Default Music App?

Is Google Music the default music app on the SGN? (i.e. open a .mp3 from explorer, what is the default app that should open)?
Reason I ask, is my phone doesn't know how to open a .mp3 and Google Music is one of the apps I removed. It pops up a list of two apps I've installed when I select a .mp3 file. (ES Music player, or XiiaLive) but nothing for the stock music app.
Yep. It should open in Google Music by default.
Google Music will not pop up as an option if you have disabled it...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try this:
Default App Manager Lite

Unfortunately, it does not work. It cannot change the default music app because only the stock app is available.

Is there a way to change the "system" music player (used by intent)

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.

Zooper is defaultly launching Google Music without my permission

Well weird stuff happened. Its first time im using Zooper and I downloaded "Flat for Zooper Widget Pack". I downloaded Media Utilities too and only Spotify is selected for Music app in MTU. But despite of that, whenever I try to open music from widget, Zooper or MTU is forcing Google Music to launch. Widget is working well with Google Music. I mean I can pause music, change music etc. but I can't even launch Spotify with my widgets. Any help?
