[Q] Media player app with hardware control - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an mp3 playback app that lets you use the phone's volume rocker control to skip, forward or pause the track? I miss having that from my blackberry where it lets me skip or forward the track if i hold on to the volume rocker button and such.

Player Pro does. It's the best media player i've used.

Btunes also has the ability and also works with bluetooth remote options. Just wish they had more skins

Thanks guys, player pro works well for that one thing i don't like is that it turns on the screen as you change volume or track now from lock mode, not a deal breaker but i wish i can control that.

[Q] MH500 Headphones + Music

Hello,
I'm using the MH500 headphones that came with my X10. I was wondering if there is any information or a list of press sequences available on how to control music playback.
For example, what press sequences are recognized by the X10 to control music, or would that be specific to the music player I'm using? I'm using PowerAmp atm.
So far I can perform pause,play and next by doing a long press and double pressing the button. Is there a way to go previous,fastforward,rewind?
Thanks,
W.

Those volume buttons generally only work with Apple products, you can however remap the play button for a variety of functions using an app called Headset Button Control, it's on the market.

[Q] skip tracks with volume buttons?

Do you think it would be possible to enable it? It's a pain to change track with the touchscreen honestly..
I know that it's possible to do it with Cyanogenmod, so basically we need a ROM ?
I believe PlayerPro and Poweramp can do that, maybe some others. I use Cubed and it doesn't.
Poweramp can't do that
Are there any news on this front?
I'm guessing you want to control playback without looking at the screen.
I have the same need, so I got a Jabra Clipper.

Try Tactile Player from the market, free or paid. I've been using it with the N7 player and it works. Double click buttons to change tracks, that way you still have single click control of volume. Play/pause with power button clicks.
Just select emulate headset controls in the app.

Thank you very much for posting this. Works great with the stock music player.

That is GREAT! Thank you even though I have problems. It's a mess with voodoo sound, when I change track with a double press the track does change but the volume keeps rising I use PowerAmp but I suppose it's system-wide

It seems like it keeps rising but I don't think it actually does. After going forward a few tracks you see the volume bar getting higher, but if you hit the volume down to make it quieter the volume actually hasn't moved.
Great app, but it's irritating that if you hold down one of the volume buttons it'll fly through tracks rather than turning the volume up or down substantially.
I'm still gunna use it though, this is exactly what I've been looking for to use while driving. It's such a pain in the ass to unlock the thing, go to the music player and find the right spot on the touchscreen to skip tracks while driving.
the analog volume does rise with voodoo sound at the point you can't stand it, maybe you don't use voodoo sound? and yeah the fact that you can't change the volume without getting crazy is a problem :-(
I thought the player did not support voodoo sound since it does not use the Wolfson chip???

I think the 4.0 players have the Wolfson chip, 5.0's use the Yamaha AFAIK.
yes I have the 4.0 player, what are you using?
I'm on US 5.0 player.
I'm not too concerned since I have Wolfson chip on two other devices. And the Yamaha chip doesn't sound 'bad' just not as good as the Wolfson.
you could always get one of those "shake" to change tracks apps then you don't have to worry about volume changing when skipping tracks.

[Q] can i allow controlling music fw/rw from the volume buttons while locked?

Best Rom for Music.

So I love music. Right now I am locking for the best rom for music lovers. By that I mean its pretty smooth, as good lockscreen controls, equalizer, a nice music player, and more. Any suggestions?

My choice would be CM10, definitely. It has a great buttons support. There are controls in the lockscreen, in the notifications and it supports headset button (Play/Pause), and volume buttons commands (Long press on Up/Down to change track). There is an equalizer too but it only works with apps that use the standard sound library for music (Soundcloud doesn't support it, but Google Play Music does).
Cheers !
If you use Spotify, the album art doesn't work with CM10.
I'd say anything based on CM7. I hear to a lot of music, and I use Poweramp with CM7.2 That is probably the best combination for me. With Poweramp, whenever I plug in a headset it automatically starts the music and with CM7 I use the volume rocker to change songs. So I never have to see my cellphon'es screen whenever I listen to music.
I also use WidgetLocker where I put the Poweramp widget in the bottom.
