[Q] Google search keeps using default music app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Recently I installed Poweramp on my phone (Galaxy S2 Android 2.3.6, rooted). When I used Google Search, and searched for a song, it opend the song in Poweramp. However after a few days my songs were played with the stock Music.apk. I tried reinstalling Poweramp, setting poweramp as the default music player, removing the stock Music.apk.
However, when I removed the stock Music.apk, Google Search couldn't find any songs anymore, so I reinstalled that app. When I'm opening a song in a file explorer, Poweramp is used.
How do I make Google Search use Poweramp instead of the stock Music app? Or does anybody know a search engine that doesn't force Music.app to be used?

[Q] Music App won't add new music

The last month or so, every mp3 I download will not show up in any music apps I have on my phone. I used the HTC stock music app, PowerAmp, and now I'm using Google's music app, which is awesome. However, each app had the same results. I moved all my music into the same folder on my SD card. The new songs will play if I play them straight out of Root Explorer so I know the files are ok, they just won't show up in the apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

[Q] Forcing S-Voice to use Google Music

Is there any way to force S-Voice to use Google Music App instead of the stock music player.
For example you say: "Play *Song Title*"
And it plays the song from your Google Music account.
I've tried setting Google Music to the default player and that doesn't work.
S-Voice will still attempt to play the song using the TW Music Player.
Any ideas? Has anyone tried deleting the stock music app?

I think you'd have to decompile the apk and edit it

This would be correct. Most likely the APK is looking for the file name of Samsung's Stock Music Player.
Too bad. I don't store any music locally, for the most part.
It would be handy since I tend to listen to music in the car which is exactly when I'd rather usr voice commands.
Slightly off topic but I would assume this also means a modified apk would be needed to wake up S-Voice from WidgetLocker or the like.

[Q] How to play offline music in default player NOT Google Play Music

Okay I purchased music using google play music. I can listen to the music offline with Google Play music, but my default OEM/factory Galaxy music player doesn't detect the music I purchased. Also I found out Google stores the files here:
/mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.google.music/files/music
When I went to that dictory I noticed the MP3 file was named 724.mp3 I'am able to point poweramp to that folder and play it but with the galaxy I don't see any options to force it to point to any directories. I like using the Samsung OEM player. Is it possible to get my default player to play this?
Funny thing is when I use root explorer to play the song it uses the Galaxy music player to play it but when I goto the Galaxy music player it doesn't detect the song.

if you use the play website rather then the app you can download it a certain number of times, just as MP3s. You may have to do that on the computer. You can allow download the music manager on your computer and it will download your whole library without it counting against your download limit... But you do have to download the whole thing, then add what ever album you want to your phone. I prefer to just get a big SD card and go this route. I just download and manage my own music, and think of the online copy as a backup.
Not a perfect answer, but at least a version of what your trying to do, if you were unaware.
GMusicFS is an option, but probably won't do exactly what you're asking either.

[Q] Get rid of default music player

Hi,
I've received my Honor 7 recently and reinstalled all my previous android applications (I used before a Nexus 4).
I use n7player for music playing but unfortunately, even if I check under "default apps / music" and select n7player, when I press play with my headphones, it's default music player witch starts.
I could not disable the application as it's in gray state. If I stop the services. music stops but If I press play again, it's again the default music player witch is starting.
Any idea?
Regards
Ok, sorry guys, just found this discussion about the same subjet:

Every music player keeps crashing

Dear folks,
I've been having a huge problem. I bought me an Alcatel Pop 4 (5051D) with Android 6.0.1 running. Since day 1 when I tried to use the stock music player, it always kept crashing. So I downloaded another music player, the Pi Music Player. And that app also kept crashing. It crashes when I start a song and leave the app. It doesn't crash when I open the app or just lock my phone and connect it with a bluetooth music player or the bluetooth function in my car. It crashes when I go to the homescreen or use another app.
But it's not just the stock Alcatel music player or Pi Music player, any music player I've tried until today keeps crashing whenever I go to the homescreen or use another app (doesn't matter which one).
Therefore, I'm asking you guys if you could tell me why this problem occurs anytime and if there's a reliable music player that doesn't crash. I've also tried the default music player from old Android versions, and it also crashed. So basically any music player I've tried has crashed.
The problem is that you bought Alcatel. Sell it.
