[Q] Suggestions for a tablet media player? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, I don't know if General is the correct location for this question, but it's the most-correct I could find for the moment. I use a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (that's sadly on the fritz right now), and I haven't been able to find any media player for it since I got it that's set up for a tablet. The buttons are always small, the layouts are always off-center or just out of convenient reach, and they look absurdly stretched-out. I've tried searching Google and the app store for anything, but I can't seem to come across any decent "designed-for-tablet" players. Does such a thing exist? Does anyone know of one that provide large buttons and whatnot, despite not being designed for a tablet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've tried: Google Music, Rocket Player, Shuttle+, Phonograph, and Musixmatch so far.

[Q] Control spotify on android tab from android phone

Hi everybody
I have a Android based tablet(junpad, like flypad) that i have as a spotify player.
Now i woundering if ther is any apps that make it possible for me to use my galaxy s or laptop as a remotecontrol to change track etc, etc. have looked at Remote Web Desktop but i cant control spotify through that. And DroidMote Server does not work on the tablet for some reason.
So, is there any aps out there that fits me?
I can connect a wireless usb mouse to the tablet, but how cool is that? Would be nice with a app or something
No one knows anyting that can work?
I'm gonna drudge this up instead of starting a new thread. Same question. I would like to control Spotify from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with my Galaxy S III...
... also same questiion....
Did you get any further with this?
It would be great if Spotify could enable an option to play music on any other device (with the same user registered).
My best solution so far is with Spot Commander; an android application which controls a spotify server on a Linux netbook.
But I'd prefer to use an obsolete Android phone - since it would use much less power - also in stand-by. Another idea - perhaps the spot commander server application (which is Open Source) could be ported to the Raspberry Pi.
Media Remote
Media Remote by appshroom works but is pretty limited.
Hey folks,
Sorry to kick up an old thread, but I was Googling around to find the answer to the question posed above and I thought maybe answering this thread would help the next guy. It seems that if you want to control Spotify on Android from another Android, you can do so using DroidRemote. The downside to doing it this way is that it uses bluetooth.
I'd really prefer a way to do it via WiFi as its' range is higher and I don't have to turn on the bluetooth radio just for this purpose, which in turn consumes my precious mAh's. It'd also be dandy if I could use my Windows box to control Spotify on Android.
This Galaxy Tab 2 will do nicely as a Spotify player but controlling it remotely would be even more boss.
Hello,
Is there any new solution to remote control Spotify on tablet from a phone ? Is there no tweak available or mod ? Even if you root your phone / tab ?
Regards.

I second this question.
I have a small Minix as my spotify player connected to my TV and surround system. I have been searching forever for a solution that will allow me to control the Minix spotify session from my Nexus7 Tablet.
Any suggestions? Please!!!!!

Android to Android Bluetooth audio

Hi xda'ers,
I'm looking for a little help with getting one Android device to be able to stream its audio to another Android device. Specifically I want to stream music but I'd also like notification sounds and other audio to stream.
I have a second, older phone, that I am repurposing.
If anyone can offer me advise on this I would appreciate it. Doesn't seem Google had much for me.
you can check this one, I found it on the market:

[Q] Control Google Play Music on my tab from my phone

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can offer any suggestions on this.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) and a Galaxy S3
I play music with Google Play Music on my tab, and I want to be able to control it (change track, playlists, etc) from my phone.
Both Android, both Samsung, same application. Surely there must be something out there that can do this.
Essentially I want to use my phone as a remote control.
Ive looked, and I cant find anything, short of installing an ugly VNC connection on the tab.
If not, has anyone ever considered looking into it?
Thanks
Howie
I don't think Play Music supports remote device controlling yet, as far as I know. This would have to be built into the app in much the same way TV pairing is built into the Youtube app and not the device itself. Or so I think, but I could be wrong.

there is a great remote app for grooveshark that does this. I have not found anything for play music yet.

Running Android on a Large Touch Screen?

I'm setting up a TV in my kitchen and what I'd really like to do is install a touchscreen monitor and run Android on it. The idea is to be able to run Android apps such as Plex, Calendar, Google Keep and my Central Heating app as well as Music players etc, which will all link into my Chromecast Audio setup. I'm struggling to find a large enough tablet, which would have been the easiest option, and I'm struggling to find an easy way to do this.
Is it possible? If so, where should I start, I feel like I've been looking in the wrong places. If it's not possible, is there another way to get a similar result?
Thanks!

Assistance Required with Google Music Next/Previous Buttons

Hi All,
Recently purchased and installed a Joying head unit (4GB, PX5 Octa Core) (link)
I use google music for all my music needs. I have uploaded all my personal music onto the google music cloud servers so I can stream or download them whenever I want making it an ideal solution. I installed the google music app on my android head unit and everything works great appear from one small thing.
The steering wheel NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons are not responding on the music app. Its killing me cause at the moment every time I have to change a song ive got to touch the screen (not ideal when driving).
Volume buttons work fine but ive tried different things to try and get the other buttons to work within the app like button re mappers via the app store etc.
Does anyone know of any way to get the NEXT and PREVIOUS song wheel buttons to work with the google music app. I will love you so much
I think its a software thing with the app cause poweramp and some other music players work with the wheel buttons. If this is the case I was hoping that there is an app that can run in the background which can pickup the wheel buttons and translate them so they work with the google music app.
Any assistance would be great. I hope someone can help.
Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issue with Spotify.
Try MTCD forums as you have a MTCD not MTCB unit. Suggest searching first for the answer.
