Listening to MP3 with locking buttons or screen, possible?

Hello,
I would like to listen to my WM(mp3 player) while my device is in my pocket with some type of screen lock or buttons lock. If I play music and turn the device off the music stops.
Is there anyway I can get around this?
many thanks
PocketPlayer does this...
Great software!
you can set the wmp so that you can toggle off the screen when playing mp3z...some helpful chap had a post on how to do this...or you can use apps like nodisplay or screenoff which allows you to switch off the screen and still play the wmp.
To answer my question.
What I did was used that togged screen fuction which turns off the screen and made all buttons set to play, which means pushing any button while listen to music would just keep playing it with having the screen lock on.
I have a wmp 9 and it has settings/buttons - > "un-map buttons during background play" but I could not find an option to turn the screen off, where did you find this option?
I suggesest GSPlayer!
It is an MP3/OGG player with veriy good sound quality.

This does not mean what you think it means.
The button settings you set in wmp are only active while wmp is running. If you set "unmap buttons during background play" the button settings you set are only active while wmp is in the foreground, e.g if you go to the today screen you will not be able to change to the next track using mapped buttons.
The option to switch the screen off is called "screen toggle". If mapped to a button, this will switch the screen on or off when you press on it.
I see many people not understanding these wordings, which is a shame, as with the screen off you can get similar play times to an ipod. With the screen on its likely you can only get 3-4 hours
Surur
FOR one button to lock and unlock , you can use software"displayoff".
FOR two button to lock and unlock , you can use software"screenlock", i recommand this one
both software just lock the screen, the Ops still process.
easy to search in Google
Weis Soft ScreenLock

is there any way to turn off the screen during music playback?

Hello, i have a touch dual and is it possible for me to turn off the screen while it plays music?? keeping the screen on seems like a waste of battery life.
thanks in advance
it depend on the player or if you have another screen toggle program
it all comes down to setting a key to handle sreen toggling
lol i tried looking in the button assignment part of windows media player and found it
thanks so much.... dint think of looking there
please tell us what you did...
can you please explain what you did, to turn off the screen while playing?
I have pocketplayer and it supports that.
But you can also use S2U2 to do it: Configure it to turn off the display after x seconds and while playing music just lock the device and put it into your pocket
Install CorePlayer.
Go to Menu\Options & tap Blank Screen.
In Start Menu u should also find a Shortcut named Display Switch.
Could also assigned to Hardwarebuttons.

Way to lock Wizard buttons while using as Mp3 player?

<sigh> Over the last few days, I have been reading up on so much, and am feeling the effects of information overload!!!
Quick question - Is there a way (or an app) to lock down the Wizard buttons/screen while using it as an Mp3 player?
Heavy snowfall today, so I was out shoveling snow, listening to music (mortplayer) from my Wizard (original headphones). Every now and then, I would press a button (or screen).
Is there a way to lock it down, so screen is off and buttons off, and only power button (or incoming phone call) would disrupt?
GSPlayer has an option to lock all buttons and turn display off.

Thanks for the tip - I've never checked out GSPlayer, so I will!
Otherwise, I gotta say that I really like Mortplayer, and the various skins that are available with it.
Mortplayer seems pretty complex - and it does have button lock functionality, which i am tinkering with as I write...

Remote Control

Now this might seem a bit daft but bare with me..
As anyone made a small remote control (bluetooth unit) that could be used on our phones so that when I am watching films I can do other stuff.. just a simple unit that allows me to control the phone without having to actually disturb my film - or touch the phone (fast fwd, vol etc) as every time I do touch the phone I have to navigate back to the film as it will automatically pause, put it back into widescreen mode etc...
..ok, stop laughing now...

Brightness using bezel

If i rotate the bezel i switch over to weather updates or news or other apps...
I wanted to replace this functionality and control the brightness level by simply rotating the bezel.
I use the "I am Awake" app to always keep my watvh face on.... only thing i want now is a some app which makes the bezel rotation control the brightness. I dont want to go to brightness setting and then use bezel rotation to lower or raise brightness... its too long process and cant do it everytime..
Any such app exists ?
The closest ive come to doing this is by setting double tap of home button to "open last app" option...
So i go to brightness option.. then press home button... then whenever i wanna change brightness... i simply double tap home button and the brightness menu opens and i can rotate bezel to increase or decrease brightness......
But i want to remove this requirement of double tapping home button also...... simply rotate the bezel and brightness goes up or down....
Fyi... auto low brightness option is not so good.... its not so responsive.... it is slow.... sometimes it does not reduce the brightness only...
So thats why i was looking for the manual quick option to inc or dec brightness by just rotating bezel
I know and completely get what you're talking about, it would be nice to be able to modify the bezel actions.
The problem is that the bezel action is programmed into the OS, and Samsung / Tizen doesn't allow a program to override the base actions when you are out of the specific program.
I looked into this before, but with music instead of brightness. Long story short, my car stereo had an AUX input, and instead of looking at my phone to change songs, I usually just take my Gear S2 and put it on the steering wheel.
Now to change songs, I can use the bezel rotation. But, I would have to have the home double press go to the Music Player. If the screen was off for. More than 10 seconds, the bezel would go back to the normal actions.
I looked into it more, and it just seems that you really can't override the default behavior....long story short.
