I currently use Musicbee on my laptop - any suggestion as to a great one for the NT?
PowerAmp is my favorite android music player, but it has a bit of an issue with the status bar being on the bottom of the screen, making it hard to click on certain settings. I just use Google Music on it for the time being.
Google music here, can't beat the streaming.

Google music in conjunction with Pure Music App. The pure music widget has a back button which I find useful.

Don't know if this already mentioned but my default car dock now shows Pandora rather than Tune In Radio. When the car dock starts, you can see that one widget change from TuneIn Radio to Pandora. I also just now noticed that if you flick the screen to the left 2 times, it should list your music players you have on your phone. Whatever from the list is the last one used, is the one that will come up in the car dock default widget.

Nice tip. Now I can use Pandora while on the car dock mode. :good:
In an interview about the phone before release the rep stated you would be able to make your own shortcuts to other apps (he expressly stated music and other), glad to see they didn't make him a liar like they have done to so many other reps
You rooted or stock? I went between stock car dock and another market one this passed weekend. Stock never changed or allowed me to put Pandora in.

I forgot how to do it but its there, it should be an option when removing links
Would love to know how you did that, it doesnt show up for me.
Yup, I knew it'd be there when I saw the one x get it.
It replaces the music shortcut on the home page, with the last used music app.

I'm rooted running Stock with Goodies with the latest OTA. All I did from the car dock home screen is scroll to the right til you see the music apps you have installed on your phone. You have to have more than just the built-in TuneIn Radio. Choose a music app and go back to the Car dock home screen and it should replace the default TuneIn radio shortcut with the music player you just chose.
How does it decide what a music app is? It doesn't look like its picking up Play Music or Dogcatcher, the two I would care about.
I'm using CarHome Ultra because it seems to have nice customization options.
One of them being it will start up when my bluetooth connects to my car. I also like the fact I can put shortcuts to facebook, Gmail, etc on one of the numerous screens.

I'd really like to know how you did that. I want to add either Pandora or Slacker in there. TuneIn isn't really useful to me.

I second this question. When you swipe left twice, it actually just gives you the options for Internet radios (TuneIn, TuneIn Pro, SoundHound, and Pandora for me), but there's no option to change what music player is being used. The one used by default is HTC's Music player, which only plays music stored on the phone/sd card. Like maxpower, I'd like to use Play Music, as all my music is stored in Google's cloud.

It has already been stated twice, the last music app that you used is what will show up in the tile on the car home screen. This is the only way you can change it. You can also add additional music apps by going to the HTC music app, then hitting menu, then add app shortcut. I added SiriusXM this way, now it shows on in the car music apps screen.
Wow.. Thanks.. It does work.. Went to the default music app.. Hit menu and added Google play music.. Went to car dock app.. Swiped left and tapped on the play music icon and now it's on the front of the dock app.. Thanks again..

After all this time I never knew those options was there. Now I use the car mode a lot more.

This is cool but it doesn't recognize my Akimbo audiobook player as a media player :crying:

You sir are a genius.. its stupid you have to do this but awesome you found it
Is there a way to launch and control apps on my Note Edge using the Gear S? I have a few apps like Beyond pod and Google Play that I would really like to launch and control while running. The only app that I see that I can launch and control is the Milk app but it's not the best app for listening to music.
You can set the music player to control songs from your watch or your phone. In my car I have music on a USB stick. Once paired with my Gear S, I can also use it to forward etc. From the music app, click the 3 dots in the upper right corner, select mobile device or gear.
Thanks! How do I launch Google Music using the watch? I can only launch Milk using my watch but would prefer using other music apps without having to pull my phone out of my pocket while driving.
You can launch apps on your phone using appsgo app from the watch
Hey XDA-Developers Community!
I've got a Problem regarding the Voice Control Features for Music Playback on Android Wear.
I often use it to quickly start listening to Music of a certain Artist, by saying something like: play [artist].
But when doing this on my Moto 360 it always launches the SoundCloud app and searches for the corresponding Artist there.
However, I want this to be done with Google Play Music or the Music app provided by CM11.
When using Google Now on my Phone (LG G3 running CM11) I can choose which app should be used for Playback and it always uses my Preset.
I have "Music Playback" set to Play Music in the Android Wear Application and reset any default Actions in the app Directory of the Phone Settings.
I hope that someone maybe had the same Issue and/or knows a Way around it.
Greetings from Germany and I wish you all an awesome (hopefully sunny) Sunday!
Hi can i force Ubiquity to be used only with Spotify ? Because it's currently used with all other music/video apps (Youtube...). I'm asking this because whenever it's used with another app the widget stops working with Spotify and i need to relaunch it. Thanks !
