Media players & Bluetooth Controls

Has anyone noticed if bluetooth headphone buttons can control any other music players other than the HTC Player since the update?
I have tried several music apps (Mixzing, Meridian and a few others) that support a2dp control but my headphones will only control the default player. I have even removed the HTC music player completely from the phone (hoping that the button control would get reassigned to another app) but then the button just doesn't work at all.
The only clue I have comes from the "mixzing" player forum:
http://mixzing.freeforums.org/post92.html?hilit=bluetooth#p92
I got my headphones (Sony Erricson HBH-IS800) after the update was released so I don't know whether or not this is new behavior?
I'm just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this. I'm not a big fan of the default player and would like to get away from it.
I should add that I am using the "Unofficial" Modaco/Obelisk79 2.1c ROM and also the Optimization made by ruskiyab.
I'm curious too. My previous phone (Palm Pre) allowed whatever music app was playing to be controlled via BT. This included Pandora which was very convenient in the car.

I can't get it to work with any other media player including Pandora.
I think I may make a nandroid backup and then flash back to pre-update stock to see if there's any difference.
Don't bother. I checked that my first day with stock ROM. Functions exactly as the custom ROM's do.

Lol! Thanks for the warning. I was about to attempt it while sitting here at Jiffy Lube.
There's got to be a way to fix this. The guy who posted on the mixzing forum sounded like he was onto something with the button priority assignments for the different media players. I don't know how to change these and probably should not mess with it anyway.

how do u stream music

im tyring to stream ww.66raw.com and i have tryed many ways and cant get it to work.

Kinoma Play does a really good job of streaming sources. It's the only app I've paid for and keep using on a regular basis.

[Q] Given Priority to Winamp instead of Google Music? (non-rooted)

So when you hit play from a bluetooth device it seems to be pure luck as to which player will start on android.
Is there anyway to alter this behaviour? The phone in question isn't rooted, and won't be. Since this is the case I can only remove the updates to the Music player, but it's still there and will randomly take priority over winamp.
I've always experienced this no matter what media players I'm using. Sometimes it will just start playing on the regular app instead of the app i want

Solution
The Solution is: Install old winamp 1.1.1

[Q] Stock mp3 Player reverses song order in Playlists - Ideas?

Hey guys,
I've got an odd problem with samsung stock music player on my note 10.1.
Every playlist I add to the device is (dis)played upside down. At first i suspected isyncr, which i use to sync my Itunes with the note, to be the problem - but it turned out it is not.
I already did the following:
checked the m3u playlist isyncr generates with a text editor - everything fine
cleared data of stock music player
cleared data of "media storage"
created a playlist with a 3rd party player (amazon) => reverse order in samsung player, correct order in poweramp, player pro
created a playlist with samsung player => reverse order in 3rd party players (amazon, poweramp, player pro)
searched the internet and xda
asked samsung support for help - twice
Internet knows a similar problem with samsung fascinate without any solution, here on xda i found an old thread which i suspect describes the same problem on a different device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404735), but also without a solution or idea.
I can hardly believe there is such a bug in the stock music app and hardly anyone steps into it. I also find it hard to believe that samsung had this bug in Fascinate's music player, fixed it in the Galaxy S2's (which i also own and doesn't have this problem), just to re-integrate it in the Note 10.1.
Samsung support is not able to give any qualified answers and rather tries to force me to use kies (which I even tried, but despite its poor performance cannot help me with this problem). I will, however, try to ask them a 3rd time.
The Problem existed in ICS ROM as well as in Jelly Bean, which arrived about 2 weeks ago (XXBLJ9).
Any Ideas what I could try next?
If you read this and don't know an answer either, you can still help me by verifying the problem on your note 10.1 - just create a playlist with for example amazon mp3 (playlist, not album) and open it with samsung stock music player. Would be great, thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Oliver
Okay...seems like nobody has an idea how to solve this...no problem.
You can, however, also help me by just trying it out, takes about 1 minute of your time...is nobody using the stock music player and any other player?
As Internet isn't full of complaints, i suspect that it could be a configuration specific problem with my note. I am willing to wipe it in that case, but as it is not rooted i've got to restore its current state manually after that - which might take some hours So I just want to make sure that there's a chance that wiping helps me with my problem.
Anyone? Can (or can't) you confirm my problem?
Thanks and Greetings,
Oliver
Same issue on Samsung Droid Charge

