Giving Open App Play Priority - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a real bizarre question but is there a way to configure the Note Edge so that if I remotely open an App like Google Play Music over an existing currently playing app such as Pandora or Beyond Pod, and make it play over the app that was currently open? And for that matter, can I switch back to the previous app remotely and have it play over Google Play Music? Here's the thing, when my phone is not nearby me and I want to switch apps and have them play over the previous playing app, is there anyway to do this?

[Q] Is there a Play app that works like Motocast?

After owning the MAXX for 2 months, I just discovered Motocast. It is pretty awesome, I can access files and music from my home computer. What I want to know is, is there an app from Google Play that works the same way? I have a friend who wants to stream her music files from her home computer while she is on the road.
Play Music, the default music app on the phone. You just need to install the Google Music Program on the computer and it will automatically make all music on the PC available for play and download from any devices synced to that Google account. You can also play all your music from your Google Music account anywhere you have internet access.

Maybe I should have specified? She doesn't have a Motorola. I am looking for a Play app. Not what comes with my phone.

She doesn't need a Motorola, just any Android phone and the Play Music App. Unless they've changed things the Play/Google Music app comes stock with Android phones. If not, she can download it in the Play Store. I gave you the link right there =p

App request:play music data clearer

hi,
I want to request an app that someone might know or could possibly quickly cook up? I searched everywhere on the play store but couldn't find anything.
To add a song to play music manually, you need to clear data, and I find myself doing that almost everyday since I don't buy my music from the play store and I want to use play music because I like the ui and integration with android.
Is there an app that already exists or someone can make that will clear the data of play music?
thanks guys...

New, Google Play Music broke the ability to...

The recent update to google play music has broken the ability for 3rd party apps to 'play tracks' via Google play music.
I use the smartconnect app to play tracks through Google play music when it detects my car's Bluetooth, but with recent update to the play music app this no longer works.
I've gone into apps and uninstalled the recent update but the same issue persists.
Anybody else running into this issue?

I realize this is a very obscure error, but any help would be greatly appreciated...
What directory is the google play music app installed in? Maybe I can start looking for something in there.
I got google play music all access for the seamless integration. And now it's not working....
I submitted a bug report through the feedback option, but google never responds to that.

So I tested this with an older device I reset it to factory and the play tracks (which launches google play music at stays playing music) works.
Can somebody tell me how can I know what files the update installed?

[Help] - An app that tracks the trackers on Android

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/business/media/alphonso-app-tracking.html
Is there an (open-source) app that notifies its users if the camera/microphone/Bluetooth are in use and which apps are using them?
scenarios:
Google Play is currently streaming music over Bluetooth. I want to know that Google Play is using Bluetooth right now.
I'm playing a game right now and it has enabled my microphone. I want to be aware of that.
A website opened in one of the Firefox tabs is currently using my camera (front/rear), I want to be aware of that.
And so on. You get the concept.
Would love to have an app that keeps track of the trackers. If Tasker can do it, even better.

Google Play Music voice integration has been ruined since Google Home came out

Before Google Home came on the market I was able to use Google Assistant (and Google Home before that) to ask my phone to play particular songs or albums for instance I could say "OK Google play Iggy Pop - The Passenger" or "OK Google play Queens of the Stone Age - Villains (Album name)" and it would happily select it and play it.
Now since Google Home has appeared on the market if I ask the above I get a response saying that "Sorry the (insert Song title or Album name) isn't available in your area".
However this music is in my Google Play Music library and cached onto my phone so I don't see why I should pay for a subscription just to be able to get Google Assistant to play nicely with it.
In the end I have to ask Google Assistant to just play Iggy Pop (I can't select a particular album or track), then Google Play Music will try and play an Album I don't have and will usually have an error on the phone saying Offline playback not supported and then sometimes it will do nothing other times the whole app will crash.
I'm doing all of this whilst I'm driving so I can't have too much interaction with my phone, to try and manually select the music, so its a real pain.
I'm using a Google Pixel 2 XL, connected to my car via bluetooth.
Is anyone else seeing this problem and is there any remedy?
