I've done some searching around here and the market, and I can't seem to find a solution any where. I'm looking for a way to put music controls in the notification pull down bar? I think it would be convenient instead of having to switch apps or add one of those pop-up apps. Thanks.

Hmm. Also interested.
I believe some music apps have this built in, but it would be nice to have a system wide version
Bumping this out of curiosity as well. I was playing with my phone and listening to music and realized how beneficial this would be to have...
Although I haven't been able to find a ROM/App that does it yet...

MixZing does this. It also plays videos.
I'm using the incredible does sense desire port right now, and HTC has added a pause button to the pull down menu along with album art. It's very useful, but I still think that a skip button would be a plus.

Just tried mixzing and I'm not seeing notification controls.
I was really looking for a skip too, not just pause. I may have to try the HD port now tho.

if you do, what app do you use? the stock "music" app IMO is a bit trashy so i was wondering if anyone knows of a better one. plus, is there a way to not have the screen autolock (quite annoying)? thx!
I used to with my mt3g but can't find an adapter for my g2. I stuck with the stock music app.

Doubletwist is a close second.

MortPlayer Music. The best car features are the swipe gestures for playback control and the ability to lock the screen orientation.
I used Cubed. Think it looks the slickest. (If you do a search for Cubed, it's the one listed as the 3 cubed symbol).
Winamp

MixZing and I have a widget that I sit next to my MixZing widget that keeps the screen on at all times, perfect combo since I always have the phone charging in the car.
Doubletwist
Stock app, and I use Bluetooth audio streaming to SYNC and control playback via AVRCP. So, little to no interaction with the phone's playback software.
I'm liking the PowerAMP music player
it's here on XDA

I'm hearing good things about PowerAMP. I'll have to check it out.
Hey scrizz! I see you're in Tampa...I'm right across the bay from you!
Im using Winamp it works alot better than the stock music player. Another nice feature is when you lock your screen and you unlock it you can have it set up to change the track or pause the song without having to slide to unlock.
I use winamp, and I love it haven't tried anything else yet but its wayyyyy better than stock imo.

Adapter? You mean a regular 3.5mm headphone jack? You don't need a stupid adapter with this phone.

The music player was always in the notification area when music is playing. Did they forget the music widget? I can just download another player from the market I'm just curious why there is no music widget.
So any recommended music players and ones with a widget.

Because, you already have easily accessible music controls in the notification bar, a widget is not needed.

I agree it sort of defeats the purpose, why have two things running to control one app? And BTW the lock screen music controls look sweet too. I'm loving this phone so far...

I come from a long list of HTC phones, so naturally I love the Sense music widget. It fills a 3x4 space and shows all the info you need. Of course unless someone mods it, we can't have it on the Epic 4G.
A good one I used for awhile too was an app called PowerAmp in the market. It also has an awesome widget.

I use a combo of sorts. I use DoubleTwist to sync my iTune playlist and I use Winamp to play the music. I do this because I have found that while DoubleTwist will sync playlist it will NOT create a play list and display it on the phone. The native music app will display the playlist but the songs are in reverse order. Winamp will display the play list that DoubleTwist synced and the songs will be in the correct order.
On a side note I have found that the Sony Walkman MP3 players have the best software for playing music. The sound is so much better compared to any other device that plays music.
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but here is a "stock" widget for the Epic 4G Touch that is on the Android Market. Says it is for the Galaxy S, but I can CONFIRM that it does indeed work on the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Very simple, but it works very well with the stock music player.
Search Android Market for "Samsung Galaxy S music widget"
This is useful if you don't want to get another music player and need something for a lock screen replacement like Widgetlocker.
Hope that helps.

Nice one. I tried that app ages ago and it didn't work with gingerbread, working perfectly now though as the dev has updated it. My home screen has been crying out for a music widget since I left sense.
I was curious to see everyones music app of choice is? I've tried em all except winamp and slacker radio, but I think I'm gonna go with PlayerPro for a while....I love having the lockscreen widget back!!! (Missed that from using it on MIUI on my OG Evo) Anyways curious to see what everyones app of choice is!
None of the above - jetAudio Basic
I use Amazon MP3 which is not listed above.
Player pro. The gap less playback alone makes it worth using. Also the developer is friendly. We spent about a month fixing the blue tooth track display after I emailed him. I was very impressed at his level of support.

doubletwist, which isn't listed.
I like the stock on the SIII simply because it has the Cover to Pause feature.
That feature has been awesome to me especially when driving and I have to pause a song, I never have to look at my phone.
I do still like Google Play Music App, gives me access to a bunch of songs that are streaming off my cloud.
If only there was an app that had Cover to pause feature and the ability to stream music off of our Google Music accounts... :cyclops:

I like doubleTwist since I'm able to sync it with my desktop version and transfer and manage songs just like iTunes.
Topic. I'm using the default one for the first time since I've been using Android. On my evo epic 4g and 4g touch I always used player pro but since owning the s3 I don't feel a need to use a after market one unless someone ports over the xperia music player with working widgets.

+1 for poweramp paid. I don't buy many applications but Poweramp was the one of the first i paid for. And I'm soo glad i did.:laugh:
I used the built in player for a few days, but I saw no means to retrieve the correct album art, and lol that annoys me when my music shows the wrong art, so I started using power amp paid version :good:
Now you guys wouldn't happen to be the developers of this app hmmmmm? lol

This kinda moves the original question into another area, but how do you keep the ring tones saved on your phone from being played via the music player? I'm at the point now that I do not save music on my phone. I just stream it from my cloud. Thanks.

Most music players allow you to select which folders to add to your music library. Although others scan the entire device for sound files.
I like the option of storing files local. Works great for subways and airplanes.

I've been playing around with Music Player (remix) lately. Its still fairly new on the Android platform and the dev has some bugs to iron out, but the menu system is incredible. Almost everything is accessible from swipes left, right, up. $5 is a bit steep, try out the demo you might just fall in love with it.

have you found a way to fetch the correct album art with the tw music app?
I need to ask, is any body else annoyed that when you add a song onto a playlist in the play music app it goes All the way to the bottom to the playlist. So you have to scroll all the music to reach the latest song you added onto the playlist. Is there a solution to this, is it just me?
YES!!! So annoying. However, I used to use DoubleTwist and it did the same thing.
So you're saying that the app is adding songs to your playlist in the same order that you added them?! Must be a bug.
I like my apps to randomly order things without my input...

No, but i much rather be given the option to arrange my songs from recently added, down to oldest. It is much better then scrolling through 50+ songs just to hear the latest one i added to my playlist. Play music used to order songs like this but at some point it changed. The option would be nice.

Agreed.
This and the fact Google Music doesn't have a podcast subscription feature are my two biggest complaints.
I though it could be adjusted online? I mean, it sucks to have to do that but I'm sure they'll get it sorted out. I'll have to logon my computer (what's that??) and see if I can reorder a playlist.
