How do I change my default music player?

Answered by Willie Powers

To change your default music player on your Android device, you can follow these steps:

1. First, access the Google Assistant settings. You can do this by touching and holding the Home button on your device or by saying “OK Google” to activate the Assistant. Then, tap on the More option located in the bottom right corner of the screen.

2. In the More menu, select Settings. This will take you to the settings page for the Google Assistant.

3. Once in the settings, scroll down and tap on the Services option. This is where you can manage various services linked to the Assistant.

4. In the Services menu, you should see a Music option. Tap on it to proceed.

5. Now, you will be presented with a list of available music services that you can choose from. These services are the ones that are compatible with the Google Assistant. Select the music service you want to set as your default player.

6. If you haven’t signed in to your chosen music service, you might be prompted to do so at this point. Enter your account credentials to sign in.

7. After signing in, your default music player will be set to the chosen music service. This means that when you ask the Google Assistant to play music, it will use this service by default.

It’s worth noting that not all music services may be available in all regions, so the list of options might vary depending on your location. Additionally, some music services may require a subscription or additional setup steps to work with the Google Assistant.

Changing your default music player can be a personal preference, as different music services have different features, libraries, and user interfaces. It’s a good idea to explore and try out different services to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

Personally, I have changed my default music player on multiple occasions to try out different services. Each time, I found it easy to navigate through the Google Assistant settings and select a new music service as my default player. It allowed me to seamlessly integrate my preferred music service with the Assistant and enjoy listening to my favorite tunes with just a voice command.

Changing your default music player on your Android device is a straightforward process. By accessing the Google Assistant settings, you can easily select a music service from the available options and sign in to your account if necessary. This allows you to enjoy your preferred music service with the convenience of voice commands through the Google Assistant.
