Does "streaming" music from Play Music via USB work with Pixel(Nougat)? I"m not talking about playing stored music.
This works with iPhone, but never worked with Android phones.

Hi people!
Today I stream Spotify from my PC in my home office to my PS3 in the living room with ps3mediaserver. It's great that this is possible, but when I want to listen to a spesific song/playlist, I have to go to my computer and find the song/playlist there.
Is it possble to stream Spotify from my HD2 (with the official spotify app) to PS3 as I do from my PC? It would be great to use my HD2 to scroll through playlists, choose songs etc. and have the audio streamed to my TV speakers.
Cheers!
Hmm, I guess it's not possible..
Like the title says.
Is there any way to have the music I have bought on the play store to be on my internal storage to be readable by other apps and devices?
I always played my music I downloaded from other places through my Xbox by just plugging my phone into it. But I uploaded my music to Google play so that it would be synced to my tablet. Now I can't do that at all without dlna (which I can't play while playing a game). There has GOT to be a workaround or something, I can't be the only one with this sort of problem......

You should be able to grab mp3s from the play store. You should also be able to strip the DRM tags with e.g. eye3d. This requires that you own the music and you'd still have to transfer it to your (emulated) sdcard.
Besides that I can recommend subsonic + dsub. It's an awesome tool to stream / play music and it can stream e.g. to a chromecast. It might be possible to use it in jukebox mode, which means you'd need a raspberry pi or alike and you could play your lib with it. But I have not yet tried that (I have a chromecast ).
Basically: If you don't know how you are going to play your music in 5 years don't buy from crippled stores. And noone known how to play songs in 5 years from now.

Thanks for trying to help. I used the play music downloader in PC and put my library on my storage. A few songs are showing up twice in my play music app, but not all. I can live with this I guess. Hopefully Google makes this easier in the future.

Google play music is crappie. I stopped using them a couple years ago. And again thank you for this app
Has anyone gotten the phone to send metadata to their car through bluetooth when using Google Music? It seems to work with the default music app. Is there a way to fix this or work around?
Got the same problem with Spotify and Deezer, though the latter does a better job. When streaming Spotify qua Bluetooth to my car radio (original Volkswagen RCD -510) the radio display is just showing the first streamed track name, the following song's names aren't updated correctly...
Got a Galaxy S6 GM920F on Stock Android 5.0.2
Are you steaming the songs or are they downloaded into the phone already?

Streaming doesn't work with Pandora either. It works from time to time with Milk Music.
works fine for me in both of my late model cars, with Pandora and spotify, and google play music
Has anyone figured out a work around if any possible? Weird thing is that it does show meta data for that samsung demo song the phone comes with when it plays with the default music player.
I get both streaming and downloaded or copied music while using a Kenwood DDX 719 unit.
Pandora or Milk.
Also all my contacts while making or receiving calls.

I have successfully linked my MacPro to my home stereo through the Chromecast audio puck I just bought. But now I want to play the Apple Music from my iTunes library. I know Apple Music is not in the support list of Chromecast audio. Why doesn’t Apple accept Chromecast? Since I don't want to give up Apple Music, I got a method from Google. Is it legal to convert the Apple Music for personal use?
Try this way!
Apple Music is protected by DRM which you can't cast on your Chromecast directly. In order to make your Apple Music castable on your Chromecast, you may need to convert your Apple Music so that you can cast Apple Music on Chromecast, here, you can try TuneFab Apple Music Converter, which easy to operate.
How i Stream Apple Music to Chromecast
I bet we all know that we can download Apple Music songs on devices for offline listening. But we can't add the downloaded music to non apple software for playing. Chromecast or Chromecast Audio won't have the chance either. Because Apple Music songs are DRM protected audio file.
If we remove the DRM and convert Apple Music songs to normal audio file, say MP3, then we can easily play them on your Mac or Windows PC and cast them to Chromecast/Chromecast Audio.
Or be smarter, we upload our favoriate Apple Music songs from our Mac and Windows PC to Google Play library[/URL] (in cloud) and then stream them using Google Music app which has support for Chromecast/Chromecast audio on any device we have. Because, yes, we can download Google Play Music app on iOS devices as well!
Just follow the steps below to convert Apple Music to upload and steam them using Google Play Music app.

Hi,
I will recommend another powerful tool named DRmare Apple Music Converter for you. I've used it for several months and It will help convert all my Apple Music files to MP3 with high quality. Maybe you can also have a try.
I followed the Forum Rules and searched but can't find anything on what surely must be a very frequently asked question.
I got a 3-month free trial of Google Play Music. Works fine on my phone so bought a chromecast audio and connected to amp+speakers, now I can cast and streamed music works as expected. BUT having unplugged my local media player I can no longer listen to my local media.
It's inconvenient having to plug and unplug all the time. How do I hack the chromecast audio device to stream from local machines as well as from Google Play Music?

It will stream a PC's audio to chromecast
The easiest solution if probably just to upload your music to Google Play Music. This will also allow you to initiate playback using a Google Home if you ever buy one.
it doesn't support directly playing local tracks, it requires uploading music to your library for playback.
