Great app if you want one widget to control whatever media app you are currently running (I use it for spotify and Librivox).

I have done some searching but couldn't really find anything suitable, however if anyone knows of this widget already that would be awesome.
Let me explain: I use widgets to control my media but with four different apps (cubed, last FM, spotify, doggcatcher) the homescreen is rather messy. Would it be possible to make a widget which would control all the media apps on a phone? You would have a button to switch media player and then the usual, play/skip buttons. If anyone is interested in this I would be happy to sponsor them to make it.
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!
Sorry if this is addressed in another thread, but I didn't see it regarding the TF as of yet.
Does anyone know of a way to get music controls present on the Lock screen on the TF? I know that my rooted HTC Glacier with the Google Music application running gives me the Track Backwards, Play/Pause, Track Forwards controls, but I was at the understanding that it was the Rom that gave that functionality?
Is this something that would only appear or be possible via a custom Rom after rooting, or something that you would have to have via a 3rd party music app?
I hope this functionality is present in HC as it's so much more convenient to skip a song without fully unlocking the device just to lock it again when just casually listening while working or what not.
Thanks in advance!
Playerpro lets you do this. Well, actually it adds another lockscreen with the widget (see screenshot) - when you press the back button, it takes you to the stock lockscreen. Good when you want to just swap tracks, but means you have essentially 2 lockscreens to get to the homescreen.
WinAmp also has a lockscreen option.

Thanks for the great tips. Had not heard of Playerpro, nor did I know WinAmp offered this functionality. Here's hoping to the Google Music App having this functionality so I can take advantage of the cloud music and have the controls from the lock screen.
Hi is there anyone notice about the music apps frequently change or stop the music automatically when you lock the phone?
And at times it automatically call my phone contacts...

Not to completely hijack, but I too have a question about a music player and don't want to put up a new thread:
Does anyone have a recommendation for an app that is: low-resource, devoid of lockscreen freezing/dialing (no exp with this, but above poster made it sound terrible), and supports control via a2dp/bluetooth?
I frequently use my phone as my GPS in my car and would like to be able to run a music app in the background that I can control from a bluetooth headset. I assume that there are some "simple" music apps that require fewer resources in the background.
Does anyone have a recommendation? Is the sensation powerful enough that any old app should run fine in the background?
Best,
NR

PowerAMP hands down is the best application I have used, and trust me, I lost count of how many different ones I have tried. It isn't cheap though at $4.99, but give the 2 week FULL trial a test drive and see if you like it. I liked it so much I bought it. It has all the features you requested above.
When I add a RSS feed it gives the option for an inbuilt podcast app, but it is nowhere to be seen. It is not in my apps or part of the walkman app. When I access all apps from settings there is something there but no way to use or go to it. Is this a fault with the software?
Check movies app. I was able to add a podcast there. Removed it because I prefer pocket casts.

I know this is reviving a very old thread, but for newcomers, the podcast app is in the Music app as well for the Z3. Personally I find it to be nice and clean and have deleted Pocket Casts from my device in favor of the built in option.
