I've searched and can't find anything, but I need to find a way to stop the stock music player from playing when my phone connects to my car's BT. I use Google play music and want that one to auto start, but every freaking time I start my car, the Samsung player starts that dumb preloaded song.
Honestly, I don't care if I can't get play music to autostart, I just want the Samsung one to stop. And yes, I've tried disabling the app, but it can't be, at least non-rooted. So, any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Is Google Play Music set as the default music player? I haven't rooted my phone or anything, it's completely stock and just by setting Google Play Music to the default on Day 1 of getting this phone (April 8th) it always auto starts when I connect via Bluetooth.

I never got the option to set it as default and I didn't see anything about it in application manager. Any idea where to find it?
OK, figured it out in a round about way. I had to open a .mp3 in Samsung's file explorer and then it asked me for the default. So let's see if it works.
@Hendrycks
Thanks! It worked.
That didnt work for me. Upon linking to BT in my car, the stock Samsung player still auto starts. I have tried setting play music as default, I have set Player Pro as default. it still auto launches the stock crappy Samsung player app. Ideally I dont want it to auto launch any app. I use Pandora alot in my car and since it auto launches the samsung app, that means my car stereo does not display the track info for the playing song in Pandora on the screen.
Sooo annoyed
I have the same exact issue and it is driving me crazy. I have tried everything in the phone and settings and there is nothing. I have downloaded both Connect and Play, and Smart Connect as bluetooth connectors but the stupid factory music beats it to the punch every time. Nothing works! I am about to chuck my phone. Someone please help!
me too
Does anyone have another suggestion? This happens to me if I even "pause" my podcast player too long. Truely annoying.
I am going to try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
So far, with the UI, it does look like it has the right settings/options.
Sorry to bump this but came across this while trying to sort this very same issue. I'v found an app called Package Disabler Pro in the Play Store . The best thing is that it works without root.. It isn't free but I thinks if you been looking for something thats solves this issue its worth it. It worked for me so hope it works for you. And if you try it quick enough you can get a refund if it don't work
Download Trigger, I have mine set so when it connects to bluetooth it launches Google music but you can choose anything you want or nothing at all!

I have the same problem. I installed Trigger, but it didn't work. What task did you add?
The best I came up with was denying access to storage in the application's settings. Now it just prompts me to give it permission when I connect to bluetooth. At least that horrid song doesn't play anymore.
Have you tried Tasker ? Had same problem myself on S6 Edge, but after a little fiddling with Tasker. The default "music" closes, tunein radio is launched & my volume levels are adjusted. I can revert back to "music" by pressing play/pause on hands free.
Hi all,
I have an Android Headunit which is currently using the default music app. I'm looking for another one that has more functions.
When the unit starts up it will generally run the last running app which would normally be the music app. with the music app it will auto start playing again.
I'm basically looking for a decent music app that will auto start when opened. As well one that has album cover and has the random music function option.
I've played around with Tasker to play the music when the app runs but this won't work when the head unit auto starts the app.
Thanks
i think many music apps can do that, when you open the app the music starts, all you need is to set in the setting.
i search for you online, there's 10 best music apps, but i don't know whether i can put the link in the forum. try this：
www dot techsupportalert dot com/content/best-free-music-player-and-organizer-android dot htm
if not, please tell me i will delete it immediately!!
the players i've tried don't seem to have that setting. The last one was Poweramp which seems to only auto start if headphones are plugged in.
sometimes, I want my son to listen movies . but when I zoom out the player, the movie is stopped. I want to find a solution to black screen after I click a button/icon, meanwhile the movie player can continue without pausing.
so
1. I need an app to screen off
2. meanwhile the player can't be stop
3. even if I find a such app, How to click it with mouse when the movie player is running.
I think multi-windows is a solution, but It will release on Android 7. Now, I just have Andriod 5.1 （teclast x16 plus. cherrytrail z8300）
Dear folks,
I've been having a huge problem. I bought me an Alcatel Pop 4 (5051D) with Android 6.0.1 running. Since day 1 when I tried to use the stock music player, it always kept crashing. So I downloaded another music player, the Pi Music Player. And that app also kept crashing. It crashes when I start a song and leave the app. It doesn't crash when I open the app or just lock my phone and connect it with a bluetooth music player or the bluetooth function in my car. It crashes when I go to the homescreen or use another app.
But it's not just the stock Alcatel music player or Pi Music player, any music player I've tried until today keeps crashing whenever I go to the homescreen or use another app (doesn't matter which one).
Therefore, I'm asking you guys if you could tell me why this problem occurs anytime and if there's a reliable music player that doesn't crash. I've also tried the default music player from old Android versions, and it also crashed. So basically any music player I've tried has crashed.
The problem is that you bought Alcatel. Sell it.
Hi,
I recently rooted my TicWatch and now I found that the download of music via Play Music does not work properly. The app on the watch states that the music has been downloaded but if I try to start the playback it wants to have a WiFi connection. It looks as if it only affects playlists. Also the covers for the playlists won't be download.
The usual stuff, clearing cache and date, reinstall, reset watch didn't help.
Any further ideas? I'm pretty sure that this worked before.
Thanks!
Sebastian

I think you have to accept that!
No, I won't. I just noticed that the music is working out the phone has Bluetooth enabled. Do the downloaded music is somehow not on the watch but is streamed from the phone instead. I will note try to sideload the phone play music app. We'll see if I can download the music then.
I just realised how stupid the actual behaviour is. The watch says that it wants to have WiFi streaming enabled in Play Music, to play the offline music. The funny part is that it does not matter if there is an actual WiFi or mobile data connection present. My watch is set to flight mode and is able to play the downloaded music. So apparently the only thing you need to do is to allow streaming via mobile data connection and not only via WiFi. #Facepalm
Btw. the sideloaded Play Music app does start but is closed immediately.
