Android : Way To Keep Podcasts / Audiobooks From Playing In The Music App?
Apr 4, 2010
I don't think i'm using the right search terms or else no one else cares about this and it's just me i use doggcatcher for my podcasts. when i want to listen to music, i use the music app. but i have play all random, it pulls from the entire SD card, not just the music folder where i have the music. basically, it's just annoying to have the random music playing and then all of sudden a chapter from an audio book or a podcast starts playing, esp when i'm driving. i don't like having to mess with it then. i have also used it to sync with mediamonkey, but if i have more than one playlist that syncs (i have "favorites" and "recently added"), then i can only pick one playlist at a time to listen to. i can't figure out a way to make a smart playlist or anything like that on the eris. i even downloaded that cube 3 or whatever that was on Lifehacker recently - but that doesn't have anything either.

I'm a subscriber to Google Music all access. I have a few audio books in my collection and would like to avoid the from playing when I shuffle all my songs. Is there a way to do this without deleting them from my library?

On my HTC Legend, when I download podcasts using Listen, BeyondPod, or Dpod, the downloaded .mp3 files are not visible on the android music player widget. Nor are they visible on btunes, even if I enable the audio books/podcasts features on btunes and hard-set the sdfolder path to where the .mp3 files are stored. On the music widget, I do see an empty "podcasts" playlist, but if I tell it to update, I get a "force close" error. Any ideas?

I thought this would be straight forward enough but its turned out a mess. What I did was I created a folder called Music on the memory card, then inside music I created more folders, so created one for my podcasts and dragged them out of itunes into the podcast folder, and did the same for all my itunes playlist, just created a folder for each playlist inside the music folders, However it didn't recognize my playlists and I just have 1 big list of music and podcasts all mixed through every shape, its a mess.

I desperately need an app that syncs podcasts (as well as music) between my S3 and iTunes. I hate it when I listen to a new podcast on my phone then get back to my pc to start a new one but can't remember which ones I've listened to. Is there a good app that checks off a podcast on my phone but also shows it checked off on my pc (in iTunes)?

I want to keep itunes for now since I have my podcasts subscribed as I like them. I keep seeing that I should use isyncr if I want to continue to use itunes but do I need an SD card before I starting syncing my podcasts/music to my captivate? Or can't I just use the on board memory to store the podcasts/music?

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, as any number of other highly improbable things were occurring but there we were, in the car, Droid plugged into the stereo, listening to MP3's, courtesy of the Music app, when a podcast started. At first I thought it was because the damn Music app picked up my podcasts that were in a different directory. Since we were at frequent complete stops anyway (Philthydelphia traffic), I looked at the infernal device and discovered that the Median app was playing a podcast - at the same time the Music app was playing music. I don't know if you can even do that on purpose, or why you'd want to, but there we are. Without any prompting whatsoever, I was getting two audio apps at the same time.

Music Player which should STOP after playing a music file and should NOT Repeat or jump play the next audio file. Option of having Stop after playing a single music file.I know except VLC beta player- which has some hanging problems & needs to be forced quit sometimes (Motorola Phone).

My question is : on the HTC Desire, is it possible to listen music with the default player, while doing something else like browsing the web? Because when I'm under the music player app, listening to something, and then I click (or long-click) "home" button, the sound stops. Also, while i'm listening to a track, if a phone call comes in, the music is paused, but when the call ends, the track position is lost and it starts from the beginning. Is all this normal?

Does anyone know if there's an app that will play Nintendo music? The files I'm talking about are .NSF files. There's an app on WinMo that will do it but I haven't seen anything for Android that will.

I'm currently using double twist, but it doesn't seem to allow you to "play all" by an artist. I need a music player that will allow me to do that. I use the phone as a "best of" since all of my music can not fit on the phone.

I want to know that can we stop playing sound or music of other application which actually plays the music from our application? Something like get the handle of MusicPlayer or AudioManager in our application and using this handle stop the currently playing sound.

We are trying to test the Music Player (Music.apk) with Monkey. We have added the permissions in AndroidManifest.xml of Camera application (Camera.AK): <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_ACTIVITY_WATCHER" /> In the same file, we have added intent for MovieView Activity: <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY" /> We use the following commands: # Launch the Music Player am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.music/ com.android.music.VideoBrowserActivity # Launch Monkey to test Music player monkey -p com.android.music -v -v -v 500 But, we get the error message: "// Rejecting start of Intent.

