I have a 2013 Chevy Sonic with the MyLink touchscreen radio and the whole nine yards. I use Spotify constantly while I'm on the road, playing via Bluetooth. While I was running AOSP Roms it would show the artist, song, album, etc. on the screen. While running stock Roms it doesn't do this. I thought maybe it was a KitKat feature but I'm now running malladus 2.0 and it still doesn't show the info. Its nice to be able to see what song is playing while using one of the artist radio stations so I don't have to pick up the phone and look while driving. Is there a way to add this functionality into a stock ROM and what is added to AOSP for this?

Hello everyone.
I would like to ask you for a favor.I really like these two radio stations (DI.FM & SKY.FM) or these two websites with different internet radio channels.The first one streams all styles of electronic music and the second one all kinds of music...such as 80's,alternative rock,classical music etc....well,this is where I need your help....they have two applications for android:
-DI.FM
di.fm/apps/android/download
-SKY.FM
sky.fm/apps/android/download
Could you please download one or both,install it and try to see if you can make it work?.On my Dell Streak with 2.2 it gets stuck and seems like it is gonna start working or it only works once,after that it does not work any-longer.I have been exchanging emails with the developers and so far they say that it is working on some 2.2 android devices.
I know it could be too much to ask since everyone of us is always busy,but this would be a good idea if you like these styles of music.....there are lots of channels in either app.
So if you install it,or you want to report the bugs to the dev's I will really appreciate it and we can all take advantage of this music.
Thanks very much and have a great day.
I use the di.fm app everyday on my streak!! Way more than slacker and sirius xm combined!
The trick is to go into the settings and change the stream format /bandwidth settings from aac to mp3
Btw, search google for idma (international dance music awards) and go vote #18 for di.fm as best electronic radio show!!

I d/l and am trying sky.fm. After changing Basic Bandwidth to the mp3 settings (cellular and wifi), it's working!
Hi guys.
Thanks so much for your support and time.I switched those settings as you described and the dev recommended,it is a little better but I can't listen to all of the radio stations yet.
It is very sluggish and laggy on my Streak,even after resetting the whole thing a couple of times.
Once again thank you for your time.
u should try connected music player from the motorola defy port.. ull never use any other app afterwards
I picked up my Note the other day and I have come across an interesting situation.
My Mazda3 has built in Bluetooth and I can stream to it no problem. When I did so on my old Infuse, the display on my car only ever said BT, no track number or play timer. Now with the Note, there are areas that show the track and play time. When I play anything with the Samsung music app, the track number increments properly, but the play time stays at 0:00. With Google Music, any track I play shows 600 for track number and the play time stays at 0:00.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
EDIT: I should probably mention that for now I'm on stock Gingerbread.
Yea, it's just the way the software works with a2dp from what I understand. Every music app will be a bit different if they support the feature at all.
But then why didn't the Infuse have the same behavior?

I'm encountering issues. On the stock Note GB ROM, mp3 tag data was showing up in the display of my factory head unit on my Infiniti G37xS.
After applying the ICS leak, this functionality no longer works. This also worked with my Skyrocket and the stock ROM. In all cases, I was using the default "Music Player" application.
Does anyone know of any market players that support tag (or even album art) over bluetooth?
Thanks,

Thanks to all poster or submitting such useful information, really liking the forum and members for their great support
Thanks all

Sounds like some of the functionality isn't complete or was left out of the ICS leak. Could be either the BT driver or the Music app. Let's hope it gets better with future leaks or official.
I would like to know if there are any apps that support full track info.

Different build? Not sure. This is the first phone I've ever had that displays info on the screen. I've used bt streaming since the tilt 2

I just sent an email to the developer of PowerAmp on this exact subject. I have a Lexus that works just fine with my Son's 4S - displays everything on the screen. So it must be doable and its good to hear that at least GB Note has it somewhat working - so I think it is up to the app developers to get there code tweaked to support it.

