So when I rooted my device (Amazon Fire HD 8), I turned off a batch of Amazon services that I don't really need. It was the
"List of Amazon apps that are okay to remove" - http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/development/tips-tricks-root-t3310569
Then I went to play my Music Player, and when I got out the app (music is still playing in the background). I went to look in the notification bar and did't see any music control for that Music Player app. Such as in backward, pause, forward etc.
I am looking for any one to help me with this. So please help!!

Does anyone know of any today plugins for windows media player so that track information and controlling play/pause, next track etc can be done from the today screen.
I often find i start WMP, then while doing other things suddenly want to stop a tune playing etc, and have to go back into media player.
I know there's other programs like mort player that allow this, but is there any plugins for WMP.
I've tried PHM's pocket plus - http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/Plus/#PHMtWMP, but that doesn't seem to work with WMP10.
interested in this also... let me know if you find anything. thanks
been on a business trip and it's only now that i saw this post. here you go then; nice little app / today plugin that allows you to use your media player and control it from the today screen. it also gives you an extra option of displaying both battery and memory bars/indicators. the website is:
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/software/PPC_MP3_players.htm
scroll down and you'll "today player". clicking on it will give you this site:
http://www.todayplayer.com/
just copy the cab file and execute it through your unit. from there; go to today settings and click on the box to allow the plug in to appear on your screen. it gives you a play button, stop, previous and next songs, etc. the note icon on the left gives you a bunch of options; best of all it gives you an option of "lights off" meaning the media player will continue to play even if the screen is off. the 3-bar icon on the right gives you the options of loading playlists which you make through your media player. it also allows you to load folders for songs and such. it also shows you the song currently being played.
the only drawback i see is that it's limited to playing mp3 and ogg only. i have a bunch of wma files somewhere and i had to convert them to mp3. but other than that; i like it.
cheers
This is a stand alone player and it's very nice (had it on my iPAQ) tried this on my i-mate JAM before and had some display issues were in the player would not refresh properly... I don't think it has been fixed as dev't on this application has been stopped.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, I did take a look at this, but was hoping for one that was actually integrated into WMP and not standalone.

If I start music up then hit home or back then the task gets killed. I tried a reboot and this sometimes cures the problem, then after a while it comes back.
I also tried killing all processes and this has worked but doesn't every time.
I googled the problem but it only really came up with a thread on this forum for another device. Aldo that user had installed other task managers. My device is only a couple of days old and has just had some apps installed, no hacking or such like.
Any help appreciated.
Hmmm.
I've noticed that the tab comes with 2 apps. Audio Player and Music Player. Music Player works in the background. Audio Player doesn't.
You can also try Winamp. I think that works in the background
Hitting the back button will kill most apps, even those supposed to run in the background. But the music player should run when you hit home. Winamp does run in the background, use it all the time to listen to radio stations.
Thanks guys.
On my UK unbranded sim free Tab I have two music playing apps called "Music Hub" and "Music".
"Music" will in fact run in the background whether you use home or back buttons to leave.
"Music Hub" will not. In fact it will not run unless I have a cellular connection to verify my locale.
Earlier I was sure neither application would run in the background but perhaps I was just tired ?
Anyway...thanks for your attention, now off to research how to remove useless core apps.
Hi guys
I have the same problem, I'm pretty sure that at the beginning music was playing in background when I swiched to another app, now the music stops! I tried different players (winamp, audio player) in my branded "Tim" (italy) tab...
any new ideas or solutions???
Thanks!
I just couldn't sleep so I tried along until I found a solution!
The first time I used my Tab I connected it to my pc using the usb cable, and tranferred the songs as normal files in mass storage device. Everything worked ok and music played in the background..
then I formatted the memory, and today I was testing a new program to send files to my tab without using the usb cable (Wireless File Transfer).
The first problem I noticed was that when I opened "Music" or Winamp the songs weren't recognized, and so I used ES File Explorer to open the directory and launch a song... the second problem was related to the music not playing in background!
The solution is related to the fact that the phone doesn't scan for media when I transfer using wireless... so I downloaded "rescan media" and now everything works GREAT!
I simply launch the application, the phone searches for new files... they are recognized in my music progs and they play in background if I swich app!
I hope this helps!
I have the same Tablet. Have solved the issue. At first I thought I just needed to download Samsung Music. Well that was a start. Don't try and play tracks straight from that app though. Once you have downloaded Samsung Music, then go to the widgets and place Samsung Music on your interface. From there you will be able to listen to music and do other things. My Tablet is called, Galaxy Tab A.
The Stock music app stops playing after a song finishes when the screen is off. The next song comes up after the screen is unlocked. Is there a way to stop that? If not, is there a better free music app for the transformer?
Thanks.
Amazon mp3 is pretty good and should be in tablet market.
Try searching for songbird or winamp also idk if they are ported to honeycomb yet but both are solid free options.
Trust me (-..-) im from the webs
Winamp is a little buggy, but it works. Amazon music player is good (but I the cloud player doesn't work as well as it could). Songbird has a nice layout, but you can't scroll through an individual song. They all play music after the Transformer shuts down.
I think the stock player has the best layout of them all, so I hope it gets an update to fix this.
Win amp does not allow me to search through my music. It force closes the app almost immediately. I am only able to play music through the widget.
Hi,
Anyone able to play media files from explorer with the pop up player ?
I found that my phone not able to play any mp3 with Es File Explorer popup player and/or Google Music Player popup player opened with Es File Explorer (They popup, i can seek forward and back, can pause and play, but no progress when i press play its just stuck there). If opened using apollo and/or mx player, it's open the full player and the mp3 play just fine. And Google play music play all my mp3 just fine.
And also the alarm clock cannot play any custom mp3, when the alarm triggers its doesn't play the mp3. I thinks its the same problem with above.
Thanks for your helps
Just recently I made the switch from Google Play Music to a third party player and put all my music onto the phone. Everything seemed to work fine until I realized random songs here and there aren't being detected by any music player I have, or they are detected but are shown with some crazy length (sometimes even negative) and will just sit at the 0:00 mark. I've verified the files are formatted as MP3s and all so I have no clue what the issue might be.
I have a similar issue. The default tones in the "Notifications" or "Ringtones" folders will show in Google Play Music. No other music in any other folders show up.
Basically, I can listen to all the default notifications and Ringtones in any music app, no other music in any other folders (or even the defaults for notifications and ringtones) show in any music app, and I've tried many. I can view and play them using Root Browser even though I don't have root, but I can't play them in a music app at all.
