I noticed after flashing the synergy rom my larger music player widgets have gone missing and all I have are the 3x1 widgets. This goes for both the google player and the Music Player that came on the device. Anyone have any idea where those went or how to get them back?

Was wondering if it's possible to download an app to play music other than the stock media player. If so, does anybody have any recommendations for a good one?
Yes. Try cubed (cool interface) or mixzing(lock screen widget).
I use double twist.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I use doubletwist. I tried mixzing (love the possibility to get recommendations) but it shows all my compilation CDs as individual albums on the Album screen. Their only solution is to move all the songs to its own folder. Don't want to rearrange my library.
I have actually gone back to the stock music player as it actually indexes my playlists correctly. I am syncing my library using iSyncr and it seems all other music apps except the stock and doubletwist pull up multiple coppies of all my playlists with all but one of them empty.
I really liked doubletwists look and feel, but at the time the lack of a lock widget was a dealbreaker (not sure if they have added one yet). the biggest drawback with the stock app IMO is the inability to go forward and back tracks via the headset controls. But it seems even the apps that do have this still are flakey with the controls.
A friend bought bTunes and that also looks very nice and has the lock screen widget, but still has the playlist issue.
Does anyone have the latest touchwiz music player apk? I'm flashed to infused 2.1 and the songs are skipping. The music is fine on my computer and fine with Rockplayer lite. I'm hoping that reinstalling the music player will solve this problem.
Hello xda..
I have been on xda but on SE section..
I think there is no good music widget, on the device,
Any good music apps for this device?
PowerAmp, hands down!

I'm guessing you already have noticed the Google Music Widget (not that I would classify it as good)

Only problem with Poweramp is that it isn't free, $5, and while it is probably the best available for Honeycomb I still don't like it. For an expensive app its still missing a lot imo. I love Pure Music Widget on my phone but it doesn't work on Honeycomb. it's the best music widget out there, works with stock music player just provides hundreds of skins and has all the stock sizes with imbedded album art. Been a while since I checked to see if the dev had upgraded it for HC as he had with his calendar widget.
I dont understand why samsung removed the stock honeycomb music player?
the samsung music player doesent have a widget.. + it kills the album art too )
Does anyone have the stock honeycomb music app?
thanks and cheers!
kzoodroid iam gona try pure music widget for the time.. thanks!
Going to look around for the HC Stock music apk
the floating music player is quite good. simple to use, easy to access, no need to exit an app to use.

I don't think there is a stock honeycomb music player. I believe Google Play Music (Google Music) is the closest thing and its in the market. It only has the one 4x1 widget just like Samsungs stock music player and Pure Music Widget doesn't work with it only the stock player.
PlayerPro!
n7player
I use n7player, and it's fantastic. Best looking music player I have seen, and comes with a few widgets to apply to a homescreen.
There's a review here: http://www.reghardware.com/2012/03/20/app_of_the_week_android_n7player/
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?
When I updated to the Stock Rooted 4.3 update, I lost my ability to create a homescreen shortcut to a playlist for the Stock Music Player. I see the options for Google Play Music and PlayerPro, but I can't start a playlist in the stock music player. (Necessary for the A2DP radio in my car. It doesn't see PlayerPro.)
Does anyone know of a way to get that functionality back?
Thank you!
