Ive been doing research and searching around market but I cant seem to find a music widget that suits my likings. I really like the one that comes with sense but I cant really find one similar that has controls in the background of the lock screen like sense does. Anyone know of a good music widget?
The cube media player has that I think
Can't seem to find it in the market or on appbrain any links?
Pure Music Widget is pretty great, it can control the sense player. If you are using the sense lock screen you should get controls from that not a widget.

Hey Guys, apologies in advance if this has been posted already but could find no trace of it through searching! After a long and hard search for a music player for Stock/Cyan/Enom that looks good and works as well as the Sense music player, I stumbled across the ³ Music Player by Filipe Abrantes.
It uses a cube navigation GUI for your music collection which after a few minutes I found to be highly intuitive! As well as this it has settings for a cover art wall and also a morph flow similar to the iPod/iPhone and Sense music players. It also has lock screen controls that work, although they load up on the second press after the standard lock screen is displayed.
It auto downloads cover art, reads ID3 Cover Art perfectly, offers playlist navigation etc. etc.
After 2 days of using this I am highly impressed and have encountered no bugs, will be donating after a weeks problem free use!
Search for Filipe Abrantes on the Market or check,

Let me knows what you guy think!!
Thanks.
I like this app, but I stopped using it because when I selected to have it find my missing album art, it would find the wrong art and I could not figure out how to change it. otherwise it is a very good music player.

You can clear the cache in the settings and either try again or use standalone album art downloading app to get the correct art. It works perfectly with my ID3 and JPEG artwork although I had previously downloaded the art using other programs. That said, I had issues with NEMO, Mixzing, TuneWIKI etc with my ID3 art and none with this!
Just D.L looks really good. Just how do you fastforward in a song and maybe a widget for this would be awesome?
It already has what I believe to be very good widgets included.
Also, to fast forward the song you will see a grayish bar towards the bottom. You can click anywhere you want. This is one area he could likely improve just simply adding a more obvious texture...

It has widgets in all sizes, even one that mimics the sense widget i.e. the whole home screen!! You seek by tapping along the bar at the top (bar can also be moved to the bottom!), although as said in the post above it isn't as clear as it could be.
Honestly, I know how many people hate the look of the stock player and the one major feature of Sense UI people really want is the music app.... well I think this one is even nicer looking than that! I'd probably download it even if I was running a Desire ROM.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. I had followed so many threads and tried every player under the sun trying to get the nice experience that the Sense/iPod player gives and just so happy I now have something like it on 2.1.
Thanks
This is my fav music player, hands down.
You can change album art by longpressing the current album art for a song.
It does in fact have plenty of widgets... I have 7 homescreens, so I use the large one personally.

Hey guys,
I've just found two cool apps while i was looking for a music player that supports lockscreen widget. These two cool apps came by, the first one is LockGo which is a replacement for your stock screen unlocker. Cool thing I like about it is you can add whatever widgets you want to your lock screen (it's actually a launcher, but NEVER set it as a default homescreen launcher if you want to use it). You can also download other types of lock screens such as shout to unlock which i find is very funny lol. Another cool music player app to replace Mediascape is PowerAMP. I've tried many of the music players out there like DoubleTwist or MixZing and i didn't really like them. I think PowerAMP is a solid music player, you can download the trial version of it, i don't think the paid version is available yet. I love Mediascape but there're way too many flaws, speed being a major one. I'm on 2.1 now and i can definitely see the improvements, but i still find it really sluggish navigating through 200+ artists on my phone Hope everyone enjoys it I have nothing to do with the devs and both of them are free (for now), just wanted to share my good experience!
Hey guys,basically I'm looking for a music player app that lets you control your music (previous, play/pause, next) from the notification bar. Are there any music apps out there that have this ability?
Thanks.

Samsung Music Player. IDK how you'll get it though when you don't have a samsung device, since the notification bar music controller is part of the touchwiz UI.
I can't get Widgetsoid to show things in the pull-down menu..
Try CM7
The latest nightly builds of CM7 gives you the power to put widgets in the pull down bar to control your music. If you flash a cm7 rom and you go into cyanogenmod settings, you'll find them under 'widgets' there somewhere. So it would not matter what music player you have. It will control it for you. I hope this helps.
Thanks, but i'm not yet comfortable flashing my device. I'm too dependent on it that if something goes wrong, i'm f*****.
Plus my computer died one hour ago.

It didn't work on my Samsung SGS. Maybe if I start a music player first, it would work. But in that case, the default player is just better (for its controls, not in terms of overall features).
I really don't know why no one has tried to post the SGS default music player. It does not have all those features like PlayerPro, but having controls in the notification area (as well as a nice lock screen widget) really is great. If only it could be made to only play songs by folder...
better music player does this i also found on here if you search for the samsung music widget works pretty nice too!
Hi.
I tried using ADW Launcher EX. I like it, runs smooth, but i have 1 issue.
When i use it, i cant add 2 of the built-in Xperia-Play widgets. I cant choose "Music player" (the stock player widget), and i cant choose "Photo and Videos" (the widget with the scrollable Pics & Videopreviews).
Is there a way to enable these 2 widgets when using ADW Launcher EX?
Thanks
I know that the music player widget only works with the SE launcher.
Hm, that sucks...i like that widget.
Are there maybe some apps/widgets that do the same and look the same as my 2 missing widgets?
Well not sure about same look but PowerAMP is the best music player, its not free though but well worth the money. If you dont have a market account you can buy direct from PowerAmp website https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer&feature=search_result You can also download a widget plugin for it.
For free ones i dont really know since i use poweramp but try these; ?
Meridian Media Player Autonomy
Winamp
MixZing
Not sure if they are any good but it seems they support widgets. Dont know about a gallery widget replacment since i dont even use the stock one lol
They look nice, but i miss one tiny little thing. The stock Music-Widget shows the title-length, and a status-bar.
I'm also on ADWLauncher EX and purchased PowerAMP and IMO I like it more than the stock SE widget anyways. In the next version of PowerAMP, you'll be able to use custom made skins for it and I can't wait for that!
Did anybody find a replacement for the Photo and Video widget? I really love to scroll through my pictures and videos on my screen so I don't have to open the Gallery. anybody any ideas?
I love the stock SE animated Weather widgets
It's the only reason I use the Stock launcher since the SE apps won't work on any others
I'm looking for a widget that can pause/play/ff/rw tracks for MULTIPLE players including MOG, Spotify, stock player etc. Now CM7 seems to be able to do this with their controls on the lockscreen and status bar.. that's great.. but I want a widget that can do it as well. I've searched the forums and haven't come up with anything that fits my needs perfectly (tho there are some good alternatives!).
Any suggestions?

I tested Weapon 2.7 and the MIUI lockscreen, it has universal music controls as far as I'm concerned. Only shows when music is playing though. or a music app is running
