Use Google Play Music Apps
Play Music’ so that Google Home
understands what music service you
want to use, but there is a way to
avoid that for ease of use.
Set the default
If you go to the Google Home
app and tap ‘Music’ you can then
choose your default provider which
in this case would be Google Play
Music. At this point you can then
just ask for music or artists with no
need to specify the provider which
will make the system feel even
more natural. It is like a music-based
personal assistant who just happens
to have the largest music collection
in the world and who understands everything you say. As in all of
the Google ecosystem using Google Home with a particular service
will make it feel like even better value than it was before thanks to
the added versatility and accessibility. Give the Play Music trial a go
if you have not used it before and make every effort to explore all of
the commands and features available to you.
The natural language capabilities of Google Home give you the
chance to simply say whatever you like to it and to see what works
best in terms of the music offering. With so many options and such
natural communication on offer you will likely discover more new
music and artists that you have never heard before, which is one of
the major benefits of any subscription service. The ability of Google
Home to leverage all that is on offer music-wise makes it one of the
areas that is enhanced more than any other by your favourite audio-
driven personal assistant, because the world’s music just become a
lot more accessible.
