Here's an idea that many sane people not using the standard headset might find useful - when the device is locked and is playing music, to use the HOME / WIN / BACK buttons as PREV / PAUSE / NEXT music player controls. Should be theoretically possible, what do the experts think?
either that or controling music from lock screen.
I am even up for a better music player that can use letters on the right (like iphone) scrolling too much is a big pain really

Hi!
I'm using my Touch Pro in conjunction with an A2DP enabled car kit to stream MP3s to my car radio.
Unfortunately when I use the prev or next button on my carkit the (sucky) Touch Music player responds to them, instead of the (not so sucky) Pocket Player, which I prefer to play my MP3s with.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
Thanks!
Same here. The Pocket Player guys over at the Conduits forum are looking for a solution...
I have the same problem. You can not use the pause/play avrcp buttons to control the player. If you try to pause any player you will accidentally start up the wmp.
I guess we have to wait for a new rom or program that can reconfigure the avrcp controls

I have the same problem, too! Help needed! I'm using the funkwerk dabendorf ego look hands-free system. http://www.fwd-online.de/content_manager/page.php?ID=17780&dbc=40e5f956c20fc998358f90e2240b457d
yup even if u disable touch flo 3d then it just opens media player, pretty annoying
Hi,
I don't know how to change the defaultplayer but it is possible. I like my A2DP to use the Touch Player.
However I had to reset my device to the factory settings because A2DP didn't use the Touch Player anymore, but only used Windows Media Player.
Therefore my conclusion that it must be possible to make A2DP use another application.
When I was looking on how to change back the A2DP to Touch Media Player a lot of people on the forums suggested to make sure that the application that you want to use is the default player for MP3 files.
So what applications opens when you click on a MP3?
Regards,
AJ
Hey, everyone!
So I've been using the Fuze for a while, and while I'm very impressed with how well it plays music (the last exposure I had to listening to music on a phone was not a good one...), I'm a bit bitter about the shortcomings I've run across on the simpler things. I wonder if anyone here could answer these questions:
* Does anyone know an app or background service that lets me adjust volume with the screen OFF? It's a bit inconvenient to have to unlock the phone every time I want to adjust the volume.
* Does anyone know of a lean and mean music player that supports gapless playback AND has at least a basic library that isn't slow? I tried Pocket Player (horrible library performance), Kinoma (no gapless and horribly laggy), S2P (great library, but graphics were distracting and no gapless), HTC's built-in player (pretty good, but no gapless) and Windows Media (need I say more?) and all of the other apps I've heard about don't catalog music.
Thanks!

for ur first question i HIGHLY doubt theres an app unless u have S2U2 as an unlock app, then u can change the settings where u can change the volume without unlocking
for ur second question, try nitrogen player, never tried it but i heard alot of good reviews for it http://www.dewantoro.net/search/nitro+player+WM
the only i use on my TP for music was the TF3D player and i havent experienced any problems with it, but give nitrogen player a try...
Libraries are going to be slow if you have a large collection. Try TCPMP or mortplayer-they use a file explorer instead of a library. The downside is that you can't play genres or all your music. You need to make playlists.
PocketPlayer has gapless playback and many other features. The only problem is that it is not integrated into manila.
Hi all, I am looking for a music app that's easy on battery.
Criteria: Must work without media scanner
I have disabled media scanner, so literally all music apps I got from market can't seem to pick up my audio files. One works -- Music Folder Player Donate. I am looking for something like it, that reads based on folders, or scans music internally, rather than relying on media scanner.
This app is all nice, but it is missing navigation controls in notification dropdown. I am looking for a music app that would provide me these controls too. I am not too particular on lock screen music controls.
Have you tried PlayerPro?
How about mort player, has a nice widget too. I personally use power amp. But i feel mort is just as good. And free.
I would first like to try a free one, n then can upgrade. And then it should be easy on battery too.
Edit: Mort is packed with so many features for a free app!!!
The trick is that you need to check if the player supports GAPLESS playback. Most do *not*. So any live stuff, albums that blend songs together (Pink Floyd is notorious for this) will get a nice annoying pause in between songs that was never intended to be there. Even if some claim they are gapless they in practice are not (believe nothing, test everything). The app needs to actually trim any small dead spot at the end or you will get a click or pop at the end of songs.
The only player I found that does this successfully is Power Amp but there could be others, I just haven't found them yet.

My main criteria is low processor usage when to maximize battery.
Mort is good. Of the time I had the player on and screen off, it was on 200 for about 90% of time. CPU foreground was only 14s for about 47 mins of usage.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to fix music controls on screen when using a music player on the phone. I hate that I need to go to my watch and slide to music widget so I can change the song, I feel like it would be faster taking my phone from the pocket and doing it from the lockscreen.
Thanks
Set up the music app as a double press shortcut. I did this and change songs all the time while I'm riding a bike. For further info see: http://www.wareable.com/samsung/samsung-gear-s2-tips-and-tricks-776
Best solution I've found for this problem (and others where persistent display is concerned) is to use Wearable Widgets. I use this to control Amazon Music, for example, on my phone from my S2. WW has a "watchface" which is simply the configured widget(s) from the phone.
Hello, I'm looking for a simple audio player that makes it easy to seek in a single file. I am not looking for features for handling multiple tracks such as playlists, libraries, etc. I am not looking for video.
I just want to pick a file and play it. It could be any popular audio codec, for example MP3, OGG, FLAC. While it's playing, I'd like to be able to easily step forward/back in chunks or easily move the current position forward/back. I want to be able to stop/start (pause) easily and wind forward back when paused or playing. If I had a physical deck then it would have a jog controller that allowed this kind of action.
I normally use VLC but I can't navigate easily within one file. The on screen interface is nearly impossible to use when you just want to jog back and forth a few seconds. I've tried using the position slider but it's unreliable and jumpy - you can't get the level of accuracy I'm looking for.
If I can make VLC do it with a plugin or something, that would be great. But another app that does one thing and does it well would be ok if VLC can't do this.
My searching has proved fruitless. So, suggestions for something simple (and free) ?
Well I found an app called "Maple JB" that is working for me so far. It has a nice feature where it can loop between two points. It lacks an option to keep the screen on which is a shame.
