Google still doesn't support basic voice actions like "next song", "skip", "pause" or "stop the music". If you say "next song", Google only shows the search results and a list of songs from Next, an American R&B musical group.
You can say "play Alicia Keys" and Google will shuffle Alicia's songs:
You can also say "play blues" and Google will start the Blues radio. If you say "play hip hop", Google Play Music will show a list of search results for "hip hop".
That's what happens if Play Music is the default app that handles music voice actions. You can change it by saying "play Coldplay" or something similar, quickly tapping the icon next to the app's name, picking one of the music apps and tapping the selected app (I could choose between Google Play, Google Play Music, TuneIn Radio and Poweramp, but your list will be different, depending on the apps you've installed). The next time when you use a music-related voice action, the app you've picked will handle it. Most apps will show a list of search results or start playing music.

ReplyDeleteIn lollipop there does not seem to be this option anymore to choose another music app. I want to use GMMP to be my default music player using google now voice commands but there doesnt seem to be anywhere to select it. I have 'frozen' Play Music and Google Now then asks which application tu use, and only Play Store and YouTube are shown, no other option to select a 3rd play player???? Am i missing something? I cant find anything on the net in regard to this.
Crap. I was hoping that I was Muang something. The first time I tried having Google now play music it offered all of my music apps. I was giddy. Note I am sad.

ReplyDeleteIf you disconnect from the internet, it only plays your music. It also seems to only play your music even after you've connected back to the internet. Hope that helps someone.
ReplyDeleteHow do you resume a current playlist?
