Hello Folks,
This is a problem that I had on the venerable HTC Touch Pro, and hoped I wouldn't have an issue with an HTC android phone - but have been sorely disappointed.
I've been trying to find a quality media player for audiobooks - but any media player I've tried has questionable bluetooth performance at best. Sometimes I'll be able to control playback via A2DP for a while - but eventually I'll find that pressing the button on my headset will kick off the stock HTC Music player and NOT the software I'm using.
I've tried removing the Music widget, and changing settings in the music player, clearing data - etc.
How can I prevent the stock music player from hogging the A2DP connection? To be honest - the only grief I have with the stock player is that if I use a lot of other apps at one time, the music player will lose it's spot within a file. Which is a pain for audiobooks. I'd greatly appreaciate any help.
Well - I never found a solution, but I have found a good work around that seems to fix the major issue I had.
I got rid of the music widget, and cleared out all data from the app. Then added a wav file that was just one second of silence. I created a new playlist - and added only that wav file. I played the playlist, then closed out of the app.
Now - I use Akimbo for audiobooks and enabled the bluetooth controls. This way, Akimbo responds to the A2DP controls as I wish - and I suspect the music player does so as well. But the Music player plays 1 second of silence and then stops.
It's not the most elegant of solutions - but it works. I can fully control Akimbo via my headset and don't have to worry that the Music player would play over it.

Is there a way to make the music player play an album or a playlist and then just STOP? I can't find any options to change the behaviour of the player and I don't want it to loop forever!
For being branded Sony the music player in this phone is pretty "basic" to say the least.
Yeah the player isn't great, I use the doubleTwist media player myself.
I have installed "Meridian Media Player Pioneer" from the Android market and I can recommend this little free application. I see some negative comments in the market about the interaction with the developer if you buy the "professional" version but I must say that the free version is very nice and according to the description it should play FLAC files too (haven't tried yet).
The application has all the settings you expect in a music player, including looping one song, the full playlist or not looping at all.
Hello together,
I use Windows Media Player and automatic generated Playlists and sync them with Windwos Media Player to my Android (SGS2). I could not find any music player that plays (shows) the wpl playlists, only the stock music player. But the Stock music player doesnt remember the last playlist / track / position in the track where I stopped and I love this feature.
I want to use this in my car. Connect to car-radio by bluetooth, autostart Musikc player (with Locale) and now I need a player with the requirements I explained above (and automaticly start playing music on app start if possible).
Anyone got an idea?
I am sorry, I just saw the wpl-files are converted into .pla files on the phone. So I need a player that detects and plays pla
Hi!
I have installed Google Music, which I would like to use to sync/listen to music. My problem is that externally controlling playback (play/pause/skip) does not automatically control Google Music, but the stock Gingerbread Music player.
Of course, from within the Google Music app itself it works, but external control like from the CyanogenMod lock screen widget or from Bluetooth AVRCP commands it always starts playing on the stock player.
It actually works after I launch Google Music once manually. It seems to control the last used/active app automatically, which is good. But when there's nothing running, it defaults to the stock player.
Is there a way to change that? It's annoying especially with Bluetooth AVRCP and A2DP in the car...
Thanks!

Actually, after some time (when Google Music is closed down automatically?) it plays the stock player even if I had been using Google Music previously.
Is there a way to uninstall the stock player just to test if it helps?
I am not sure how exactly to search for or find this specific feature when searching the android market for an audio player.
What I am looking for is an audio player that keeps track of the current position of the audio file being played, in a specific album, so that I can continue playing from there the next time I open that album. It should allow me to switch between albums, and keep and restore to the last track played for each album (or playlist). It should obviously also remember this for when I close and reopen the player.
Is anyone aware of such a audio player?
Thanks for the help

Hi !
I joust bought my redmi note 2, i'm happy with it, however i have this weird problem.
I downloaded an app to hear audiobooks (material audiobook player), when closing the app and starting it again the position is remembered, however when you tap play the audiobook starts from the begging.
It seems that the miui music control is somehow restarting the book from the begining.
I tried with other many apps for audiobooks such as smart audiobook player or mort player audiobooks with the same exact problem.
It works with other apps such as poweramp, i suspect because of its capability to handle directly music files (open with).
Even when removing the music bar by renaming the miui statusbar_music.saml the problem remains.
I don't know how to trace the problem since im new to the miui ecosystem, and to android rom development in general.
