Assistant not working with spotify - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Voice Actions via Voice Search - unable to play music from default player.

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

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.

Start music player from watch

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.

Make Shuttle default MP3 app when using Moto Voice

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.

Google music song seek problem

I am not being able to seek through songs eg. start them from the middle etc, in my Google play music app.
ps: I am a subscribed user of the play music app and whenever i try to seek, it just starts the song from the beginning.
There is no problem with the internet since my roommates are using the same wifi and their app works just fine!
