Is it possible to enable a certain live wallpaper(Living Music) only while music is playing?
so that when music is playing it is applied, and then when stopped it reverts back to the old wallpaper?

with this wallpaper this functionality would be awesome.
Great Idea
Im the developer of living music wallpaper, i was googleing my product ...
Great idea: i checked and it is possible. Ill probably make another app soon using that idea of changing wallpapers based on system events or schedules, set times, set actions such as music player open, etc.
itl request this permission: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER" />
so pretty simple, let me know if you have any other ideas, my email is in the market listing

Hello, what's up and good morning,
we are a small project team from HTL Rennweg Vienna and like to develop an Music App for Android. The project will last a half year. We want to implement the following features:
play music from the SD card
control a MPD server remotely
a Widget and a Lockscreen Widget
Artist Information
Lyrics
Albumcover
subscribe to Podcasts
Last.fm Integration
We are asking at several Android forums, which other features are needed and used.
We are looking forward for many ideas and comments

Auto-start play and stop on BT/wired headphone connect and disconnect.
Car-view with only 3/4 BIG buttons and huge album cover background.
High-quality file format support (FLAC, APE, ...).
Speed-based volume control (the faster you go, the louder it gets).
I may add some more in future...
EDIT: like I said...
HUD-like mode to have the screen reflected in windshield, maybe with actual speed and time indication... I mostly need that for car use, could you imagine? XD
I'm probably alone here, but the main thing I miss using my phone instead of my ipod as a car media player is that I can't have music videos and normal tracks in the same playlist. So if you could include support for music vids in the same playlists as other media, that'd be fantastic
Other than that - what teorouge said. Add gesture support to, so I can swipe to change tracks, and I'm sold

Would also like to see a day/night switch to automatically change skin or at least color set from light to dark, based on actual time or luminosity or both (you decide!) also for car usage improvement.
EDIT: actually don't care about...

I would love to be able to stream internet streams (over wifi)
like .m3u streams. The stock app doesn't recognise ones I have tried
Biggest issues for me would be the ability to add only specific folders to the library, a media player that scans the whole SD card and loads crap like ringtones into the list is unusable. And secondly very robust tag and album art support. I have many songs that display titles and artist fine in Foobar on my PC and all my tracks have the album art imbedded but many of these do not display correctly on my HTC Desire media player.
The feature I most need is to sort my music by "album artist" and not only by artists.
Hi,
I'm running on ParanoidAndroid and the default widget to control music over the lockscreen is from google music.
I would like to change this one by the widget provided by Sony, it's look like this http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8193/8083300548_60a34660eb.jpg but with only album arts, no bar navigation and directly on the lockscreen.
How I can get it on my Nexus 4 ? Do I need to install the walkman apk ? If yes, the sound will be changed ?
Maybe this one ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38500108&postcount=121
Nobody ?
Hey buddy. Unfortunately getting what you want is not going to be simple!
You'd need to be good at Android systems programming as well as Java programming to do this. You'll need to modify the ROM/OS so that the default lockscreen widget for music is the Sony one, then modify that widget to work with the ROM, etc. The fact that Sony's music player is probably proprietary makes the situation even worse.
Bottom line, someone with skills will need to do this, and it will take some time. For now I guess you'll have to make do with the Play Music app, or download an alternative music player. There are lots of them on the Play Store and people have been very satisfied with them.
I personally don't mind the Play Music app that much, and use it as a daily driver for music
Hi,
First, not sure this is the right place to post this, if not sorry !
I just got my LG G Watch R (and I love it !), but something is bothering me, I've seen some apps to control the music player, but nothing really great.
For example the stock app, when screen is "off" (not actually off, you know what I mean), you have to wake the screen, slide to the left and then you have the buttons to change the volume. Same thing to skip a song.
I'd like something more customizable, because I took a face for the watch where the time is displayed on the top of the scree so I have space not used, I could have a next song button, etc.
One other thing is the lack of possibility to browse through artists or albums, why ? I mean I get there's not much space, but with some thinking we could have a way to scroll through everything. In the end I have to use my phone everytime I want to listen to another artist.
So If anyone knows an android wear apps that at least browse through artist that would be nice,
and if they're none, I guess I'll just develop it myself !
Thanks.
Edit : After some digging on stack, it seems like this music card can't be removed, so I guess what I wanted to do is impossible.
If you're willing to use a totally separate app, stelio music player has the option to not trigger the default notification and it's own notification can be hidden like any other. You can also select music from the library with it, though when you select an artist it shows all songs by artist instead of artist > album > song. I've made the suggestion to add that and the dev has said he's working on it so hopefully that gets added soon. For some reason the app is not currently on the play store but the website is stellio.ru if you want to check it out.
Oh and I almost forgot but there is a plugin for poweramp that allows for browsing the library on the watch called Poweramp Remote that will allow you to browse but it does not get rid of the stock card. I know you're looking for a watch face but those two at least allow you to browse the library.
I have a problem with my lock screen.
I went to the notification center and gave Lock screen permisions to all my music apps. I say all because I've been testing several to be sure it's not the app fault.
the apps are: jetAudio, Music (the default huawei one), Black Player, Phonograph, Podcast Addict, Pulsar, Rocket Player and Spotify.
All of them have all the permissions possible (lock screen, Banners, status bar) and so far the only one that has the music controls properly working is the default music app and Spotify (both with the exact same UI, I mention this because I don't know if this is how is supposed to be seen).
I don't know what to do.
I'm running Nova, in a VNS-L31. If you need any additional info just name it.
Thanks in advance.

First things first, EMUI is made that way so you can't enable music controll on lockscreen for third party apps.
Second, you are running Nova (launcher?), that doesn't have anything to do with the ROM...
To have lockscreen controls you will need to flash a third party ROM (eg. LineageOS by @Meticulus), (not EMUI). But as i can see, you are pretty new to the Android thing, so i wouldn't recommend it.
thanks for your answer.
I put all the information I could think of, in order to make your task helping me easier.
Yes I am quite new. I've only rooted a nexus 5 and it was with a program that did almost everything for me. Nexustools or something like that....
Seems to me that probably for music screen controls maybe it's too much hassle. although it's not my favourite I guess I will stick with the default music app.
Just one more question, when huawei rolls out the update to Emui, it probably will keep working the same way, won't it?
Thanks again mate
In Firmware Finder --> Tweaker (Test) --> Set music player to keyguard
It works good on P9 lite with Android 6.0 ...
I didn't test it with Nougat.
Good morning everyone.
Hope your all having a fantastic day.
This is more of a general android quesiton i suppose rather then a pixel 4. but being brand new to #teampixel thought i would ask.
while i have spotify and dont plan to use music on my phone to often, nice to have for them data black spots.
So i am gonna transfer over a few albums, just wondering what apps you are all using to manage albums and art work?
And then where are you putting your music on the device? surely i shouldn't just dump everything into the downloads folder.
Thank you for your time in reading this post, and hope your able to help.
Kind regards
Liam
You can use a simple Music Player Aimp / Poweramp ... Foobar
I copy the files to the Music folder from my PC.
Even though Google play music is being discontinued this year I'm still using it over YouTube music. I can access my music library on my computer and on my phone. Works great with Android auto too.
Hey there,
just use the preinstalled "YT Music" App. There you can manage your YouTube music and your local music, it also supports the "Motion Sense".
Regards,
Sebastian
