I have meridian installed that I use for my audiobooks. On my other phone I was also able to create a play q and then export it to a playlist. I could then create a shortcut to the playlist on my home screen. I have noticed that music playlist is not in the list of android shortcuts on this phone. Is it because of the music player that is installed? If so, could I remove it and push the one from my old phone over or would it not work? My other phone had a custom 2.3 rom installed.

Hi guys,
I really like the default music player because it shows you the album art on the lock screen. However, I can't find out how to enqueue a song or album to the now playing list. It always replaces all the songs currently playing and I don't want that.
I tried playing a playlist and then adding stuff to that playlist but that doesn't work either. Anyone got an idea how to do this or at least a music player replacement with the lock screen controls?
Thanks!
Oh, I forgot: On the Windows Mobile HTC Sense (Manila) Player this worked, so I'm thinking this feature must be accessible somehow.
Anyone?
You can hold down on a song and Add to Playlist, but you can't enqueue anything to add to what's currently playing.
To be frank, the HTC Music player is really poor.
So which player are you using? Does it have a lock screen?
I have the same problem on my HTC Magic since I updated it
Ok I used the application iTuneMyWalkman on my Mac to transfer files from iTunes to the phone. I was able to sync all my music perfectly but the Music widget will not play next track. If I click on the next arrow it doesn't skip tracks.
Now I have my songs in Albums and I'm guessing that's the problem. Is there any other substitute in the market that comes with a widget that you'd recommend or is there a fix that doesn't involve me taking the songs out of their albums?
****I can skip to next track if I go into an album but I can't skip albums with the button. ****
By the way I disabled Sense UI and I'm using the stock Music widgets.
Hello There, As im exploring The Captivates Somewhat good OS Tweaks of the Phone, Some people May Download better music players, Now the android music player definetly isn't the best one:/ So if you hate having to go ALL THE WAY to that one certain music app heres how to make The Original music player go to your Other Music Player So I was annoyed for days because the default music player was automatically popping up or playing instead of ZPlayer in my case. I could not find a exact answer online so with some determination I figured it out my self and hope this will help out someone else.
1st you want to go to your settings- click applications- manage applications
Click the All applications list, now go to every music player in your app list including your default one make sure the play by default button is not checked, if it is checked clear it. Then be sure that your force quit them all.
2nd now setting default player is not in the settings which is why its so annoying to figure out. Your phone comes with a folder called " My Files" if you haven't gotten rid of that, open that folder and find a music file and when you try to play it from there a choose player window will pop up. Now BEFORE You choose the player you want as your default click the checkbox first will have green checkmark. Then choose what player u want as your default from the list and its set.
To verify go back to settings click applications- manage applications- all applications scroll to the music player u set as default and the box at the bottom should now be checked as your default music player.

It`s great! thx!
I've been thinking about switching back to Play Music or ubermusic, but the default Samsung one plays nice with the lockscreen and that's just too convenient.
Just updated to 4.3 OTA. Like how you can make custom voice commands that launch from the lock screen. I want to say "play music" and have it open Google Play Music, but it only loads the crappy stock music player. Any ideas how to change this? Thanks!
Hey guys,
Currently using the Hellkat ROM but I had the same "issue" with JediMindTrick.
Issue is, even though I set Poweramp as the default music player in Android, some apps withe the option to launch music still uses the ROM stock music player when using such an option.
Example, Apollo is the stock music player in the Hellkat rom and after installing Poweramp I set it as my default music player. But when I select the music icon from within the Runkeeper app, it launches Apollo instead of my default player.
I searched for quite a few hours today and found some information related to "intent". I'm not a DEV some bare with my ignorance but tis apparently a way for devs to link to a stock app from their application.
So since Runkeeper and other such apps aren't giving the choice of which app to use when selecting the music icon and start the stock music app instead, I was wondering if there was a way to change the "stock" music app, by editing a conf file or something...?
Thanks!
Download an app to remove system apps from the play store and remove the offending app. It will usually clear the defaults if it's properly uninstalled and you can then set your default music player to your preferred one.
go to settings >> apps and get app info for the stock music player. clear the defaults and see if that works.
if not you can download titanium bavkup pro from the pla store and delete the default player so your phone has no choice but to use your preferred music app.
