Hey guys,basically I'm looking for a music player app that lets you control your music (previous, play/pause, next) from the notification bar. Are there any music apps out there that have this ability?
Thanks.

Samsung Music Player. IDK how you'll get it though when you don't have a samsung device, since the notification bar music controller is part of the touchwiz UI.
I can't get Widgetsoid to show things in the pull-down menu..
Try CM7
The latest nightly builds of CM7 gives you the power to put widgets in the pull down bar to control your music. If you flash a cm7 rom and you go into cyanogenmod settings, you'll find them under 'widgets' there somewhere. So it would not matter what music player you have. It will control it for you. I hope this helps.
Thanks, but i'm not yet comfortable flashing my device. I'm too dependent on it that if something goes wrong, i'm f*****.
Plus my computer died one hour ago.

It didn't work on my Samsung SGS. Maybe if I start a music player first, it would work. But in that case, the default player is just better (for its controls, not in terms of overall features).
I really don't know why no one has tried to post the SGS default music player. It does not have all those features like PlayerPro, but having controls in the notification area (as well as a nice lock screen widget) really is great. If only it could be made to only play songs by folder...
better music player does this i also found on here if you search for the samsung music widget works pretty nice too!
A new version has been ported and released on the Evo, with cloud sync working. Would love it on my Inc. running SR3.5
Do you have a link?
hey fellas,
i don't think the app is new. a user over in the Evo section noticed that after flashing the latest CM7 build and replacing the stock Music.apk with the Honeycomb music app already floating around his sych/cloud services started to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980018
Here's a link to the Honeycomb Music apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/?j73zh5ld7bpcbqn
I installed it and it worked for me and my music synced in the cloud!
wait, so its already working for our Inc's? Does it have lock screen controls? That was another thing missing from the first leaked version. Also does it improve the volume levels at all? I have to listen at full volume for some songs. Im dying for a new music player, stock one is so bland.
I am not sure about the lock screen controls but I was able to install the apk and it played all the music

Does the cloud sync work?
anyone know how to get ringtones, system sounds, (non music) to stop showing up in the music app? i would like to see only music
I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone quite yet, it has a lot of bugs I noticed after just a couple minutes:
1) No lock screen controls
2) Notification shows content://media/external/...blah blah instead of the song name
3) The pause/next feature present while browsing your library disappears once you hit next (it's possible this was intentional but I tend to believe it's always supposed to be there so you can keep skipping while browsing)
4) Pure music widget crashes when trying to launch app (may be related to #5, not sure).
5) Not sure why, but after I tapped the notification a few times, now I can't even use it. Every time I play a song, it skips to the next one and keeps skipping every second or two to the next song. A reboot did not resolve the issue. The album art displays "buffering" before it skips, so maybe it has something to do with cloud sync, which I didn't play around with, other than selecting my google account in the settings.

Pure music never worked with Gingerbread according to my experience.
One more problem/thing I overlooked: what about shuffle and repeat?
Thanx for the info Xidexl, thats all I needed to know. Guess ill stick with stock. Hopefully new SR will come with a new player.
Couldn't we just rip the final version off of the xoom then that would fix the issues we're having with bugs and I've also seen the one on the xoom and it seems to be a bit different

Why need 4.4 API
Please add the ability to open your music apps from the watch app.

The 4.4 API added a new class that allows access to metatada from any music player. This did not exist before. There are hidden APIs prior to 4.4, but they are very hit or miss and most of the time artwork can't be retrieved.

Original Smartwatch
Hi rahilm!
Is it possible to make it compatible with the first sony smartwatch? The official Music Player extension doesn't work well with it, on Android 4.4 or its related to the outdated app. It starts or stops the music randomly when you wake up the watch.And it seems to take forever to load the app on the watch, the screen goes black when you open it and loads 10-20 seconds later.
If I am wrong and someone allready found a solution, fix to make the official app working with Google Play Music on Kit Kat please correct me and let me know.
Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work!

Hi,
We will look into it. The resolution is significantly worse on the original SmartWatch, so we are not sure how the UI will suffer.
Thanks for your great work. Is it planned to make it possible to switch betwen Albums?

