[Q] music app that specifies audio output (bluetooth and headphone) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll start by explaining what I want to do...drive in the car using vlingo connected via a bluetooth headset (requires stereo or a2dp to function). At the same time, I want to play music on my car's stereo via the 3.5mm headphone connection. But the music defaults to the connected headset...
Is there an app for nexus s that allows you to force music to play through the headphone jack while still allowing vlingo to send audio to bluetooth?
My old samsung galaxy s's music player could do it... When I asked the developer of player pro, he said it would require a device specific player to be able top do that.
Any ideas?

Yeah afaik it sounds like it would have to be an app developed specifically for the nexus s. It all depends how the architecture handles which audio is sent to the ear piece and which is sent to the speaker.

Anyone want to mod the stock player?

music - bluetooth to stereo possible?

just as the title says, is it possible to send music via bt to my stereo just like when i make or recieve calls?
not that i'd use this as a sole way to listen to music in my car, but i just started wondering if it were possible, and if so, how?
It's possible, but you have to make sure that your Stereo has the bluetooth profile for A2DP. It's the same pairing process, but instead of only streaming call audio it will stream any other audio too.
Also, the stereo will have a headphone icon under bluetooth preferences.
Hope this helps.
I do that all the time in my car. The sound quality is not as good as hooking up a cable through th aux jack. The nav direction also come through my car stereo.
Ah yes, I forgot about A2DP being needed... That would make my situation impossible... I'll just have to get a 3.5 mm to RCA plug for aux... Thanks guys.

I had some trouble with this, but the key for me was making my Pioneer head unit "forget" my previous phone. Now it works great!
Actually there is a way to stream music wirelessly to your car stereo: mini FM transmitters. Quite cheap on ebay. I wouldn't bet on audio quality tho.

Can WP7 stream hi quality music via Bluetooth?

With WP7 having Zune so heavily integrated, I would imagine that MS will have considered that some of us will want to play the music that we've downloaded with a Zune pass on some speakers, rather than headphones.
Clearly there are not going to be any speaker docks out there for WP7 phones as they're all slightly different shapes & sizes so what I want to do is get a bluetooth receiver to put into the aux input on my ipod speaker dock and stream music from my Omnia7 to the speaker dock using something like the Bluetooth wireless audio receiver from Belkin.
Is this possible? As the music downloaded with a Zune pass is DRM protected, I can't just copy it to my itunes/ipod etc so bluetooth would seem the best way.
I stream music from my HD7 to my Toyota's audio system via bluetooth, and it sounds absolutely fine to me.
Yes

Hi all
I use a HTC 7 Mozart with a Jabra SP700 which connects with both the HandsFree profile and the High Quality Audio Profile (A2DP).
I get very good sound quality via the device over A2DP.

I have connected a Chordette Gem to my Hifi Rack and transfer music via Bluetooth from my WP7 (and Laptop etc)
High End D/A Converter inside (24bit and up to 196kHz), so you can expect audiophile sounds

The other thing is that you don't want to have the phone volume all the way up... Correct me if I am wrong, but you want to let your amplifier doing the amplification - not your phone. I put my phone on 20/30 and it seems to make a difference in my Ford. It will also not force me to turn my system all the way up in my car.

Yes!
I have just the perfect thing for you.
Here is what I use everyday:
http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-AUD-1100-06-6-Feet-Stereo/dp/B000SE6IV8
It works perfectly.
Nonono, I haven't AUX or cassette player in my car :-(
Jabra makes a Bluetooth speaker phone that transmits through fm radio. Works perfect for me

I use a Parrot MKi9000 for this. But if your car already has the Bluetooth setup, it also has to support the audio media profile. If it doesn't, there's nothing you can do to get all your audio to run through it. If it does have the audio media profile, you can simply tell your bluetooth settings to output media audio to your car's bluetooth.
It's been my experience that the majority of stock vehicle head decks that have bluetooth for the phone do not support the audio media profile and just support the phone hands free profile.

Depends on the model of your stereo in your vehicle. I've got a Ford Puma and it only has a CD player. After buying this http://www.thompsonsltd.co.uk/Conne...7-02/CTVFOX001.7/OEM-Head-Unit-Interface/Ford I can now plug in any mp3/phone/ipod via the 3.5mm jack.
This is what i use just plug into car cigarette outlet and turn to match station and it works. Simple

My Bluetooth audio plays all through my head unit? I only have a cheap tv chinese thing

[Q] Bluetooth takes precedence over AUX to play audio

I'm in my car a lot. So I like to listen to podcasts, Pandora or music from my Infuse. The problem I'm having now is that I just got a Bluetooth speaker that mounts to my visor.
What's happening is when I connect to the Bluetooth speaker and I want to listen to music instead of the music going through the auxiliary port it plays through my Bluetooth speaker. The only way I can fix this is to open my audio player (I use the one that came installed on the infuse) click the menu button and select "via phone." Then I get my podcast or music to play through the auxiliary port.
Is there a quicker way to do this or an easier way? I can't just open up Pandora and with my Bluetooth speaker connected have it play through my auxiliary port. It always defaults to playing through bluetooth if it's enabled and connected. I have to manually open my music player select a song then hit menu and change it to "via phone"
Its just frustrating. Any help is appreciated.
Dont think so. Why dont you just take your calls through the AUX port instead? i do that and it ways works fine. As for your bluetooth issue. Since your visor clip supports A2DP streamig it will automatically play through bluetooth since its connected

Optimus-Prime,
I suppose I could take my calls through the aux port the only thing is I have to jack up the volume to be able to hear the person on the other end. I also have not tested the quality of using my phones speaker vs the quality of the visor mounted Motorola Bluetooth device. I'm hoping/thinking the Motorola will have better audio quality. This I have yet to determine.

Audio Issues with a stereo audio cable

I'm having issues trying to do 2 things with my Galaxy Skyrocket.
1. Trying to use the Line In function with my computer I only get a mono feed, but when using the OEM Stereo Headphones I can pull stereo audio without an issue. This appears to be an issue with both Pandora and TuneIn Pro.
2. This issue also shows up when connecting to my cars Line In port on the receiver. Again, only showing/occuring when using TuneIn Pro and Pandora, otherwise I can listen to ANY other music source without mono issues.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
