Having Google Play Music as the default Music Player on Google Home works well for those who have a subscription to the paid version of Google Play Music service.

Google Home device users without a subscription to the paid version of Google Play Music will encounter certain restrictions, like being unable to play a specific song.

The only way to bypass these restrictions is to either signup for Google Play Music or change the default music player on Google Home to Spotify or another music service that you are subscribed to, instead of paying for two music services.

So, let us go ahead and take a look at the steps to change default music player on Google Home device.

Change Default Music Player on Google Home to Spotify

1. Open the Google Home app, tap on the 3-line icon and then tap on Music in the drop-down menu.
