Good question, I'd like to know this too?

They told me it's not compatible at the Samsung mini store at my best buy today. Wow that watch becomes more and more useless with every new bit of info I find our about it.
Well they're wrong. The Gear can move to the next/previous tracks, pause/stop/play, and increase/decrease volume with the Google Play app. It can also control other media players on the phone like the stock music player, and my favorite surprise compatibility, Spotify.
I don't think they actually try these apps to know if they work or not. Heck, Spotify Support originally told me that the Spotify would not initially work with the Gear, although it does. I let them know and they were surprised.
Edit: Even better...Just noticed the artist and track are displayed on the Gear with Google Play.

If you are talking about the Samsung Reps at the booths at Best Buy stores, I wouldn't take their word for anything. I went to one of those booths, with my brand new Note 3, and my brand new Galaxy Gear, I asked the Samsung Rep to help me connect the two. The Samsung Rep didn't know JACK!! I showed them the Gear Charger and told them you have to do something with this, they said, you don't need that, it is only for charging. So, if a Samsung Rep, that has 5 Gears and two Note 3 in a display booth, also with a large neon sign stating "the next best thing, and displaying nothing but Galaxy Gear smartwatches, and doesn't know how to connect the two.. For me, that makes Samsung Reps in the booths, know-nothings, and I surely would not take the word from any one of them.. Just my two cents.

With TuneIn Radio, you can only encrease / decrease and stop music, but it's fine and I use it a lot
How do I get the GG to change songs on my phone is there an app I have to download

What did you do to get that to work? Right out of the box mine, at least, does not. I'll have Spotify playing, then hit next or pause on the Gear and the native media player opens up and starts playing the first audio file it can get a hold of - I never even use that app...
TIA!
