"Now Playing" and controls for Play Music? - Asus ZenWatch

Has anyone managed to find a free way of getting Google Play Music to display current track details and player controls on the Zenwatch? There's a paid app called Wear Music Controller but I was hoping/expecting that this would be standard functionality?

Mine is displaying that now. Do you have 5.1.1 on your watch? This is for downloaded music; I haven't tried it when streaming.

[Q] Music player app that display encoded lyrics ?

I need one like this, which show lyrics that you've encoded yourself (like through iTunes, etc.) on the screen.
Most music player apps show lyrics on their database (or somewhere) , but I often listen to more "obscure" songs so not all of my songs have lyrics there
I believe power amp has this feature. 4.99 from play store.

TTpoD 3.3 .. you can download in playstore..
After testing most of the music player available on Google Play, I finally choose PowerAmp, the most complete on the place. There is a free app but the full version deserve the price 4,99$.
lyrics in android
Unfortunately, Android does not natively support the ID3v2 USLT tag necessary to display lyrics. I just added a new feature request that would give Android this support. This will enable the native and 3rd party music players to display lyrics. If you want this feature, please star the request below, and post your comments.

Uhm no thanks, Poweramp is good

Google music remote control

Hello,
I've had a search around and not found anything of use. The problem I have is I now solely use google music to play my tunes, when I'm in a fullscreen program or game on my pc I have to tab out each time to change the track. That's very annoying and wondered if there was maybe an app or broweser extension for google music to be remote controlled right from my one x.
Thank you in advance.

Issues with music on lock screen

Hey, so I'm kinda stuck on this one feature and can't seem to find a way around it.
I like the stock htc one music player, but when i use ok google to play a song (like i do in the car) it just searches for the song in the music player, doesn't play it. I've been using the google play music player which does work with the ok google command, but i have to enter the pin to get to the music player. Is there some kind of tweak like for xposed or a setting that either makes ok google work properly with the htc music app or Google play bypass the lockscreen? or some other option im not thinking of?
Thanks

Music control from watch

Hi guys..
I'm looking for a way to control my music player.
Specifically the ability to fast forward/rewind within a song track... (or even better if it can do track-bar scrubbing) from my watch.
I've been searching around for apps and i couldn't find any with such functionality so far.. Anyone here have any ideas? maybe some tasker gurus...?
Thanks!
other than the skip forward or back songs?

Yup. I know there are quite a number of wear apps that support skipping tracks and adjusting volume..
I'm looking for a way to "rewind" or "fast forward" to a specific part of a song..
Any ideas?
Music boss is a nice one

I tried boss.. Apparently the fast forwarding function works only with very specific apps like audio books.. It doesn't work with normal music players.. I even emailed them and asked about it, no luck...
Is there any app other than google play music that can play songs stored in the watch?

As far as I know, the only other player that can do that is the Xperia Music app.

If you use poweramp you could try poweramp remote 4 android wear. It let you browse your artists, albums and songs on your watch and than play them on your phone

Playing music issue?

Hey guys, i posted this question in Help & Troubleshooting as well, but figured there is more traffic here, so ere it goes again.
Does anyone know as to why would youtube open (and show an error) on my phone, when i hit play music on zenwatch?
Youtube is not my default app, i checked.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure that in the Android Wear app the default app for playing music is the the player you want to use.

Only certain music player apps have Android Wear extensions. You can try using Music Boss for Wear from the market. That will allow you watch to issue headset remote commands to any music app on Android. I used to have it for Pebble and it may be worth the few dollars if you don't want to use a Wear compatible music app.
