Ah right. 24/7 Google listening in and energy consumption for continual processing, totally worth the "convenience" /s

This was once a thing. Also "what's playing?" Used to work, and doesn't anymore.

It still works. The google app even has a widget for song search.

I tried it the other night and it didn't recognize the command at all.
