First off could you make the phone play music through usb port ?
Second, when I'm installing apps from google play store on my pc the apps does not install until I open google play store on the phone and go in my library.
Do you guys have these prob's ?
We lost apx hd codecs for the bluetooth headsets..

Hi there,
It seems that if you bought an android wear device, you need to upload music through the Google Play Music app. But if you live in an area where the Play store does not supply content, then you have no option to upload even your own songs to the watch.
Is there someway to get my own music on to this watch without using Google Play? It's a bit of a stiff penalty for all those users who don't live in a Google Play supported market, and offline music was part of the reason for me getting this watch.
Thanks for any tips.
Ken
Has anyone figured out way to keep purchased songs from google on the device? I have hooked the nexus up to the PC and i cant see my purchased songs, at all. Im using music v5.6.160p.1480807. Has anyone else ran into this issue? I downloaded the music to the phone but i cant move it to my pc.. or other media devices.
Google Play Music stores downloaded music in cache which can't be accessed without root and is pretty well buried. Plus the mp3 files are named with random characters.
You would actually want to download Google Music Manager to your PC - just search for it and Google will give it to you in the first result. It's a PC syncing application that runs in the background to sync your music. Open it by the Windows system try and go to settings, there's an option to download purchased music.
Or you can go to music.google.com and download the songs from there.

Thanks I'll give that a try. This seems a little different from the old method of just DL to the phone and browse to the directory and get the songs out of the cahce to add them to the ext SD card.
Download play music exporter , just google and install the apk. It needs root and you can save cached songs to your phone without need of PC

I have no way of testing anything like this but what came to mind while reading your post was this:
Uninstall Spotify
Disable Google Play Music
Reboot
Download Spotify apk from apkmirror.com
Copy name of Spotify apk without ".apk"
In /system/app/ (same location as Play Music) create folder with the name you copied
Copy Spotify apk into that new folder
Change folder permissions to 0755
Change apk permissions to 0644
Reboot

Why would sideloading spotify help in this situation? It wont.
@leekene, are you running a stock rom or custom? Also try going to settings>apps and goto google play music and push the "clear defaults" button and see if that helps.
cheers guys i tried that before with the clear defaults. i think the issue is google play is the default music player, where spotify is just an App on a phone that allows streaming. so when the car requests music it will request the music player which is understandable but in my mind there must be something i can do to boot spotify instead.

/system/app/ instead of /data/app/.
Get an NFC tag and write it so when you get in your car, just tap the tag and have the bluetooth connect to the car and then open Spotify.
This is how I have it set up in my car (08 GTI) with Pandora.
Or, use Tasker and build a profile that will do it by voice commands via Autovoice.
I use an app by Sony called smart connect, it will auto open/play any app or tracks based on Bluetooth device connection or aux connection. Ex. I turn on my work Truck, it will connect to the Bluetooth stereo open Google music and play the last track. Plug in headphones and it will open Netflix for me (only reason I would use headphones personally). It also allows time triggers as well.

disable play music, use poweramp. bluetooth settings in poweramp has an option to auto play music upon bluetooth connection
Configuration:
- 2017 Audi A4
- Google Pixel 2, direct from Google, latest February security update (8.1), rooted
Usually, I Just use Spotify as my Android auto music app. Since Google Play Music is part of the Android Auto suite of apps, and because I don't use it, I simply just freeze it in titanium backup to disable it. So until recently, I could use Google voice search in my car to search a song, and it'd do it in Spotify.
Somewhat recently, I had tried an app called YouTube Music. I uninstalled it and didn't like it. Ever since then, I have completely wiped my phone clean to get the latest Feb update. However, there's some profile somewhere that remembers that I had used YouTube Music. Now, whenever I search for music, I must use the words "in spotify" since the default music search now gives me this voice message:
"YouTube music player isn't installed..."
How can I remove any memory of having had used said program? Also, have any of you managed to change the default music player to Spotify without having to "freeze" google play music? Something changed in Android 8.x I feel (maybe sooner). Going into Settings-->Apps, the option to change an app for default is greyed out.
It was actually just a coincidence. I had never installed YouTube music, and I got the exact same error. Go into the main google app, then select settings. Then choose settings under google assistant. Under services, select music. Make sure that spotify is linked, it will be under "more music services" if it is not. Once spotify appears under "your music services" select it to make it the default. You should be good to go!
Hi Guys
I currently have most of my own mp3s uploaded to google play music (not subscribed) which works very well, but obviously when google goes to youtube music i will not be able to play my own music unless i subscribe (to which i currently subscribe to spotify at the moment)
I also have all my music stored on a local media pc to which i have jriver running and i can use the app from my phone to send music to all my google home / minis
Is there a way i can get google to play my music from my local media pc using voice control from the google home as once google music goes i will lose the ability to play from google music as you have to subscribe to youtube music