Do you mean playlist switch and stuff like that? Unfortunately, that is too player specific and we want to support as many players as possible. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
As an update, we are still working on a solution for opening the music player. It is proving difficult with what is allowed by Android APIs, but we are still working diligently toward it.
DEVICE: LG Nexus 4
ROM: AOSPA 4.4.5 (20140729)
APP: Google Play Music 5.6.1609P.1258283
Whenever I am playing music on the Google Play Music app, it places a widget on my lockscreen to control the music. Many people see this as a useful feature for many good reasons; I personally do not. I am more than happy controlling the music via my default lockscreen widget and notification tray; I feel that this widget adds nothing of value to me, and instead obscures my default lockscreen. (Again, I'm not bashing the widget--it is simply not for me.)
So far, I have been unable to find any option to completely disable this lockscreen widget. It cannot be longpressed and deleted, and it is not listed in the Widgets. Basically, if I'm not playing any music, my phone pretends that it doesn't exist; and if I am playing music, the widget will replace my lockscreen without question or permission.
Is there any app setting, system setting, custom apk, xposed module, root hack, kernel hack, etc. that will keep my lockscreen intact as I play music? I want to play music from Google Play and see my default lockscreen widget when I turn on my phone. How can I achieve this?
I'm a long time lurker and first time poster; please let me know if I've broken any forum rules, and thanks in advance!

did u reported the error on google play , i dont find any error reported ?? please report it so that i can take a look into it why it is force closing
Would you please share an apk? I don't have the Google Play Market, but I wish to test your app. TIA
Just installed this player, it has a lot of potential! It would be good if you could add the following:
1. Repair the option to keep aspect ratio of album art, it doesn't work now, always stretches it!
2. Add option for separate artist images in Artist view, now it uses only album art
3. Add option for list view in the artist tab.
4. When you browse album tracks, the album art on the top is a low quality thumbnail, can this be fixed to use the same resolution as the now playing tab?
In the end, a question - What's the difference between marine and liquid players?
Cheers!

i will try to answer your query one by one
1)yup it is suppose to be stretching it, but it will be working as u said in next version.
2)will be added in future release.
3)it is already there in artist view
4)sure will be done in next release.
as per the difference marine is beta and 2.3+ supported and liquid is 4.0+ and perfertly stable release and will also gain many future feature updates.
I have been using your music player all day and I like it so far. I was using myplayer as my default but he changed the now playing ui and I don't like it. So here are my thoughts on your app so far:
UI: Very nice, looks very good and follows material much better than Google music does haha. I am looking forward to you fixing the album art cropping so the now playing screen isn't stretched.
2. Navigation nice and smooth moving around the app except for the now playing screen. When sliding to a different track it's not a smooth transition, you swipe and then a second later the art slides but it seems like there is a hesitation. Perhaps make it buffer the next couple of tracks album art so it doesn't have to load the new art each time as it seems it slows down the transition.
Also when you're in the navigation drawer and select a track to play it shows up on the bottom bar. I would like to be able to drag this up to show the now playing screen instead of having to tap it to open. Navigation should be about sliding and swiping and flowing smoothly. Once these issues are ironed out then you will have the best music player out there and I will happily purchase the pro version.

hi regarding your issue,
1. will be fixed in next version
2. yes there is a hesitation becoz it was never meant to be animated but i will see what i can do about the issue and if possible completely eradicate the hesitation.
3.there is a option in setting to open the slider when u play a song
I managed to install your player. The overall impression is very good. But there are few issues for me. First, I don't have lockscreen controls, even though it's enabled in options. Secondly, the player picked up my notification sounds from SD although I enabled the corresponding option. Now, I moved them to system partition and it solved my problem. And finaly: a song starts from the beginning, if the player was closed with that song paused. I wish it could remember the position. Thank you for your work

if u have enabled it then u need to play a new song to be shown lockscreen controls otherwise i dont how will it not be shown.
there is no option to disable notification sound showing in my app although there is a option to skip songs which are less than 45 seconds.
well it is supposed to be starting from where it was paused maybe a bug or device specific issue it works perfectly on all my 3 devices and emulator also

Let's make it clear: pause a song e.g. by pulling the earphone cord, then close the notification. After some hours I press play on the widget and the song starts from the beginning. Even if I tap the widget so it takes me to the "now playing" screen, where I see the progress bar telling me that a half of the song is been played, and press the play button the song jumps to the beginning.
I hope it's clear enough =)
