Hi
Have recently got a Sensation XE, replacing an iPhone 3GS. Have been really impressed with the HTC however the one thing I miss from the 3GS is the ability to start playing music using voice commands. I stream music to my Bluetooth car stereo all the time and it is therefore useful to be able to choose the music I wish to listern to using voice commands whilst driving.
The included Google Voice Search doesn't support music commands and so I have tried Jeannie with a view to purchsing Voice Actions Plus. However the HTC music player doesn't appear in the list of applications that are controllable by Jeannie so although Jeannie can recognise the command it only offers a choice of YouTube or TuneIn radio to complete the command.
I installed Winamp which Jeannie does work with, however when playing music with Winamp, I get conflicts between Winamp and HTC media player when using the controls on my stereo to start/stop and skip tracks using bluetooth, so for example instead of stopping the currently playing song in Winamp, it also starts playing music through the HTC app!
Does anyone know of a way to control the HTC media player with voice commands or could suggest alternative combinations of voice control and media player apps?
Many thanks
Mark.

hi all...
i dont know if this was posted before...But I know there were many others like me that was looking for a way to fix this.
I am running DC 2.07.2 ROM...with Plantronics Stereo bluetooth headset:
I am running Meridian Player, and I can control the play back with the controls on my bluetooth headset.
Next song
previous song
pause
play
This might work on other music apps too!!
It does not work (bluetooth controls) with internet based music apps like: Pandora and TuneWiki.
before it would only control the HTC Music player. If I tried before while listening to music in any music player; it would start another playback in the HTC music app. I would be hearing 2 songs at one time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great!!!
THanks to Damageless and his devs!!!
I am running Fresh 2.0d and I use Mixzing Lite connected by bluetooth to a JVC BT-1 headunit. In the past I would have the same problem where using the bluetooth controls would start a new instance of TC music and I would have two songs playing at once.
With Fresh 2.0d the bluetooth controls work with Mixzing with one catch. when I press skip it will skip two tracks. I'll here 1 second of the first track adn then the second will play all the way through. Now sure if it is a 2.1 issue, a JVC issue or a Mixzing issue. Not a big deal though. Just happy I can play and pause.
That's really good news for me. I had given up on ever being able to control a 3rd party music app. Thanks for posting this!

it might be the JVC Headset or Mixzing
I use Phantronics Voyager and it only skips 1 song at a time.
You should download another music app and try that. I recommend Meridian Player
Hi folks,
I have an HTC Desire running InsertCoin HD/Z port 1.8h ROM at the moment. I have just bought a Motorokr S9-HD and so far it's working reasonably well.
The major bug I have with this is the music control feature. It seems to start Meridian player and control that instead of the default HTC Music player I have already running. It has a weird effect of both music players streaming two different songs at the same time! Ever heard Evanescence and Ottmar Liebert playing at the same time? Not nice!
Anyone else encountered this problem with the S9-HD or any other bluetooth headset?
Thanks,
D.
I installed the new android music played on my desire and noticed if I'm using the default player and use the controls on my pair of s9s it controls the new player.

That sounds promising - where can I find this music player, and does it have widget for the default HTC lock screen?
Thanks.
Try the PowerAmp music player app, it has a dedicated BT button management and I'm loving it with my Motorila S9.
I've been toying with different music players, and all of them except the stock music player (as far as I know) on my Sensation 4G (the tmobile one) do not play nicely with Navigation.
When the music cuts out on the stock app, the music pauses, navigation says the direction, and music resumes normally. However, when using a non-stock music player (AFAIK) it will pause the music, faintly (almost inaudible) say what I can only assume is the direction, and then resume the music. Has anyone else experienced this issue and, more importantly, know how to fix it outside of just using the stock music player?
NOTE: I don't think it's Sensation specific, as a thunderbolt user has the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114107.

Yes, I have the same problem in a different way. I have downloaded a "Svox" TTS & when I have the navigaton in background while the Youtube streaming on top, the navigation is almost can't be heared so I will go back to the stock TTS & see the result.
+1 copiliot/google maps with anyplayer (stock, playerpro, etc)
also had this issue on desire and SG2. Did fix it once by installing a newer CM7 and full wipe, what changed I dunno!

Hi all,
Running Endymion and have done some touring this week. I use copilot for navigation and wanted to listen to music at the same time. Every time I switched to the music player then back, copilot seemed to restart. Also, music was very choppy as if the phone couldn't cope. My music is sac+ 48k parametric stereo (so I can fit lots on my ad card. Ad card itself is 6xspeed.
Anyone recommend a way to navigate and listen to music at the same time? Happy to change music player, navigation program and even Rom if I can get it working well.
Thanls

I use winamp with music and sometimes play games while doing that.. Music does not stutter at all but the game seems to lag a bit from time to time (not that bad though). Haven't used endymion for some time but from what i recall it was snappy and fast, so don't think that the rom is the problem.
At the top of my head i can suggest to mute the nav software so that it and the music sw don't "fight" over which will use the speaker..
Try that and let us know.
Cheers!
Hi, I also using WinAMP for listening music. I didn't try listening music while navigate, but I'm using IGo navigation software and it didn't crash when I switch between another applications on my DS. So, I suggest, use IGo. BTW, you can find a lot of detailed maps for it in the web.
Hi,
Is there any way to configure which music application will launch when I press music buttons on my htc headphone (the ones which came with phone).
I'm running ViperS 1.0.1 ROM and have 3 music apps installed TTPod, Google Music and HTC Music. Currently the buttons launch TTPod even when I'm listening music on HTC music player and TTPlayer is not even running.
None of these apps are set up as defaults.
I tried to search around but couldn't find anything useful.
PowerAmp...
