Using Media Controller to listen to music, I'm looking for a way for the change of song (next song, previous, pause...), a notification will be sent to the gear and it shows multimedia control to let use media controlls.
I tried with music popup app that show a notification on the screen of the pone instead the phone is with the screen off and combination with ATN Manager (the application of our colleague sepiroth887 enable it to send notifications to the gear) but does not work.
Anybody thinks of a way to do it?
Thanks

Well, more than music popup works on the Gear, I was thinking in use the popup to create a rule with tasker o automatelt for every time there is a new song, the popup actÃvate the media controller on gear.
With music popup app on the gear (if it works, I'll try), only have info song, but no media controllers.
Thanks for your reply!!
When listening to music (I've tried several apps) in the car using A2DP and getting turn by turn navigation I have an issue with the muting. It only happens when using bluetooth. The map app mutes the music when needed but I get no sound (directions) for about 3 seconds. I may hear the very end of the directions or not, depends on how long it takes. It seems Google Map knows to mute the music but that is also mutes the map app for a while.
This worked perfectly on my S2. This is a bone stock SM-900A
Ideas?
I have the same issue. Using the stock music player, switch to the Google player and all is good.

Tried that, didn't help me. Nor did PowerAmp or Rocket music players.
ATT update this morning, hopefully that made a difference. I'l re-install the Google Player.
I want to control Google Music with my galaxy gear. I have stock Galaxy S4 and stock Galaxy Gear.

Yes, just open the app and use the media controls.
From what I've found, whatever music player is currently running on your device at the time, the media controls on the Gear will control it,

Can agree with the above, have used MX player, Spotify, Google music and now stock samsung player. All works good.
You can even control YouTube and other video players

This. Can confirm.
Not for me. Just tried it on Google Music and it turned on the stock music player and started playing from the first song in my files.

Same experience here.
It works when the player is actually playing something. If you pause then when you unpause it will use whatever default player you have, but it will work as long as you don't stop playing. Switching songs will work tho

You have to make sure that the player you want to control is the only one active on your device. If you just listened to Google All Access and want to control Poweramp, make sure All Access is closed all the way.

I only use google. Never used any of the other players.
Not anymore
I used to be able to control Google Play Music from the media controller however, after a firmware update at the end of Jan it no longer works. If I try to skip track it opens the Samsung music player and starts playing that. Annoying as this was one of the functions I really wanted, skip tracks whilst walking without having to dig your device out.
Just realized that with stock music controls that works for play music, doesn't work for Pandora. I can pause music but not change songs. Anyone know of a app that will allow this?
Edit: I'm actually thinking I can't change songs because I'm out of skips. Hopefully that's all it is.
