I wonder if it is possible to program any of my hardware keys to "next track" so that when I want to change my song, to be able to do it without removing my gloves/taking the phone out of the pocket. Is it?

Use the headphones htc supply you with, the track skipper buttons on there work fine when locked
Yep, I'm well aware of that. But the main problem is that the sound is awful listening with them, and that sometimes when I need to change the track the phone is connected with 2 speakers. Isn't there anything else? :/
Venturi Car adapter
I purchased the Venturi Cigarette Car Transmitter and it works brilliantly with the HD2. It allow you to have the phone in your pocket and change tracks, pause the track and select tracks backwards and forwards.
Hope this will help you.
Anyone know of a compatible headset where the 'next/previous' buttons can control the music player on the i9000?
My nokia TV-out cable works for TV output, so tried my Nokia headset (WH-701) that has music playback controls on it in the hope that works too, but only the call answer button works. I got the stock android lockscreen, so no longer have the touchwiz pull-down music controls on the lockscreen, so it would be handy to be able to change tracks from the earphone wire.
Tried searching for appropriate keywords in the forum but didn't see anything about this.
Thanks
it can easily be done on the bluetooth headset
no idea about the wired ones
I see would prefer weird ones, but might have to look into the bluetooth types. Is there any bluetooth headset you use or can recommend?

I've been wondering about this too. The lack of control through the headset is the only thing that is keeping me from selling my iPod.
NOKIA BH-503 work like a charm, it is a wonderful headset with excellent bass, gives you like a surround effect, somtimes i flet like it was 5.1

there are a lot that i can recommend actually, it just depends on your preference and quality.
if you don't care much about Brand names, then there are a lot of good ones for cheap on DX extreme site.
if you want specific brand names they go for a lot for the good ones.
other things to consider are portability, longevity of the battery, sound quality, capable of answering the phone or not, etc

Do you mean the music controls work e.g. let you control tracks?

The built-in Music Player app doesn't respond to the standard Bluetooth AVRCP headset control buttons. Most other music player apps will (I use Cubed).
If you want to use your own (wired) headphones through Bluetooth you may want to check this (or similar items) out: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8422
Could be useful if you already got a fairly expensive set of 'phones and don't feel like spending even more on a Bluetooth headset. Just a $13 bluetooth receiver that you plug your headphones into.
Might order one myself as the lack of buttons is a big reason for me refraining from replacing my MP3 player with my SGS (the others being the sound quality and battery life - I'm curious what the receiver would do to those two as well).
I used MUSIC MOD free from market. Its like Music Player on steroids. Double fast tap on mic button for next track . 1 tap for stop. Most 3rd party music players also support headset buttons. Just not stock player
For the OP:
I have a DXJG4 and run the stock music player with it. All my bluetooth stereo headsets have full avrcp support (play, pause, ff and rew). I use the Nokia BH-503, Philipps SB9000 and recently the Backbeat 906. All buttons work. And during testing a couple more BT headsets, all the buttons work.
However, recently I found out the BT in my phone "forgets" some headsets. And when they attempt to connect, they are either not in the list or connect using the Phone profile only (Media profile is not ticked).

I think I share your reservations about how it would affect the SGS's already not-too impressive audio quality.

Thanks - I will download this today and see how it goes with my wired headset!

Thanks for the advice! I think I might as well upgrade to bluetooth ones seeing as they are generally less hassle with no tangled wires etc! (downside is you need to keep them charged). Had a look at the BH503 but I'd prefer in-ear bud type earphones - hopefully there are bluetooth types somewhere!
I use the Jabra BT3030. Looks like a dogtag, but you can use your own headphones which is awesome, and all the controls work and it has a built in mic for handsfree calling. I have used a few bluetooth stereo headsets and this one is by far my favourite.
I just purchase the DR-BT 101 by sony,
and it works fine on the sgs default music player, as well as video player.
Been using it for 4 days so far, trouble free.
If u leave the bluetooth on your phone on, and close the music player, and press the ''on'' button on the dr-bt101, it will automatically turn on the music player by default, so long as it was the last bluetooth item you paired it with (eg if you were using a pc before this, it will pair with the pc if the pc program you used to pair it on is turned on)
Just a warning if you plan to use it on your pc as well, it has some problems with windows 7 64 bit. I used blue soleil drivers and that settled it.
also works with skype on both SGS and pc
I wouldn't mind posting a small review on the headphones if anyones interested
these samsung headsets work with the stock music player in froyo..
didnt work in eclair
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320553841349&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
one hit to button pauses , another resumes, and two hits skip forward a song
The standard headset (provided by the Samsung with SGS) is capable of changing music tracks through headset remote controls but for this you need a Power Amp Music Player which is available on Android Market.
Here is function which you can use with your regular Samsung provided standard headset
1 press: pause
2 press: next song
3 press: previous song
Why is everyone saying you need a special app to do these controls. The double click method works with the basic music player.

I believe the eariler posts were when the Galaxy S was in the 2.1 Eclair days. Now with the advent of 2.2 Froyo and 2.2.1 it seems Samsung have added this functionality only recently in the new firmwares.
Just recently bought a Bluetooth Headset for my Motorcycle Helmet, I'm on ICS right now, SCV7. The problem I'm finding is that no matter which voice commands app I use (Vlingo, utter, Skyvi, Voice Search) I can't seem to get it to use the headset's mic to listen to me!
But whenever I take a call the microphone works just fine. When I go into the headset's bluetooth settings it is connected as both phone and media. I've tried both by themselves but didn't get a change. Phone calls work and music plays, but voice commands just don't.
Anyone have similar issues? Any ideas?
Would this be a hardware issue with the headset? Hardware with the phone? Or Software?
On a side note: Noticed that music effects have been really buggy with the headset.. MusicFX and DSPManager go crazy, make it sound worse than without them, like the speaker is about to explode from all the static. (Tried all Loudness levels, switching songs, and tried all equalizer settings but I can't pin it down, sometimes it'll be exploding ear-screeching sounds but when I open DSPManager it's as if it finally clicks and makes the equalizer work again.. goes away next song)
Hey all. Been meaning to ask about this for a while now. A while ago for some reason, the volume of Google now when connected to the Bluetooth in my cars has dropped to being pretty much unhearable. I can't work out what's happened.
When I press either the Bluetooth button in my car to activate it, or the microphone in the widget, my music (Apple music or Google music prior) drops in volume but so does Google's volume and I can't hear it.
If I connect my phone to a Bluetooth speaker and try the same it all works perfectly. And if I'm just listening through my phone it works perfectly too.
I don't suppose anyone would have any idea what's going on? It used to be fine. And in my car is the one time I really need this voice stuff to work!
How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
