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

Short and sweet, but someone had mentioned a mix of 4.4.2 OTA and GPM's update fixed being able to play music via Touchless Control. I'm on 4.4 (not 4.4.2) VZW and can confirm that Touchless Control now will play any song in your phone. Give it a shot and let us here at XDA know if the same is present for you all cheers!
You can only play the songs if you bought them through Google play right? I never bought any songs from Google play, I just uploaded my collection into google music. Whenever I use touchless control to play music, Google search just takes me to google play, it never opens the music app
Nope, I have Ariana Grande's CD ripped myself and it's stored on my "sdcard" not the cloud.
EDIT: I do have music through GPM's store, and those worked fine pre-update, but now music that I've copied to the internal memory works, so it seems to have been fixed for all media that GPM sees.

Don't know if you were referring to my post in the 4.4.2 thread, but I am experiencing the same with touchless controls playing music. Most of my music is ripped and stored on the phone as well, and it pretty much plays anything I say using the phrase, example "play The Beatles". Since you don't have 4.4.2 like I do I assume the update to GPM fixed it. Thanks for posting.
I think it only works in the US.

When I say "Okay Google Now, play The Script" (or any music) it verifies it's going to play it, goes into the GPM and then it just pops up a keyboard and the song file, as if I had searched for it via GPM and not Google Now and doesn't start playing it automatically. I have Google Now set to start playing GPM as my player of choice, but it just acts like I was looking for it and doesn't actually play it.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Mine does the same thing with the keyboard, (don't understand what the deal is with the keyboard) but it plays a song. Are you sure your not set to pause? Have you tried setting GPM as your default player again?
You know, it really depends on what mood my phone is in, I told it to play "What's My Name" by Rihanna and it played it, but if I tell it some songs, it will search it and say "Couldn't start instant mix" and won't play, despite it showing in the search results. I think it's still hit or miss, but saying an artist (providing Google can pick apart the artist's name) it will play them. Work in progress for Touchless Control (Actually this is a Google Now thing) but once they find more bugs, GPM will get updated and actually use the API's correctly. As far as I know, this is US only until they open it to more regions.

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.
Hi when asking the watch assistant to play a song on Spotify it will just do a web search. Asking it to play a song will open play music even though Spotify is set to default. Spotify works by default on my phone and home but the watch just doesn't want to know. Any way to fix this so annoying
Hi All!
Finally bought my first smartwatch (Fossil Gen 5) and now trying to put some music on it, because I like to listen music during my running workout.
The most articles and youtube video's are telling to do it using Google Play Music. I put an album on my mobile, it's recognized by Google Play Music but it won't sync with my Fossil.
Checked the settings, but can't find anything what had to do with syncing. I also seem to mis the option "smartwatch" in my Google Play Music app on my mobile.
Does anyone know what I do wrong? Or can help me?
Many thanks in advance!
