[Q] Scrobbling?

Just a quick question here.
Has anyone found a way to allow the built in music player to scrobble to Last.FM? I'm a Last.FM addict and I was horrified to realise my beloved Arc won't scrobble >.<
Cheers.

Cheers! Yeah I saw it a while ago so I might try it again. I really like the built in app but I can mix and match! The joy of Android

Winamp for Android also has a setting to scrobble, and personally, I think that the Winamp app is better than any other music app that I've found so far.

DoubleTwist also does scrobbling to lastfm

Try '³' it's 1 of the best music players, and you can also scrobble to Last.fm

[Q] Play All Songs in Media Player

I have a situation that i was able to play all songs from the beginning but after i added a new song,and got a album art for it,my music player can't play all songs anymore.It only can play 1 song in 1 album at a time.The next/skip button won't bring other songs for me.It means when i press next/skip button,it won't change to other song from other album which it could change before i updated the new song,but now it remains the same song like it has no connection with other songs.I tried to find the setting and pressed play all option,but it came out the same.Please teach me how i can make the music player able to play all songs again?Thanks a lot.

How do you guys play all songs in your media player?Thanks.

Open music and press my phone at the top hit albums and pick songs from the list then finally hit menu and play all.

They should be on your sd somewhere, just move them into a folder called music on the root on your sd.

You can connect your phone with your computer and look from there.Or you can download a file explorer from google play market.

Media server battery drain :(

Hi all, is there ANY WAY to significantly reduce the battery drain caused by the media server process shown in battery info dialog box. It always goes very high when I play locally stored music or video files (yeah I know this process is connected to every sound the phone makes but still it shouldn't be so high while just playing music.
Is there any music player which doesn't use media server?
(Don't mind changing the stock one if the other one has current playlist home screen widget)

Use this app. I use it for some time without any problem. You just need to add phone, sms, clock & your music player to the "ignore list" to avoid problems. Enjoy

The recommendation from mauam is great, test it, it will work.
If you choose another player, use poweramp, it has it´s own media scanner and don´t need the stock one.
You have the choice now

Thanks guys. Will try these

OK I definitely love PowerAMP but i dont have a credit or debit card so i cant purchase it from google play. and when i download the unlocker from blackmart it says "cannot install package" (i had this problem with samsung email app and solved it by copying the secEmail.apk to system/app but what should i do with the unlocker.apk??)

Music control from watch

Hi guys..
I'm looking for a way to control my music player.
Specifically the ability to fast forward/rewind within a song track... (or even better if it can do track-bar scrubbing) from my watch.
I've been searching around for apps and i couldn't find any with such functionality so far.. Anyone here have any ideas? maybe some tasker gurus...?
Thanks!

other than the skip forward or back songs?

Yup. I know there are quite a number of wear apps that support skipping tracks and adjusting volume..
I'm looking for a way to "rewind" or "fast forward" to a specific part of a song..
Any ideas?

Music boss is a nice one

I tried boss.. Apparently the fast forwarding function works only with very specific apps like audio books.. It doesn't work with normal music players.. I even emailed them and asked about it, no luck...

Is there any app other than google play music that can play songs stored in the watch?

As far as I know, the only other player that can do that is the Xperia Music app.

If you use poweramp you could try poweramp remote 4 android wear. It let you browse your artists, albums and songs on your watch and than play them on your phone

U can use the sony walkman app to create a playlist with your audio book and transfer to yur sm3.

Playstore app called "Wear Media" perfect for audiobooks, since it remember your track position. Its the inly that does that
