I'm running the new Voice Search app from google but I can't seem to get to play any music when i say "Listen to" [Artist] and play music from the default music player. it says i need to get a music player from the marketplace. when i have Last.FM installed, it picked that up as the default player and searches and plays through that.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Found my answer. looks like it only works w/ online music apps like last.fm, pandora etc.
Sucks that it doesn't work with a local player, but it is great with lastfm

Has anyone figured out a way to play externally downloaded podcasts (mp3s) using Google's "Listen" app?
(In other words, use Listen to play something that was not downloaded by the app)
I would love to know this too - if I download an mp3 of a podcast which is no longer hosted online can I somehow add it to the Listen app and listen to it through that or do I have to add it to the Music app?
I asked on the Google forums and it looks like it's impossible
The files have hidden information embedded or something so that Listen will pick it up.
Has anyone been able to get last.fm to scrobble from the Default xoom music player.
I find I have to use songbird (which is nice but not as clean looking) to get this to work properly.
Also seems to work fine with Spotify once you input your login details into it (you didn't need to with songbird)...
so when i play the music that i just have put in to my google music, it doesnt play it just skips all the song and says something like We couldnt play this song in english... i've tried to search for solutions and havent found any thanks in advance

oh yeah and i have aurora 2.0.7
the easiest solution is to use another player. I use PlayerPro, IMO it's way better than Google Play Music.
i'm streaming my music trough google music
Hi. I noticed I get a music player card on the watchface when playing music (native android music player), but I still have to initiate from phone. I tried a plethora of voice commands, but only succeded in opening up obscure youtube flix or google searches.
Is there a command i missed, is there a widget, do I need to use google music?
Thx in advance
I think it depends on what music player you are using. Spotify works using the "Ok Google". I use Tasker + Autowear for quick access to music players, apps, etc. If Google Now doesn't recognize your voice well, you can try to train it or try the non-voice options.
So which are the non voice options? I'd rather go with them tbh. I use native android music player.
I went and got tasker + wear tasker. Not altogether happy with the latter, but it works.
If I ask my phone to play some music, say "OK Moto X play some Marillion" it does a Google search then plays a random MP3 file in my Music folder using Google Play Music.
OK, very smart, but I have and prefer Shuttle music player.
So how do I get Shuttle to be the default MP3 player in this situation?
In a file explorer I have set Shuttle as the default app for MP3 files but when using Moto Voice it still starts up Google Play Music.

I believe google play music is the only player that Google search will use. I use to use poweramp and never had luck with that.

Solved it.
When Google search comes up and starts playing the music, showing the Google Play Music icon top right, there is a hamburger you can select and then choose the music app of choice.
Simple when you know how but not very intuitive. Would have been nice to have been asked the first time.
Spoke too soon. The above isn't a permanent change as far as I can see. Next time I tried asking for music it reverted to Google Play Music again.
