Google Home has a ways to go still (10 attempts to play a song)
Here’s a short rundown of me attempting to play the song Mayan Pilot by Splashdown, which exists in my Google Play Music Library. It’s pretty much the most frustrating experience I’ve had with Google Home to date because as shown below sometimes it works.
I’ll note the speaker group House is all of my Google Home devices, it was initially named All
