Edit: Also works on Wicked v1.3 with PowerAmp.

Can anyone get this working in Pandora without having to kill Google music and the stock music player?

From my understanding, you will have to kill the stock music player (or delete it, I did). You may be able to use Google Music if you delete it as a system app and install it from the market (no guarantee, haven't tried it). I use Poweramp instead of the stock music player and it is much better! Works flawlessly with this mod. Have used it on Frosty JB v10 and Wicked v 1.3 & 2.1. Hope you get it working!

I killed google music and it started working with Pandora. I tried installing Google music from the market and get the same behavior...Pandora not skipping tracks. That really sucks because those are the only 2 music apps that I use.

check this out....
I had launched pandora... used it with the vol-rocker to skip tracks. everything was good.
I paused pandora by unplugging my headphones (autopause). I unfroze google music
Next, I opened google music to play some music, turned the screen off, and then tried to use the volume rocker to change tracks.
guess what happened? Google music stopped and pandora skipped to the next pandora track. I had to go into pandora, hit menu, then hit quit. After this, the music skipping worked perfectly in google music. Unfortunately, google music doesn't have a similar "quit" button.
conclusion? This volume rocker mod is not doing a good job of figuring out which music player has focus.

This was mentioned in that thread. UnknownForce mentioned this in the post.
So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the Mod itself, as it's doing what it's supposed to do (Send the MEDIA_NEXT or MEDIA_PREVIOUS broadcast to the system) It seems like it's something wrong with the way the system handles the broadcast and routing it to the appropriate application.

It was also mentioned a couple of posts below that, again by UnkownForce, in the original thread.
Yes, it does actually work, but only with the "Top level" music player. Which explains why when you remove the others, that it works with the current player, whatever player that may be.
It seems like it's a system bug that can't distinguish which player "has focus" when pressing a Media button like next or previous. I haven't had much time to look at it with the holidays and everything, but I'm still looking into ways to make this work.

I also noticed that if you aren't playing any music, long pressing the vol up will start playing music.

Help I Need A true music player!

Hello!
I wonder if anyone has been able to find a music player really worth it, I said why I tried several like the power amp, ubermusic, and the new app ics, but all have the same problem.
Try playing with the volume button, go up and down the volume quickly and see as there is a pause in the song or degradation (noticeable only with headphones), and this does not happen with the player as standard. Now tell me then stick with the standard player! But it always bugs me when I'm presented some time playing the same artist when I press the back button instead of sending me to the library just sends me to the main desktop, this happened to me many versions with different roms bone is samsung a direct bug ..
samsung player also has a millisecond pause after each song which is annoying me!
Someone tell me if they feel the same? that all players have this defect by changing the volume?
Greetings!
Power amp beta 2 ?
Its really good
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I just tested and this is no longer the problem by increase or decrease the volume ... but now every time I open the app has a volume change for a second and it's annoying me ...
any idea?
I have been using doubletwist and it is pretty good
at the end I did not find any that do not have this error when the volume up and down maybe for some it is annoying as it is almost imperceptible but for me it's really annoying ...
try, PowerAMP, ubermusic, doubleTwist, pro player, and no bug fixes that the only thing is you do not have the samsung home player ...
that samsung does not fix the bug in your player at home, when you're playing a long time to one artist and you want to switch to the press only sends you back to the main menu, this is a general problem right?
Neutron player.
Weird UI, but excellent sound quality.

and i could not agree more then you. i had this player for the longest and its too good. it reads all my album art i customized and works atleast not like other crappy players and no lag and great ui looking. this is a keeper until someone comes out with something that'll have all this and plus more. you can modify alot of things tho in poweramp.. anyone that is not happy with it go blah on something else which is worthless no offence to anyone.
Try ttpod, really nice sound quality
Another thing that pisses me off about the stock music player is the fact that there's no music widget. Come on Samsung what were you thinking. That's a core Android feature!
What about winamp? Is no good?
PowerAMP
PowerAmp is the best.
I bought it...

I really like the default samsung player. Its got the flawless notification/lockscreen integration and it recognizes all my music correctly. There's maybe two or three features that I look for in a player that this one has all I need. My only problem is that it chugs when I scroll through my music quickly (25gb of songs on a class 4 card will do that though, sadly). I've tried a whole bunch with fancy interfaces, but they always give me a reason to go back. For example, I tried xenoamp after the reccomendation above and I was really excited for it, seemed like it had a cool interface. But no shuffle all? And after I got past that, the rest of it felt like an alpha with a lot of features (like editting tags so I could fix all of the songs that it randomly didn't recognize) simply not working.

I really like the stock music player, but it's constantly losing my position in tracks when I pause... I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and if I pause mid-track, if I come back an hour or two later it's lost the position, starting the track over. If I wait more than an hour or two, it often forgets what book I'm even on, and will just show my library.
This is with absolute minimal use between, checking gmail once or twice and a text or two.
I use either Cloudskipper or Doubletwist, take your pick
I have used Mixzing for the past two years.

What's your preferred music player app?

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.

Music App recommendations for Toroplus on SlimBean

I still can't quite find the right music player for SlimBean. I have tried PowerAmp, Google Play, stock Music, WinAmp, DoubleTwist, Songbird and a ton of others. Nothing has everything I need.
I want:
Scrobbling
Utilizes DSP Manager
Plays smoothly (looking at you PowerAmp)
Has a lock screen widget
Doesn't seem like too tall of an order but nothing I have found satisfies all of it. AMP+ is *almost* there but it doesn't use DSP Manager. Any thoughts?
Tried Apollo?
If im not mistaken you can use DSP with power amp , go under settings/audio/advanced/(in poweramp), uncheck dvc control. It should bypass the apps equalizer and DSP will function
Edit : don't think it does jack lol , just tried it but I couldn't see a difference with DSP on or off with the dvc unchecked , sorry for the useless post :beer:

I have tried Apollo and it isn't without it shortcomings (bad interface, horrible album art resolution) but you're right, it does meet my requirements. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
I do love PowerAmp but it performs REALLY poorly on either SlimBean or Franco.Kernel (not sure where the issue is).

[REQUEST] Volume button skip music

Like the title says, can I anyone with enough knowledge how to do this make it work for the S4, I had it on my S3 and I loved how I was able to skips songs using the volume button when the screen is off.
sent from Galaxy SIV rooted
...
Poweramp allows the use of the volume buttons to skip tracks, and the paid version also allows the use of mic button on headphones to play/pause/skip forward/skip back, depending on how many times the button is tapped
I believe DoubleTwist may have volume skip as well, plus (I think) it has the ability to sync with iTunes.

i presonally havent tried it but i heard the S4 has one built into the default music app. i think its DOUBLE TAPS, though.
This feature would be really nice to have, although it can't be part of a music application.
For me it has to be a system wide function so I can use it in Pandora or Slacker.
I can't remember which rom included it, but when I first started trying all the gs4 roms, one of them had this feature.

CM10.1 has it built in, as do the other AOSP based roms I imagine.
Somebody will prolly beat me to it, but this is going to be a feature in my ROM once i get my device situated. I have issues with it and its not even a week old. So once chainfire gets his Triangle Away working with our device, im going to be returning it for a new one.
You can do it (and lots of other things) by installing Xposed framework, there is topic somewhere in S4 forums
