I'm on Slimbean and for some reason my music app won't find the music on my phone. Just like how the gallery won't find the pictures on the phone. Since quick pic solves THAT problem, I thought play music might solve solves new problem, but it didn't. So does anyone know if there's a way to edit the framework somewhere to tell either app where to look for music?

Give Poweramp a shot. works for me fine with slim. I store my music on my sdcard also.

Anyone using the Honeycomb music app? Im giving it a try it installed just fine for me. Works good and looks really nice. Give it a try, just google it.
Just got it. it works great and is better looking than the stock music player.

where is the apk?
Just Google "honeycomb music player apk". A bunch of links out there.
I like the player but the thing I miss is the ability to use the Inspires Dolby or SRS sound enhancements. They really make a difference.
I'm using it. It's pretty nice
Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire

Sometimes a really good pair of IEM's will cure the need for sound enhancers. IE7/8, Westone UM3, Shure 500 series. These top off the rack IEM's are why i love digital music.
i tried a couple of places but it never installs right for me
I just installed it two things bug me though. I there any way I could get it working as a replacement for the stock music player? Like making it work with the lockscreen and work right in the notifications area?
It's much better than stock even though it can be glitchy.

You would have to remove the stock app to make new one default.
I get the pause and play buttons on the lockscreen, is that what your talking about.

It must be because i'm still using sense. I'm going to flash a different lockscreen and see if that fixes it.
I removed the stock apk and sideloaded the honeycomb music player Is there a specific way to replace it instead of that?
where have you guys gotten yours? i want to use it but it never works
Is there any way to improve the sound quality, its not horrible but Im wondering if it is, on here Ive seen something like this for the galaxy S2
"samsung-galaxy-s2-sii-via-dsp-manager-cyanogenmod-7-music-player" guess you all will have to google it without the quotes because I cant post links right now since Im new, but it should be the first link that comes up.
Do I need to have CyanogenMod installed (Which we cant right now of course) to use this or is it just the player ripped from there and I can install like a regular rooted app
If I'm not mistaken it should just be a simple apk. You can dump it in your system apps folder or install it normally. Those apps.are just heavily skinned and tweaked to work with a broader spectrum of devices. If.you get the music player can u upload it here as well?

Yeah, go to settings/audio effects and you can set two different profiles, one for the phone speaker and one for the headphone port, check it out.

By default the music player has a bunch of horrible sound effects enabled. Turn them off and I think you'll find it's much better.
settings - audio effects
thanx for the input I went through and compared it with the stock and poweramp and im not noticing an extreme improvement in the sound to justify removing the stock music app Ill just stick with poweramp and i did turn off the audio effects and it does sound much better too
Really the music app im referring to isnt that great either to me its simple which is ok but I like the functionality for poweramp better ie.. player screen available when locked etc... but Ill try to remember to post a link up once Im back on my comp but if you dont want to wait for me to post the app up you can google what Ive got in quotes and it should be the first link
PA is my music player of choice too.

So, basically I recently modded my Samsung Captivate using the CyanogenMod and ever since then I've been wanting the stock TouchWiz music player back that came originally on the Captivate. I have the file and obviously my phone's rooted, but every time I try to install it, the apk install just fails with no explanation why. What can I do to get the stock TouchWiz music player to install on my CyanogenMod phone? Just, as a side note, I'm not all that experienced when it comes to all this stuff, so explain in excruciating detail, please.

CM is not a touchwhiz rom , that's why the install fails.

You can try too install samsung galaxy s4 mp3 player apk
Not going to work, the S4 runs touchwhiz. His best bet is to just try some of the many music players out there. There's a thread around about music players. Fyi I use power amp, and it seems like it's a popular choice around here around here also.

try another player.u can't get stock featurer on cm.
The issue is that I use iTunes and none of the music players read my album arts correctly whereas the stock Captivate player read most of them alright... I have yet to try DoubleTwist properly.

