[Q] Scrobbling question - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Playerpro, but have tried this with Poweramp and same thing. This applies to both the offical Last.FM scrobbler and Scrobbledroid. I cannot for the life of me figure out a way to make it only scrobble the track after it's been played. It always does it as soon as it starts. Scrobbledroid has a scrobble after % feature, but it only works with the stock android player, which I don't use. I bought both Poweramp and Playerpro. Contacting both developers hasn't gotten me anywhere. There should be a way around this, Scrobbledroid has a "scrobble after track has played" option, but it's still doing it as soon as I hit play. And if I pause a track as soon as I hit play it seems to scrobble the same track again.
Anyone have a work around for this?

[APP REQEUST] The perfect music app for X10 mini

Dear devs,
I have a little problem and hoped someone could help me out.
I have searched all over for a music player with a nice widget for smaller screens, and now I have finally find one.
Its actually the official gingerbread android music app(search the market for gingerbread music. Its actually (almost) the same one as provided in slades rom.
Only there is one problem:
The shuffle and repeat buttons dont fit on the small screen, but in the one from slades rom they do.
So my question is could someone recompile slades music with the widget from the on provided bellow? This would be freaking sweat cause than I can call my phone 'perfect'. I will attached both players below.
Thanks in advance!

Try these other apps instead:
PlayerPro (market, paid)
Google Music 3.0 (market, free)
Winamp (market, free)
TuneWiki (market, free)
Songbird (market, free)
RealPlayer (market, free)
DoubleTwist (market, free)
cubed (market,free,[its name is the cubed symbol])
and there's a lot more that I haven't thought of at the time of writing.
Best music player so far is PowerAMP...its worth the buy, still you can try demo from the market its time limited, dunno for how many days Best player from all of them, best performance, built in EQ, supports BT headsets got a separate widget pack that is ideal for the mini, easy to use, tag support, etc.. The best one for me and i have tried about 20 different music players...

Give it a try...
Yeah, the most recommended
Google music, simple but effective
Winamp is my choice..
do any of those support changing music tracks by using the headphone's button? because i really miss that. its annoying to have to unlock the phone to change tracks while i am running
Winamp does. You might need to check a box in the app settings. "control with headphones" or something like that. I like winamp, except it's a little heavy on the battery. The wifi-sync with desktop-winamp is great though!

hm.. will try it then. thanks!
I'd just like a music player with a full set of lockscreen controls.
left button: previous track
Middle: play/pause
right button next track
and a search bar on the screen itself to search songs in the library.
ALL lockscreen!!
Try UBERMUSIC! is a beta but is working pretty well is theme based and it is awesome
Astro Player is the best! It's playing music directly form a folder, making alphabetic playlist from songs in a folder and updates the playlist automaticaly when songs are added later inside the folder.
Real player perfect ^^

[Q] S-Voice and Music Control

Hey guys, I posted this in another forum, but never had any responses. I've also searched this site quickly and didn't see anything regarding this.
How well does S-Voice control music? I always play my music through bluetooth in my truck and I think it would be great to be able to change songs through voice commands. I've seen videos showing that S-Voice can start playing music, but none showing that it could actually play a specific song on request, (i.e. play *insert song here*). If S-Voice is not currently capable of doing this, would rooting the phone accomplish this with certain mods? I have never rooted a phone and I am looking forward to taking the dive with the GSIII.
And finally, when using S-Voice to play songs, will it only play through the stock music player, or could you play songs through Google Music?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help!
Hi there I assume if you make a third party music the default it would play from there but maybe not as then it wouldn't have the integration, I could test it if you like. And as far as music control goes its very good you can do loads of commands such as:
play
pause
stop
skip
then more advance commands like
play > alex claire too close
play > playlist bike songs
That is awesome... I do hope there is a way to make Google Music the default player as I much prefer streaming my music as opposed to taking up storage space on the phone.
Well I downloaded PlayerPro as I can't get Google music in the U.K (not legal anyway
) and I made it the default music player. Unfortunately even after doing this S-Voice will still open the song in the default Samsung music player.

[Q] Google Music Player shuffle

So i have stuck it out with google music. I have close to 7000 songs uploaded.
The one thing that kills me is shuffle on a playlist. It seems i keep getting the same songs playing and it never really shuffles through them all. After many google searches i see others having the same issue. Nothing recent though. Anyone else have this issue or know of google is aware?
Is it the player or the service? I dont know of any other cloud service like this except for the upcoming xbox music.
This shuffle thing is really annoying.

If Google Music gives some problems you can install a different player like Walkman works much better than the system app
I use the XPeria S Music Playe with Beats audio. It does the job
Do all of these work with the streaming of google music?

Music app which can auto-crossfade playlist?

Hello all, I am searching the net for a music app which will auto-crossfade a playlist of tunes. According to the description, it seems that the Rocket Player app can do this but I installed it and there's a gap between the tunes. Is there any other app I can try or if Rocket player can do this, how can I get support from it's developer please?

Thanks, I tried it, it is not auto-crossfading so I have written to the developer for help.
what do you mean by "auto-crossfading". if it has anything got to do with fading out the end of the current song and fading into the new song its there

I mean I select a playlist and the software will play every song on it's own without myself having to select song after song, like a shuffle feature but it will crossfade every tune so no gaps in between the tunes.
BlackPlayer! Does it all... I like a lot this new minimalistic toy

Same deal with blackplayer, even though the "gapless" option is selected it is not crossfading, would you mind checking the audio preferences in blackplayer on your android phone and let me know what else is checked so I can set mine the same way please?
You could try PlayerPro. Been with for ages, and always come back to it. It's even running right now, crossfading as you wish

i think what you're looking for is something like Mix and Mash on iTunes. This program allows you to choose the songs you like (either individually or by playlist) and then you crossfade songs for any length of time. Plus, you don't have to play the entire song, you can choose to play whatever amount of time you would like and songs usually begin playing somewhere in the middle, so you don't have to listen to the beginning or end of a song.
Is there an app like this for android???
Poweramp. It's not free, but I believe there is a trial. I've used it for years now. It's one of the few apps have made the journey from Gingerbread to Nougat with me, lol... Turn on the cross-fading in the settings, and play any song from the 'All Songs' list. You can turn on shuffle or let the list play in order. There are two settings [other than off] under Auto-advance fading, one is to only crossfade songs that aren't gapless and the other is to crossfade all songs. You might have to change the setting to the 'Crossfade all songs' setting, as many songs I've tried don't seem to do it. This creates a problem if you want to listen to an album that is gapless (no delay between tracks), so toggle the setting as needed
I found one called media monkey and it has a cross-fade in the settings. throw a playlist in and it mixes all tracks with no silence
In case anyone is still looking, the best crossfade I found is "neutron music player" (evaluation version). All other players (Pi music player, dub music player) I tried will "crossfade" only if I follow playlist order, but there is an obvious break if I randomly pick a song from the list. I use this app to play pad music and have to choose different files as needed instead of following the order of playlist.
However, neutron has really horrendous interface compared to others. Not user friendly at all, I would have given it up immediately if I could find something else that works.

Alternative Music Player

The stock music player seems to be terrible!
No widget is offered for it, if you close the app during a song, it restarts from the beginning next time instead of where it paused & I haven't even spotted it show any artwork yet!
Can anyone help with the above or offer a good basic alternative? Just want something simple from the Play Store which I can use as an effective default music player! Thanks.
Try Google Play Music
If you are open to spend some money, checkout PowerAmp
