I want to listen to streaming air traffic control from Listen to Live ATC (Air Traffic Control) Communications | LiveATC.net but when I play a stream I can either play in vPlayer or Streaming Player, but both apps turn off the audio when I do anything else... kinda defeats the purpose if I can't stream in the background...
Why would Android package in "Streaming Audio" app if it doesn't multi-task? Do people really just stare at a black screen that says "Live" for hours without being able to do other things?!?!?
Anyone have any suggestions for me?
Stream media player works fine in the background:
I am not allowed to insert links, but search for it in market.

This is for video from local sources... not applicable to my need for background streaming audio :-(

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I just played around with this app and it works PERFECTLY.
Lets me stream in the background. I have asked this question no less than 10 times in 10 forums, and nobody has had an answer. Thank You!!!!!
The only thing I can't figure out now is how to turn it OFF, hehe.
Then it was good I came along and saw your post.
I am only glad I could help you since I was in the same kinda desperate situation lately. I could listen to streaming audio with the built in media players and other from the market, but they all went to sleep when I backgrounded them. Pretty useless, as you have discovered!

Yeah, I agree, so strange they'd make a "Streaming Media" app when there's no way to stream without staring at a black screen. In several other threads people told me it wasn't possible in Android, but I assumed better so kept pushing, thanks again for saving my day
Hi,
is there a way to stop the android music player from using low resolution thumbnails instead of my high quality id3-tag album art?
I already found something at xda-developers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755844
and on the google forum:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=6a62bb7424f4784a&hl=en
But it seems like the problem has not been "fixed" (if google already managed to take it as a serious bug or issue in their own software) yet and the problem will also not be fixed in the future...
any ideas about that?
Welcome to the forum, I'd say just use a better app. I use PlayerPro and it looks and works beautifully. You can choose embedded ID3 Art, or download art through the player and if it downloads the wrong art (which rarely happens) You can look up art through PlayerPro and find the correct one and choose it in under 10 seconds usually.
yeah, but...
Thanks so far,
i installed the player... of course it is not bad, but i like to use the original HTC one, because of the sense integration and so on... i already tried a lot of different players like cube, or mortplayer music... but they do not fulfill my expectations...
so if someone could give me a solution for the basic problem... i'd give him/her thousands of thanks
So I have a very stupid question / possible coincidence. I've had this come up once or twice already. Since obviously the Google now launcher does the okay Google hot word, is it also possible for it to identify music as well as the hot word automatically? In both previous cases I was listening to music on another device but had my phone on the home screen. When I go into google play music it has recommendations at the top based on said music I was listening to despite me not listening to that music in play music for a few days. Is this just a coincidence? My odd imagination? I just find it really weird.
Thanks.
P.S. I should clarify that by other device I mean the factory no frills radio in my car.

It's probably just using the information from your last visit to the Play store. If you think about apps's that are made for recognising music songs, doing something like this via a Google search bar it would make the app rather large? I'm sure it's a small file size?
I might be wrong, but I'm guessing it's just remembered from the last time you used Play store, it could be coincidence if you listen to popular songs.
Tapatalk (application) is an android app that allows you to connect at several forum sites. It combines data and it is used by many users because they can switch forums very easily.

Apologies for the delay. Yeah, I guess it is a coincidence. I tried today to trigger it intentionally but didn't get it to happen this time. Just seemed odd though the first time around. Odd in a good way, anyways. I happen to like all the Google smarts and integration rather than fear it, personally. Not enough hours in the day these days to accomplish everything so the more assistance I can get, the better.
Thanks again for the response.
Hi, as yo can see, this will be my first post so......be gentle.
About you question, i think that the suggetions come from the info that you music player gather about the music you listen to, you can see if your music player "sees" what are you listening in senttings>apps> -your music player- >permissions.
I hope that you found this helpful. =D
Hello all. I just a Nexus 5 last night. I am really enjoying the stock Google Launcher. Two things I would like to do are:
1) tap/double tap the screen to wake up. Pressing the power button on the side is fine, but I would like something else when I am driving.
2) Pandora unlimited skips. I am not asking for free/no ads. I currently pay $36 as a Pandora One customer. I would just like to be able to skip more than 6 times.
When I rooted my Galaxy S5, it changed a lot of things on the phone - most for the better. However I am really happy with the Nexus and would love to keep it as stock as possible.
Thanks for any help you can give
Erik
1) You need a custom kernel for that, then enable the feature thru trickstermod
You can wake the phone when the screen is off by saying "OK google". To do this you must enable it in the settings of the Google search app or in the settings of the Google now page. It will only work with screen off if it's plugged in to power. As for the Pandora unlimited skips install exposed framework and get the module called "Pandora patcher". There are kernels to double tap to wake, but it's a huge battery hog, I wouldn't recommend it.

Thank you. If I install the xosed framework, will that change my Google launcher? Sorry for being such a newb...

You can use xposed with the Google launcher, you will need root for that though. Root doesn't change your phone at all, it will just give you access to install cool stuff. Xposed framework is the best way to stay stock and only add the features you want. As opposed to using a custom rom.
Iirc, GravityBox module has settings specifically for the stock launcher.

