Just been syncing some music to my TP2 and, rather annoyingly, the HTC music player will not play in track number order!!
If I use windows media player, the tracks play in their correct order.
Anyone else seen this - or got a solution??
p.s. No, shuffle is *not*turned on!!!

How do you disable the native media player on the Touch Pro 2 so that you can use your Bluetooth headphones controls to play another media player? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
I've never disabled the native HTC media player, I just installed another app (Nitrogen in this case), and I've had no trouble listening to that and controlling it through my BT stereo headphones
Thank you - will try Nitrogen & see it that does the trick.
Hey master, I was actually playing around with Nitrogen some more last night, and I discovered a few things. First....when I hit the "pause" button on my bluetooth headphones, it doesn't actually pause the player (like it does when I use windows media player on the phone), it just interrupts the audio stream going to the headset, the player actually keeps playing. And, for some reason, it also causes the HTC Media tab to pop up.
I'd never realized these behaviors until last night, but I thought they might influence your search for a media player. I know the BT controls on the headphones will directly control all functions in WMP just fine, but that's obviously not the best (and definitely not the "leanest") media player available and I'll be checking out other replacement options for it today too. I'll post back here when I confirm which one(s) work the way we want for the BT controls (aka "AVRCP" profile)
Sirphunkee, That's the issue I have with the HTC media player using Bluetooth. If I press ffwd or rew, the HTC player starts playing over the 3rd-party player (i.e. Core Player, Pocket Music, etc.). I would use the native player - if it had an equalizer (maybe I'm asking for too much, LOL) & WMP is "okay" at best in sound, but is a battery hog. Thanks again & now you know my pain,
Also, for some reason, my playlists don't show in Nitrogen.
Yeah, the reason I didn't realize at first that the HTC media player was kicking in is becasue I don't have any music in it's default folder, it's all on my SD card, so the HTC player pops up but just continuously shows "searching...", so it never started playing anything over the music I already had on.
But yeah, I'm sure there's registry keys somewhere that tell the phone what to do (i.e. calling up the HTC player) whenever AVRCP commands are received...if they can be routed to activate/control the HTC player, they should be able to be redirected to the player of choice.
Keep looking, I'm doing the same (well, whenever my boss isn't walking by lol)
Ok guys I have a small problem I have a bluetooth headset synced to my evo, the problem I'm having is that when I use the headset it plays with the android music player but I want it to play music with the htc music player instead. Any way I can change that?
Greetings. Im hoping someone might be able to help me with a very annoying problem im having.
I have somewhere around 2000 music tracks, all of which are uploaded to Google Music. Ive had GMusic since they first announced the beta and i love the fact that my entire library is everywhere I go. I also love that i can download the tracks directly on my phone, from my phone.
However using the app to play music is horrible. In the past i used poweramp, which is a wonderful player. My main problem with Google Music is it audibly cuts the power from the headphone jack in between tracks, so when i have it hooked up to my car stereo i hear a pop when the track changes... which annoys me to utter hell. On top of that it behaves weirdly some times, for example i had it set to shuffle all the other day, and it would stop on every song, and i would have to hit play manually to go to the next song.
What i would like to do is go back to using PowerAmp, but be able to manage my music as easily as i do with GMusic. Problem is that, PowerAmp doesnt see the music i download from the GMusic app and the one time it did, all the meta-data wasnt there. So all poweramp said was "Unknown track 1".
The other side of the problem is managing it on my computer. Since i bought music from Itunes and Google Music, keeping everything organized has become a nightmare(i have a number of compilations, and when you download the music from google music, it organizes it by artist not by the album). Which is why i dont want to have to manually move files to my phone. Ive tried WinAmp and Double Twist, and both have their annoyances. I was wondering what other people do, maybe someone can make my life easier.
subsonic, streams from your PC, no need to upload it to the cloud and it the UI is not bad either. it can also cache your streams for offline play
I have been having an issue with my phone and my music. All my music is organized by Genre, Artist, Album. After I sync my music with my phone, the Samsung media scanner starts up and scans my 2 SD cards. I then go and start the stock music player and all of the genres of my music have been changed. I have triple verified that the genres are correct using MP3Tag, Windows Media Player, and Winamp. I have even mounted the SD card to the computer and verified that the genres are correct. It seems that the Samsung Media Scanner is changing the genres. I have tried multiple music apps and none of them except for poweramp recognize the genres of my songs correctly. Poweramp has its own built in media scanner, that is the program itself scans the SD cards and builds its own library. I am not too fond of poweramp and would prefer to use the stock music player. The funny thing is when I stick my SD card into an EVO all of the music genres show up correctly in the stock EVO music player. So the issue must be with Samsung's media scanner reading the songs ID3 tags. Does anyone else have the same issue, and is there a way to fix it? Also, how does everyone sync their playlists on their phones? I currently use windows media player to sync my music. I also tried syncing my music with winamp but that did not work either, even with the winamp app on the phone. I am currently using PhantomHackers Blazer rom, and I had the same issues with the stock rom.

Changed it up a bit, I hope that is clearer. No wonder I was not getting any responses.

I have also noticed and been very annoyed by this. I usually end up using the Google Play Music when I want to listen to my music by genres.... I would love to know if there is a fix for this.
Hi all.
I'm trying out Tasker, and my question is this:
I'm trying to get a profile that starts actually playing music (does not open the app, but plays the music), but when I try to use Music Control or Music Play it plays music from the "Play Music" player of Google, and not the "Music" app of HTC.
Anybody knows how I can play music straight from the "Music" app?
Thanks!
In app management, go to play music and select clear defaults.
Next time you play a music file it will ask which player to use.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Tried it, did not solve my problem. my problem is that is detects it as default music player, not default music player to play selected files. I need somehow to change the default action of the media controls of the phone.
