We have our music loaded onto Google Play on our Android phone. However, when we try to play the songs, they don’t sync to Bluetooth and when we use an actual cable and play them aux, it says it can’t recognize the format. How do we correct this? ---

Does the source of the music matter? Whether it was bought through iTunes? Dowloaded off CDs? Taken from YouTube? Shared among friends? Does Android or Bluetooth block any particular mode?
