- The same thing is also true with iTunes by default but it would be nice if you just had to press play once to open Spotify and start playing music rather than to press the key, wait for the app to start and then press the key again.
- Fill up your playlists. Algorithms rule our lives now, from Netflix recommendations to Facebook.
I'm having difficulty associating. I am trying to make Spotify my default player so when I invoke it from my keyboard it opens Spotify and not Groove. I have the Spotify store app. If I try to associate MP3s to Spotify using the win10 settings app, it takes me to the store but hides the app and shows other music apps that are not Spotify.

Note: To set Spotify as your default podcast service, tap Choose default podcast service. - Select Spotify and tap DONE.

Congratulations! You’ve now successfully found and set your default music application for Google Assistant. For me, that’s still Google Play Music, but many of you may have already made the transition to YouTube Music. Or maybe you use some of the other popular options that Assistant plays nice with like Spotify, Pandora, and iHeartRadio.
