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!

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.

hello every one! can any one make the default music player have the option of control it from lock screen (next/previous/play/pause)?
i think no that's only available in MiUi..
yes we can but first we have to fix the cyanomod part in to the sysytem in the (CM 7 rc1) user interface control there is function to put music in!!
(the reason why i wanted)
Just give it time, good things come to those who wait and our devs are amazing
lol easy that we can

phantom works with SEMC music player, now? i've tryed it a while ago and it was very buggy.
you can use milocker, golocker, or widgetlocker
the default music player widget isn't compatible with widgetlocker. Never tested the other options.
if only some dev could make it work...

Try using the new Musik player! I found it over at the donut ics rom! Download DonutICS.zip it is a flashable zip.. It is a theme for stock 2.3.3...
Now either flash the zip, if you like it of course, or extract the zip and take the new semcmusic.apk
Change permissions and paste/overwrite it into system/app
Tested with widgetlocker and works ;-)
An other good music app is ubermusic.. It has widgets too but you have to pay for it

Hey there,
I've been searching around for a [insert volume rocker overrider thing here]. I've tried rocking shortcuts from the market, but sadly it doesnt work with com.sonyericsson.music ¬¬ i really like this feature, is there anyway to enable it? Because i've had it with my old walkman phone, and this feature is a must for me; example: When playing a game while listening to music, or while cycling and phone is in pocket, It really takes the piss to get your phone, unlocking go to your widget.
Volume controls on lock screens are to sensitive for me as my phone randomly skips/stops playing music while he's in my pocket.
I'm running WB 3.8 Thanks in advance
I really want it too....

With cm7 you can forward rewind on long press volume buttons.
Thanks for your comment, but as i said i'd like to have it with the stock music player on WB, stock 2.3. Since i don't like the other players like playerpro, poweramp etc. I've tried the playerpro one for 3 bucks didn't work, only works with headset. After that i've searched for a miui music (latest version) port for my rom, no luck again. Tried CM7 (z) but i really like the feel of the stock sony rom.

Allo mate,
I had the same prob as you, as I couldn't use the cm7 roms due to bugs. So wondered if there was an alternative. Did a bit of searching but it seems the only solution is cm7. I need it for driving. The bugs have been fixed so I'm back on cm7.
Seems shocking there isn't another alternative.
If you do find one, post it here. Just for future reference.
Cheers, Ben.

Absolutely. This is a must have!!
I vote for this feature too!
I am using Poweramp though. Any solution that works for Poweramp?
For those of you who don't use the sony ericsson music player: Rocking Shortcuts works for me well, the longpress feature isn't the best, but the double/triple press work well for me using cubed player, and I'm sure it works well with a few other players
gogo cubed!

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

I love touchwiz and i see we have 3.0 installed in the latest FP1 update... Where can i get rom that has 4.5 or at least 4.0 touchwiz... A stable rom please
Closest you'll get is Tweaked 2.0 with the Infinity theme.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Infinity has TW4, but it's EP4, and TW4 caused problems for pretty much everyone that ran it.
Also, TouchWiz 4.5 is just a Market app that just contains the launcher stripped of it's other stuff. It's not a real Samsung version.
Touchwiz 4.5 is not an official version. It is just the TW4 launcher hacked to work on other devices. You need to stop and read more before you break your new phone.

...?
While the browser is AOSP, that's about it. I removed the music player as it doesn't play nice w/ the lockscreen music widget (and google/play music is decent... dunno if I would consider an aosp player though, but maybe an argument could be made), and I removed a bunch of the widgets (which you can get back via the tweaktools script/utility).

I actually love the stock music player and added it back on in tweaktools because (I use the circle lockscreen) it has it's own pulldown widget on the lockscreen and controls in the notification bar that I haven't seen in any other music player. another recommendation for a music player would be great because this music player plays all of the music files on my sd card or at least in my downloads/music folder.

THe problem with the stock music player is that it eats battery like there is no tomorrow (or the rest of the day). In my experience it keeps the CPU at the highest clock speed, while the AOSP music player (available on market) sits at 200mHz-400mHz.
really? I never noticed that (although battery drain was obvious) but still no other music player has the play/pause in the notification pulldown. n7 music player has them but they dont work for me
