What about PVStar? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.asbit.pvstar
I guess the advantage with this is it uses the official YouTube app.
PVStar is able to stream just audio in the background though.

[APP][2.2+] Shuttle Music Player

Hi all,
I'm the developer of Shuttle Music Player (formerly AMP).
Shuttle is a lightweight, simple & elegant music player for Android. It's based on the AOSP Music Player, with inspiration from the previous Google Play and the current Google Now.
Shuttle includes a built in equalizer, gapless playback (4.0+), queue support playlists, highly customizable widgets, sleep timer, scrobbling, dashclock support and more.
Shuttle has been on the Play Store for almost 6 months now, and is nearing 50.000 downloads!

Hey man, I love your app. Is the only player that works correctly on my phone :victory:.
Do you think there's a possibility to add ReplayGain support? I have some music that makes use of it and I can't enjoy them correctly because lack of that function.
I think it is Apple app when I see the shuttle

Thanks for the compliments, glad you're enjoying it. Replay gain is beyond the scope of Shuttle for now.. Since I use the Android API's for media playback, and there is no inherent support for replay gain.. So, it's not planned at this stage, sorry.
I think it is Apple app when I see the shuttle

What a pity... Still the best player, though.
Today installed Shuttle+. Like it very much,nice UI.Only issue I have : While playing music, the EQ doesn't open and the app force closes.
After noticing this ,in CWM recovery I wiped cache,wiped Dalvik cache and fixed permissions on my leaked 4.2.2 Samsung S3 ROM. Problem persists.Can open EQ when there's no music playing,works fine then.
Imo EQ should be editable when playing music,as in Google Play Music.
Any thoughts and/or advice on this ?
Necro-post! Hopefully the dev is still around?
I'm switching from Google Play Music to Shuttle due to the fact that I don't like the way GPM behaves in 4.4.4 when I swipe it from the Recent Tasks (it stops playback, which is mind-boggling nonsense for me).
Is there any way to Import the playlists I have on GPM into Shuttle?
It would be nice to have the apk available as an attachment on the first post or a link directly to apk, instead of playstore.

I didn't know about his community. I knew the app was actively developed, but when I wondered if he was still around I mostly meant I was wondering if he was around here on XDA forums. Apparently he isn't though.
Hey there, I want to start off by saying I love your app - truly a marvel of development. I plan on buying Shuttle+, but before I do I have a couple of questions:
1. What exactly does it mean when it says I can edit "some" tags? I seem to have an issue where the files I have added to my phone (OnePlus 2) that are of the same album do not go together, but instead create 2 or 3 separate albums. I do not have this issue with my iPod, and believe it is a tagging issue but I can't find any differences in the files themselves. Also will I be able to add or change artwork?
2. I have this issue where I am seeing double. But when I go to settings > apps > all, there is no "media store", but rather "media storage". Are these the same thing? Again, I am using OnePlus 2.
Thanks
Hi !! Just got Shuttle+ from the play store. I was looking for a nice alternative to HTC stock player (discontinued on the HTC10) and I found your feature-packed app wonderful ! Built in EQ is a great plus. Keep up the good work, glad to contribute by getting the pro version !
One feature I really liked from another app I tried (don't remember the name) is the possibility to blur the album cover on the lockscreen. Makes for a beautiful look while listening to music !
Thanks again

No way to control music??

It looks like there is no way to control music currently?
Until recently I have been using the Smart Extras Music app and Media Button control apps to control my music player (Google Music). Now that I have updated to KitKat, the Smart Extras Music app crashes.
Sony should be ashamed. This is one of the main uses of the damn watch. :cyclops:
I am developer by trade, so I will use Sony's API to create an app to do it, but it is infuriating that I have to!
This sort of stuff is the reason I sold my Xperia S and bought a Nexus!
I just picked up a sw2 and have the n5, willing to test for you if need be

A possible solution could be to find another working music player smart extension on the Google Play.
In my case the Sony music player extension no longer works after the latest update, so I bought this one and it works well with my S4 stock music player and it's also fast responding:

If you want to try, consider that if you'll not be satisfied with it you have 15 minutes to eventually ask for a reimbursement.
Re: No way to control music
Sony should create a application that could help in stoping and playing music from the Smartwatch
If you have poweramp player installed, you can use it's plugin. It supports SW1 and SW2.
And what about default app for SW1 - it works with both default player and poweramp. Don't know about SW2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.extension.music
Check this default app out.
Re: No ways to control music
Yes I did not find any way to control to music over smartwatch..
Works fine for me on my N4 with 4.4.2 in ART mode and Google Music. It sometimes takes a few attempts but then works fine. I just don't see any album art on the SW2.
Make sure you don't have some sort of task killer and that you didn't Greenify the Sony apps.
A Redditor created a new extension to control music. His one shows album art and also supports the new "low power" mode: http://www.reddit.com/r/smartwatch/comments/1ty29q/smartwatch_2_music_control
Ive solved this problem with remote widgets app and Its perfect.

I get:
Parse error
There was a problem while parsing the package.
Nexus 4, Android 4.3. I guess perhaps the guy has written it only for 4.4 for now?
I had a chance to have a closer look. It is a permission error:
Code:
permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri
I don't have the full text of the log cat entry, as stupid me didn't save it before factory reset my phone.
Anyway, it turns out the Sony music control app is getting a permission denied error under KitKat when it attempts to retrieve album art.
The work around is to root your device. I hadn't gotten around to rooting my N4 until now. My N4 is now rooted, and it all works fine.
It is a pretty piss poor effort by Sony that they haven't fixed this. On Facebook their excuse was that "their phones don't run KitKat yet". Big deal Sony, you market you watches to other brands of phone too. This is exactly the sort of attitude that caused me to sell my Xperia S and get a Nexus.

My Nexus 5 is rooted and yet the Sony extension has never worked well, in fact it's easily the worse part of the watch. I have had no problems with anything else, aside from the music app. I wonder how did you get it to work with root? Do you need to give it permission elsewhere?
The above app from the Reddit thread works nicely, very simple but, album art is sort of there and it only plays/pauses but, it WORKS which is the main thing.
Disabbling Google music in application manager on My note 3 makes the SW2 control music on the stock music player which is the one I like to use

Google Play Music: All Music Vs. On Device

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?
