I'm looking for a music app that does the following:
In the stock music app on 4.0 at least, you can swipe from right to left or whatever to switch tracks.
Is there an app that say, you have all songs playing from all artists on your phone and you come to a track playing by MxPx. you can swipe up and down to get to either more MxPx songs or stay in that album at least?
If not, I think this should be developed.
I've been thinking this should be done for quite some time now.
Thanks for any heads up
Although not exactly what you are talking about, on z player's now laying screen you can tap on the artist's name and it will take to you a set of screens where you can play their albums, read a Bio, or explore simular artists through web samples. Click on the album title, and you get a list of songs in that album. Tapping on the song name shows the songs in queue. (A now playing list, and you can save it too)

Hi all,
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here but I was flicking through some of the sample tracks that came with my Hero and then I clicked on one to make it play. Now I cannot get back to the screen where you can flick left and right through the cover-art of the tracks; I can only see the lists of albums/artists etc, not the iphone like cover-flo...
Help!

There is a button in the bottom right corner while the track is playing and the music app is open to switch between cover flow and list view.
Thanks but that doesn't help. I can get the view up so that an album is displayed on the screen, but it says 1 of 1 and I cannot scroll left or rigt to other albums no matter what I do.
How frustrating, I don't get what's happened here? What could have changed?
Lol, can someone please assist, I just know the solution is right under my nose...
Not sure its the same problem but I couldnt search by cover flow either so I tried a few things
I rarely browse by artist and pick the first artist - I have found that this option gave me back the cover flow to scroll across all the albums for all artists
Strangely, album browse only gives the list view as do all the others - hope this helps a little

Go to the music app, use the bottom left button to go to music selection. Select the albums tab (second tab). Menu -> Play all. It will enqueue all your albums and you can now flick through them in a coverflow style in the main music app.
Awesome! Thanks for that. I appreciate I may seem a little stupid for not realising that's what I had to do, but come on - hardly intuitive now is it?
I agree, had the same problem for a while.
Is there a way to disable the shuffle play feature in the Miui music player?
Thank you.

I know it is a bit of an inconvenience, but the only way I have found is to long press the back button and it will close the app and then you can restart the music app. I have tried hitting the shuffle play button for a second time and have been unsuccessful at getting this to work. Just my way that I have found.
When its playing a song hit the shuffle icon, it will change to two straight lines instead of crossed lines, and say "shuffle off".
Are there any apps that will play lyrics as the current song is playing without changing screen.
ie, in PlayerPro the left half of the screen shows the album cover, while the whole right hand side just shows the song title.
Would be cool if the right hand portion of the screen could scroll the lyrics to that particular song?
Or am i asking too much? (not meant sarcasticly)
Bump

If you start the music player you'll have a listing of your library based on artists, albums, music square, etc.
As soon as you start playing music the only way I've found to get back to that screen is to tap on the music square icon (which then takes you to the music square tab in the library view). However, if you disable the music square in the settings this button disappears and I haven't found a way yet to get back to the library screen except for enabling the square again...
That's somehow really weird or am I missing something?
Try the button in the bottom right corner

That button takes me to the current playlist, not the media library. Pushing the top right 'back' button takes me back to the player and not to the media library as I would expect.

are you playing the music thru the music widget? if yes, you will need to go into music player by go thru your app drawer. then press the back button until you get the 'all' playlist which allow you to choose sort by artist or album ...

Hi,
I installed Winamp Pro on my Galaxy S3 (running 4.0.4), but when I try and use the controls on my Bluetooth headphones it launches the stock music app. Is there any way to set it so that those controls control Winamp instead? I have the relevant check box checked in Winamp, but it doesn't appear to make a difference.
Also, when the stock music app is launched via the icon in the regular app list, you are taken to a view where at the top of the screen it says All, Playlists, Albums, Artists etc. How do you get to this view if you launch the app via the widget?
When I click on the widget it brings up the main screen, but it displays the album art for the current track along with player controls. I can scroll left and right to change tracks, but only for that particular album. If I press the little on-screen button (bottom-right) I get a text based list of tracks, but again, for the current album only. I can't get to that screen that has "All, Playlists, Albums" etc. at the top in order to select a different album or browse my library.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi,
For the second part of your query, I believe this is a bug (which I intend to contact Samsung about today).
There is a way around it: from the screen you've described, there should be a button at the right under the album art (next to the shuffle and repeat controls). If you press this it takes you to the "music square" screen. At the top you will now have the menu for playlists, artists, etc.
On mine, in order to not have to scroll across the top, I've disabled everything except Artist and Music Square. Unfortunately you can't disable music square as this also disables the button!
As for the first part, I'm not entirely sure for Winamp but the option to respond to Bluetooth (or headset) controls should be within the Winamp settings (something like "override headset buttons" or something.
Thanks for the reply.
After starting this thread, I noticed that "music square" workaround when watching YouTube vids of people showing off the phone. I had hidden that option, which is why I was finding it impossible to get back to that main menu!
As for Winamp, I've switched to another player now, but I believe Winamp has now been updated to fix the problem I mentioned.
