Headset controls - controlling the right app? - Desire Themes and Apps

Hi everyone! I use the the headset that came with my Desire to control music while I'm biking to class. Problem is, I want to use Cubed, but every time I press play (or whatever other button) it automatically runs WinAmp. I tried uninstalling that, then it started running Music Mod. I uninstalled that, and now it doesn't run anything.
My question is, how can I get it to run Cubed when I use the controls on the headphones?
Thanks!

[PROBLEM] HTC MP3 player stops after every song?

Hi there!
I've a huge problem with the music player on the hd2. It stops after EVERY song. I alsways have to turn on the phone and manually hit play or next to play the next sond. That's quite annoying!
It doesn't matter if I select an album, a playlist or whatver. Even if I turn on repeat-mode, the sond is only played once.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
I noticed the same thing, and I already updated to 1.48...
There's a partial solution anyway: if you don't press the power off button to activate the stand by mode, but instead if you let stand by mode to activate by itself, it works correctly.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've had the same thing happen when I let standby mode activate itself, also have an issue where the MP3s stutter, small 1 second breaks in the music.
Few people use the embedded mp3 player coz it's bad and very slow, especially when you have a massive library.
You should try another player: Kinoma (freeplay is free), CorePlayer, Nitrogen (free), etc...
err, starting an extra application for that doesn't sound very attractive to me. Actually I like the fact that this is integrated into sense.
Regarding the speed: I've ~10 GB of music. The HTC player handles them very well
After i read this, i tested it on my device.
The first time the player stopes after the first track,
but if you press play again and you come to the end, then it switch to the next track without a problem and play it.
regards
I have the repeat button on and it doesnt' stop!! And the built in mp3 player is better than WMP because it actually shows chinese characters properly for me... And the interface looks nice...
I noticed the music player in htc sense only looks at the music folder on the storage card, is there any way to add more folders of music or must I insert all my music there and it will automatically be "synced" every time a new song/folder of songs is added?
On mine, the HTC music player looks for all audio files on both the storage card and the phone itself (anywhere in 'My Documents'). It even picks up ring tones I've added and the 'sample' music on the phone. So, I'm not sure if this is a setting of some kind, but mine seems to do what you want, and your's seems to do what I want.
same as you
I have the exactly same problem my friend nd it's irritating. For now, the only solution I have is the use of bluethoot earphones where I can skip the music on it, but as soon as I put classic earphones it does the same problem. I'm gonna try another player I think. it's a pity because HTC player is starting to become gorgeous
track order
Has anyone noticed track order problems. I've started a thread on this. It's really doing my head in.
Same track order problem here. Posted it to HTC-support, they have no solution. Every other player doesn't have this problem.

Solution to Bluetooth Play/Pause Random Re-Mapping

I'm a big beyondpod user on the DX, and I almost always listen on bluetooth headphones. I have consistently had problems with beyondpod retaining control of the bluetooth play/pause button. After the screen is off the play pause button will often launch the default music player. At which point I have to fish out the phone, launch beyondpod and click the bluetooth play/pause button to re-enable beyondpod's control.
I know there are a couple of apps in the market that can set a default app for the bluetooth play/pause button, but I haven't found one that supports beyondpod.
The other day I decided to disable the default music player (changed .apk to .bak) and it has completely solved my issue. Beyondpod has not lost control of bluetooth yet! And now that google music is available I don't have to miss the default music app. I have been searching for a solution to this off and on for a year, and hadn’t until now found a good solution.

[Q] long press volume rocker to skip tracks

Hey guys, I love the feature to long press volume button that is built into AKOP to change tracks however, it does not work with one of the apps I am using called qloud, Qloud basically does the same thing as Google Music (stream music from pc->phone). It has a built in music player and every time I try to use the feature android opens up Google Music and starts playing a song. I think the built in music player is not being recognized as a music player. If I cannot get it to work with that feature I was wondering if there are any apps that could to do the same thing?
Thanks!
It apparently won't work with Google Music or for instance Player Pro (my favorite) either... Should it be working at all?

[Q] Handsfree music control

I am commuting every day and using Waze app for traffic. I also connect my Nexus 4 to the AUX port of my car for music. Since the Waze app is always on, I need to pull the notification bar down to reach the music controls. However, the buttons are very small and due to the distraction it is actually dangerous trying to select the next track. Is there a better way to control the music player in this situation? An app would let me say a voice command to change the song I am listening and so on? Thanks!
Overlays
I haven't found a perfect solution, but I downloaded "Overlays" from the play store.
I use Rocket Player, so I created a profile that overlays one of the Rocket Player Widgets over the Waze App while it's running. It's not ideal, but it's better than me having to drop down menu, similar to yours.
Ideally I'd like Waze to interact with my player so I can use it hands free.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Bluetooth adapter / default music player

I use a Kinivo BTC450 bluetooth adapter that allows me to play music (or make phone) calls through my car stereo over BT. It works great. I have three of these...one for each vehicle.
When I get in any of the vehicles and press the big button on the Kinivo, music starts to play automatically through Poweramp. However, once in a while it will try to start playing music through the Amazon mp3 app but the app gives an error and if I press the Kinivo button again, music starts playing through Poweramp.
Now, there isn't a way to set up a default music player (AFAIK) on this phone. I never told Kinivo which app to use. How does it know to use Poweramp? Why doesn't it use the stock music player (which I've used before but don't anymore)? Why does it try to sometimes use the Amazon mp3 app?
I checked under the Application Manager and none of the these apps have anything set under "Launch by default" so I can't clear anything since the "Clear Defaults" button is grayed out.
I do have a small Poweramp widget on my home screen (no lockscreen is in use). Is this what is forcing Poweramp to be the "default". If so, why does Amazon mp3 sometimes try to start?
Thanks.
