I've got 4 or 5 thousand songs stored on the phone, and I listen to this stored music. I've tried a number of apps on the phone but haven't found one that allows me to fast forward/rewind while using the steering wheel buttons in the car (also doesn't with with dashboard radio buttons). Maybe there's an option for this but I haven't found it yet.
So far I've tried YouTube music, Music Player-A+, GoneMad, & Musicolet.
On a related note, YouTube music is almost useless for me as it seems to buffer for a minute or two at every startup, and then another 30 to 60 seconds between every song.
Thoughts?
BlackPlayer Music Player - Apps on Google Play
BlackPlayer is a Minimalistic music player
play.google.com
Just tried BlackPlayer. It does not interface with my car's controls.
You can try my UsbMode.apk to see if your steering wheel controls come through.
OTOH, the MediaSessionManager redirects KeyEvents based on which app currently has a media session.
USB Audio Pro works on my cars.

hi all...
i dont know if this was posted before...But I know there were many others like me that was looking for a way to fix this.
I am running DC 2.07.2 ROM...with Plantronics Stereo bluetooth headset:
I am running Meridian Player, and I can control the play back with the controls on my bluetooth headset.
Next song
previous song
pause
play
This might work on other music apps too!!
It does not work (bluetooth controls) with internet based music apps like: Pandora and TuneWiki.
before it would only control the HTC Music player. If I tried before while listening to music in any music player; it would start another playback in the HTC music app. I would be hearing 2 songs at one time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great!!!
THanks to Damageless and his devs!!!
I am running Fresh 2.0d and I use Mixzing Lite connected by bluetooth to a JVC BT-1 headunit. In the past I would have the same problem where using the bluetooth controls would start a new instance of TC music and I would have two songs playing at once.
With Fresh 2.0d the bluetooth controls work with Mixzing with one catch. when I press skip it will skip two tracks. I'll here 1 second of the first track adn then the second will play all the way through. Now sure if it is a 2.1 issue, a JVC issue or a Mixzing issue. Not a big deal though. Just happy I can play and pause.
That's really good news for me. I had given up on ever being able to control a 3rd party music app. Thanks for posting this!

it might be the JVC Headset or Mixzing
I use Phantronics Voyager and it only skips 1 song at a time.
You should download another music app and try that. I recommend Meridian Player
Hey guys - let me explain my situation first:
Devices:
Nexus 5, CM 12 (5.0.2 Nightly)
KDC-BT53U (Car Stereo)
Using the default CM-Media Player (Eleven Music), my car stereo works fine and displays every single bit of information via avrcp (title, artist, album -all working fine).
HOWEVER, when using Google Play Music, i can absolutely not get the text metadata to work. All the controls (Pause, next, ...) work fine, but there is absolutely no text visible at all.
The reason i have to use Google Play Music is because i'm using Tasker and AutoShare in order to start certain playlist(s) - which i can't manage to do with Eleven Music.
I have also tried to "force display" some text via sending an AVRCP-Intent (from the AutoShare homepage) which also shows no results.
Which leads us to my questions:
What the hell is wrong with Google Play Music?
Can i get Eleven Music to play certain playlists via intent?
Is there a way to get manual AVRCP Intents to work (might turn out useful for other tasks in the future)?

I wish I had a solution for you. I have a stock Nexus 5 and recently purchased the kdc-x998 (car stereo). I cannot for the life of me get any metadata to display on the receiver. My understanding is the x998 has avrcp 1.3, I cannot figure out what version the N5 has. Controls (play/pause, next) work fine, which are a function of avrcp 1.0. Most people that I am encountering in other forums report that their metadata worked fine up until Android 4.2-ish, at which point Google changed from BlueZ to Bluedroid for handling bluetooth. I don't know if this is the issue. The fact that you get it work using CM's player is unusual. I wonder if that player implements different intents than Google Play Music? FWIW, I can't get metadata from Play Music, Pandora, or iheartradio, the only three programs I've tried. Very frustrating......
I am looking for a free media player app that will allow me to use my steering wheel controls in the car when connected to the radio via Bluetooth. Any suggestions?

Greetings,
T-mobile Galaxy Note Edge (Lollipop ver. 5.1.1)
When playing mp3 music file using the default media player, the music randomly stops playing about a few minutes into the first song. player controls still work (player hasn't frozen), but no sound, nor is there movement from music slide bar indicator. problem is still present when I restart the music app. the only way I manage to get the media player to work again is to restart the phone, then the media function normally. Is there a fix for the default player app, or an alternative player app that can be controlled by the bluetooth accessories (bluetooth smart watch, or headset)? Thanks in advance.
You might consider trying PowerAmp - it's a pretty descent music player app with tons of features. Not sure about bluetooth actually but you go ahead and give it a try - it's a paid app but got trial.
btotaku - Thanks for the advice. I can fess up a "$1.00" for an app. Does this app have full android integration, I mean that can the app functions be controlled externally by bluetooth (volume, rev/cue)?
Not sure about this but hey, download it for free and give it a try for 14 days; if it works and you like it you might consider it.
I am running @da_anton's lightweight ROM and still getting slowdown issues. I noticed once the headunit bogs down, the tuner also starts having trouble. I think part of my problem is I have a large music library on my External SD and the music app seems to rescan it every time it boots. I want to total replace the music app and replace with something very lightweight like Eleven Player, but only if I can completely replace the existing app.
Since I am on da_anton's ROM, I am rooted, and know I can delete the default, but how do I get the replacement player to work as default so it has app priority when I select it? By that I mean if I have the radio on, and select music, the system knows radio sound stops and music app takes control.
+1 for that, I would like to use other version for music player as well, the way it sorts the folders is not good for me, need standard style, like pc folder style, not all folders at same time.
MtcdTools for set a steel button for:
1-next button
2-previous song
3-open the better music app: jetaudio
Hi,
Is there any way to assign third party app to Steering Wheel Controls command MODE so that instead of Radio -> Music -> Video -> AUX cycle thru Radio -> [My Music App] -> [My Video App] -> AUX?
Guys youl can get every other music player to work.
Just install it.
Now change buttons.
With dasaita greaser (even scip music with the round button, or ehith steerling whel is possible)
You can see it on my video.
Please skip to 4:40. And wait. I even show button functions and synchronizing mp3 with phone without pc, just music that's changed rating.
