The other day I was trying to listen to music while my hands were full and Google Play Music would periodically stop. I understand that by default the 6T has all apps set to battery optimize, and I have successfully regained my Hangouts notifications by changing the setting for that app. However, when I look at the list of apps in the battery settings I don't see Music, Play Music, or Google Play Music, so I can't change it. Does anyone have a work around?
I'm not rooted but I did unlock the bootloader so I can do that if I need to.
Thanks!

I have found that in xbox music, if you pause a track, then while paused go into WhatsApp, then try to resume the track you paused in music, for some reason this takes you back to WhatsApp.
You can open up WhatsApp OK while you have music playing, only happens when it is paused, then you lose your place in the song/album/playlist/whatever.
Is this happening for anyone else? (not sure if it happens with videos, only ever play music)
This is not a Bug with XBox Music but due to the fact that WhatsApp is misusing the Music Streaming APIs to keep Wifi enabled in Standby. WhatsApp starts a fake background Music stream to make WP8 keep the connection alive and given that it doesn't make a lot of sense to have two music streams at once WhatsApp gets inserted into the player dropdown (replacing XBox Music).
If you want that fixed contact WhatsApp and get them to at least make that "feature" configurable.

Thanks, that makes sense.
Given that WhatsApp doesn't really work all that well anyway (I get notifications appear, but open the app to find nothing new. Close, then re-open and it loads. The refreshing of the message string isn't great) I am thinking of uninstalling it and getting people to use email instead
I recently upgraded to the newest version of Google Play Music for the All Access feature, but I've found that the app is having trouble playing music that I have on my phone, whether it is cached from the app or added manually.
The first song of an album or playlist will play, but the app displays a "Music playback error : Couldn't play the track you requested" whenever the app tries to move to the next track. This doesn't happen to streaming music strangely, only music I've cached or loaded from my computer.
Is anyone else having this issue? Let me know if you're able to reproduce this or not. I've tried re-installing the app, clearing the cached music and data, all to no avail.
I really want to love this app with its new layout, but not being able to properly play back local music is a huge issue.
BTW my phone is rooted, not sure if that's going to be an issue or not.
Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Unless you pin music, eventually old music gets deleted even when there's ton of space on the phone.
If you have the actual files just download them to your phone and they will always be there.
Otherwise:
1. There is an option if you go into google play music settings to auto-download music
2. If you go into the music library, click on a playlist and you'll see a download icon in between the album covers and the actual song list
Hi Guys
I'm going insane figuring out how to switch between 2 open apps quickly. Let me give you an example: I run with my watch and I like listening to music from the watch during the run. This means I have 2 apps open: Runtastic (to register the workout) and Google play music (to stream music to headsets). Normally I keep Runtastic in foreground so I can see the stats of my workout at any time and Google music is running in backgroud. Sometimes, though, I'd like to e.g. skip a song and in order to achieve that I have to go to homescreen, display app drawer on the watch and browse for Google play music. After that I have to go the same steps in reverse to get Runtastic back to foreground. Is there really no easier way? Maybe there's app for it?

Try Gesture Launcher maybe?

Good tip, thanks. I've given it a try already and looks promising. Can't believe google haven't taken care of similar native feature.
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
