[Q] How to set Play Music as default Music Player??? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi, I'm using a Tmobile Galaxy S3 running stock rooted 4.1.2 and I have uninstalled the default music app from samsung because I don't like it.
I'd like to set Google's Play Music app as my default. I do have Amazon's MP3 Player because there are vouchers for free mp3s' every now and then.
The problem is that when I enter my car, bluetooth starts automatically the Amazon MP3 Player instead of the Play Music app. Same case when I plug in my headphones and press play it launches Amazon MP3 app. As of now I froze the app using Titanium Backup, but that is a workaround only.
How can I make the Play Music my Default music app?

Undefault the amazon app by going through settings and apps manager and unselecting default app.

At first I thought this will work but the app is not set to default.

Than that is weird lol. I don't use the app so I can't tell you on what to do. Never seen this brought up either, at least not in our section. It isn't an S3 only issue so you may want to try Googling it.

I believe you're talking about ³ (cubed) not 3.
How about you give UberMusic a try?
The best player is PowerAmp!

Not going to lie, PowerAMP was my first purchase on the Android Market and I am extremely happy with it.
The best feature for me is the ability to view my songs as folders since I already have my music organized by artist/album and I don't need the library. Anyone who's using their phone as an mp3 definitely needs to try it.

Google Sound Search (For UK Nexus 7)

Not seen this mentioned, probably because the US ones have it as stock.
As Play music isn't available over here, Google have frozen the app out on UK N7s. If you've got Titanium backup installed, just defrost "Sound Search For Google Play 1.0.1" and it will now appear in your widget list.
Obviously it can only be used for song identification, if you click the widget after it has identified a song it will just open a Chrome page letting you know that Play Music isn't available in your country.
It works extremely well, just as you'd expect from a Google search product

Just a note, the OS refreezes it when you restart the device which buggers up the widget. You just need to defrost it again and put the widget back on the homescreen

I've discovered it yesterday, along with Google Wallet, Books, Magazines and Video... All of these were frozen in my device.
Great stuff.
If your in the UK. Use a free us proxy server to sign into play music once. And you will have play music from then on

Whenever I use sound search it crashes and becomes hidden again

I used Spotflux to get onto Play Music on my PC (Lets you download Play Music uploader and use your 20,000 song allowance) but it still won't enable you to buy music from this widget.

similar to Google Music

Any app out in the play store that is similar to google music that allows you to stream music you have on your computer to your phone?

Samsung has a default allshare/music hub app, I haven't messed with it much but I believe it offers a similar deal.
I'll check it out.I've been having issues with Google music lately.

What if your defaults for Amazon already says "No defaults set" but it still plays to Amazon first?

Play Music widget problem

So I use Google Play music for my songs with n play, select, and skip tracks with the widget. It used to work fine but now it often pauses the song when I press the menu square on the widget, shows a loading circle, and then takes me to the menu. This is hurting my workout. Is this firmware issues, a bad update, or BC I pulled my SD card without unmounting it recently (that's where ALL my songs are)?

I personally don't thinks its any issue with your SD card.. Best way to find out if it is.. Is by playing it on the stock music player or another music.. And it sounds like it might be an app issue
Its with the most recent update of Google Play Music.

I'd personally jjust switch to something else, I use now playing music player has a good shuffle options for playlist and music it just seems know how to pick the favorite or genres correctly compared to poweramp
yea, turns out its just the update, as I switched back to the factory widget and it works perfectly.
