I have nexus s, currently unlocked and rooted, I would like to be able to use google music beta or native music up, if I could make them display unicode tags on my songs.
File names and tags are displayed correctly in the system, but not in any of the music players, that I've tested, except tiny player.
I would really appreciate an advice here.
Thank you.

hi all,
I'm looking for some way to use the Smart Playlist functionality in WMP (desktop version) on my Wizard.
I'm currently trying to learn a language and it's really annoying to be rocking out to my favorite songs and then here "blue....alabastru...blue" followed by a few more songs.
What I want to do is set up a Smart Playlist that will play all of my mp3's/wma's EXCEPT those that have an ID tag of LANGUAGE LEARNING. While I don't change out my music all that often, it does happen, which is another reason why I want a dynamic playlist instead of one that I have to manually open to edit out the language files.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Edit: In a perfect world I'd like to find an all-in-one media player that can play Divx and XviD videos well. CorePlayer and the like would be perfect, but it doesn't look like it supports dynamic playlists
Ok Folks before you flame me, please allow me to elaborate:
yes, i DID search (but couldn't find anything specific).
yes, I DID try several things on my own (see below for details)
yes, the things I'm looking for in specific seem to not exist in one package.
Ok, with that disclaimer, the setup
AT&T Galaxy note running Black Star V2 with Apex Launcher 1.2.2 / Android ICS 4.04. (Please note that these issues ALSO APPLY TO THE STOCK Gingerbread software that came with the phone).
Ok folks in short, I am looking for a music player that can do ALL 3 of the following (every single music player I tried, and I tried tens literally does 1 or 2 out of the following list, but not all):
1.) Pin-lock friendly lock screen music controls (my email is an Exchange acount which enforces a pin lock) [Poweramp does this well]
2.) Persistent player controls even when no music is playing (this is VERY helpful to start playing music after a while) [Cloudskipper is the only player I know of that does this!]
3.) Full bluetooth track / ID3 streaming to the stereo. I don't think this issue has to do with the bluetooth stack because the stock player and/or Google Play music both work. However, their UI (and/or lock screens suck big time)!
Software I have tried:
MixZing
CloudSkipper
Stock Android music player
Google play Music player
Apollo
doubletwist
Winamp
Poweramp
Rocket Music Player
Zimly
Songbird
PlayerPro
n7player
MusicXmatch
NRG Player
Astro Player
(and more that I can't remember off the top of my head).
Can someone please help?
PS: Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I had no idea where to post it.
I'd settle for option 3 only. I don't like the stock player either, but it's the only one that sends the music info to my carkit.
I haven't tried as much as you, but I haven't found any yet that do this.
Im with you dude, It would be nice if I could see what songs are being played on my deck. But android doesnt seem to be able to send that data.
If the stock player fulfills all your needs, except for the lockscreen, why not try installing widgetlocker as your lockscreen and using a music widget of your choice?
I need a new music player, as the stock samsung one dosent have certain things that i want. The features that i need are simple, but thete are a few musts:
1 simple ui. Nothing at all like poweramp. Im looking for a clean and simple interface, similar to the stock samsung player. (Lists instead of grids, etc.)
2. File support. It needs ro be able to play more than just mp3 files, the more the better.
3.playlist support. This is extremely important.
4.Notification area widget. I need the controls in the pull down area.
5.lockscreen music control. Im on 4.1.2, so i dont have lockscreen widgets. Poweramp lockscreen controls are good.
6.artists/albums/all tracks view, not folder view.
I have poweramp installed, it is not good for me.
There is a player called fusion, which meets all the criteria, but its volume is very low, so its no good.
I dont mind paying, so dont limit to free apps.
Thanks in advance!
SMART PLAYER is the best
i use Rocket Player, has lockscreen support and notification support like you need, albums are in a list by album name, supports playlists, supports diffrent music files, and has option to search for new music on both storages so no need to reboot when you add a new ablum

Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (rooted)

Try NexMusic, you can get it from the PlayStore. Has been my favourite music player ever since it got released. Locomain has done a fantastic job.
Also you can try Shuttle Music Player.

Hey guys - let me explain my situation first:
Devices:
Nexus 5, CM 12 (5.0.2 Nightly)
KDC-BT53U (Car Stereo)
Using the default CM-Media Player (Eleven Music), my car stereo works fine and displays every single bit of information via avrcp (title, artist, album -all working fine).
HOWEVER, when using Google Play Music, i can absolutely not get the text metadata to work. All the controls (Pause, next, ...) work fine, but there is absolutely no text visible at all.
The reason i have to use Google Play Music is because i'm using Tasker and AutoShare in order to start certain playlist(s) - which i can't manage to do with Eleven Music.
I have also tried to "force display" some text via sending an AVRCP-Intent (from the AutoShare homepage) which also shows no results.
Which leads us to my questions:
What the hell is wrong with Google Play Music?
Can i get Eleven Music to play certain playlists via intent?
Is there a way to get manual AVRCP Intents to work (might turn out useful for other tasks in the future)?

I wish I had a solution for you. I have a stock Nexus 5 and recently purchased the kdc-x998 (car stereo). I cannot for the life of me get any metadata to display on the receiver. My understanding is the x998 has avrcp 1.3, I cannot figure out what version the N5 has. Controls (play/pause, next) work fine, which are a function of avrcp 1.0. Most people that I am encountering in other forums report that their metadata worked fine up until Android 4.2-ish, at which point Google changed from BlueZ to Bluedroid for handling bluetooth. I don't know if this is the issue. The fact that you get it work using CM's player is unusual. I wonder if that player implements different intents than Google Play Music? FWIW, I can't get metadata from Play Music, Pandora, or iheartradio, the only three programs I've tried. Very frustrating......
Hello,
So I've always managed my music through iTunes, just because it's the easiest for me to use and all of my music is already there. I've recently found out that you can export playlists from iTunes to android phones (File->Library->Export PLaylist-> select .m3u format...). However, not all of my playlist is present when I look at it on the phone. It seems to be capped at 55 songs, which I thought was some weird setting but I realized there wasn't any rhyme or reason to the songs it was choosing to view. They were from the same albums, but the order in which it chose the albums was miscellaneous. I checked, and it isn't the app (Google Play Music), because I tested with Rocket and the stock samsung music app aswell. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, this is really annoying!
Thanks!