Very cool for you to do that! Hope this sheds some light!

Any news from that Dev?
Also CM9 is supposed to enable the track number, time and track info display.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20091-request-avrcp-13-for-cars-w-bluetooth-built-in-etc/page__st__30
So there are some differences in ICS versus Gingerbread which give me some hope.
So now on ICS using the same version of Google Play Music Instead of getting the 600 as the track number and 000 as the play time, i just get dashes. But on ICS I actually get the rest of the track info, like artist, song and album. So two steps forward, one step back.
I have included some photos
ICS likes to pause music for a split second while the camera snaps a photo, so BT shows as paused and continues showing that even after playback has resumed. So in the photo you can't actually see the dashes I described.
Does anyone know where the settings are for this?
Every time I connect to my car, either the music app or, now since I installed this other music app, starts automatically.
This is really annoying if say for instance I just want to play Pandora.
I'm on saurom 7.1.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I couldn't seem to find anything about this through the search.

This is a major shortcoming of android imho. Try headset button controller from the market.
Which music player ate you using?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Well, originally it was doing it with the standard music app that came with Saurom, I didn't uninstall that or anything, but now that I installed Meridian, it does it with that now.
I couldn't find any settings in meridian for that, but I guess I can check again,I may look in the standard music app's settings as well.

Yeah whenever I connect to my Ford Sync system, my BT audio always starts playing at some random song and usually midway. Rather annoying since my wife's ip4s commands are obeyed perfectly and BT audio waits for her to tell the system what song/album/artist to play.

Anyone managed to find a solution? This is so annoying.
OK...since moving to Jelly Bean (multiple ROM's tested) one thing that is a CONSTANT failure is music apps. Whether its Apollo, JetAudio, Rocket Player, PowerAMP, Google Music, etc they ALL crash or simply won't start/play music at all.
All my music is MP3 format so its not a compatibility issue. It happens on multiple Jelly Bean ROM's so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.
Thought it might be a issue with my SD card but everything else on it works fine (including movies and games) and putting music on the internal storage brings the same results.
I'm just at a loss here...first my GPS doesn't work (on Straight Talk...still haven't fixed this) and now not even my music will work? I'm starting to think my Note is screwy...but these are honestly the only issues I've had so far.
If anyone knows anything just let me know, thanks!
I had to go back to an ICS ROM to get Google music to work.

Were other music apps behaving badly as well or was it just Google Music?
Well, I pulled the battery and reinstalled PowerAMP and it seems to work fine now.
I guess I gotta get used to the fact that Android/Note/Jelly Bean is like BlackBerry where to fix a problem you just have to pull the plug and restart!

Includes Sony walkman as an add on, just follow the links
The only issues I had was none of the players start a song and crash. Restart app and good from then on

I was running CM10 and had a running app that announces the distance every mile. Once the first announcement was made all other music apps would no longer work ( mort player and poweramp) . Had to reboot to get things going again.
I went back to ICS because of too many bugs..

Have you tried going into settings/apps/currently running... and do a force close of any music app that's running? You may have to hit close more than once. That works for me

I don't have enough posts to reply to the Development section, but I'm really digging this ROM. For me, most everything works including GPS. I've used Sygic and am really impressed with the speed in which the GPS locks (in doors). I will be on this Rom for awhile. Everything is super smooth using the Apollo Launcher. The Beanstalk over the air updates don't work and the battery takes longer to charge then 10.1. Maybe this will be fixed in future updates.
I would be interested if anyone on this Rom has suggestions for the included Android Tweaker program. Are there any settings which benefit the Rom? Also, are there any developer options which improve the Rom.
Everything I use my player for works great on BeanStalk: GPS, Bluetooth music streamer (car stereo), and Music Player. Great Job Meticulus!
For my US Player 5.0, applying the settings in the 3rd post below made a huge difference.. Night and day. You need adb working to do them.
