Music beta, the Google Android app that supports Google Music Beta, autostarts whenever it detects a BT audio connection that isn't being used. So, for instance, if I shut off Poweramp or another streaming player before I disconnect BT, it will instantly pop up and start playing, sometimes even before the other app has shut down.
There is no settings menu to prevent it from "reacting" to headset commands in the app, and I'd like to be able to control whether it autostarts or not from another application. I downloaded Autostarts, but it doesn't even recognize the event as a trigger for the application.
Any other suggestions? I'd uninstall the damn program, but it's the only app out there now that will play music stored in Google Music beta.
interesting. Have never had it auto-play on bt connect. Are you using the widget as-well?

Nope. I only run the app when I want to play music on Google Music Beta. Otherwise I run Poweramp. What's annoying is that I'll have Pocketcasts up and running and even playing, and suddenly Music will decide it wants to play, too. I had this problem with Winamp and I had it with the stock Music app.
I froze the stock Music app in Titanium, and I could always remove this one, but then there aren't any other apps that play music stored in Google Music.
haven't tried it (trashed google music) but something called 'phantom' (appbrain) claims to play google music in the pro version. I THOUGHT I saw another one that did it but can't find it now. Look around; keep eye out.
Ok, this was just damn strange - So my Nexus was in my pocket and I take it out. Out of no where, songs start playing that I have in my library without me having pressed any buttons. My first thought was maybe I accidentally hit a button and no big deal. So I open my current apps and see that the google music player wasn't even on. I launched the actual google music app to then stop the song from there and couldn't locate the "Now Playing" song either! So I was left with no other choice but to restart the phone!
Anyone else experience this one?
How odd. Do you have any other music/media players? Even possibly a file manager? Maybe there's a bug with one of them.

I have a very similar issue, but it occurs most often when I automatically connect to Bluetooth in my car. I use Spotify so it clashes with Google Music too and causes this scramble of both players playing music on top of each other.
But I am very curious about this too, although it pops up primarily on my bluetooth. Google Music will just begin playing songs and further more I don't ever use it or initiate it. After a while I will get an error saying "Music has unexpectedly stopped working".
I've also closed the app as much as possible in Settings>Apps so I don't understand why it keeps playing and showing up repeatedly.
I had this issue with the Google music player also, I use power amp pro as my main music player and one day music started to play, I checked power amp pro and nothing so then I checked Google music and that was the problem. I disabled Google music. Also Google music app was force closing on me ever few days don't know why.

Hi,
First things first. I'm running JB touchwiz and rooted.
here's my system info if you need it. http://imgur.com/YQ2rILN.png
So, here's my problem. I am using two different players (technically 3 if you count pandora which I don't use very much) - PowerAmp (paid) and Google Play Music. The reason I have 2 players is because I have way more music than I can store on my phone which is where google play is nice, but I also like listening to FLAC files -google play only plays up to 320 - I also like having music on the device in case I lose 4g signal, and I like poweramp's interface much better. Because I'm using two players, they often compete for which one plays. I use my phone to stream music to my car stereo and alarm clock via bluetooth, and when I connect it to either device OR to my headphones via wired connection, poweramp overrides google play and starts playing whatever I listened to last, even if I killed the program previously or was listening to google music last. Basically, when I connect anything, it defaults to poweramp and not Google play regardless of which I was listening to. I want this the other way around, since I use google play much more often since I have so much more music on it. It's endlessly frustrating.
Now for the question - Is there a way to reverse this, so that when I connect my headphones or stereo it will default to playing from google music and not poweramp? Or, even better, is there a way to integrate google music's streaming ability in to poweramp somehow?
Oh, one last thing. I am wondering if there is a way to make PowerAmp and Google Music show on the touchwiz lock screen, with controls? Currently neither do, even though I have the option enabled in PowerAmp.
Thanks! :laugh:
I haven't used TouchWiz in a long time, but I know with AOSP, there is an option regarding what the phone does when a headset is connected. It's at System settings > Sound > Launch music app for AOSP users.
Seems like you could fix it there. Before this option became available, I was using Tasker to accomplish the same thing.

There doesn't seem to be any such option in that area. I did just think of something, Is there a way to replace the lock screen that doesn't suck? i like stock aosp lock screen better than touchwiz, I just like touchwiz for the guestures and shortcuts and such.
Use tasker
In power amp there is a setting to turn off the auto play when connected.

I can't help with your priority question, but I can tell you that with TW, you lose lockscreen music control ability. I know it's dumb, but it is what it is.

Hey that sounds like a very good idea. I just need to learn to use Tasker. Please feel free to elaborate.
I'm having this same problem. I have a Verizon S3, and have a tasker profile set up so that when I connect my phone to a power source it will automatically turn on bluetooth, connect to my car, launch google play, and start playing the last played song.
The problem is it launches Play Music, but starts playing Poweramp. Play music is what's on my screen, but when I swipe the notifications down PowerAmp is playing the music. I've checked everything and it should be set up correctly, but this still happens.
Any Ideas?

Have you checked the headset settings in poweramp to make sure no auto resumes are selected?

Yeah, Checked and removed the selections for that. And nothing in the Tasker profile is connected to Poweramp, yet it continually plays music from it...

What about respond to headset controls? Poweramp resumes playing on my car when I connect it to Bluetooth if I have that option enabled too

Hi!
Since 7.1.1 when I click the headset button or connect my phone to my car's bluetooth, Google Play start playing even if I was using other player before.
Only when other app like spotify are actively open they start playing, otherwise if I spend 5-10 min without using them, my Nexus 5x respond to the play command of the headset or the bluetooth by opening Google Play.
Is there a way to let the last app play?
Tried with tasker or other app with no luck...
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
I'm the only one having this problem?
From time to time media controls randomly have been appearing on my watchface. Just recently it's gone crazy. At least 10 times a day. Could be for Play music, Amazon music, Firefox, Kindle etc. I've tried blocking those notifications using the wear app but it makes no difference. Anyone else get this or know how to stop it?
I have the same problem with poweramp
