Google Play Music

[MrMatthewHM]

have a Samsung Galaxy S7, 8.0.0 Oreo. I also have the latest version of Google Play Music - 8.21.8170.-1.0

I have thousands of song on my SD card. All of them are loaded in Google Play Music. I'm looking for a way to get Google Play Music to play certain songs, groups, genres, playlists, etc, from my library on Google Play Music by using voice commands through Google assistance. Especially while driving.

I've thoroughly researched for an answer and have done much experiment on my own to no avail.

Is it possible to do this? If not, is it possible to do it with a different kind of player?

I really need the voice command.

First, make sure Google Play Music is the default music service for Assistant. Open the Google app, tap More>Settings>Google Assistant>Services>Music, and make sure GPM is selected there as default.

To get GPM to play music, just say "Hey Google, play [xyz]." The only thing I'm not sure about is if there will be a problem with playing music from the SD card (i.e., it might only be looking for music in your cloud library).
