i have a wierd problem. on superclean, when i use my quick panel to change tracks, no text shows up and when i click on the music button my phone reboots. also no music control on lockscreen
i really need help
I had a different kind of error, if I selected a song to play from TW music list, it will open up in Music(android system app) instead of TW Music. I uninstalled both music players by root uninstaller, and then flashed TW Music.zip, and now it's working perfectly and have TW music as default music player.
I'd say try erasing both(if you're only using TW Music) or just TW music, and flash TW Music again. TW Music.zip can be found on Super Clean 2.9.1 ROM page.

Since there isn't one, what do you recommend? I haven't seem any good ones in the market, and there's too many to search through them all.
I'm a big fan if mixzing. Chris Soyars also has an amazing one for cm6 assuming that gets ported soon.
Pure Music Widget. Is nice, many different sizes and skinnable.
I will check those out, but I ended up just porting over the music apk from CM5 and installing that

Stock 2.1 Music Player with widget.
While the Samsung Music player app doesn't have a widget, it might have something better - if you're playing music you can control the app even if the screen is locked. When you're screen is locked you'll see a little down arrow that you can drag down to show your music controls.
DoubleTwist also has a decent widget.

Not only that, you have your music controls from the notification bar. I don't miss the music widget one bit with these 2 options

I third the preloaded music app. Why do you need a widget that's always on the home screen taking up space and resources whether your listening to music or not when you can have controls hidden in the notification bar that only show up when you're actually listening to music?

Are the notification bar controls tied to the TouchWiz interface or can you use any home screen customizer, as long as you use the Sammy player, and still get the notification bar controls?

Its part of the Samsung Music app, not the launcher, so you can use it with any Launcher
The notification bar and lock screen players remain in place if you use a 3rd party home screen (ADW, Launcher Pro), so long as your using Samsung's excellent player.
I don't like Samsung's music player. I don't like that when I pick an artist, it opens all albums. I like the stock music players way of showing the albums, then opens just that album when you touch it. I don't want to play the entire discography when I just want one album. I know there is an "Album" category, but I like my music by artist -> album, not just album.
If that's not too confusing to understand lol
I love the music controls in my notification bar when using the Samsung player, but if I get a handscent pop up message from a text it gongs that music player right out of the notification bar. Sometimes if I go back to the music app its still there paused, but sometimes not. Kind of annoying, anyone else noticing this?
Edit: Reboot seems to have fixed this now, sorry should have tried that before posting.
I use bTunes because it actually keeps my playlists when transferred over wifi from iTunes on my PC (with tunesync). I'd like to use the stock player but it only shows all the songs/artists/albums...no itunes playlists
I found out that Lithium player is one of the best out there so far.
Great Music effects also!

If you click artists, then on the artist, it will still show each album, it just shows them in a list as opposed to icons for each album.
after maybe an hour of searching in google and XDA for this i gave up searching so i will just ask...
im using cm7 for a month now and i love it. one of the things i love about cm7 is that i now have the music player keys on the lock screen but i just cant stand the stock music player itself... i want to move to google music or to the miui stock music player but if i do that the keys on the lock screen are still set for the stock music player... and thats a deal breaker for me... is there any way to change that?
i've been a longtime miui music and playerpro user. N7player definitely takes the cake
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
yo! Thanks for the suggestion mate. I've just installed it and it sounds and looks awesome.
I was using a semi-working Miui player port on cm7 as of lately (still better than stock Music.apk), but this made me uninstall it. This is now my default audio player.
Others tried: zimly, neutron mp, winamp, poweramp.
But this seems a winner. Thanks again.
no problem. just wondering how long it'll be before they make it a paid app. I think they should leave it free for awhile and gain more publicity. anyways, I wouldn't mind paying for this app especially if themes can be integrated
does not work on my defy nightly, can not play any song -.-

Strange; which nightly? I'm on Maniac103's Feb. 20th and it works flawlessly...well, almost.
Here's a couple observations on that player and more:
This player excels in getting (and displaying) album art pics; it even makes them accessible to other apps. So this means that the stock Music.apk can finally and easily have album art covers for pretty much all songs and single mp3 files -that without any additional app such as albumart grabber [which didn't even really solve the problem anyway].
Cm7's lockscreen sees N7 player as the main player; so the lockscreen buttons control it and not the default player [big +1 in my book]. But there's no song name or albumart displayed on lock screen; no biggie and it has its own lock screen mode anyway..
So the only real need of keeping the default player installed is to quick-play a single song from within a file explorer (from the 'download' folder for example) because somehow, if you uninstall it there's no mp3 file type (mime) assiociated with the N7 player. So you get 'mp3 is not recognized file type by the system', 'System can not play this file type' ~or something similar anyway.
Now, all that being said, I still don't like to keep the cm7 default music player for one main reason: it also adds a "Videos" link in the app drawer wich links to a directory of all video files on the phone -hidden or not!!- .
You can't freeze (with TB or other app) that Videos 'shortcut' independently from the Music.apk nor you could (or would really want to) lock it (i.e.: add a password to the default audio player) with an app like Smart App Protector...
Any alternative? Yes: ICS's Music2.apk [attached - taken from the ICS dump release a long time ago].
Disclaimer: OK, this is not 100% proven science here; I did not check logcats and search for problems... but I haven't had any issue with this player yet for what I expect from it - but use at your own risks...
So backup, rename or delete the stock Music.apk from /system/app and place the ICS one in there and dont forget to set its permissions/ownership. Reboot and privacy problem solved!!
N7 and ICS' Music: best free audio combo in town
--> Music2 looks much better as well; more ice-creamy
Got some issues compared to Poweramp
- Can't detect song's cover art. Can't import from SD card. Need to download from internet
- No lyric
But overall is pretty impressive. Hopefully will get more feature soon

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the cm7 lockscreen to control winamp? I use winamp becasue i have lots of flac files i'd rather not have to convert everytime i put them on my phone.
thanks
Very nice, I like the interface a lot but its missing features I like in Poweramp so going to stick with that for now... plus I only just payed for Poweramp so want my moneys worth before changing
Will be keeping an eye on how this app develops though, when things like lockscreen gestures and a few more control options appear I can see this one being a winner
Thanks for the head up
THX. Have a try
n7player Music Player...THX，have a try
It has beautiful UI and the effort on that part is very appreciated. But I must say, it comes nowhere close to the sound quality of Poweramp. None of them do.
Hi all,
How to get the music controls on the lock screen . My mate gets them for the music app and Tune in radio.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You'll need a music application like Power Amp. I've been using it for years and it has a very good ICS lock screen including the all important seek bar.
The stock samsung music player doesn't have lockscreen controls...shockingly.
I installed the stock google music player and deleted the Sammy one. Also I don't think the Sammy player works with DSP manager, which the Google version does, so another bonus.
Currently using the "twilight" theme, with the default music widget for that theme! zero customization done.
Every time I open from the music widget it asks me to pick a music player, even though I only use Google Play music. Any idea how to just make this open up automatically?

Hi,
Just to clarify, you applied the Twilight theme, then went to music player and select Google Play Music as your default music player? Did you do anything else after that, such as restarting your phone or switching to another theme? If so, Themer resets your default player, and you'll have to set it back.
You can also long press on the homescreen - select Themer Settings - App Preferences - Music - Google Play Music.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply! I actually did exactly that way, and haven't rebooted or anything. It just happens every time I click the widget, even though the default is set in the Themer settings.
Even if I switch songs, go back to my homescreen, and go back into the music app I have to choose which again.
Thoughts? Maybe a bug with the widget?
