Can anybody explain how to listen music with the watch?
In "Play Music" app on watch, select "Play on Wear"
Seems to me it only works if you download music. Doesn't seem to let you stream.
It's a paid app, but you can use "WearMedia", it lets you transfer music from your phone to your watch, then you can open the app on the watch, select the song, and it'll play through the watch speaker.
You can already do that with the built in Android applet.

Once you have music on watch pick google play music app, play on wear, speaker, play.
Am I the only person who thought it would stream music rather than download it to watch?
Using WearMedia and works very good for me so far. This watch Speaker sound continues to amaze me!
I continue to look for a way to quickly mute the watch speaker. Playing music works fine for me but how do you stop it without using the pause button?

So I have been using and loving Google music and my 5,000 songs on cloud. I have found an irritating bug and am not sure if anyone has the same problem.
I have a head unit in my vehicle that is capable of streaming media via Bluetooth. Anytime I end a call Google music turns back on even after closing it. I have X it out in the notification slide down menu. I even went into running apps and force closed it. Keep in mind before I make the phone call Google music is not on, not in the notification bar and not in recently opened apps. And magically call ends on Bluetooth, and phone restarts Google music and starts playing in my car!
I don't think this happens if I I use google music with my headphones.

Well it really depends on the system in your car. Most systems I have dealt with (Ford sync, Toyota, Chrysler) automatically resume whatever song is playing if connected for Bluetooth audio. If you do not want audio playing through the phone you can just pause it using a command on the steering wheel or on the radio itself.

Yes it is supposed to resume whatever song is playing. i have ford sync for almost two years now and was using Pandora streaming plenty. If I exit Pandora or let me be even more specific, pause a song before I make a phone call, when I end the call the song stays paused or Pandora stays closed until I tell it otherwise. This is not the case for Google music. I press pause then song continues once call ends. I quit the program before call, song continues, force close before call song continues....Technically there should not be any song playing when I told it to stop in the first place.

Hi All
Does anyone else here use the desktop dock to listen to music? I do at work with a headphone amp - it works great.
There are a couple of annoying points though. Firstly if you lift the phone out of the dock whilst music is playing it doesn't pause the music it just plays it out loud from the phone speaker - not good in a quiet office.
Similarly if a call comes in when you have finished the call the music that was playing before you took the call starts playing when you hang up. What's even more annoying is that the play music app is not listed in the notification field to easily pause it, you need to re-launch it then get the now playign screen up and then pause it - all whilst your music is played out lous for the whole office to hear.
VERY ANNOYING
Any way round this? I hope they fix these bugs soon.
Use a better music player app?
Player Pro, N7Player, Winamp, etc... Any player that has lots of docking and bluetooth options. Just check the ones you want.
Example: i only have one play/pause button on my headphones, so i binded it that way:
1 click: Play/Pause
2 click: Next Song
3 click: Previous Song

This is using the Google Music app so I can play my music from the cloud. I've not tried it with Spotify (the only other app I use for music) but I am pretty sure it'll do the same thing. I'll try it next time I'm in the office though.
I recently buy a moto 360 and update it to 4.4w.2, so theres a option that says you can save your music in the watch from the google play music app, my cuestion is if you can select the music that you want to transfer?
I have marked the option in the phone, but doesnt transfer the music to my watch, anyone can help me?
I don't think there's an option for that. There's no speaker, so what's the point?

There certainly is an option for it. The watch allows pairing with bluetooth devices. I've successfully paired my watch with a bluetooth speaker and played music to it with my phone being completely off.
OP, I just selected the option to download to wear in the google play music app settings and then you should see the watch say that it's transferring. It works better if you put the watch on the charger right after you enable the option in google play music. The transfer speed is ridiculously slow.
As of now, you cannot select which music you want to transfer. The music that will be transferred is whichever music you have downloaded to your phone in Google play music.
Using the Android Wear app on my phone, I have blocked all of my audio-playing apps (Google Music, PowerAmp, BeyondPod, etc.) and rebooted my watch. However, when playing music, I still get popups about what is playing on my phone. How can I get rid of all popups on my watch which are related to playing audio?
UPDATE: Google says:
When you listen to music on your phone, you’ll always see the music card with options to pause and play. You can’t turn this card off.
Dear Google, that sux.
Whenever I get in my car and my bluetooth connects, google play music just starts playing whatever was last on on Google Music App. I'm a spotify user and would like to change the default from Google to Spotify. I can't seem to find a way to stop Google music from playing by default. It's very annoying. Works great if you use Google music, but otherwise, annoying.
Anyone having this issue? Anyone have a fix?
AFAIK there isn't a way to prevent media autoplay when connecting to (certain?) car stereos.
Interestingly enough, I don't think that the behavior is actually specific to GPM. I usually listen to podcasts in the car rather than music, and as long as the phone hasn't rebooted or GPM hasn't been used since Pocket Casts was playing, my podcast resumes when I get back in the car usually even if the notification has been closed. It may be the the Spotify app is missing some hook that allows it to take advantage of this feature, but I don't believe we have any way of affecting it directly.
BRO. This **** happened to me for like a week straight and I was getting pretty angry. I made the mistake of asking Google Assistant to play a song for me ONCE and every time I connected to a bluetooth device (usually my car) it started playing the song from where it left off. I don't know what I did to make it stop to be honest, so I'm not much of a help but I can confirm this is a very annoying issue.
I did NOT, however, uninstall Google Music, Disable it, or touch the app in any capacity. There's no option to prevent it from autoplaying, either. I might've let the song play out, but I'm afraid to open the app again to take a look.
