Nokitchen Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi. I'm a newb with C25k and honestly I don't use music on my Android very often. I'd like to play music while I run. However, I can't get the C25k app to find my Google playlists it does find some 10-year old Apple playlists which somehow migrated to my phone (I do not have the Apple player). What do I have to do to get the app to discover that Google playlist? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timb113 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I bypass the C25K app for music and use Pandora. You can find some really good mixes to keep your energy up with that. And it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fiden Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I agree I use pandora app also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokitchen Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hmm. I'm trying to conserve bandwidth when I'm away from wifi and I like to pick my music when running (though I love Pandora for other stuff) but another music program might work. Does the app fade the music down when it talks to you? Also, is there a Zen Labs person reading these forums? It seems unusual that an Android app doesn't look for Google stuff.

Timb113 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The app will lower the music when it needs to speak (but only when you have the phone (iphone, at least) awake). If the phone is dark, it will not quiet the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikomata Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, I noticed it found one amazon music playlist, but not the one I made specifically for jogging. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikki Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I have the same question. I would love to be able to access my Google play playlists but can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ara Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 It would be great if a Zen staffer could help us out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvincent78 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 What I do is just go into my music app, which is the Samsung music player (or sometimes Google Play Music app) and start the music from there while I'm stretching. Then I just open the C25K app and start the workout. I've never really done my music through the C25K app. On mine, it fades the music down while giving run/walk prompts then brings it back up. dannimac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allyp Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have found the answer to this dilemma: Within an android phone your songs will appear under Sounds not Playlists. If you scroll down the list of Sounds you will find them, hopefully listed sequentially but if not just rename them with a "1" at the start of the song name and they will then come up at the top of the list. When you start the timer, click on the musical notes at the bottom left of the screen and then on the right it will say Playlists which once clicked will bring up the Sounds and Playlists tabs. From there you need to click on Sounds and scroll down to where your music starts and click on whatever song you wont to start from and they will play from that point. Hope this helps - I was very happy to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeniC Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I have my music in Google play. In Google play I created a workout playlist. Then I was able to go in the ap in the music and over your the right and clicked the list icon and chose that Playlist from the list. Hope it helps.