I have a question for anyone using Google Play music. Has anyone else noticed that when playing music using All Music uses much more battery than just On Device even if ALL of your music is on your device. I've noticed that in my data usage screen Google Play Music stays as the highest consumer of data which makes no sense as all my music is locally stored. Chrome or Play Store should be the highest user of data. I am only playing music that is store on my SD card and have noticed a time or two that when fast forwarding in a song it'll buffer as if it's streaming. I've also went to play a song a couple times and noticed it buffering as well. Anyone else seen this????
has your music been uploaded as well as saved to the device? if so it may not have recognized that.
thats the only theory I have as I had an album on my device that got uploaded but it kept them separate. The only way I could tell is if i went to save to device and it was blacked out.
Yeah the music is both saved to the phone via usb transfer and has been uploaded onto the Google servers. But yeah it seems like it is keeping them separated for some reason ei. if the song is both on the phone and on the server when All Music is chosen it prefers to play from the server instead of the phone storage.
Maybe try just downloading the music to your device and get rid of the stuff you manually saved. Not sure how many files we are talking here. And naturally, you would want to do this via wifi

I've thought about that but we're talking about 20GB+ of music. lol Which really wouldn't be a big deal except that after any clean flash of a ROM I'd have to redownload everything again.
Then there's no point on having your music on the cloud

That's how Google wants it though. It seems the only way to get album art working on the My Library widget is to upload your local music to google's servers but it seems in this case it is then streaming those files instead of using the local ones.

^^^^Exactly, this is why I uploaded to the cloud^^^^ Even if I used id editors or album art editors after every rom flash I'd have to go back and reinput album art that was missing. At least this way the art stays. I do think I've found the culprit though. I had been using Bank's core gapps on SlimKat which requires you yo download most Google apps through the Play Store as this gapps package contains minimal apps. After using SlimKat's gapps again which has Google Play music as a system app and not a user app, it seems to have gone away. It really shouldn't matter how the app is installed but it seems to have helped.

I've searched the issue after running into it myself and there are unresolved forum posts all over about it. Even using Album grabbers to replace already existing art hasn't got the widget to show anything but blank squares for some including myself. Of course while listening to the music the album art works normally and replaces the lock screen.
Editing the ID tags might do the trick you say?
Does anyone have this working on any other player except Google Play Music?
I simply can't get it to work with GoneMAD or Poweramp, however Google Play Music and Apollo (CM's music player) manages to show it just fine. It worked on CM11S on both Poweramp and GoneMAD so it should probably work in CM12S too. I have obviously enabled the AudioFX equalizer in both GoneMAD and Poweramp and tried out different ways to approach it like disabling all other equalizers, trying to turn one thing off and enabling the other and AudioFX itself works and the album art is shown in the background, but the lockscreen visualizer does not show in these applications. Completely stock except root, so no modifications done.
Anyone have any tricks to get this working or can at least confirm this is a problem?
have it working on spotify

Really? Because I just tried Spotify and it doesn't do it there either. Now, I don't subscribe to the service so I dunno if that has anything to do with it, but it certainly does not show the visualizer at the lockscreen except the album art.
I also tried wiping the device, formatting system, data, cache, Dalvik and installing CM12 from scratch with only GoneMAD and Spotify installed and neither of them did it then either.
i dont have it working either with spotify - was previously on cm11s
I just tried with Poweramp, and it works just fine on my phone... But I don't have all the other music playing apps, just this one... Maybe they're interfering with one another?
I changed back to stock theme and it works. It wasn't on elixium theme

Did not work unfortunately.
I've tried everything at this point. I even wiped the entire device (even internal storage) and installed everything completely stock and it still doesn't work so this is extremely strange.
My apologies, it was working on cm11 but not 12. I kind of like it and would love to get it working on cm12 if anybody knows how

Same problem here. Loved the feature on cm11. I thought they took it away on cm12 and was extremely dissapointed. I was randomly playing a song on google play and I saw the visualizer.
I realized its poweramp that is the problem. I dont know how to fix it, tried reinstalling the app but no luckl.
I had this problem too but when i use my bluetooth headphone, the equalizer show up on the lockscreen. When i switch back to my wired headphone, the equalizer goes missing.
The same happens for me. I have the latest CM OTA update as of time of the post.
I have only ES Explorer Media Player, I disabled Google Music and AudioFX but not force closed the latter, enabled the option in Settings-->Lockscreen, but the visualization shows only when linked to loudspeaker with Bluetooth
