Hi guys
is there an alternative music player widget thats usable with google play music? i dont want to replace the google music app, i quite like it. but i would appreciate a widget that allows me to directly control volume and maybe even the trackprogress like its possible directly through the app. does something like that exist?
I would be insteresting too. The one from NexMusic is awful compared to PowerAmp.
Media Utilities offers widget to control your music but it seems that the widgets were created during Cupcake era
Was using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jackthakar.musicwidget , before Google Play Music get its own widget.
I just use Zooper.

Was wondering if it's possible to download an app to play music other than the stock media player. If so, does anybody have any recommendations for a good one?
Yes. Try cubed (cool interface) or mixzing(lock screen widget).
I use double twist.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I use doubletwist. I tried mixzing (love the possibility to get recommendations) but it shows all my compilation CDs as individual albums on the Album screen. Their only solution is to move all the songs to its own folder. Don't want to rearrange my library.
I have actually gone back to the stock music player as it actually indexes my playlists correctly. I am syncing my library using iSyncr and it seems all other music apps except the stock and doubletwist pull up multiple coppies of all my playlists with all but one of them empty.
I really liked doubletwists look and feel, but at the time the lack of a lock widget was a dealbreaker (not sure if they have added one yet). the biggest drawback with the stock app IMO is the inability to go forward and back tracks via the headset controls. But it seems even the apps that do have this still are flakey with the controls.
A friend bought bTunes and that also looks very nice and has the lock screen widget, but still has the playlist issue.
Would anyone know which podcast app has lockscreen controls? I've tried current versions of Doggcatcher, Google listen and an older version of Beyondpod. Paid or free, it doesn't matter and I would much rather NOT use Widgetlocker. Thanks
dont know man... alli use is beyond pod... i thinks it's te best out...
I use pocketcasts
I use pocketcasts, which, by the ways is the best podcatcher in android(Ihave tried them all) but no lockscreen controls. What a great idea. I'll email the dev.
Would you know if pocketcasts downloads and tags the podcasts as mp3 files? If so I can use a seperate music player with lockscreen controls to playback the files after they are downloaded like mortplayer or winamp. It's a cumbersome solution, but I listen to a lot of podcasts and really need lockscreen controls!
yea
It does download the MP3 and tag it somehow. It shows up in my other music players. Not a good solution. Please let me know what music player you use with lockscreen controls.
Hello xda..

PowerAmp, hands down!

I'm guessing you already have noticed the Google Music Widget (not that I would classify it as good)

Only problem with Poweramp is that it isn't free, $5, and while it is probably the best available for Honeycomb I still don't like it. For an expensive app its still missing a lot imo. I love Pure Music Widget on my phone but it doesn't work on Honeycomb. it's the best music widget out there, works with stock music player just provides hundreds of skins and has all the stock sizes with imbedded album art. Been a while since I checked to see if the dev had upgraded it for HC as he had with his calendar widget.
I dont understand why samsung removed the stock honeycomb music player?
the samsung music player doesent have a widget.. + it kills the album art too )
Does anyone have the stock honeycomb music app?
thanks and cheers!
kzoodroid iam gona try pure music widget for the time.. thanks!
Going to look around for the HC Stock music apk
the floating music player is quite good. simple to use, easy to access, no need to exit an app to use.

I don't think there is a stock honeycomb music player. I believe Google Play Music (Google Music) is the closest thing and its in the market. It only has the one 4x1 widget just like Samsungs stock music player and Pure Music Widget doesn't work with it only the stock player.

n7player
I use n7player, and it's fantastic. Best looking music player I have seen, and comes with a few widgets to apply to a homescreen.
There's a review here: http://www.reghardware.com/2012/03/20/app_of_the_week_android_n7player/
I play music from Google Play Music at my work with my phone on wireless charger. I would love to be able to glance to my phone and see the song that's currently playing, coz I have bought quite a lot of albums and not sure which is which.
Is there an app (maybe if not I will write one) that displays the music being played? The one on lockscreen is perfect, but I can't keep the screen on on the lockscreen.
I managed to use dashclock + music extension, but the words are too small.
With music streaming app like Tidal, there is no way to play next on lockscreen. The widget just doesnt' show up like stock player does. Is there any way to fix this? Your workaround is much appreciated. Thanks.
Got the same problem with Spotify. I noticed that the version B152 shows the widget. The updates after B152 doesn't show it anymore..
that what is always see
updates fix one error
damage alot else
The same happens to me with Beyondpod and PocketCast podcasts apps, and with Eleven music app.
But lockscreen controls appears with Google Music App.
I do not understand, it so hard to make all programs can have their lockscreen controls in Huawei Emui??
I hope some solution comes in form of a flashable zip or else.
Same here with Apple Music. No music control widget!
