I recently upgraded my phone to Pixel 5a. I guess the Android Auto app is no longer a thing, but Assistant was able to handle "OK Google, play Baduizm" and the command went through to MMA; plays scrobbled and everything. (I didn't know for sure it was MMA playing until later.)

EXCEPT: the tracks were played in alphabetical order rather than track order. This is not good.

I found one comment online by someone with the same issue with a different media player; that guy claimed that the problem is with the media player, that there was some other player that played the tracks in order.

Hi,
Voice controls and intents are scheduled for MMA 2.0

Any news on this? Any chance it could work in the future?

Hi,
Try "OK Google -> Open MediaMonkey Application"? It usually work for me.

On samsung devices this actually works perfect with the for some much hated Bixby... Dont know why, but it does respond to "start mediamonkey" etc....

Hi,
MediaMonkey didn't get/passed Google Assistant testing, we are investigating better integration and only recently Google published custom triggers for external apps. I have same issue on Nexus Player where MediaMonkey do not get recognized as MediaPlayer, but if MMA is open then basic voice commands work.

I'm trying to set MediaMonkey as the default music app on my new (Pixel 3) android phone, but I can't figure out how. It isn't listed under
  • Settings > Google > Search, Assistant and Voice > Google Assistant > Services > Music
  • Settings > Apps and Notifications > MediaMonkey
  • MediaMonkey > Options
  • Settings > Apps and Notifications > Advanced > Default Apps doesn't actually seem to have a music setting at all.
If I open the assistant and say "open MediaMonkey", it does open the app. If I say "play [song name] with MediaMonkey" it searches Google Play Music for "[song name] with mediamonkey". If I say "play music" it asks me to choose from a list of apps which does not include MMA.

I can't find anything saying support has been removed. I'm out of ideas and search engine results.
