Currently using the "twilight" theme, with the default music widget for that theme! zero customization done.
Every time I open from the music widget it asks me to pick a music player, even though I only use Google Play music. Any idea how to just make this open up automatically?

Hi,
Just to clarify, you applied the Twilight theme, then went to music player and select Google Play Music as your default music player? Did you do anything else after that, such as restarting your phone or switching to another theme? If so, Themer resets your default player, and you'll have to set it back.
You can also long press on the homescreen - select Themer Settings - App Preferences - Music - Google Play Music.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply! I actually did exactly that way, and haven't rebooted or anything. It just happens every time I click the widget, even though the default is set in the Themer settings.
Even if I switch songs, go back to my homescreen, and go back into the music app I have to choose which again.
Thoughts? Maybe a bug with the widget?

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.
I've been doing some searching on various sites, all of it fruitless so far, so here I am to ask the hive mind.
I need a music player that has a widget with large-ish controls, say 2x or 3x or so the size of the standard music app widget that comes with CM 7.1 stable. It doesn't need to show album art, but it would be a nice touch to retain the repeat mode icon and shuffle icon, in addition to the standard previous/next/play-pause controls.
Why do I want such a widget? For easier control when I have the Nook propped up on the exercise bike at the gym.
Thanks!
You can look to widgesoid, you can make lot of widget personalization including music control. Mix this with a launcher that allow widget resizing like go launcher or launcher pro..

I tried Winamp's widets, the playback controls were still tiny, as were the stock Gingerbread music players'. I'm running ADWLauncher, and I tried to resize the widgets, but even though I could bring up a resize box, I couldn't get them to scale up.
What about putting the player buttons in the notification power wigets?

I checked the power widget options, and didn't see anything about music player options. Also, I did see the CM options to let the volume button long-presses control the music, but when I tried them, I got no response for several seconds, then the payer went "nuts" skipping forward as fast as it could about 40 times or so.

Unfortunately neither of those are legitimately free. Is there a free option that has large widgets?

cm settings/interface/notification power widget/widget buttons/ , you should see media:skip(next/previous),medialay pause. kind of limited but may serve your purpose.

I purchased both Player Pro & PowerAmp. In my opinion, they're both worth the money.
Try winamp.
I also need such a full screen widget say with 4 rectangle main playback controls so each one would gets placed on every quarter of screen
Or realize an on screen floating D-pad (pretty missing feature on android) scrolling huge lists etc…
It will be much more delicious being combined with #popup-wigdet app
(Dont suggest me trying root-needing features since every devices aint rooted / rootable)
Experts, I was wondering if they make an app for android that shows what song is 'now playing'. No controls, no album art, just a simple text that shows what song is playing. And is this app able to read the song 'now playing' from aftermarket players such as Zplayer, etc?
I really hope there is, but can't seem to find it without flashing to a MIUI Rom, and I really don't want to.
Thanks everyone!

Now Playing? I didn't understand, really.
You can get the MIUI ROM, extract the player and install it!
Download one from Defy or other devices.

Except I don't know how to do anything like that. I am seriously computer hacking illiterate. I can use the computer, but not make it do what I want!
And now playing, you know when you look at your player, it shows the song its playing, including album art, controls, artist, etc. What I am looking for is just the song title, nothing else.
I have my player widget hidden, so whenever I am on my home screen, the widget is gone until I hit the music icon, then it shows the widget with controls and everything. What I want is just the song title playing to show as another widget that I can place at the bottom of my screen, make sense?
Screenshot 1 shows the player, extended, and screenshot 2 shows it hidden. What I would like to do is show the title at the bottom of the screen in screen shot 3, without all that crappy stuff in the background (I squished the widget to make it do that, but looks like crap)

If you select Play Music, what happens next? For the Gameboy theme it should remain your default player, only when switching to another theme will it ask you again what is your preferred music player.

Thats what i thought too. it just pops back up with the same list. its not the end of the world i though maybe i can just change the shortcut.
I think it might be based on how the theme was made. I had the city theme a it had the problem but my current theme works as intended

I was thinking about the same thing
Agree. I had problems with a theme but I changed theme and the issue was gone. :good:
Why does themer ask for notification access when I set up an on tap to use themer open player or themer music source? I don't use music widgets in my themes anymore and never will. Frankly, they are useless. Was fun to play with them and set them up at first, but I would rather just use the native music app. So, I do not need themer to have notification access for music widgets. I want open player to work without asking me for notification access.

Hi,
Try this: hold down on the homescreen - Themer Settings - App Preferences - Music - then change it to your preferred music app.

Yea that's how I have the shortcut set up now. Poweramp is my most used player so I set themer Music to that. Then set up my Zooper on tap to use that. But previously, I could set it to open player and it would open whatever player I was currently running. Which I thought was very cool. Now it wants access to notifications to use that feature..

We apologize for this, but the developers might have incorporated this to help other users to display their music information.
