    "Ok Google.... Play <artist> on Spotify" works for me. I agree discovery of these magic phrases needs work.

      Yeah, there's some that can be done through system actions (which I think that is) and it sounds like custom actions have been implemented by selected partners, I just mean they need to open up custom actions to enable more general app-specific integration.

  I thought this already worked. Okay Google... Play music will start Music app Okay Google... Start Radio will start NPR app

    I can say "Open Spotify" and it will open the app. Then I have a button on the helmet that sends the Play command. But I can't do anything robust like playing a specific artist. Perhaps if I used Google Music the integration would be built out.

      On my Nexus 6p saying "OK Google play 'artist'" will open Spotify and start playing the top songs of that artist. This does not work to play specific playlists though.

      On my phone "Play <artist>" uses Google Music. "Play <artist> on Spotify" makes it use Spotify.
