My Question or Issue

Hi,

I would like to listen to my playlists on my Google Home device. When I say "Hey Google play [name of my playlist] it will start radio station based on that playlist.

Is it possible to play it or is this available only in the Premium account?

Hey @Dino2, welcome to the Community.

Hope you are doing great!

Playing songs on demand, unlimited skipping, downloading songs offline and so on are Premium features for which you can read more in this FAQ.

If you still need help don't hesitate to ask 😉

Have a nice day 🙂

Yes, I understand that I can't play songs on demand and have unlimited skipping but I should be able to play playlist at all in a shuffle mode.

Why can't I?

Hey @Dino2,

Have you trying turning Autoplay off?

Just go to Settings the look for Playback section. Tap on it and then find Autoplay.

Let me know how it goes 🙂

OK, I had this option turn on. I switched it to off and when I'll be at home I'll check and I will let you know.

OK, I've done it all and it still plays radio based on my playlist.

Is the a way to fix it?

Thank you for time and all the help.

I read your clues and I bought Premium account and now everything is working as it used to. Google Home is playing my playlists.
