Hello Folks,
This is a problem that I had on the venerable HTC Touch Pro, and hoped I wouldn't have an issue with an HTC android phone - but have been sorely disappointed.
I've been trying to find a quality media player for audiobooks - but any media player I've tried has questionable bluetooth performance at best. Sometimes I'll be able to control playback via A2DP for a while - but eventually I'll find that pressing the button on my headset will kick off the stock HTC Music player and NOT the software I'm using.
I've tried removing the Music widget, and changing settings in the music player, clearing data - etc.
How can I prevent the stock music player from hogging the A2DP connection? To be honest - the only grief I have with the stock player is that if I use a lot of other apps at one time, the music player will lose it's spot within a file. Which is a pain for audiobooks. I'd greatly appreaciate any help.
Well - I never found a solution, but I have found a good work around that seems to fix the major issue I had.
I got rid of the music widget, and cleared out all data from the app. Then added a wav file that was just one second of silence. I created a new playlist - and added only that wav file. I played the playlist, then closed out of the app.
Now - I use Akimbo for audiobooks and enabled the bluetooth controls. This way, Akimbo responds to the A2DP controls as I wish - and I suspect the music player does so as well. But the Music player plays 1 second of silence and then stops.
It's not the most elegant of solutions - but it works. I can fully control Akimbo via my headset and don't have to worry that the Music player would play over it.
can any of you upload a stock music player of cm7? im on dax's themed rom and i kinda don't like its music player..plz upload anyone
It's in the attachment. But I strongly reccomend to use Google Music/PlayerPro/Cubed/doubleTwist/PowerAMP.
Cubed (3) and doubleTwist are free, but if you like the stock one you should use PlayerPro.
thanks +1! you saved my frustration..

stock music player is good, however google shall add some nice features and new glorious look,
bad thing is that it does not have equalizer =(
is anyone having beat skips on any player other than stock player..
i tried winamp and Mixzing, and in both all song skips at 2-3 parts..
I was getting BZZZT noises all throughout songs in random places with the stock music player and Google music beta app. I switched to playerpro and I'm not having any issues.
It's called noise reduction, if you have noice in stock player than either there is a problem with your device's audio playback or your music is noisy. In most cases it's the second one.
try ttpod! best ui

O MY GOSH, thank you SO MUCH for the Cubed (3) recomendation... this is the ONLY music player so far i have found that has the ability to CLEAR the now playing list... so you cant press pause/play and have music play at any time.
anyone can please upload stock camera flashable zip file

Not work on stock rom ... I have XLQE
Just install Google Play Music..
Automatically syncs with DSP manager
:good:
really good sound
dsp manager and apollo make by far the best sound for my music, I immediately noticed the difference, I downloaded other music players and by far nothing beats apollo and dsp manager and tbh I am not particularly fond of how apollo player works, i dont like the fact it doesnt have the ability to play music by folders and when you are searching for a particular song it wont give a drop down menu with pre-search matches like most other players do, it is clunky to make a 'play list' not really great for helping you search the song you need to find (specially when you got 10gigs of music in your sd card) but I just cant leave apollo+dsp player due to how amazing the sound quality is, and I know prob some musicians or sound experts out there can get better sound quality with other players that have the advanced features to tune different sounds but I am not a sound expert and I dont really know how to 'tune' this players to what I get out of the box with apollo+dsp manager.
Does anyone know of a player that syncs with dsp manager as well as apollo does, I tried a few but no cigar

Try Play music,,
Now I am using Viper4android with toggling between Play music and xperia walkmaan Music player... It is awesome..
Just buy a decent pair of in-ears (what I prefer) or buy good headphones.
Also it's a bit of a personal thing, others want more bass and less treble.. Also depends on what kind of music you listen.
Personally I like and have the Sennheiser CX-400 Precision, it produces a ''Lifelike Sound''. It all sounds really natural.
Also depends if you buy/download the song in ''Original state'' MP3 file in 320kbps or FLAC (around 1000kbps) or rip it from YouTube. Want to mention that you almost can't notice any difference between MP3 and FLAC when listening with normal speakers, with good headphones/in-ears you do but not a lot, but you can hear the sound is a bit more sharp.
The worst thing you can do is rip song from YouTube because it's already converted once while uploading it so audio quality isn't as good as the original copy, and then you are gonna rip it from YouTube and than it becomes again a bit worse, even if you convert it to 320kbps, it is already not a real 320kbps one anymore.
About the music players.. I'm stuck with Poweramp, with his features like cross-fade which you can set per ms, the themes you can apply for a nice KitKat/Jelly Bean or whatever you want interface, and the ability that you can long-press the song you're playing at the moment and get a pop-up of,
1) All the music from that specific artist.
2) The whole album of the relevant song you're playing.
3) The map where the file is in.
Good audio quality depends on multiple things.
Peace.

Yup most my music is either 192 or 320kbps just because I 'suffer' from real fine audio detection in my ears and it bugs the **** out of me when my music doesnt sound crisp and detailed with each instrument noticeable within the music. I call it 'suffering' because when I hear the fukin radio or some other low quality audio source (Pandora on low bandwith setting blaawhh).
So I immediately noticed when I played music through Apollo with the DSP manager in the settings I preferred. I have tried power amp, google play music, and many other players and equalizers in the Play Store and around the web (viper4android) and its just not the same for MY preference of audio. Granted I am not an audio engineer so it is prob me not knowing how to tune the different audio tools but for my low level audio exp Apollo+dsp manager in android kitkat has been by far my favorite.

apollo and dsp are also my fave but i used to have zplayer before and that has excellent bass when enabled. removed it due to being over crowded. apollo is excellent
I've recently been playing with the different music apps on the S6 Edge, and in the process I've noticed that there is a difference in terms of sound quality between the stock Samsung Music app and the Google Play Music app. I compared the two apps (plus a few more from the Play Store), without any EQ, sound effect or anything like that, and noticed that they sound different. Why might that be? Might there be a difference in how they output sound to the audio hardware?
You can tweak audio settings in both but they both lead to the same menu. Google streams so it is WIFI quality dependant whereas the stock app local media
Does anyone know any solution for making any equalizer work with soundcloud ? I guess, those you used or use soundcloud, noticed that no equalizer, nor built-in ones , work with soundcloud, so i was wondering if there's anything i can do about it. I know about my cloud player and i got sick of it, so yeah..
