If i use my Headset with button to start/stop Music and accept a call i have the following problem:
if i use the default music app and stop/start the music, the google play music player opens. The same problem do i have in the car with bluetooth adio: sometimes the google play music app opens and disturbs the default music app.
I tried to clear all defaults in the google play music app but that doesn´t help.
Can someone help me?
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.
When I stream an audio file on my Note 5, it plays in the Google Play Music app that came with the phone. If I click off of the app as it plays the file, the audio stops playing altogether and the app basically closes. I have to restart the stream and then find the point that it stopped to resume. So, I cannot do anything on the phone with the audio playing the background it seems. I believe this happens if I play a video via the stock video player app as well. Is there a way where I can play such files in the background while I surf the 'net or do other tasks on my phone? Is there an app that might accomplish this on Android??? TIA.

How do I do this? When I click on any audio file on the Note 5, it only gives me the option of playing it (streaming it) with the Google Play Music app or downloading it. If I download it, I can still only open it and play it with the Google Play Music app. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Go to Settings > Application manager > More > More > Reset Apps preference > check ok. Now you can choose to play files over gplay music, stock music player ot 3rh party apps

Great! I did that and it does now give me the option of playing via Google Play Music app or the stock music player. However, I still cannot do anything else on the phone without the audio file pausing and/or stopping the playing of the audio file. For example, I just downloaded a podcast file onto my phone, opened it and told it to play it with the stock music player app. It will sit there and play the entire hour-long podcast just fine. But, if I need to go check a text message I received or look at something on the Internet, the stock music player stops playing the audio file (pauses playback of it) until I finish checking the text message or complete the Internet task and go back to the stock music player and click on the "play" button. I would prefer that it keeps playing the audio file when I minimize it to go check text messages or e-mails or do something on the Internet. Or is there maybe a 3rd party app that will do this??? Thanks for your help!

It appears that you use "my files" to play your music..you have been using the pop up music player and thus it will stop when you exit. Try to play music via the music app, search your music in the app itself and not from your downloaded files. Once you are in the stock music app,go to tracks and all your downloaded music will appear

Don't ask me why I didn't think of trying this before, but I didn't. I just opened the stock music player and went to tracks (just ask you described), the podcast files were there. I clicked on the one I was listening to last night and proceeded to check my text messages and e-mail and the audio kept playing in the background. Thanks for mentioning this! Really appreciate it! :good: :good: :good:
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?

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