I want to stream across my home network from an external shared drive but haven't yet found an app that will do it. Don't want homepipe or anything that will use my internet bandwidth as its only for when i'm connected to my home router. ES file explorer achieves it ok and plays the files from the drive but it won't Queue them or play a whole folders worth or anything, so after every song I have to go back to the phone and fiddle around for the next one.

I have a unique situation I need assitance with...about 1.5 years ago I ripped all my cd's to my harddrive in mp3 format, for a thousand or so mp3's. My cd's have all since been stolen out of my car, and a week ago my hard drive crashed. I used a restore tool & was able to retrieve a lot of info from the drive, however none of the files have names on them, just 0001 0002 etc etc. Now my question. I have loaded all my music onto my htc incredible, and am looking for something like pandora which allows you to quickly mark a song as good or bad, and move onto the next. I want to sort through these to see which ones I want to keep, as I don't want to take the time to rename every song from every album as I usually only like 3-4 songs per album. So i want some music player that either I can assign them to a playlist, then sync the playlist to my pc, and sort through that way, or something that allows me to delete the song straight from the main screen. Now before anyone says yes you can delete using astro, or long clicking, what i'm trying to accomplish is to either delete the song, move the song, rate it, or simply mark it good or bad, in 1-2 clicks. If I have to go through screen after screen to delete or assign to a playlist with over 1000+ songs, it'll drive me crazy. I'd rather not do it on my PC as i'd like to do it while walking around wearing headphones.

We're developing an Android game and we play some background music for our intro (we have an Intro Activity) but we want it to continue playing to the next Activity, and perhaps be able to stop or play the music again from anywhere within the application. What we're doing at the moment is play the bgm using MediaPlayer at our Intro Activity. However, we stop the music as soon as the user leaves that Activity. Do we have to use something like Services for this? Or is MediaPlayer/SoundPool enough? If anyone knows the answer, we'd gladly appreciate your sharing it with us.

So most of us know we can play a slideshow while listening to music, but how about something like Windows can do with visualizations. I'm looking for an app or something possibly "sound activated" that will show a cool background while listening to music (sort of like Windows does). The active wallpaper's are sort of on track, but not exactly what I'm looking for. The closest thing I found so far was the glow stick that changes colors...any other ideads?

is there a way to find the 'noise produced' by a currently playing sound (MediaPlayer) -Like in many music editor software you import a song and it does a graphical layout of the song -like a graph with it higher up at louder bits. Hard to explain. But there must be a way to do this on android...

I've been looking around for a solution to this - and so far have only found Gmote to be close to what I'm looking for. Actually Gmote hits it on the head, but I wanted to see if there were other options. Here's the setup:
We have a soundboard and speaker system. I would like to hook up a small PC (running either windows or Linux) to the soundboard so that whatever is playing from the computer will come through the speakers. And to control what gets played from the computer, I would like to use my Android phone.
I would consider streaming from my phone if it was reliable enough. I had first looked into streaming to the system via bluetooth - but that wasn't quite stable enough and dropped out too many times.

I've come to the conclusion, after trying several different file managers, music players and playlist organisers, that it simply isn't possible to choose the order in which music will be played. I have two folders of mp3 files, both of which contain track numbers on every file, but, when I try to create a playlist, it just ignores the track numbers and plays the files in alphabetical order. I have read several files explaining how to edit the order of a playlist all of which refer to options which don't exist on my phone.
It's running android 4.1.1
This seems such a basic requirement for a music player that it seems impossible that it's been overlooked and yet that seems to be the case.

I have a bunch of MP3s on a windows PC shared over wifi LAN.
I want to use a old android device to plug into speakers in another room and access the shared files, search/filter and queue, play songs on the phone.
I know I could run a shoutcast server and just queue up songs on the pc but I would love to be able to use some sort of app that can scan all the shares and create a database that can be easily filtered/searched on the phone.

I don't like how the phone rings through my music when I am streaming or playing music. On my BB, I could stop it from ringing. Anyone have an idea without turning off the mobile network?

my girlfriend has an evo that she's got a ton of music on. she also drives an 09 scion xb. i guess the scion has it's own special "ipod" jack in the center console, but the cable that the car came with will only plug into an ipod/iphone. how can she play the music from her evo into the car... without going with an aftermarket head unit? is there an adapter that she can get, or a replacement cord with a 3.MM jack on one end?
