Maybe it's right in front of me and I'm crazy but... Is there no music widget for the stock music player?
I searched a few threads already and I can't seem to find the answer. Sorry if this has been explained/asked before.

You already have widget. It shows up in the notification bar when playing music.

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'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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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...
-Flawless
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.

Try Phantom Music Control from the market. I am pretty sure it can do what you are wanting. It is supposed to work really well with widgetlocker.

Might I also suggest Player Pro. There are a lot of customization optons and skins and such. Yeah, it costs $4, but i think it's an awesome music player app.

Honestly I think they both suck but if I had to choose between those two it would be Apollo. Google music caches random things I never asked it to and doesn't cache what I want it to. I use doubletwist.
BOTH
At the same time!!!!!!!!

That's not what was asked... apollo or google play or gtfo... I don't like either, but apollo sucks way less than google play music.....
Google play music, just because of the cloud (only on wifi, not 3g) and the default settings are perfect for car audio. I've played with the Apollo just couldn't find anything that makes it stand out from the abundance of music players on the market.

Apollo is garbage, I was just giving another suggestion because they are obviously not the only music apps. Gtfo? Ok
I use Apollo with the Black theme. I can't say I love it, but it plays music and has the "Hold volume UP to skip" feature... which is really all I need (I use Shuffle All while jogging and it's nice being able to skip a song I dont want to hear without needing to even look at my phone). Last time I checked the Volume UP skip didn't work with Play Music.
I do wish Apollo would get an update with more features, neater UI, and do better with album art.

If it's only used for cloud then it's ok. I live out west so when I leave urban areas service its spotty so I have to have music on the phone as well. Google music doesn't cache what I tell it to. It just caches random things so because of that I say it sucks.
Power amp could be good. It has a lot of features but the interface sucks.
you save music for offline mode before you leave the house. Google Music because of the free cloud service.

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:

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.

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:

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.
