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.

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

Hi everyone.
Im trying to see if anyone can give any suggestions in regards to getting playlists to work properly on my phone. Let me define what I mean by properly.
Right now I can create a playlists in a number of applications on my computer including DoubleTwist, Windows Media Player, and Motorola Media Link. When I transfer those playlists to my phone they show up and play in both the default music player and DoubleTwist. The problem I keep running into is when I try to play a playlist using a voice command a message comes up saying "The Selected playlist is empty" but it really is not. I can go into a music player and play it right away.
The only way I am able to get a playlist to play with a voice command is if I actually create that playlist on the phone while in the default music player. Its somewhat tedious to do that so I would like to be able to make the playlists on my computer then sync them to the phone.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Im not even against using a different voice command app if it will let me play playlists via voice command. This is just an important feature for me when I have my phone docked on the car dock.
I greatly appreciate any help.
Hey guys, I love the feature to long press volume button that is built into AKOP to change tracks however, it does not work with one of the apps I am using called qloud, Qloud basically does the same thing as Google Music (stream music from pc->phone). It has a built in music player and every time I try to use the feature android opens up Google Music and starts playing a song. I think the built in music player is not being recognized as a music player. If I cannot get it to work with that feature I was wondering if there are any apps that could to do the same thing?
Thanks!
It apparently won't work with Google Music or for instance Player Pro (my favorite) either... Should it be working at all?
I use a Kinivo BTC450 bluetooth adapter that allows me to play music (or make phone) calls through my car stereo over BT. It works great. I have three of these...one for each vehicle.
When I get in any of the vehicles and press the big button on the Kinivo, music starts to play automatically through Poweramp. However, once in a while it will try to start playing music through the Amazon mp3 app but the app gives an error and if I press the Kinivo button again, music starts playing through Poweramp.
Now, there isn't a way to set up a default music player (AFAIK) on this phone. I never told Kinivo which app to use. How does it know to use Poweramp? Why doesn't it use the stock music player (which I've used before but don't anymore)? Why does it try to sometimes use the Amazon mp3 app?
I checked under the Application Manager and none of the these apps have anything set under "Launch by default" so I can't clear anything since the "Clear Defaults" button is grayed out.
I do have a small Poweramp widget on my home screen (no lockscreen is in use). Is this what is forcing Poweramp to be the "default". If so, why does Amazon mp3 sometimes try to start?
Thanks.
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
