Hi all,
I am trying to make an app for my friends online radio station (he already has a basic iPhone App and i don't want Android to be ignored again) but the audio is pushed out of the shoutcast server as a playlist - which Android's media api doesn't seem to support.
despite that i have generic online radio player apps on my android phone that plays his station happily!
does anybody know what trick i need to pull to get Android to play playlist streams?
any help and advice would be greatly appeciated

I currently have 2 players in my HD
1. Windows media player - when update library, it keeps adding all the sounds from different programs on my SD card to the library. BUT it works with my bluetooth headphone (Sony DR-BT21G)
2. Pocket player - Doesn't have the library problem BUT doesn't recognire the bluetooth headphone commands.
Could anyone help me solve these problems please? Or just either of them is great.
Thanks

Anyone help please? Or at least anyone who have the same problem? AM I the only one who has this problem?
i have same issue with media plauer,

Use Touch FLO standard player. It is perfect for me.
Works with my motorola s9 blueooth stereo heaphones with all commands.
Or create playlist on your WMplayer.
Up to you.
I would recommend tflow 3d music player tab

Hey folks, I'm trying to write an app to play a PLS stream from a ShoutCast server, any advice? I'm able to stream standard MP3s using the MediaPlayer class, but it doesn't seem to work with PLS files.
Hi,
a PLS file is a playlist file not an actual media(sound/video) file, you can open it with your favorite text editor. To be able to listen to a stream you need to be able to decode the media type(AAC,MP3,WMA,...) thats what codecs are for
Yeah, I know, I tried using the adress in the .pls but it wasn't playing/nor throwing an error. I was pretty sure it was a valid codec being used (it works fine with a static mp3 path), so I guess I'll have to check with the settings on the ShoutCast server.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm interested in that idea of being able to listen to streams on the go. I did a quick google search and found out that there already is a stream player for android out there, called AntPlayer.
I think it's available on the market, and if the source is open maybe you can take a look.
I'm going to look it up on the market and see if it plays di.fm streams
Droidlive?
Yeah, I found a few that can do it, but haven't found any open source options yet. I'll look into AntPlayer. I'm trying to create an app for our university's radio station.
Any updates? I'm looking to do the same.
Same problem here!
Hi All,
I've never tried it with my older G1, but does the N1 using the included media player send META data over BT/A2DP when being used?
In my 2010 Lexus HS250h stereo, when playing back MP3 files that have proper META data on a BlackBerry 9700, the "Title", "Artist", and "Album" are properly displayed on the HUD. However, when using the N1, I get no such information but at least the handsfree controls works (start, stop, trickplay, etc.)
Is this a limitation of the BT stack that's in the N1 or just a software implementation issue (music player)?
Thanks!
Cheers,

Im guessing its a software limitation - the music player app doesn't seem to have had much work put behind it.
I really hope they update the music player app in the future and implement that sleek look of the menus and GUI from the gallery app.
Hi all,
I have been trying to find a music player in the Market that can help me make playlists more easily.
In particular...
able to pick multiple songs out of different albums and not have to start over at the beginning of ALL THE ALBUMs!
Does anyone.. use a good music player that they can recommend?
Also on wish list but not required at this point:
-have stereo Bluetooth
-can control the music player with my Bluetooth headphone device
-has an equalizer
-have controls on the lock screen (similar to HTC's player)
Thanks for help.

No music player other than HTC's will be able to have lock screen controls.
The lack of EQ is due to limitations in Android's audio API. There is a player in Market that claims to have it, but it's $30... There's a free version, but I haven't tried it, because my headphones are decent enough that I don't need it.
I use MixZing specifically because it lets me queue up things from different categories. I don't use actual playlists though. No idea how well it deals with Bluetooth.
I just found a program to fix Bluetooth button on headsets.
claims to fix the other players.. so your headset can control the new player.
It must be new... because there were no comments by any user.
it is called: "Headset Button Fix"
but it requires the HTC player be removed.
If I do remove the HTC Player...
How do I get it back if it is not what I want??

Hi,
Wondered if anyone could help out here. There are several potential glitches here.
Anyway. I bought isyncr for my Desire in order to ditch my ipod, i bought this because it claims to sync play counts as well as general itunes syncing.
I have managed to get this to work, but only when i use Android Music 2.3.0b7, it will not work using PowerAmp or Music version 2.3.3. The latter is the default player on the phone and i can't uninstall.
The problem that i have is that last.fm is reverse, so this will scrobble with seemingly any player except for Android Music 2.3.0b7.
Is there a way to remove the standard Android Player (Music version 2.3.3) or to force Last.fm to recognize a different player namely Android Music 2.3.0b7?
Would be great if someone could help.
