Hi Wildfire lovers
Im looking for an app that will allow me to listen to BBC Radio 1 over mobile internet and do other things on my phone.
At the minute i load up this page bbc.co.uk/radio1/listen.mp then i click on the "listen now" link which then takes me into Streaming Media player and i can listen to the programs, but when i click the power button at the top or press the "home" key the feed stops
I have tried the following with very little or no success
Tunein Radio
beebplayer
myplayer
anyone with any suggestions please?
Thanks

I just downloaded ^3 Music Player at the suggestion of many, and it is an awesome player. I want to keep it as my main player because it just looks cool. And unlike the stock player on the Vibrant, the Album Art is crisp and clear. But I noticed this app does not show up in the Program Monitor widget to chose End All. So how do you turn it off. Currently Im going into Setting > Applications > Manage Applications > 3 > Force Stop. Is anyone else not seeing this program as running in the Program Monitor widget?
I see your new to android... the following link deals with your question in part... but mostly with android and memory management.. (I read you have a program/app/task manager ) ... basically apps made to follow android api's do not need a dedicated stop/exit button, for media players, pause and back button ends the app ... so please read the info found in the link... you don't have to install any app , that's up to you, I just want to help you understand Android...

Thanks. But, didnt help me to understand why ^3 is not showing under the Program Monitor when it is running. When you play the stock MP3 player and when you hit back all the way to the home screen, the music is still playing. Same goes for the ^3 music player. The only difference is that the stock player will show as an active application under the Samsung Progarm Monitor. So all you do is just hit End Application and the app is no longer running and music stops. ^3 does not show as an active application in the Samsung Program Monitor as it is playing. Even if you hit pause on the stock MP3 player and then hit back until you get to the Home Screen, the stock player still shows as an Active Application. So when you say for media players pause or back ends the App, that doesn seem so since the stock mp3 player continues to show as an active application when it is paused.
In the end I installed Advanced Task Killer. When I run ^3, advanced task killer does show it is running when it is playing, so I just use the kill option on that for now.
Ok, so you know how in iOS, your listening to music, and then you head on over to youtube, click a video, your music fades out and your video starts? How come on android it just continues with music and youtube at same time? Is there a setting im missing? Its irritating, because i have to go back and click pause

Actually, I just tried two tests:
Play music with Sony Ericsson 'Mediascape' app.
While the music is playing, press the Home button.
Launch the 'YouTube' app.
Verify music continues to play while the 'YouTube' app is in its menu screens.
Select a video to play.
Verify music stops playing.
...and...
Play music with the Google 'Music' app.
While the music is playing, press the Home button.
Launch the 'YouTube' app.
Verify music continues to play while the 'YouTube' app is in its menu screens.
Select a video to play.
Verify music stops playing.
In both these situations, 'Mediascape' and 'Music' both automatically close as soon as a video begins playing on the 'YouTube' app.
I'm not sure why that doesn't happen with your phone, though.
I'm running on Sony Ericsson generic world Android 2.1.

oh oops i forgot to say that im running the free x10 beta4 rom 2.2.1
I'm on J's CM7 Gingerbread 20c ROM and have the issue. Going through both threads (since I used to be on beta 4) I haven't found much. It becomes a habit with time though. I did however find using the pause on the lockscreen less of a bother than having to go into the app itself.
Hi all,
Can anyone help me or point me into right direction how to get streaming url out of this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.russianmediagroup.rusrad
It's so buggy that play/pause button does not work. It starts to play and there's no icon that it's playing but it plays in background.
I just need url to be able to use it with ie. Xiialive
TIA
Wondering if anyone can help.
So I have an audiobook player, music player, and podcast app. I want to map a headset button(easy enough using headset button control) to a single tasker task that when pressed will open the music player, when pressed again close music and open audiobook, when pressed again open podcast app. Basically cycle through to the next app in order in a loop for when I want to switch between the 3.
Is this even possible?

For example
1 click = AudioBook Player

3 click = Pocdast app
If you want only 1 click with a loop for switch between the 3, tell me
auto stop current music when choosing other music app & how start app in background
Question/problem1:
When i listen to MP3 using the music apk and i switch to radio the MP3 is stopped/paused and radio is started.
When i listen radio and switch back to music then radio is muted/stopped and MP3 starts to play, PERFECT, this is what i want
But....
When i use an other music app (for example vlc, internet streaming radio or ds-audio etc etc etc) and i start this, the currenct radio/music etc keeps playing on and i hear 2 music sources at the same time...
So i have to stop/end the current music before choosing an other music source.
How can i solve this so whenever i choose an other music source the currect music source is always muted first?!
A second question:
How can i start an app on boot which runs immiditaly in the background?
I use a app called 'flitsmeister' which is an app which warns me on spoeed traps, traffic controls, slow traffic etc
This app currently starts on boot, but i always have to push home button to force this app to the background, it pops-up when there is something to report, so there is no need to run it on the foreground.
So the question is: how to i start an app on boot and let it run immidiatly on the background so i get my dashboard on boot and not this app?
Sorry I don't have an answer to this but I am 100% with you on the functionality and have been looking into it for the last couple of days. I think it might have something to do with the built in apps using one audio stream and the 3rd party apps using another. I have to say I thought I was going mad that I couldn't seem to find any other posts relating to this anywhere else on the forum. As the source code for both the inbuilt apps like Radio and the external apps like Spotify is not available I would think the only solution would be an additional app to run in the background and monitor either the audio streams or the apps themselves being executed.
Maybe someone with some more experience can answer or even better point us in the direction of an app that will perform such a task.

I'd like an answer to this also w/o having to wait for tasker to load.

Maybe you would find my app helpful. Search the forum for modeswitch. A new improved version is coming in a while. It works well with Spotify and allows the SWC to control Spotify. Now it adds voice call capabilities, but as now this is possible with dsa`s workaround, it will be removed in the new version to spped things up. Besides Spotify its possible to add until 2 custom apps. The app tries to respect the audio focus, so that only one app play audio

To use your app you must cycle through them all though right? So you must cycle through radio, video and media player?

The video player is not circled. The DVD and music player have option to opt-out from the circle. As well as Spotify and 2 custom apps..
In next versions maybe I will add the option to respect audio focus without. Using the circle, but maybe this will slow things down...
Great thanks.
Dave
I don't know if this helps but I have noticed through testing. The built in apps play sound while they have focus, either through the app or the widget. For example, if you open the radio app and click the home button it will continue to play. However if you click the radio app and click back it will stop playing. Obviously the 3rd party apps do not work like this and continue to play in the background regardless of how you exit them.
