Issues with music on lock screen - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

Hey, so I'm kinda stuck on this one feature and can't seem to find a way around it.
I like the stock htc one music player, but when i use ok google to play a song (like i do in the car) it just searches for the song in the music player, doesn't play it. I've been using the google play music player which does work with the ok google command, but i have to enter the pin to get to the music player. Is there some kind of tweak like for xposed or a setting that either makes ok google work properly with the htc music app or Google play bypass the lockscreen? or some other option im not thinking of?
Thanks

Google Music widget & album art

Google music is by far my preferred app to stream my music, but as much as I like it I hate the fact that the widget does not display the album art. I tried Pure Music Widget in hopes to circumvent the problem but all it displays is a picture of a blank cd.
Are there any hacks or alternatives that could fix this? And by alternatives I mean not an entirely new based cloud service but something that ties into Google Music.
Offline Music Importer in the play store (not free despite listed as free) will allow you to use google music tunes in other apps, not very intuitive though. I think I read the paid version of double twist can see offline google music also.

True however for me what's the point of having streaming music if I have to download to my phone. I was looking for something that can stream from my Google account and display the album art in the widget

The widget doesnt show album art because Google didnt design it that way. Plain & simple.
Yes I know that which is why I was asking if there was a hack or an alternative app that ties into Google Music to achieve that function.

TouchWiz Music on AOKP

Hey guys, I am currently using an AOKP ROM, and I am wondering if there is an APK out there for the TW music player that doesnt need all the TW frameworks. I've tried many music players from the market, and I have even purchased poweramp. They still don't work as well as the touchwiz player. Can anyone help me out?
what did you like about the TouchWiz music player?
i personally disliked it, and installed Google Music right away. (plus, it can stream my entire library)
other notable music players are Winamp and Apollo.
I like to manually manage all my music on my SD card, so the Samsung player works great with custom folder structure.
I like that when you hit the back key it takes you back to the song view (my poweramp just closes, so I am forced to constantly hit the 'back' nav button built into the program and its uncomfortable)
Samsung player works really well with my car. Poweramp always looses my playlists and starts from the beginning, when I turn my car off and on, and has weird effects when you change songs.
Ill try Poweramp, and the Apollo from the market really is no good. I've seen the Apollo in CM, is that one different?
Apollo used to be available only with a CM ROM. but they have released it separately now.
i personally don't use playlists, i just listen to everything i have. and from using Google Music and Apollo, both go back a screen instead of exiting the app. i also haven't noticed any weird effects when changing songs.

[Q] how to see ONLY coud files in Google Music app

I'm playing around with uploading my music to Google Music. That being said, when I run Play Music on my gs3, I ONLY want to see the music stored on the Google Music cloud--I don't want to see anything on my phone's storage. I see an option for "all music / on device only" which is the opposite of what I want. I thought about a third party Google Music player but haven't found anything yet (suggestions for this are welcome, I did see an app to let third party players access the google music cloud files but haven't tried it yet). Thanks for any help on this.

[Q] 3rd party music players in htc music player

Is there any way to get apps like Spotify working in our stock music player app? So we can use the HTC equalizer etc. for that music aswell.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are plenty of apps out there that give you audio eq everywhere as opposed to just within HTC's player. Seems to me that would be easier than trying to figure out how to pull Spotify through HTC's player.

Where is the stock music app?

Is it just me being stupid or is there no stock music app to listen to music? No widgets or anything?

Samsung removed a few apps and made them downloadable. Search for Samsung Music on Play Store.
I don't think they included an OEM stock music app. The Samsung branded Music app can be downloaded from the Play Store.
Dont bother with Samsungs music app. Use Elevel Player by CM
Google play is the only music player I found preinstalled.
^this.... and
This was one of the first thing I notice after getting mine trying to migrate my stuff from my iPhone 5s to the note 7. First I downloaded Winamp since it was my go to app when i was on android before the 5s but since os and app probably improved since then I looked up to see what might be better now and found out "Google Play Music" was the stock music app.... then i eventually went with Pi Music Player.