Hi,
I have had my Samsung Charge since it came out. That problem has always persisted on my device. I find it extremely frustrating as the point of a smart phone is that it is multiple devices. I would like this to be my main music player as well since it has an external 32gb SD card and so can hold quite a bit of music.
I am not a developer (I do do technical support), just decided I am trying to figure out - AGAIN - why it does this. I just downloaded a trial of PowerAmp. Don't know if this might help you figure out the problem. Power Amp shows my synced playlists from Windows Media Player not as a Playlist but as a music folder under folders. So far I have synced just one playlist as a test. In the folder in powerAmp, it is in the correct order. In the stock music player it is in reversed order.
I paused in typing, and after syncing multiple playlists at one shot, the list in Poweramp is garbled. The first try created a single folder with all the songs from the playlist in correct order. Now with the sync of multiple lists, I do have a couple like above but the rest either didn't come across or the music came across but not the playlist. The stock music player also has just some not all of the playlists I synced. The music is all in reverse order.
To me this suggest that problem is with the implementation of the sync on the device itself, given you have the same issue. My guess is it reads and writes the playlist from bottom up. I think there is also a burrering problem since it never seems to bring all my lists over and if that happens only some of the music.
Hope this helps, would like very much to know if you find a solution. Samsung is close to losing me as a customer over this. I care less about browsing and connectivity and more about multi functionality. A music player that works is important to me, and am considering an HTC or maybe even an IPhone (!!!) next time around just because of this - and my next upgrade is in 60 days. I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS SAMSUNG!!!

Hi Oliver,
Just discovered that my Amazon MP3 cloud player has all my playlists I just synced (except one) and the songs are all in the correct order. This is confounding to me as I previously had the same reversed order issue in this player. Not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I went into the file system dorectly and deleted all the contents from themusic related folders before doing the sync for that one then multiple lists. Not sure what happened with that one list, might be related to the fact that it is a custom CD mix ( old school club music, I need the beats for running!). Am going to try syncing that list as I really like the music that's on it. This would seem to contradict my thinking above though. Seems the issue is with the Samsung stock music itself, not the sync. HTC/Apple here I come...
Galaxy stock mp3 Player
I have Samsung Fascinate and it has the same problem with stock mp3 music player. Songs on playlist are reversed. I also tried a few other players but they are not convenient.
So as previous says we can use Amazon mp3 player and widget. It works good for me. It remembers when I paused and even after reboot. So decided use it. It doesn't interfere with other programs (I use in my car navigation app - Navigon). So its very convenient listen music and have navigation.

Music Apps for Note 4?

Hello,
I will be getting the Note 4 soon which should be running kitkat on it, I'm hoping someone could recommend some good music apps to use on it, as one of the reasons I'm getting the note 4 is to play all the MP3s I have. I'll take recommends on both free and paid apps and not looking for anything fancy. Just something that shuffles all the music I'll load up on it.
Thanks for any help.
Why not use the stock one that comes with it? I have not had any issues with it.

I wasn't sure if there were better apps than the stock one. I haven't gotten a chance to test it out yet.
I personally very much like N7Player. Has a very good equalizer and plenty of options. (The UI might be a bit confusing at first for some.)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer (Free timed trial, after that you'll need to purchase the unlocker).
thanks for the recommend, I'll look into the app.
Hype machine
Rocketplayer
Flipbeats
hotspoters
PlayerPro
this is the hot player as i thought .
the one that i used is musixmatch
is a good app for music it comes with lyrics
Spotify music stream, musixmatch if you want floating lyrics..