I have read thru a lot of the threads and posts you have commented on. I appreciate the knowledge you bring to the forum. Given your background in making custom kernels, etc. I would think you would understand the desire to tweak and improve upon software. I am a current subscriber to Pandora One and will continue to be. However I do not see how skipping 7 or 8 songs impacts their bottom line.
While I have never written Pandora a direct email, I have posted/commented about my displeasure of the song limit skip on their blog.
As much as we can tweak things with Android, there's a limit to what can be done with a proprietary, closed source service like Pandora.

in this case, google will be your friend. search google for a pandora with unlimited skips, only then will you be successful in this outcome. xda doesnt have the answer for you in this case. again, you didnt hear it from me :angel:

right, but the limit is there for legal reasons, not because we cant. and on xda we follow the legality. but google is indifferent.
Pandora One is nearly useless on mobile now. Mobile has always been locked to 64kbps (so you don't get the increased sound quality) and with the removal of unlimited skips all you get is the removal of ads. I'd honestly recommend switching to Slacker. It has higher sound quality even in the free version, and the "Plus" version still gives you unlimited skips. They also have a much larger music library so you don't get the same song playing over and over as frequently.
Edit: As far as the double-tap to wake feature, just keep in mind you will see some additional battery drain when idle.

I use Play Music for a lot of features it has over Spotify (caching radio, viewing songs that have previously played on a radio station, managing tags on your library music,etc...) but Slacker's still a great option for a free/$4 per month radio-only use.
I've been using a lot of rhapsody lately, and paid the $4 a month for it. I really love that i can listen to any album or song by any artist, that I want. and all skips are unlimited when listen to the "radio" with it.

I have play set up but the quality is too inconsistent for me.. I'm not gonna spend a couple of hundred dollars on headphones then listen to play through them.
There's nothing play has for me that is better than spotify, yet everything spotify has for me is better.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I was able to find a pandora .apk that has the unlimited skips. I also have Spotify with I pay $9.99 a month for. I have tried Pandora, Spotify, Slacker, Iheart, Amazon, Google PLay, Mog, Beats and another one that I can't remember the name of but the app icon is pretty. I just find the Pandora radio plays more music that I like and want to listen to. Example: Old school hip hop - Pandora will play Dr Dre, Tupac, Biggie, - all of their hits. Spotify plays the same artists but songs I have never heard before. Very few hits.
I will try Slacker again and see if I can make that work for me. I do appreciate the help guys - thank you.
Oh and I have given up on the double tap once I found out about the extra battery usage.

Play is 320kbps MP3, Spotify is 256kbps Vorbis.

Not true.
Spotify is 320 Ogg on extreme quality as it happens, much better than MP3
Play also depends on the source. If you upload something, it matches the album to files that already exist, based on tagging an audio signature. You don't really think they're hosting 14 million copies of Brittney Spears, Hit me baby one more time do you?

Anything that matches is matched to 320kbps MP3. It doesn't match to other people's uploaded files. Anything that's subscription based (which is a fair comparison, since Spotify doesn't even allow uploaded) is also 320kbps.
Ogg isn't CBR so I'm not really sure what settings Spotify is using. If they're saying 320kbps then it's probably q9. But Ogg is only better than MP3 at low bitrates, as you get up to 256kbps they're transparent to each other. A trained listener may be able to hear the difference on high-end audio equipment, but you're certainly not hearing the difference off of the Nexus 5's DAC. And I'd still say it's ridiculous to say that Ogg q9 is "much better" than 320kbps MP3.
Anyway, this has gotten completely off topic.

Ok, well I disagree but whatever
I'm wondering of there is an easy effort that I can do to disable the volume duck that occurs when I receive a notification (while listening to music)
Some ROMs have a setting g for this, but I'm wondering if someone could direct me to the proper file I might edit and turn this feature OFF..
I like my notification sound to just play over the music, or just not bother me..
Thx.

Pretty sure this has to do with what app you're using for playing music, and whether it uses the mediaplayer of your device or it's own custom one.
it's true, I hated the ducking but was able to disable it in PowerAMP settings.

Yeah, PowerAMP uses its own media service.
Is there a music player that has this feature that doesn't cost money? I'll pay for Poweramp if there isn't. VLC for Android, for instance, doesn't have this feature.
Edit: After some trial and error with various programs, I've discovered that MX Player plays back audio without ducking, but a drawback is that it doesn't have dynamic playlist creation capabilities (you need your files ordered in folders). It also plays Opus files, which is something that I was also looking for.
Another app, Rocket Player, will let you choose *between* ducking and pausing (under Settings->Sound->Audio Focus->Temp Focus Action), but it won't let you disable the action completely. That being said, I've found that for audio books and podcasts, I actually prefer pausing to ducking or no ducking, so I like Rocket Player in this respect (same goes with Poweramp).
guys,COS 12+ has this option in their OS. the question is there any xposed modules to do the same action like in COS ?? ( I'm not sure if it's available in CM12+ roms or not ) any idea?
Dirty unicorn have this feature and its working great.
