Hey Guys -
Here's a link to my first app published in the Play Store. Looking for feedback, as well requests for supported music applications.

I have Google Play Music All Access and a premium Slacker Radio Account.
This happens whether I default Google Now to Google Music or Slacker
When I request it to play a song using "Ok Google Now" it shuffles the artists album rather than playing the specific song. It does this in Google Play music as well as Slacker depending on which I set the Google now Default to.
Examples:
I say "Play Rolling the Deep" and it will launch Google Now and say "Playing Rolling in the Deep by Adele" then google music will launch and it will just shuffle her album rather than playing the song.
or
Same thing happened when I tested "Sympathy for the Devil" it just played a random Rolling Stones Song, even though google now said "Playing Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones"
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is one of the reasons I wanted the touchless controls of this phone!
Moto support had me reboot into recovery and clear the cache. That fixed it.
Hi all,
I have not been able to find any way to control the Google Music or any other application from the watch. I was expecting not being able only to launch the music application from it, but also to control the volume or to switch the song.
I have found in Google Play Store applications like this (trial and then allow you to purchase the license):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.barkside.music
If there is no native way to do this, i really cannot understand as i see this one of the most logical applications to use from the watch.
Cheers.
You can play, pause, skip forward and back tracks with the Google Play Music app and Android Wear directly.
When playing music it should automatically display on the watch.
If not, check and make sure you haven't muted the app.
Music Boss works for most players.

I haven't muted the application. The strange thing is that just in the moment i hit the play button from the phone (Sony Xperia Z3 with Android KitKat 4.4.4) the notification for the music appears, but hides immediately. Maybe its an issue from my phone.
Thank you very much for the quick answer .

Thank you, i will try to continue searching the reason why the Google Music default notification disappears immediately, but if not, i may try Music Boss.

I'm trying to determine the benefit of Music Boss. I have used it with the 3 main audio apps I tend to use, all of which notify to my watch (TuneIn Pro, Sirius, and Google Play Music). They are set up in Music Boss as well. So when any of them are playing, I have two different cards - one for the app itself and one for Music Boss. I can't seem to see how Music Boss gives offers anything beyond the separate apps, other than a common interface. Can anyone with more experience using this app tell me what i'm missing? Thanks!
same here, I found that android wear supports quite a few music apps out-of-the-box.
like vanilla music - they havent released a wear-related update afaik, but when I play music with the app it shows up as a card on my phone with play-pause and I can swipe into a next-previous-vol up-vol down screen
Sony Walkman, Google Music and Spotify works on my watch. No need for Music Boss or anything. Phone is Z2.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I finally found the problem. Sony Xperia has a free application called SmartKey:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.extras.liveware.extension.smartkey
With this application it is possible to assign extra functions to the button to answer calls in the headphones.
Anyway, this application was interfering with the SmartWatch option to show the controls in the watch graphic interface. Removing it or disabling it solves the problem.
Thank you very much for the help .
Hey!
tl;dr: Do you feel that the Spotify "Genre Stations" song selection is better than Google Play Music "Radio Stations"?
I've cancelled my Spotify subscription and signed for the Play Music All access. I really like google and its products, also the Play Music app is well integrated within' Android, so it only made everything seamless and better!
I can manually find any music I wish, even local styles such as the brazilian Pagode or Forró, just like I could on Spotify, so that's not much of a problem. The thing is when I play the recommended songs/radio stations from Play Music... they all suck big time. Like, they don't get one single song right.
Also, Spotify had better local songs playlists (which I guess were selected by the brazilian Spotify team or something) and I could select a station based on a genre and enjoy at least one hour of awesome music selection, while on Play Music, I can only find playlists made by other people, which is pretty much a hit and miss, where some are pretty cool while others doesn't do it very well.
Spotify I could select a genre station, say Pop, and it would always play the BEST (at least for me). I discovered a lot of songs that way, many parties I've been and played these stations, people really enjoyed the songs, overall awesome experience
While on Google Play Music, I went through a full work day listening to those "radios" and I didn't enjoy a single music. At parties, people phase out my phone to play songs on theirs (sometimes on Spotify), so my experience on those "stations" are terrible.
Does anyone feel the same way? Am I missing something? I'm pressing the "like" button on the songs I like, but it still doesn't recommend me good songs, so I've been playing the very same playlist for a while -- which were the songs I've listened on Spotify, plus a few others I found on friend's Spotify playlists. I'm tempted to move on to Spotify, but I really like Google Play Music.

