I really like many of the music apps out there for Android, but would love to have one that can announce track info as the song starts. If would grab the title, artist, etc (configurable) and use the text to speech component to speak it. This way you can keep your device tucked away and still know what track you are listening to.

I am stage managing a show and have all of the sound cues on my Droid 4
The only problem is that I am using 'My Music' and when cue finishes (say a gunshot) the next begins (say a fog horn). This is very problematic

Rather than ask where I can find this mod (it's been asked in many threads already), I'd like to make a request to the great android development community. This mod is pretty much essential to me, and it seems to be hard to come by in non-CM based ICS and JB ROMs, so what I'd like to ask is:
Is is possible for someone with the proper knowledge to elaborate some sort of guide, as general as possible, for AOSP and perhaps MIUIv4 Roms, if that is possible at all? I and many others might want this mod but don't have Roms that support it. My programming skills are extremely limited but perhaps with a guide, as general as it might be (given the differences in the code for each phone), I could get something done..
Music player App that won't play the same track constantly in shuffle mode. Currently I'm using PowerAmp and on a playlist of over 1600 songs it wants to play the same 30-ish songs all day.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI own a Mazda CX-9 that includes wireless music access via Bluetooth. Listening to music wirelessly is not an issue, but I used to be able to see the song that was playing on my CX-9's LCD display. (That's when I was using a rooted Droid Bionic running a custom ROM). But I've since upgraded to an HTC Rezound and lost the ability to see the current song that's playing on my phone.
Is this an issue with the Bluetooth version? Music player? Both???
I have a Motorola Triumph (running CM7) and stream music via Bluetooth to my Sony DSX-S300BTX head unit in my car. The quality and consistency of the audio is flawless and can also use my head unit to change tracks and pause/play music with no issue. I recently began using Google Music on my PC and it made sense to use the Android app for accessibility purposes. The only drawback I have experienced is that the artist and song title info is no longer shown on my car stereo. This functionality worked perfectly using my previous phone (WP7 LG Quantum w/ Zune Pass) and on my current Triumph with the stock music app packaged with any version of CM7. I download and listen to quite a bit of new music and this functionality is pretty much a must have feature for my primary music app.
The only workaround I have thought of would be to sync music via the Google Music app and then listen to it via the stock music app. This is less than ideal due to the fact it involves 2 apps and takes away the option to stream music not downloaded to my phone. Also, the Google Music app has a much nicer UI compared to the stock app. If you don't know of a specific fix, but have some knowledge of A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles.
Somehow I apparently changed the setting so that the woman's voice announces my incoming calls and texts from my contacts. I'd like to turn that back off and just have the whistle/ringtone.
I can't find it in the manual or online.
My music just started skipping, or hanging up, especially at the beginning of a track.
I think it might have something to do with scrobbleing. I just signed up for Last.fm, and discovered that I could scrobble the tracks I play from my other music players, which I think is a pretty great feature.
I have several music players: Tunewiki, MixZing, 3, and Zimly. (I'm trying to figure out which one I like best to stick with.) I downloaded ScrobbleDroid for the players that don't support scrobbleing natively.
Now, I don't know if the scrobble feature has anything to do with my music hang ups, but this is the only thing I've changed relating to music.
I'm working on a application that, while it's running, should be able collect and save information about the music played by the Phones MediaPlayer.
There are not any public API for this at the moment, do you have any plans for this in the future?
It would be nice if my application just could use the default Music player, instead of implement a new player.
So far the only solution I can find is this this link here: http://www.alexc.me/android-music-app-service-currently-playing-song/... ,but this is not a nice way to do it. It will only work with phones that use exactly same version of the interface file IMediaPlaybackService.aidl
I'm finding that I'm part way through a track and then all of a sudden it moves to the next track! The screen is locked so it's nothing like that. It only seems to be happening since I moved to an 8GB SD card. I copied all my files over to it and everything else seems to be working ok. It happens in both the music player and in "Listen", the podcasting app.

Earlier, I received a facebook message, and my Desire started playing a Bruce Springsteen track (needless to say I have Springsteen in my Music app). The thing is, my music app wasn't even open (in Task Killer) and when I did open it, I could still select another song and play it on top of the Springsteen song - so it wasn't a Music app bug. The only way to stop it was to open the task manager (swiping to home screen down) to identify the message. Is there somewhere where this particular track has been selected as a Facebook notification tone?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any apps out yet that will keep track of your music library? I'm looking for something that pairs with the phone and a PC app that will keep track of how many times a play song and sync between the two and such. Sorta like Ipod software is an extension of the Itunes library. I realize that Itunes doesn't sync with the phone like that, nor the phone keeps track of such things.

