How do you change the default player for the youtube application? When I go to youtube in manage applications the default button is greyed out.
Can I change the default for everything and not just the youtube application?
I was a long time ios user that bought the galaxy note, and my biggest issue is controlling music apps.
On the iphone from the lockscreen regardless of what app I'm playing from (spotify, stitcher, ipod, whatever) I could easilly pause and play whatever I'm listening to from one interface.
I haven't found a way to do this with my Note. What I've resorted to doing is having a seperate spotify app widget, and a stitcher app widget, and an audible widget on my lockscreen so I can pause and play each of them pending on what I was listening to.
Please tell me there is a way around this.
Most of the good music apps have a setting to place controls on the lockscreen. Look in the apps settings.
beats audio
you should put beats audio on your phone

Yeah, thats what I have, but thats what I'm trying to avoid (having individual apps having lock screen controls). So on my lockscreen now I have A widget for stitcher, spotify, and audible. I was hoping to have one thing that allows me to pause/play what I'm listening to like I can on an ios device.

Sorry. I guess I wasn't really clear in my post. You don't need the widgets or icons in the lockscreen. Just go to the application and there "should" be a setting to allow the player in the lockscreen. Then, when you are playing something it will show in the lockscreen. But only while it is playing. Otherwise it is hidden, not visible. This works for my Poweramp app. I don't have the apps you listed so I can't get any more specific than this. Hope it helps.
Found the app Media Buttons
Does exactly what I needed. Now I can pause music from any app without having to think about whats playing.
I've seen some older posts about this but no resolution...Is it possible to set a default enhancement(or none) so that every time you use the Music app it will use a default and I wouldn't have to set it every time I use the app?
Greetings,
I don't like the fact that Google Music hijacks my lockscreen with its widget while playing. Is there a way to remove that feature?
Additionally, are there any other music apps that support Google Music (especially tapping into the cloud)? Finally, do any of those other music apps have the ability to disable their lockscreen widget, if they have one?

I'm looking for an solution to this problem too!
On my stock GS5, within the default music player, Facebook Messenger chat heads will not show up when selecting it from the notifications bar. If another notification is selected, for instance, gmail, the music player will display the fully expanded chat heads on top of gmail. If chat heads are visible on another app, switching to the default music player will make the chat heads disappear into the background. Can anyone else replicate this with their device?
