Music and podcasts are now easily accessible from your Android Wear smartwatch.

The Playback Starter app for Android Wear allows you to play music and podcasts from your wrist. Just select the application you want to start playback from your smartwatch, and it will be played.

There are some issues with some of the Android Wear smartwatches that can make playback more difficult, so if you have one of those watches, you may need to tweak the settings in the Playback Starter app to get it working properly.

Some Android Wear smartwatches will play music and podcasts, but you will not be able to control it.
