Amazon music as default on an Android Phone?
I'm guessing this is a "NO" as it's a competitor, but hopefully I'm wrong and there is a way to do this.If you own an Android phone, which the vast majority of those around the world do.
Is there a way to have Amazon Music be the default music service that starts playing when you ask the Google Assistant to play some music?
Thanks. Afraid not, same as Alexa does not play with Play Music as a music app. Pain in the behind really, petty argument between 2 tech companys that only harms consumers.
I was looking forward to having Alexa and Google assistant on my Sonos setup, but due to what a believe is further tit for tat between the companys you cannot have to 2 systems running side by side. Thanks for the reply.
Yes, 100% agree it's a major pain in the bum that just hurts the consumer.
I have Amazon prime, and some Amazon Echo's so it made sense to have Amazon music, but I also have some Google Homes, and an Android smartphone, but can't directly play my Amazon music on them.
I have to use the Amazon music app, THEN I can stream to my Google Cast devices, and music on my Android phone.
But it's just not a nice smooth experience.
That would mean changing to Spotify being the most practical, which would be another £1 a week. Yeah I know, casting is the only workaround; which is not ideal.
Similar issue for me, had Play Music (soon to be YouTube Music) for years before Amazon music so I have my music uploaded to it and still have purchases on there. We dont have Google assistant in the house, just Amazon so makes it a pain at times.
The one good thing is that the Sonos app allows me to feed any music service to my setup.