I've been a subscriber to both services, I'm currently only Subscribed with Google Play Music.
They both have pros and cons over eachother.
I preferred Spotify for:
-Social features
-Radios
-Likability. (It feels.. new, and smart, and updated.)
I prefer Google Music Overall:
-Google owns it
-It's getting better... fast
-IT"S SO MUCH BETTER WITH PERSONALLY UPLOADED MUSIC (Big reason I prefer Google Music)
-Google has started to integrate Songify "time of day" radios.
-I believe it's future is brighter than Spotify's with Google being behind it, and owning android. Makes more sense to build up my library there.
Both are great, much of it is personal preference!

Radios were awesome! Google is getting close to it with its own radio stations, but it isn't nowhere near polishes as Spotify.
Social features for me were irrelevant lol but yeah that's a good thing to have.

Gotta confess that I only left Spotify for Play Music because I like Google and it's a Google product.
I thought you could upload your own songs to Spotify?
Indeed future's better for Play Music with a Google team backing it up, but there are things that I don't know how long will it take to be implemented. Some just aren't Google dependant, such as userbase. I guess the most popular music are picked by... Well, an algorithm that detects which song is played more. Currently, the "top N" play list here sucks, with one or two good songs.
While, of course on Spotify, any play list would rock my socks off.
Did they add the time of day playlists? Gotta check that. I really miss the "Flashback Thursday" on Spotify and play lists like that.

Tasker in the car, stop and start "music" from different "music" apps
I know the topic might be strange, but I didn't know what to name this thread.
I got a car with bluetooth, and when my phone is connected I want a lot of stuff to happen.
First, I want it to start playing on Spotify (and maybe start some "car app/launcher"). I've been experimenting a lot, and basically have task that Launches Spotify, light the screen up (otherwise I'm having problem with Spotify not starts on play command), and with Media Control Simulates Play. I also have some well timed wait's.
I also have another task that runs when I got a message, that will read the message for me. Since Spotify not will let the TTS spoken message to be heard for some reason, when using the same "media channel" to play the TTS, I also here got some well timed wait's and lowering in volume, and later a pause of the music, before a temp max rise of the media volume and the message being read. After the TTS voice is finished reading the message on the highest volume the volume is set as I want and a Play with "Media Control Simulates Play" runs.
NOW for my questions.
Sometimes I stops my Spotify for listen to a audio book or some podcasts or something else. I would like my task that stops Spotify (or at least let me here the message) and read the message also to work if I at that moment listens to a podcast.
The stop function isn't a problem for me on some apps (they that silens by default when the TTS voice starts), but for apps that needs the sound to first be stopped are problem for me.
I would like some help to have Tasker stop and start the stream for that app that was playing when the message arrived.
If I'm listen to Spotify my task works, but if I listen to podcast, it stops when the TTS speaks, but after, it will start Spotify since my task runs "Media Control Simulates Play" for Spotify.
I would like that Media Control Play (and stop) to be for that app that at the moment was using the media stream channel on the phone.
Is that something that is possible?

I was surfing through web for several weeks for a thread specially for Google home mini users keeping music lovers in mind. I am a heavy music listener myself originally from India. But I am having a hard time to manage music with Google home mini including Google play music, Saavn , and gaana. I cannot play my playlists or create the same with these providers. I can tell Google " l like this song" and it will respond that I have noted you like this song. But after that I cannot access these lists anywhere. I want to discuss these things with similar users and want to found how they are using their Google home to their advantages.
Thanks
For me, "Add this song to my favorites", and "Play my favorite songs" has worked.
(I'm not sure if it's added songs I've just happened to listen to a lot to the same list, as often asking for a genre will simply play the most popular songs on youtube before I ask it to shuffle, leading to a number of songs that've had countless plays)
