Is there any way to have those type of controls like 3 presses of the play button would make it go back 1 song? Kinda annoying when I want to hear a song twice in a row or skip a good song by accident that I have to take my phone out of my pocket them unlock then go back from there.

Is there a shortcut to access music? like iphone, double tab the home button and you can change songs straight from the home screen. Is this possible with the g2? It makes a whole lot easier when trying to change songs while driving so you dont have to unlock, go to music player on home screen and then hit next.
hopefully when its rooted, you'll be able to hold the volume up button and it would go to the next song (addon)

lol. but wouldn't that just change the volume? theres a nexus one hack that lets you skip+pause songs by clicking the scroll ball when locked. probably could change that to get it to work with the G2's trackpad.
Not sure of an app that does the same as the iPod. But I use MixZing Media Player, you can enable a widget that pops up on your lock screen that lets you pause, play and skip songs. Also shows the artwork for the current song playing. That feature isn't free though. You have to purchase the upgrade for $7.99
skip/back by holding the volume rocker is a standard feature in CM6

I'm not sure why, but that feature never worked on my Nexus. No matter how long I held it down.
You could always use QuickDesk. It'd function exactly how you want it if you put just the music widget on it.

I've been playing with my Defy for a while, and I've not found any Mp3Player that can do play/pause/next with the included headset AND ALSO answer calls when they come in with the same button.
I used to have a Nokia 5800 which had an awesome headset with play|pause|next|previous|stop|answercall buttons.
I've been unable to find something like that for Defy (android really), is this an "issue" or does it have a solution?
Thanks in advance to whoever helps
Can't say for sure they work as mine haven't arrived yet but Zagg Smartbuds are suppose to be able to do that using multiple presses and long presses & an analog volume control

Thanks for the answer, can you post your results when you receive them?
It's funny cause MY headset on a Galaxy S with Winamp configured exactly the same, actually goes to the next song with double press, but not in my defy.
Hope yours work fine =) I want to be able to at least skip songs and also answer/hang up from the headset=)
Got my ZaggSmartBuds today and had a chance to play with them. At 1st I wasn't real happy with them as all I could do was pause the misic and if I did anything else like long press or double press it would open up the other players I had installed. So I started gettting rid of them one my one, I had Mixing, Songbird, & Tunewiki, plus the stock music app.
I don't remember which one I think it was Tunewiki with nothing else installed when you douple clicked or long clicked it would bring up the voice command app. Didn't try answering the phone as it didn't work the music apps well. Un-install all of those and installed PowerAmp and now I can answer the phone, music pauses when the call come in, answered it by pressing the button on the headset. Music returns at the end of the call when the party hangs up or you press the button again.
Long press and it will skip the playing song and go to the next one. There are some options in PowerAmp to set the button to Double/Triple click, so you can go forward or reverse didn't try that option.
The SmartBuds came with 2 sizes for foam ear pieces and 3 sizes or silcone ear pieces with a nice little hard shell zipper case to carry them in. I liked the volume control inline even though it was analog I didn't have to adjust the volume on the phone from it's normal setting yet I could still adjust the volume or mute it. I didn't have to turn the volume down for the call as it was to loud but was able to do that with the inline control. The buds have amazing sound. It takes a little practice to inset the buds in my ears as they are angled once I got the hang of it they slipped right in.
Hope that answered your question
Hi,
As gramps50 wrote above, with PowerAmp you can set up in the option to : play or stop the music with the handset button, when a call is coming, the music stops and you can answer with the same button. When you finish your call, the music restarts automatically.

Thanks both for the input.
I'll give that a try. It still amazes me that a BASIC functionality like the Nokia headsets include, does not seem to be available on this phone! it's really weird!
App called Handset Button Controller maybe help you.

thanks! i've used poweramp and it worked fine=)
is it possible to assign a long press of the volume keys to a function.
specifically, i would like to pause or stop music/podcasts while device is locked. i like to listen to podcasts while going to sleep and would like to be able to stop them playing easily.
Cheers
I'm using Ice Cold Sandwich ROM on the Desire HD and loving it, but the audio controls on the lockscreeen are annoying me.
I often don't wear a watch, so I take the phone out of my side pocket to check the time and while I slip it back into my pocket I accidentally skip the track I'm listening to by hitting the backwards or forwards button by accident.
So, how do I make it so that there are no audio controls on the lock screen?
I use a pattern lock but I don't unlock the phone to check the time, just quickly hit the power switch to turn the screen on.
It's especially annoying if I'm listening to a 2 hour podcast and I'm half way through it, because I then have to fiddle about trying to get back to the part I was listening to.
Cheers.
Is it possible to change so that i can use the volume buttons to skip forward and backwards in music?
As currently, i have to drag my finger, and i don´t know if it´s my phone or the apps, but it isn´t always perfect, sometime it doesn´t sense that i drag, so i have to spam it.
And anyhow, it´s very hard to make fast small skips. For example, i listen to an Audio Book, i don´t hear a word randomly, so i want to back like 5 secs.
Well i have to first press the home button to get the screen lit up. Then Unlock the phone (i know i can disable this).
And finally i have to drag 5 secs back. And while it is possible if the clip is very short, like 30-1 min. But when it´s 4-5min, it´s pretty impossible.
So if i could make the volume buttons work as a skip button when i play music, it would be perfect.
