Can't enqueue a song in the Music Player without changing tracks.

Hi guys,
I really like the default music player because it shows you the album art on the lock screen. However, I can't find out how to enqueue a song or album to the now playing list. It always replaces all the songs currently playing and I don't want that.
I tried playing a playlist and then adding stuff to that playlist but that doesn't work either. Anyone got an idea how to do this or at least a music player replacement with the lock screen controls?
Thanks!

Oh, I forgot: On the Windows Mobile HTC Sense (Manila) Player this worked, so I'm thinking this feature must be accessible somehow.
Anyone?

You can hold down on a song and Add to Playlist, but you can't enqueue anything to add to what's currently playing.
To be frank, the HTC Music player is really poor.

So which player are you using? Does it have a lock screen?

I have the same problem on my HTC Magic since I updated it

Making Other Music Players Default

Hello There, As im exploring The Captivates Somewhat good OS Tweaks of the Phone, Some people May Download better music players, Now the android music player definetly isn't the best one:/ So if you hate having to go ALL THE WAY to that one certain music app heres how to make The Original music player go to your Other Music Player So I was annoyed for days because the default music player was automatically popping up or playing instead of ZPlayer in my case. I could not find a exact answer online so with some determination I figured it out my self and hope this will help out someone else.
1st you want to go to your settings- click applications- manage applications
Click the All applications list, now go to every music player in your app list including your default one make sure the play by default button is not checked, if it is checked clear it. Then be sure that your force quit them all.
2nd now setting default player is not in the settings which is why its so annoying to figure out. Your phone comes with a folder called " My Files" if you haven't gotten rid of that, open that folder and find a music file and when you try to play it from there a choose player window will pop up. Now BEFORE You choose the player you want as your default click the checkbox first will have green checkmark. Then choose what player u want as your default from the list and its set.
To verify go back to settings click applications- manage applications- all applications scroll to the music player u set as default and the box at the bottom should now be checked as your default music player.

It`s great! thx!

I've been thinking about switching back to Play Music or ubermusic, but the default Samsung one plays nice with the lockscreen and that's just too convenient.

VLC or Winamp won't play (music) in the background?

Hi,
I'm simply trying to find a solution for background playback with a quality dedicated media player like VLC or Winamp. For playing mp3s. On my rooted stock 4.2.2 Gnex.
Both VLC and Winamp say they have background playback, but I don't see anything in the settings addressing it, so I assume it's the default behaviour for them both.
Yet when I start playing an mp3 opened from my file explorer, then press home screen to multitask and do something else while the music is playing, the music stops - then resumes when I go to the VLC/Winamp multitask entry again.
What gives? What's the problem that's happening? Is it some OS memory behaviour issue? How can I force VLC or Winamp to keep running in the background when minimising it?
Thanks for your help.

Hm, never had that problem with Winamp, but I would not count on VLC being able to do that as it is still a very, VERY early beta.

Fixed
Step 1: Open "System" by going to Settings
Step 2: Now that you are in "System", scroll down to "Default Apps"
Step 3: Look for the title Music Player and right click on it, once you've done that you will see a list of apps that pop up, now choose your default app you want, in this case choose "VLC for Windows Store".
Enjoy listening Music in the background with VLC

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.

[Q] Music Player stops when opening a GIF on twitter

Unlike SoundCloud, when opening a gif on twitter the stock music player will stop playing music. As well as this the music player controls will disappear from the notification pull down bar (SoundCloud doesn't do this either). Is anything I can do to stop these things from happening (like an Xposed module) or has anyone experiencing the same problem found a work around?
Thanks
