First post.
Mediascape sucks. Just to pause a song, I have to do go through so much stuff just to get to the now playing panel and press pause.
Is there a faster way, or maybe even a better media player? There are a lot and I don't want to look through them all,
Thanks
Check out Meridian Player. Add it's widget to home screen to control it easily.
Try TuneWiki. It comes with Shoutcast - internet radio & lyrics display (if applicable) during playback.
Definitely check out Meridian Player. Though I do like Mediascape, I use Meridian Player to make playlists to use in Mediascape.
Quick tip: When playing music, pull down the status bar and hit the currently playing song the quickly access the now playing page. From there, you can skip pause or select a new song from the list very quickly.
it's so stupid that we can't pause/play with a button, perhaps the camera button would do the trick...it would have been much easier
I use Meridian for movies and TuneWiki for music.
I have MW600 but i can't play/pause and is made by Sony.
I didn't test it yet if it works with Mediascape ...
you could try out MortPlayer which is a very straightforward easy to use music player that just does the job for you
bTunes works great. Has lock screen controls, and you can play/pause from the button on the X10's mic dongle (though it can be a bit finicky).
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I checked out some of the apps, but is it me or are they all not very visually appealing? Compared to the iPhone that is. (I had one but sold it 'cause I got really bored and felt it wasn't for me)
Any out there with a good looking UI?

Try Rockon or 3 for visuals, although I was getting some odd behavior from them when I would remove the headphones.

You can go straight to the current song from the App Tray.. (slide the tray down from the top and click on the "currently playing" line... Mediascape is very different to all the other "standard" media players out there and most people will take some time, and sometimes, a lot of time, to get into it... there will be improvements required I think.. things like creating playlists within the app, and lockscreen controls for the music player.. but mostly it's just different form everything else out there.. and we humans a uncomfortable with different.. until the point comes when it just feels normal.. use it.. give it time.. and then see.. (plus I also hear that the new firmware version may include some improvements for Mediascape too)..
I use my tablet at work to play music etc via the Honeycomb Music app. Its nice and simple to use but I absolutely hate the fact that there are no lock screen controls for the Music app.
I dunno, it just seems silly that in order for me it change to the next track, I have to turn on the tablet, unlock the tablet, then change the track...
Of course I've Google this issue but no one has an answer... no ones even said anything. Am I really the only person who actually likes tthe honeycomb music player, but needs the lock screen controls?
Does the lock screen have some kind of API that would allow development to create a widget of some sort that can control the music app?
Most of the players on the market have that option.
I use Power Amp because it has a phenomenal equalizer.
Use Winamp...it has d lock screen controls n its one f d best!! N moreover its free!

Is there a music app with a widget that uses the screen size of my a500. A music widget that i can operate from the home screen like winamp with the mmd2 skin. With vu meters or sound visualisation. Something like that would be very great.

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
