What I am trying to do is use either 'Get Voice' or 'AutoVoice' to start my podcasts or music app. When I connect to my car's bluetooth I want to be able to say either Podcasts or Music and depending on which I say it plays my podcast app or music app.

is there any app that plays MMS:// streams??
i want to listen to this online radio, but haven't found any app that plays this type of stream.
Hey guys
I was wondering if it is possible to listen to music that is downloaded directly from your phone and isn't just transfered from your PC?
It seems like if I download any music from my phone browser I can't listen to that music later as it says 'unable to play this type of audio file'.mp3).
Any programs to open it or android converters?
thanks in advance
Seems strange.
I've downloaded an album from the phone and i can listen it.
And, if the file is mp3, phone will play it.
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?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
Have an always-visible icon on my Android Wear watch which will skip to the next track if Google Play Music is currently playing or skip forward 10 seconds it Pocket Casts is playing.
I'm all set with the icon using AutoWear and I have profiles for NextTrack and SkipForward (using PocketCast intents). It works fine if I'm playing music - it skips to the next track. However if I'm playing a podcast (Pocket Cast) it stops playback and starts playing music through Play Music.
I can't figure out how to differentiate between which app (Play Music vs Pocket Cast) is currently in control. Now, the wheel controls in my car do this exactly - if I press up while playing a song it goes to the next song, but if I'm playing a podcast it shuffles forward 30 seconds.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I mostly listen to music with Android Auto via Spotify, but lately Amazon Music has been pushing its way in. For example, while I'm playing a song from Spotify, it suddenly stops playing it, and when I look at it, Amazon music is active instead of spotify. How can I prevent this? Thanks,
jennix
you could try switchining, use musconv if you do, I used it yesterday to move from spotify to amazon music so I guess it should work the other way around
