Hi guys, I bought my razr (xt910) one week ago, and everything works fine, except for one thing, i can't set my default music player, Im using noozy as my music player, but when I try to open an mp3 file with the file explorer, it asks me to choose the default app for the mp3 file, but only shows the default music player and the ES music player (comes with ES file explorer), it does not give e the ption to use noozy as the default.
When I use one app like Endomondo that has an option to launch the music player, it launches the stock music player and not the one I really use, so can anyone answer how can I put noozy as the default music player?
PS: the launch by default option in setting/apps is greyed out and not changeable on all the apps mentioned above.
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi!
So i got a friend with an HTC and Android 2.1, and i would like to use the Music player (google APS) that comes with his custom ROM, is that possible in any way?
Has someone updated the default music player from the mini X10?
Thanks in advance!
I have switched to Meridian Player which is free on the Android market (even if unfortunately the developer has inserted an ad banner is his latest update)...

anyway, i tried meridian and did not like it, i am using doubletwist now!
I also want that music player
Try "cubed" music player. Absolutely the best. Cool interface, free, no ads
Try PowerAmp
Winamp is on the marketplace. It's winamp, it works great.
Any player with equalizer?

I like the "cubed" one too, but now use "doubleTwist" which inserts itself as the default player
i use RealPlayer
it also capable of handling photos and videos (cause our default gallery and video also sucks). it has an incredible interface. also widget.
I have updated my phone software to latest, then rooted and installed app2sd and everything works except musicplayer, allways showing empty music library...I have mp3 files in Music folder on sd card (/sdcard/music/album1) ...they work if I open root explorer and start 1 song then it plays...I tried other music players you sugested but with same problem...

Try btunes, you can specify the music folder and builds the library from there..
I use the '3' music player and have frozen the stock player. However, if I click on a mp3/4a file, it doesn't know what to do with it. I can't find a way to associate mp3/4a files with the 3 music player, I had to unfreeze the stock player, so it became visible with apps file associations, anyone know how to fix this. On GB 2.3.5

Did you clear the stock music player's launch by default setting?
Hi, yes, cleared defaults for stock player and 3 player, when I click on an mp3 file, I get asked to choose default action, I can choose stock player, but can't choose 3 player

What file explorer do you use? Many of them (Total Commander, ES file explorer, Root Explorer, etc.) will allow you to set a particular file extension to open with a particular app.
I'm using root explorer, if I choose the general tab, there are no apps available, the 3 player doesn't appear in the list of apps! I three problem is down to the 3 player. I'll install another player and see what happens

Just installed mixzing, and this appears in list of apps, looks like its a problem with the 3 player, I will contact the Dev

I loaded several songs on my tablet and can play them easily through ES File Explorer or whatever file explorer there is. After I start playing the songs, there has to be a way to keep it playing while I use the tablet for other functions, right? No matter what I try, the app just closes and the music stops. I just basically want to play some tunes locally and browse the web. Simple. Please tell me Android can do this.
Just use the Google music app. It plays local files.
More importantly than the file explorer you're opening the files in, what application is playing the songs?
The default Google Music player multitasks just fine with Chrome and ICS Browser--as well as pretty much any other app that doesn't want to play audio/video.
Not sure what you're doing that's giving you trouble, but you should be able to browse and rawk out just fine.

When I load up es file explorer to find the music files I want to play. Then I'll select a song. It will prompt which audio player to use. I'll select Google one. Starts playing. Then soon as I close file explorer the song stops playing. Can someone try those exact steps?
Just open the music player and let that find the files.
When you exit the music player press the home button, not back and it will keep playing.

That does not work either. This seems to be a small limitation of the device. Apparently the only way to keep music playing is you HAVE to load up the Google music player FIRST, select what you want to play and then you can hit the HOME button and it will keep playing. So basically you can only use the built-in Google music player app to keep music playing AND you have to open up the music player FIRST. I also have another small issue with this. When loading up the Google music player it displays all my music I have in the "cloud" and not what I have on my SD card. Or it is so mixed up, I can't even tell anymore since the player seems very limited right now. Too bad, because I'm pretty into music and Android doesn't seem to have all the stellar features it should have.
Why are you even bothering with the File Explorer?
Just open Google Music and it will find any songs on your device's storage.

This is NOT a limitation of the device. I replicated what you did and the reason why music dies out when opened via ES File Explorer is that it is using the native Google Music app to play audio WITHIN the ES File Explorer interface. ES File Explorer is programmed to stop the audio upon exit--this has nothing to do with Android or the Prime.
If you're dying to use a file explorer to open your music files rather than a much more conveniently designed music app, use the file explorer that comes with the tablet (File Manager). It opens selected music files and will continue playing even after exiting the manager.
Your confusion in the Music app can also be easily solved by selecting "Offline Music Only" in the settings menu. This will hide all music that is not currently stored on the device.
This is funny thread, problems multitasking? Really? Anyways try out poweramp music player for playing local media, blows away the stock Google one!
If you want to use es file explorer to play music, use the included es music player; it'll play music files in the background just fine.
Hello,
Recently I installed Poweramp on my phone (Galaxy S2 Android 2.3.6, rooted). When I used Google Search, and searched for a song, it opend the song in Poweramp. However after a few days my songs were played with the stock Music.apk. I tried reinstalling Poweramp, setting poweramp as the default music player, removing the stock Music.apk.
However, when I removed the stock Music.apk, Google Search couldn't find any songs anymore, so I reinstalled that app. When I'm opening a song in a file explorer, Poweramp is used.
How do I make Google Search use Poweramp instead of the stock Music app? Or does anybody know a search engine that doesn't force Music.app to be used?
Hi!
I can play FLAC files from within a file manager (EZ File Manager and Root Explorer). I get asked to use "Music" or "Google Play Music". Both work, but only a small music player opens!
But I can't get the FLAC files in the stock music player (in the list of music). Any ideas?
The FLAC songs are on external SD, but so are a lot of other songs.
Regards, Hode

You should probably download some other music player from Google Play.
Any recommandation?
I must say that stock music player is very good. Also tried google music with no luck
