Google music doesn't play while streaming - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm on the new Wolfbreakversion and I installed the Google Music App.
It connects with my Google Account and I can choose my songs but if I want to start one the app starts to stream but it isn't playing. First when the download is complete it is playing.
What is my mistake? Or is it a ROM problem?
Hopefully you can help me.

[Q] S-Voice and Music Control

Hey guys, I posted this in another forum, but never had any responses. I've also searched this site quickly and didn't see anything regarding this.
How well does S-Voice control music? I always play my music through bluetooth in my truck and I think it would be great to be able to change songs through voice commands. I've seen videos showing that S-Voice can start playing music, but none showing that it could actually play a specific song on request, (i.e. play *insert song here*). If S-Voice is not currently capable of doing this, would rooting the phone accomplish this with certain mods? I have never rooted a phone and I am looking forward to taking the dive with the GSIII.
And finally, when using S-Voice to play songs, will it only play through the stock music player, or could you play songs through Google Music?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help!
Hi there I assume if you make a third party music the default it would play from there but maybe not as then it wouldn't have the integration, I could test it if you like. And as far as music control goes its very good you can do loads of commands such as:
play
pause
stop
skip
then more advance commands like
play > alex claire too close
play > playlist bike songs
That is awesome... I do hope there is a way to make Google Music the default player as I much prefer streaming my music as opposed to taking up storage space on the phone.
Well I downloaded PlayerPro as I can't get Google music in the U.K (not legal anyway
) and I made it the default music player. Unfortunately even after doing this S-Voice will still open the song in the default Samsung music player.

[Q] Google Play music downloads songs ahead of time

Hi, I don't live in the US but managed to installed the the google play music app oficially from the play store since is available to download in my country (Honduras), then i used a proxy to download the music manager.
Everything is working fine except that the app is eating data like crazy i just listened to a song that is about 9MB and the app consumed nearly 40MB of data, I've noticed that the app pre download about 3 or 4 songs ahead of the one that i'm listening to that's why it uses so much data even when i'm not making the songs available for offline play. Also i noticed that when is not an entire album this doesn't happen.
¿Is there anything i can do to make it just stream the song that i want and not start buffering the next song in the album ahead of time?
Thanks.

[Q] Google Now help

Can I change the media player that Google Now opens when I say to play music? I really don't want for it to automatically use Google Music.

Help for Play Music

I'm not sure where to post this, but i'm having a weird issue with play music
i have all my songs uploaded to play music. i listen to them using my laptop browser and ipad play music app
All my songs are also present on my phone's storage,
when i use the play music app on my android phone, music that are liked,deleted, or added to a play list doesnt appear on my cloud, it doesnt sync to the ipad or my laptop browser. (i'm not a noob, i obviously enabled sync for play music)
i'm thinking this happens because android play music app confuse the duplicate music that exist in my phone and in the cloud.
I need to keep my music in the phones local storage because i dont have fast internet access on mobile data.
How can i make google play music android app to display ONLY online content?
currently the only option is "all music" and "on device"

Play music or YouTube music?

Hi! So I recently got Youtube music and merged my library of purchased songs from Play music with YouTube music. However if I now have Youtube music can I I disable Google Play Music safely? Will that affect my purchased music or anything else on the phone? Also if it is safe(is it?) and I go ahead and disable it if I purchase a new song from the Play Store will it automatically go to Youtube Music?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Youtube music doesn't work with Per-song Payments, it's more like spotify with a monthly subscription that let you listen/download every songs you want.
Idk if you'll still be able to buy music from google play after Google play music shut down tho, but yes it's safe to "disable" Google play music after having fully transferred your purchased songs to YT music.
Ok thanks ! I hope Google doesn't kill their store for music it's a really good alternative for when something isn't on Apple Music and iTunes for some reason. Otherwise I use Apple Music.
