[Q] Bypass apps stopping my music - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I've been playing this game, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and it's a great game but i wish i could listen to my own music while playing it. I use PowereAmp as my default music player and i have 1000+ songs to listen to, but every time something is playing from PowerAmp, or any other music player, and i open Need For Speed, it stops.So my question is, is there any way to have PowerAmp running while simultaneously playing Need For speed? I am rooted so messing with some files isn't a problem for me
I tried messing with some app permissions but that didn't do anything :/ so ya. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Music Player

I was wondering if anyone knew of a better music player than htc's?
One of the main problems is searching for songs, scrolling takes a long time and if use the search button it repeats the song. Also I would like it to save my preferences on auto-loop and shuffle.
Was also wondering if what the best way to transfer music AND playlist from itunes to the evo.
And I have noticed my Ipod touch plays music much louder than my evo, is there any way to overide the sound cap?

[Q] Music Player doesn't normalize volume?

I have normalized the volume on all of my mp3 files using the MP3Gain application on my PC. This applies a factor to the file telling the music player how to adjust the volume for each mp3 so that they will all play at the same level. Otherwise, you get the problem that every mp3 starts at a different volume and you have constantly adjust the level.
Most well-designed music players will use the gain settings and make the level adjustment, but the stock music player on the Captivate seems to ignore the settings.
So, my questions are:
1. Does anybody know how to make the stock music player play nice with the gain settings?
2. Otherwise, does anybody know if there are other players which will use the gain settings.
Also, is the Captivate player a skinned version of the standard Android player? If so, does the standard player pay attention to the gain settings? If so, then maybe there's a hidden setting that will make it work on the Captivate. Anybody who's knowledgeable about this, please jump in.
It would be nice if an Android music player supported ReplayGain, yeah; I'm not sure if any do. It certainly would have to be a third-party music player. The only way to make the stock music player respect this would be to actually normalize the files instead of having ReplayGain tags. The downside, of course, if that this irreversibly changes the actual music files, themselves.

[Q] Organize music?

Hi all
Im kind of new in this operative system and i'm getting used to it, but I can't specify a Music folder.
Each time I start any mp3 player app, it plays my music and many game sound files that I don't want to hear.
Is there any way to select which folders must these apps search?
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my stained english!
The stock music player is not that great. I recommend poweramp, which is on the market. It can do almost everything you want from a music player.

Another recommendation for Poweramp.
Stock Music Players don't look beyond the default folder and this is where Apps such as Poweramp come into their own, you can customize it to look for other music stored on your phone or sd card.
It also has a graphics equalizer and you can boost the sound to play louder from the PreAmp list.
tinyPlayer - for playing music from folders. Basic, small (60 kb), efficient - my favorite.

Go with Poweramp and you will not regret it. It has the ability to play from folders, organize all your music for you and does it on the phone without using some of the more annoying apps out there!
just create a file called .Nomedia and place it in every folder you dont want to show up in the music app.
well, if you're like me, and you think 5 dollars is highway robbery for a music app, then look into something a bit more simple. I don't actually like doubletwist, but for someone new to android - it's cool because it actually syncs itunes to android as well as acts as a audio/video player (most players will solve your folder issue).
Poweramp is one of these really "I have everything" apps like Handcent SMS (an alternate text messaging app that everyone dies for, when there are plenty of equal or better options out there). Fact is, there are plenty of apps that have what you are looking for. Enjoy the market place, and read reviews. You'll find tons. My guess is since you didn't look there immediately, you probably are feeling overwhelmed and not using your android to its full extent yet. Forums are a great place to start. You'll also quickly realize that "which music player is best" is bound to get a bunch of people in twister - this month it's poweramp, next month it will be __________.

S-Voice not properly controlling music player.

Hey all, I'm getting an extremely annoying problem, in which when I try to play a playlist or specific song with svoice, it just starts the last song that was playing. I'm using the stock music player. This is really ticking me off, I haven't been able to find anything eguarding this problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Watch video and listen to music player simultaneously

I have a galaxy s5 g900t and I have been trying to figure out how to watch video (on mute) while listening to a music player but every time you press play on the music player the video will pause. Many people told me it could not be done without Jailbreaking my phone but after searching lots of apps and floating apps and googling the question I found a video player (dx) and a floating app (floating apps (multitasking) ) that allows me to do just what I want. The dx video player has independent L R volume controls which allow u to mute the video without affecting the phone''s media volume and the floating apps (multitasking) forces its music player to play no matter what else the phone is doing, it will even play music while the phones stock music player is playing music... the problem is that this floating apps application wants far too many permissions and I imagine it is a very heavy app.... I would like to know of another music player app that will play on top of other apps. I have searched through a lot. any suggestions of software would help also.. I am not experienced with rooting phones at all but if I need to I will do it or bring it somebody that can.. I don't love apps that require wild unnatural permissions. . My name is sky and I am in Denver CO in case anybody knows of a cpu savvy person near me. Thank you for your time.
