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.

Did anybody else notice in the preview videos that the Music Beta app is the only music player on the phone? I don't currently own a phone that is supported by the Music Beta app but I thought when you download this app, it lives alongside the default music player, not replace it? But it looks like in ICS the old music player no longer exists and the Music Beta player is the default one?
Yeah. I dont know why you'd want the old one anyway... the new one is much much much better.
Why not? It can play local and cloud music files. It's the only one I use on my phone and tablet.
Just curious what Google's plans are for Music Beta going forward. If it's now the default music app on Android, then it's less likely that Music Beta is going to end up being canceled like Wave or Buzz. So you guys can confirm that on existing devices, Music Beta is an app that's in addition to the default music app?

I think it's integrated into the music app itself. I'm just beginning to upload my music to it now and, I think it's something i should have done from the beginning. As much as I switch devices, it can be nice to have.
They live side-by-side on my Continuum, but that's with adding Music Beta as a Market App, instead of a stock app.
You can remove the old one with root explorer on gingerbread. It's not needed. no point in have 2 apps, with one that does the functions of both.
Google Music is a Gapp that sits right next to GMail.
If a company doesn't want it, they'll use the AOSP music source, or load up their own.
You can disable Google Music syncing in the settings, or just use a different music app (in which there are plenty.)

Not too sure if this is already been posted but I know it's a function/feature we've all been dying to use: the ability to stream Google Music to a 3rd party app besides the the stock one.
I've been using it for about a day now on the PlayerPro music player & it works pretty darn great.
Anyhow, enough talk & on to the show: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169761

About a week into it or so. It does have its quirks where the system file that hosts the script becomes unmounted but a simple sync & remount solves the problem.
I've also noticed that if you add music to your Google Play library the GMusicFS app will not auto sync your music, you have to do it manually in order to get the music to be recognized in whatever 3rd party player you're using.
I've also used various music players such as Winamp & JetAudio & both work great as well.
An added bonus is no more tiny widget via Google Play Music, you get to use the larger widget that comes with those alternate players plus the ability to view lyrics & tweak the sound that these players have built in; something the Google Play Music app lacks.
I've transferred a bunch of music purchased through iTunes to my phone, but the stock music player can't play them (mostly .m4a). I've got Poweramp installed and it's fantastic, but I'd like to be able to tell Google Now to use Poweramp when I ask it to "play a song". Does anyone know if it's possible to do this or if it's possible to set the default player on a system level?
Running stock 4.1.1 on an unrooted Bell SGH-I747M.
Got it figured out. When you give it the voice command, you can click the Music Player icon and a list of available apps will drop down. Whatever you last chose is what Google Now will use.

I am using a N 5X and the 7.1.1 developer preview and want to use one app for playing music on my device.
I have been using Play Music but find it a bit awkward to see what is on my device and what is on their cloud service. To get around this I have started to use Poweramp to play music stored on my phone and it is great but my phone does not recognise it as a music player app. So if I click on an mp3 file I get the option of Play Music or VLC to open it but not Poweramp. I have cleared all defaults etc but Poweramp isn't ever given as on option.
Likewise Poweramp isn't given as an option to associate with music on the android auto app.
Other than Play Music are there any good alternatives that are recognised as apps to set as a default for music files? Or am I (and Google search) missing something I can change in the settings to enable Poweramp as an option?

I always use BlackPlayer EX. For me it's the best music player on android.
Great design, great customization, tag editing, everything.
The free version is 100% usable so you can try.
Shuttle Music Player is pretty sweet. It's been my favorite for a while now.
I use sony walkman is really nice looking
Just use Default App Manager Lite to set poweramp as the default (it should work with nougat but i haven't tried it)
Asus Music Player simple beautiful in theme and apps section in nexus 5x section

I have tried that, the app says it is default but when I tap on an mp3 file I still only get either play music or vlc

Thanks for the recommendations, am currently giving Shuttle a go, solved all my issues so far ?

One issue I have come across is that neither app is able to be prompted to play without manual intervention. So I have a task set within Trigger to open the music app when I connect to the car via Bluetooth, which it does, but when I press the media button in the car the track info comes up but doesn't actually start playing. Play Music does this and I am wandering if there is something I am missing?

If you are rooted, you can use the magisk module "YouTube vanced"

I am using that Currently. Was looking more for a dedicated music app. Is there a YouTube music version similar to YouTube vance
Google music for me
iHeartRadio works for me :good:
I personally use Spotify since it is available on more devices, like my gear s3 frontier, or my echo devices
Play music, YouTube music, and Spotify for me. I don't think there is an app that plays mucic (without advertisment) with the screen off for free.

Spotify premium for me, and then I also download some music separate from Spotify as well
Google Play Music still with the original $7.99 intro price. Have all my old music uploaded to it and enjoy commercial free YouTube Red. I watch more YouTube than regular shows if anything.
Look for Ymusic-Youtube in XDA Labs... No need to root....
Google play music. I love the playlists that are based upon time mood and location
I love Spotify
I switched from Spotify to Google Play Music for a few months but ended up going back to Spotify just recently because they do a much better job creating and updating curated playlists and stations.
I prefer the Google Play Music UI but Spotify wins out in every other category.
Spotify , Tune In Radio , YouTube for music, Sirius XM
