How can I play a mp3 file via adb command with google play music on android kitkat 4.4.4?

Question

I just have tried the old method of start to play a .mp3 file with adb command.

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.music/com.android.music.MediaPlaybackActivity -d /sdcard/Music/abc.mp3

But currently it does not work. Could any one help to check if there are any updated ways to do so?

And I also have tried `adb shell am start -n com.google.android.music/com.android.music.activitymanagement.TopLevelActivity -d /sdcard/Music/abc.mp3` since I found the sub-activity name has been changed. but could only start the activity, not able to play. — Michael.Zhou, Aug 01 '14 at 15:50
I also tried `adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.View -d "file:///sdcard/Music/abc.mp3" -n "com.google.android.music/com.android.music.activitymanagement.TopLevelActivity"`, still does not works. — Michael.Zhou, Aug 01 '14 at 16:35

Issue resolved by using command such as:

(file path: /storage/sdcard0/test.wav)

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d file:///storage/sdcard0/test.wav -t audio/wav

(file path: /storage/emulated/0/test.wav)

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d file:///storage/emulated/0/test.wav -t audio/wav
