    Looking for bit of advice, I've been using Spotify as my music app of choice (free for long time but have recently gone premium) mainly chose it just because it was the best known, however there is some functionality that I'm not happy about and that is voice control.

    So if using Spotify in my car (in car holder) I can easily enough click into it and click search, however typing in teh name of a band is a bit more phone interaction than I prefer when driving. The keyboard I'm using is swiftkey which has a voice input method if you hold the comma key, this works in a variety of apps but for some reason not Spotify. I am aware you can from homescreen OK Google and say "Spotify Killers" for example but I don't find it works that well, and not sure if skipping tracks and that works.

    I've nothing in particular holding me to Spotify so is there other music apps with better voice control options the only other apps I'm aware of are Deezer and Google Music, I'm sure there are others but is anyone aware of any with good voice control options.

    Thanks
