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.
As the title suggests I'm looking for widgets that work with the stock music player.
At the moment the only 2 options I know of are:
Music Timer Widget
Widgetsoid2.x
Music Timer seems to do a good enough job.
The controls possible with Widgetsoid do work but they don't always update visually.
Are there any other options I should be aware of? (Apart from using a different music player of course)
Never used the stock music player. Pay and get the Poweramp player worth every penny and has a few nice widgets.

I've tried PowerAMP Music Player but I'm not a big fan of the lockscreen widget (more specifically the fact that unlocking goes to the stock lockscreen) and the notification entry.
I like the way that the stock player is integrated into the lockscreen and also that there are controls on the notification entry.
The stock player does a great job, except for the fact that it doesn't have a dedicated widget.
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 really love the stock music player that comes with the evo lte but since i run go launcher as my launcher i dont have access to its widget. is there a way to hack the playerpro 4X2 widget to control the stock player? i would really love that cause i think playerpro has got the best music widget out there. can anyone advise? thank you

Power amp can use the stock lock screen widget, you should check it out

Hey so I'm using a SE X10 running Oodie's CM V3. It has lockscreen gestures which include music controls, but these only work for the stock music player, and the same goes for the lockscreen music widget. I want to use the gestures for Poweramp but I don't think this is possible. So I was wondering, is it possible to make an app that does nothing but music controls? That way, I can set the gestures to run an activity or app instead to get them to control Poweramp. Or does something like that exist already? I don't want to use 3rd party lockers, they're either too slow or don't let me set a passcode. Thanks!
