I made a tasker app to solve the music not starting using touchless control. At least it won't start for some of us.
I made it how I want it to work anyway. 
Install the app. It will be called "Shuffle".
Do your ok Google now or whatever you say to open touchless control.
Say "open shuffle"
The app will be opened. It opens Google music, starts playing music on shuffle mode. Then goes back to your home screen. Then I use Bluetooth to control it...like next track and whatever. Or you can drag down the status bar and control it that way.
Works great for me! Thought I'd share it with those interested.
Of course you don't need tasker, cause it's an app now. But you do need root and have to grant it root permission. Don't know why....tasker just makes it that way it seems.
Enjoy.

THANK YOU! Just downloaded this. I don't have Tasker and this works FANTASTIC! Very helpful.

Hey,
I downloaded this and tried it out and it didn't work for me. It opens Google Play but it doesn't actually work from there. I live in Canada, could that be why?
EDIT: I got it to work once but it hasn't worked since.

I'm in Canada. Does Google music app see your songs? Its worked for me consistently.
When it doesn't work...what does it do...?

What does the actual Tasker task look like? Tried making something similar, but was only able to clumsily pull something off using emulated screen touches.
Yeah, that's what I did. One down, one right, one press. Then home key...to go back to main screen.

I have Google Play Music All Access in Canada so that might be the reason why it isn't working. Here's what happens when I open the application.
It opens Google Play Music, Opens the sidebar and that's basically it.

If you have tasker....you probably need to pay around with the up down right..etc. dpad moves.
All mine does is open Google music and click the shuffle all "button"....nothing opens, music starts and Google just goes away and you are back to your home screen.

Hi all, anyone know of a way to maintain the Play Music app as an ongoing app? If for whatever reason the app closes, you must relaunch the app to regain the quick play features in the notification pulldown.
Coming from an iPhone, this is one feature I would love to get back.
Thanks

Not really sure how to make it ongoing, but you can put the Play Music widget on one your homescreens to quickly start it from where you left off if it closes.

Try installing a music player that has a widget such as mxplayer so you can just resume the music from the home screen.

Actually I found an halfway working solution. Using Notification Toggle, I set up a shortcut to play/pause music. Unfortunately is starts/stop the last music app used so it defaults to the stock app. Have to start Play Music first in order for it to work properly. At least it works anywhere

I dont understand how HTC doesnt see an issue w/ this. I used mog and pandora and it stops multiple times during my work out. Its really annoying to have to stop, launch the app, and then hope it continues when i lock my phone again.
I just finished a beta version of the mobile MrtzcMP3 app and I actually only have a tablet to test it on. I hate working with the Android Device Emulator, so can any of you guys test the app for me on your Android 3.0+ phones? Thanks!

And? Any first impressions?
Oh come on! Nobody who wants to help me with this?

Thanks man, glad to know it works fine on a phone we're working on bitrate, should be there in the next update!
New version
Version 1.3 now in Google Play Store.
New functions:
- Bitrate
- Bug fixes
Pretty nice app. It's still simple and we can't stop the preview but it has great potential. I haven't tested download function as I don't have anything to download but I see many stuff that could be useful.
It's a little bit too much Google Ads, and I would like to see this program as a good online music player. So basic functions should be included like controls, and add to favorites button. What I mean is something like spotify or grooveshark without having to pay for playing music. I'm going to subscribe this thread as I'm wating for more functions

Preview is at the moment indeed just a small part of the song. So, if I understand correctly, you can't find the song after downloading it? Should be in the Music-folder in your SD-card?
-If you want to search for a song and the keyboard appears, you can't see the text field anymore
- text hover problem
- you can't play downloaded song
What the app needs :
+Choose downloaded folder
+Open downloaded song with external player
+less ads
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Nice app, but I miss the bitrate, the Albumcover, search history and you should be able to set the destination folder for the downloads. And the downloading procress should be done in background. Maybe you could also make something like a download list so you can download more songs at once.
And of course it would be great if you could stream a song and make a playlist like in YouTube.
I really linke your work and hope you keep in improoving it and make it eaven greater
I actually bought this app, been looking for something like this for a while. What folder is the default download folder? Ability to change that, and also keep the downloads in the background so you can keep on searching for songs and download them.
Thanks

Yeah, I've been using Open Mic +. It's pretty good and no need to use a different launcher. You can also customize it instead of saying "Ok Google." I just changed my activation word to "Google" and it automatically opens up Google Search and listens to what you want to say. Pretty convenient. You can turn it off and on. Just google it. I believe it's also in the play store.

Very minimal if any drain. I'm actually using the 2.4 version. 3.5 is the latest, and I'm not sure how good that one is, but I've had no issues with mine. Also, people complaining about slow start up time isn't true. The 3-5 seconds it takes is only when you first start the app. After that, every time you say your hotword, it opens up quite fast and ready to listen. That's for 2.4 at least. I'm sure 3.5 has to be better.

Had anyone else experienced that the thumbs up playlist is completely gone? Mine has been gone for a few months now, and google claims they are working on a solution but I don't trust em.

Its in the bottom left corner when you are in the (I guess you can call it) "Now Playing" screen. Thumbs up is on the bottom left and thumbs down is on the bottom right.

If we're talking about the same thing, mine disappeared right after my trial ended.
I have the same problem.
I have all access for only a day but the thumbs up auto playlist stopped showing up on my phone. Even though it worked before I can now only view it on desktop. I tried turning sync for google music on/off, I refreshed music from Google Play (from the settings) and even uninstalled the app and installed it again. Still no thumbs up playlist.
All of my playlists have disappeared and I have no idea why.

As someone mentioned, mine also disappeared after the trial ended. I think that it's supposed to be that way. That way people will pay for the service to get it back.
The thumbs up playlist was replaced by the "Highly rated" auto-playlist for me

I did everything you said but when I get here to say "OK Google 3 times it wont listen to the first one.
With it force activated via language change etc, the camera will not record video, saying 'unable to record video while in call'. Untick the option for every screen listening and the camera is able to record once again.
So seems like it always listening makes the camera think it is permanently in a phone call. Annoying.
Sorry if it's mentioned already.
