Alexa isn't playing music with error message: "Store tracks require a subscription to stream." about geemusic HOT 7 CLOSED

I made a workaround to using store tracks as I'm a free user, it's not pretty though! See https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonecho/comments/5l47db/geemusic_a_skill_that_allows_alexa_to_stream_from/dch02n0/

@PostsDesert has worked with this a bit more than I, so maybe he can correct me if I'm wrong but I think you're right that we're simply skipping the library in favor of store tracks (which you're unable to play).

I'm away from my Dot right now but I do think this is a bug that we should address.

Yep, it's set up to use a store track whenever possible (library tracks are a pain to work with.) A lot of the GMusicAPI calls will not retrieve user uploaded tracks (I know the search one won't). From the GMusicAPI docs it looks like IFL radio returns a list of store songs so there's no way we could get the user uploaded version. A potential solution is to add a play library tracks intent as suggested in #35 which for you I would assume would play user uploaded tracks.

@SewerSide666 after a bit of finagling around with it so that it mostly worked with the more updated code I got the "play song by " intent working! So that's something! The rest is not working, however.

@PostsDesert, @stevenleeg thanks for your responses! I will try working on this issue myself and hopefully we find a solution :)

Sounds good. Feel free to fork/create a PR if you'd like to share the results!

I made a PR for a library intent which should let free tiered accounts play songs from their library. #47
