HELP ! how to make the music player keep playing even the machine goes sleep

the problem i face is same as the title, i want the music keep playing even while i press the power button.
i have tried pocketplayer, S2P, kinoma, HTC audio manager (manilla2d built-in) and they stop while i press the power button to put the machine to sleep mode.
i search in google but i can not find suitable articles for me.
is there anything i could do with my machine ? i am using hermes with manilla 2d rom, but before i flash this rom, everything just fine, but now, it makes me so annoying that i need keep press power button every few mins .

I use S2P and S2U2 and have set S2U2 to only blank the screen and not power off totally after 45 seconds (you can just change this to the time you want). That way I can just let the display time out and the music keeps playing. I think you can use any music player along with S2U2 this way and keep the music playing with the display off.

Pocket Player works for me
I use pocket player, and that function works fine for me. Just make sure to change the sttings : menu>more>options>advanced>power options
The only problem I have had is with the newest version. The music keeps playing when I use the power button, but I can't control playback functions like I could in version 3.6
I wouldn't recommend any other player. I use pocket player on a daily basis for my work. I do floor contracting/installation. I listen all day through bluetooth headset(function supported by pocket player without adding any other programs like BT toggle). Also has EQ and a lot of plugins(support winmedia plugins as well).
Might sound like a salesman, but I've tried them all and pocket player is the best. I hope somebody figures a way to make HTC home support

Try buying a new phone, something like a smartphone that can play music while the phone is asleep.

Sleep Timer

Hi guys,
love my Leo the longer I have it.
Just one question: has anybody been able to find a sleep timer for Leo? I always fall asleep listening to music or audio book played with the built-in (music tab) player. On my HD, I used PHM Sleep Timer, ticked the option to suspend the device after timeout, it worked like a charm. Unfortunatelly, this doesn't seem to be working on Leo. I suspect the problem is that the sleep timer switches off the screen. The HD hibernated, music stopped, but Leo can play music also with screen off..
Anybody knows about a software or utility that would be able to stop playing the music by hibernating the device? I know that there are music players with built-in sleep timers but I like the music tab player and don't want to install another player if I can avoid it.
Any suggestions welcome

No suggestions?

Don't know a software that fits your needs yet. But how about quickly putting together a custom playlist before going to sleep? That's what I've done for quite some time even on my far "simpler" device like the N82. Want it to end playing in an hour or so? Just put in songs/audiobooktracks worth an hour and there you go.

Go locker and music controls ?

Has anyone been able to get music controls on the go locker screen? I think go locker probably does not support it. Was wondering if there was any workaround or anyone has a suggestion for better lock screen that supports music controls ?

have you figured one out? I have googled the crap out of it and came up with nothing. I like go Locker but I also like my music.

Unfortunately no. Go locker does not seem to have that support. There are other screen locker that support this.

Tactile Player
If you still want to stick with golocker and still want some music player controls, why not try Tactile Player from the play store (can't link until 10 posts). It uses your volume keys as previous/next and double/triple pressing the power key acts as pause/play.

the new go locker update now includes music control......
works pretty good too

true
New version has music control that u can enable from go locker settings.
its gives kind music toggle on lock screen which brings the music controls still its basic with just play/pause , next and back buttons . no info about song or anything.

Widgetlocker stops music player

Hi,
I have Galaxy S2 with Widgetlocker 2.2 installed.
It works fine expects for some music/radio players. If I set screen to turn off after 30s, then when screen turns off, music stops, as if the player could not keep one playing with a locked screen.
I uninstalled WL, the screen turns off and gets locked with the native android lockscreen but this time, music does not stop.
One more precision, this problem occurs only on players that are not multitask, I mean they have always to be on forground the work.
And problem with WidgetLocker is that it overtakes the process from the monotask player and so the player stops, wheras it does't with the classic lock screen.
Any idea on WL settings?

Intermittent Lock Screen Media Controls

Reposting here, I accidentally posted this under the Note II.
Running Codename Android, and as the title says, sometimes the media playback controls show up on my lock screen and sometimes they don't. I haven't been able to figure out what causes them to show up.
Apps: Google Play Music, BeyondPod
BeyondPod uses the stock controls of google play, or appears to. When playing podcasts, the lock screen controls are there about 80% of the time (so far). Is this a common issue? Is there any fix? Or alternatively, is there any free solution which puts universal media controls on the lock screen?
I have looked around and found widget locker, etc but I prefer not to use that.
