[Q] Google Play Music resumes where paused after restart - General Questions and Answers

Google Play Music app can resume from where the file was last time paused even after the phone has rebooted.
So it has to save the data to memory. I really like this function. It becomes useful when I listen to 1-2 h long shows, and I have to go somewhere meanwhile, and the app closes.
But what I don't like is the apps interface. Is there other apps that can do so?

I'm trying to get Pandora to play when opened, I want to use it as my alarm with Tasker.
Thanks!
Mine plays automatically...?
When pandora starts initially it auto-plays however if it is paused and you launch it, it will remain paused. You could have your task kill pandora first.. wait a few seconds... then launch

google play music pausing when screen turns off, and other issues

I'm using stock marshmellow from lg. google play music pauses the song when the screen turns off. usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes after the screen turns off. I'm not exactly sure if it pauses the song or the audio just cuts off. I've added google play music to ignore battery optimizations and that didn't help.
another issue I'm having is after I reboot the phone, play music doesn't detect my songs. the sd card is mounted but there is no music in play music. sometimes remounting the sd card doesn't work and I have to reboot. also, after rebooting, my playlist is empty.

Google Play Music not reliably resuming since Oreo

I use Google Play Music as a music source. Historically, I would stream music in my car, connected via BT, and when I turned my car off, the music would stop. The next time I started the car, Google Play Music would resume. Since the update to Oreo, when I start the car up, the phone will often times start playing from the built-in music app instead (whatever music file it can find on the phone, sometimes the stock music tracks that came with the phone). I seem to have less than a 50% chance of it resorting to the music player, rather than properly resuming Google Play Music. I've tried setting Google Play Music as the default music app, I've turned off all the power management for GPM, but nothing helps. I've even been sitting at a stop light, play a video in facebook (which causes GPM to pause while audio from the video is being played), and then when the video stops, the music player will start playing a track from the phone, rather than GPM resuming. I never had this issue on Nougat, it started with Oreo. I was in the Oreo beta and reported it, but that beta was a farce.
Has anyone else experienced this? Have you fixed it? It's driving me crazy! (no pun intended)

Question OK Google, music question, Pixel 7 Pro

I have around 50 Gb of music stored in the Music folder on the phone.
When I "OK Google" and ask the phone to play stored music it always goes to Pandora and starts to stream music instead.
Is there some exacting command that will make the phone play my stored music, and can I modify that command to play a specific band? For example, can I have the phone play stored songs by the band Tool for example? I have 3 or 4 music players on the phone I can use.
Also, as an aside, when I try to use YouTube music to play my stored content, it takes about a minute to load the 5000 songs, which it does every time I open the app. Then, it takes about 30 seconds to start playing a selected song, and 30 seconds between each and every song. (I get the circling icon each time). I've factory reset the phone figuring there was a glitch, but the issue still exists.
