How to change default app for bluetooth media controls - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Does anyone know if it's possible to select which app functions as the default for Bluetooth media controls? I use Google Play Music as my primary music player, but my bluetooth media controls always invoke the stock media player. Before the 4.3 update, the Play Music app would respond to my media controls. After updating and hard resetting, the stock music player hijacked my media controls. I know it's possible for another app to take over the controls because I installed PowerAMP temporarily and it took over my media controls.
Is there any way I can get the Google Play Music app to take over the media controls? Is there any way to disable the stock music player?

[Q] The headphone play button always starts the default Music Player

I don't like the default Music player of the HTC Desire, majorly because it does not support Unicode characters well. In most of the time I use an alternative player (QQ Music). Unfortunately, the buttons on the original headphone are still controlling the default Music application. Is there any way to change the program they control?
Thank you

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.

Disable default media player?

Hi, I use poweramp on my z3c and I use a third party poweramp remote to control my music from my watch. The app itself works brilliantly! My only issue is that I don't know how to disable the default media player as the two apps wrestle for control and serve the same purpose. Could anyone help me out?