Several of my music tracks had unicode characters- all do not display correctly. good alternative player or way to make default player work properly?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was playing some music today while doing some yardwork and i noticed it was stuttering at the beginning of just about every track it played. I listened to about 12-14 songs and it stuttered in the beginning on about 8 of them, somtimes it would also stutter a few seconds after that but would be fine after that until it went to the next song. Anyone else have this issue? I've got all the apps closed with advanced task manager, so nothing is running and eating up the processor or memory. Any ideas what would cause this or a remedy for it? Any help is appreciated.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the in-built Media app but am finding it rather poor for two main reasons.
One is that it scans my entire SD card for music to play, which I really don't want it to do as it finds my podcasts downloaded by acast and the tags in those MP3 files are all over the place so make a mess of the Music Player lists. I've tried adding a .nomedia file to the podcast directory as suggested on another site but HTC's app doesn't pay any attention to that.
The second issue is that despite my files having MP3 track number tags, the Music Player app usually ignores those and sorts the tracks into alphabetical order which just doesn't work for a lot of my albums. It's not consistent with sorting, e.g. if I pick an album off the Albums list the tracks are in order and play in order in the track list for that album so I can hit the first track and it plays in order, but if I go back up to the albums screen and add the whole album to a playlist, sometimes it puts the tracks in order, other times it re-orders them in alphabetical order of track name. If I go to a particular artist or composer and select an album, it normally sorts the tracks by alphabetical order this time instead of tagged track order.. This is all with the same album too so it's not that some albums have track number ID3 tags and others don't.
I copy the MP3s across the USB link, I'm not using HTC Sync as it won't run on my desktop computer (a linux box), so I don't know if HTC Sync can help out here or not.
during music (mp3) playback, the application will close part-way through a track for no reason. It might happen on the first or the fourth track, but at some time during playback the music will stop and when I look at the phone there are no apps running. I've been listening to mp3's for a few days now and I've tried using both the standard Music Player and the doubleTwist player but I keep getting the same problem.
I've tried playing music from internal and external SD storages, and I don't have any other apps running at the same time. I wait a minute after the player stops before re-opening the player and playing the same track that stopped from the start and it plays through fine. I found a few posts that discussed music playback problems for the Galaxy S and other phones running 2.1, but they all seemed to relate to actual playback problems (i.e. brief silences or pops and hisses during playback) rather than the player itself stopping.
I want to get the Information of the Music track playing on a android device?
Is there any android powered api available for this?
Or do I have to write a plugin for respective android media players?

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy music has ID3 version 2.3 tags (most common). About 10% (2,500) of my music is AAC (.m4a) format which is MP4 tagged. All my songs are very organized into 11 different genres. Everything has a title, artist, and album assigned to it and looks great in my iPhone, iTunes, MediaMonkey, and Mp3tag program. When I add my music to my Samsung Fascinate, it reads the tags of my .m4a music but when I go to genre, things are messy. It appears to be putting albums in the genre section (only with .m4a files). Example: Lets say I have an .m4a of Garth Brooks, Thunder Rolls, No Fences (album), Country (genre)In my Samsung Fascinate player, it will be found in the genre section under "No Fences". If I click "Country" genre where it should be, the song will not be listed there. It seems to be reading .m4a Album tags as genre and not reading the appropriate tag "Country".I hope someone can help straighten this out without having either manually edit each song tag OR convert all of them to .mp3 and deplete the song quality.

I can confirm that which connected via bluetooth to my car stereo while using the default music player to play music, song tags/information/track is displayed on my car stereo (I am assuming using AVRCP 1.3). However, I have tried poweramp and player pro and they both do not display the music info/tags/etc on my car stereo which is a big minus. Any other music apps on the market (besides the default android music player) will display via bluetooth/avrcp, all the song tag/information/track/etc?

Q3. I need to get from which url Download is happening. Or Is it happening from any app like Google play store.
My son's Iphone 4s is under my sprint account, and I feel as the owner of the phone I should know what he is doing on it. While at the sprint store they described to me the Iphone 4s 16gb Black, can browse the web with a browser called Safari.
I'm trying to find my answer online, before having to call sprint, because usually the wait time is too long, when I can probably get some more information online. I am signed into my spring account on the sprint website, however, I have been unable to find anywhere to track his history.I'm not trying to be the snoopy parent here, but I would like to know what he is up to, because he sure is using the web a lot according to the bill.
