Google music start playlist playback activity - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to make Google music play a specific playlist via Automate (similar to tasker) when my alarm goes off. But I don't know what app activity to pick. I have found the playlist shortcut but that only launches the app and shows the playlist. I want it to play it also. How do I make this work?
Thank you

Music player playing mp3 ringstone.

so annoying that music player put mp3 ringstone on playerlist and playing them with other mp3 songs. even though, I put mp3 ringstone in ringstone folder.
is there away to fix that?
Which Music player are you using ?
All mobile media player do the same thing. You shuold create a playlist for all your MP3songs (without your MP3 Ringtones) and save that play list. next time just simply play that play list. for WM Mobile when you cold start the app ( the app is not already running in the background of your system "check your task manager") there aren't songs on the playlist. From here your can create your playlist at this time, then play them.
Hope that cuold help you.
There's no real solution to this.
Some will suggest changing the properties of any music file you don't want to appear in the sense music player list to 'hidden', but that also means it wont be seen by other apps (I hid my ringtones and they no longer appeared in the list of chooseable ringtones when setting a ringtone).
The best solution I came up with was re-tagging my mp3 ringtones as artist 'ringtone' and album 'ringtone', so at least they were confined to one artist/album.
thanks for reply.
start doing playlist now.
how to hide your ringtones?

[Q] Pin All Music in Google Play Music App

Hello all,
For the Google Play Music app, I know you can pin albums and playlists to your device so you do not have to stream them.
Is there anyway to simply pin all your music? Instead of doing each album or playlist individually?
Thank you.

Use a playlist
In the Web version Create a playlist with all your songs
In the App swipe to playlists and long press that play list to pin all
However its very slow doesn't keep the connection alive when the phone goes to sleep and puts the files in a folder where only a few other music players can see them

Google music is working in India???
can someone tell me how you create a playlist that contains your entire library? Hoping there's a better way than dragging every album/artist into the playlist.
Thanks!
Sorry for necroposting a little, I came across this thread while trying to accomplish the same thing, but dragging and dropping hundreds of songs onto a playlist didn't sound nice.
The easy way to go about this is to go to the Google Play Music web interface, go to My Library, and hit the "Shuffle My Library" button. That'll put all your music into the Queue, which you can open from the icon on the bottom right of the interface or from the side menu, under "Auto Playlists". Open the Queue, and hit "Save Queue", which will add all the music to a single playlist. From there, you can open up the android app and pin that playlist.
Hope this helps!

Create and play music playlists

Hi, I've bought an Huawei Y360-U31 for my mom, and she wants loads of songs. So, I'm trying to create 4-5 playlists, and each time she want, she can pick up which playlist she wants, but I cannot do it. I don't find either the proper app or widget. There is an option to add a widget to your homescreen called "Music Playlist" but I don't know which app is it behind in order to create the playlists ('cause when I'm trying to add that "Music Playlist" widget, it doesn't see my sdcard music folders).
So, do you know which app is that "Music Playlist" widget? How can I use it to create different playlists?
L.E. I think I found it, I guess it's Google Music; but how can I add my local music in it, and not streaming?
Sorted through Google Music finally .

Problem with voice Control for Music on Wear

Hey XDA-Developers Community!
I've got a Problem regarding the Voice Control Features for Music Playback on Android Wear.
I often use it to quickly start listening to Music of a certain Artist, by saying something like: play [artist].
But when doing this on my Moto 360 it always launches the SoundCloud app and searches for the corresponding Artist there.
However, I want this to be done with Google Play Music or the Music app provided by CM11.
When using Google Now on my Phone (LG G3 running CM11) I can choose which app should be used for Playback and it always uses my Preset.
I have "Music Playback" set to Play Music in the Android Wear Application and reset any default Actions in the app Directory of the Phone Settings.
I hope that someone maybe had the same Issue and/or knows a Way around it.
Greetings from Germany and I wish you all an awesome (hopefully sunny) Sunday!

Add currently playing song to a particular playlist

Hi Folks,
I am trying to automate addition of songs to a particular playlist without touching the phone.
The sequence of events are listed below;
1. Activate listening by utter by double tapping play/pause button on bluetooth headset
2. I say the name of the playlist that I want to add the currently playing song in spotify to
3. Utter initiates the send intent task on tasker to open the add to playlist screen in spotify
4. Use autoinput to select the playlist to add the song to
Using log cat, I have found the following intent for displaying the add to playlist screen on spotify;
com.spotify.music/com.spotify.mobile.android.spotlets.playlist.activity.AddToPlaylistActivity
I unfortunately cannot open the add to playlist screen in spotify using this intent. May I kindly ask for your help with setting this up correctly on tasker?
Thanks a million,
Jonahtan
