I like the google play music app, but the widget is the most boring thing I have ever seen. Any using/know of some installable widgets that run the google play music app but have some more functionality than that simple bar offered from google?
I was wondering the same exact thing...
I use double twist widget to control music downloaded from Google play music
Sent from my MB860 CM7 latest nightly 37p Radio
Me too. It is ugly and very limited. The old music app has been removed unfortunately. Any ideas would help
Don't really know if this is in the right section or not, but I need a bit of help, for some reason NFC Task Launcher won't list Google Music in the list of applications on my phone, it lists everything else but Google Music is nowhere to be seen, I tried writing a tag that opens Music Player but that was just the stock Samsung music player.
Anyone else had this problem? Or know how I can fix it? Is Google Music called something else in the list of applications or something like that?
Cheers guys
Hello.
I'm from Europe and my play store doesn't have the music section yet but i've been using it anyway.
I just got the nexus 5 and now when i try to add the play store "my library" widget it doesn't allow me to select music as source for the widget as i'd like.
On my old phone i had the widget showing music only and i don't recall doing anything special for that to work.
So how do i go about getting the play store my library music widget working?
Stock nexus 5, not currently rooted.
Thanks.
Hi all. Quick question:
I have google play all access, and I have stored the music locally on my device. I was wondering if there is a way to get all of my google play music files to play through the HTC Music app. Reason being, I want to install the Harmon-Kardon edition mod, but looks like the most benefit comes from using the HTC Music app. Does anyone know how I might go about sourcing all the google play files onto the HTC Music app?
Stock rooted, S-OFF, with latest OTA
Thanks!

The Harmon Kardon mod is really about enhancing compressed music, though it also supports 192khz via flac's, but you are asking about Play Music, which is compressed, even at high quality. The bottom line is that the mod works on all music apps, from Spotify, to Google Play Music exactly the same as it does for the HTC Music app. Technically, you can play the G Play music mp3's on any player, if you are rooted. You just need to move them to another folder. The down side is that the G Play app names all of the songs numerically, like 7483.mp3, so in the end, you are better off just using whatever music app you normally use.
another thing you can do is go into your default.xml file and edit the line pertaining to music channel (turning it on the rebooting, making sure the change has been saved). This allows me to play my playlists off Google music with the HTC player features, giving me access to the visualizer, lyrics (when applicable) etc, and the HK mod icons are active
Soon as I start a song, I get a notification that Music Channel is available, I click the notification and there it is
Okay so I got this Chinese version to be as close as possible as a normal version by now. One more thing that's really bugging me though is that Google play music doesn't show up on the lockscreen. Any way around that? It's really annoying especially in the car to have to enter the app or go to the music widget to change songs.
