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.

[Q] Is there a way to control music player from the watch ?

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.

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 .

Amount of songs in music player is limited

Hey,
Lately I've downloaded some new songs to my Galaxy Note 5 and I noticed that some of my songs don't appear in the music player (Samsung's music player).
When I double checked, it's seems that the music player can contain up to 600 songs only.
I tried to download some other music players (DoubleTwist, Black Player), but it didn't fix it.
I asked my friend, who's own Galaxy Note 4, and he said that he's not familier with this kind of problem. In fact, he showed me that his Note 4's music player is containing up to 2500 songs.
I checked the songs' format and it's all mp3 (I can play them through "My Document" with no problem at all).
What else can be the problem? Is there any chance that my Galaxy is limited with the amount of songs he can play through music players?
Maybe is there a problem with the last software update?
Thanks a lot for you help.

Use an app to re-scan your media. I have over 1323 tracks without any problem.

What app do you recommand?

Music Player (Pixel Experience)

Hello!
Hey guys I have a question, I noticed that pixel experience rom doesn't have a music app player incorporated so what app should you recommend me?
Obviously I have a Motorola G5S Plus

Google Play Music. It's available on Playstore.

For any music you've saved on storage, I recommend BlackPlayer. For streaming online if would be Google Play Music.

Google Play Music. You can both stream online and listen your personal collection in that. And there is an option to upload a max of 50000 songs into cloud of your account so that you can stream it for free. Even without subscription.

For local music, just go for Retro Music Player

Pi Music Player I recommend... Best Look and utility...

Try musicolet app
Available in playstore

Poweramp is my favorite music player since 2 years ago...

I found Retro Music in AEX ROM, and I'm quite a fan of it now.
No bloat, minimal yet modern and feature rich.
