Want Google Play Music as default but Samsung Music takes over - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is mainly an issue with Bluetooth and plugging in headphones. For example....When I connect to my phone with Ford SYNC it automatically uses Samsung Music as the default player and starts to cycle through my saved ringtones. Very annoying as I have to physically open Google Play Music on the phone and start my selected playlist manually.
Is there any way around this? Play Music is the default player for all music types I have on the phone but that doesn't seem to matter either.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Remove it using titanium back app but u need to root first.

That's the problem. If I root I lose Sky Go so not an option.

changing default music player for bluetooth

i need a bit of help. i'm using bluetooth linking to my car and everytime it queues the phone for music when the link is established then the phone will pull the default music player. i want to change it so that i can have winamp start instead of the default player. its getting rather annoying..
Try going to settings/applications/manage applications/all tab scroll to media room select it then hit clear defaults. Media room is heavily incorporated into the Sense framework so it might be greyed out and not fix your issue but it's worth a try.

[Q] music issues

i manually click-and-dragged all my music to my music foler and for some reason the google music app only detects about half of my songs; the app double twist does the same. PowerAMP found all my music but all out of order so I dont know what I should try, any suggestions?

Google play music - Music playback error

OK so here is an odd one, got some music on my phone's internal memory. MP3 Format.
When I try and play it through Google music it give me a music playback error on every track.
If I go through file explorer and click on the individual files then choose Google play music from the pop up to actually play the track it works fine???
Anyone else had this issue?

I'm having an issue with music stored on my phone. Play Music will play the first track but has an error when trying to switch to the next song. Streaming music works though.

GS4 Stock Music Player App Tag & Album Art Issue

Most of the album art on the stock music app are fine but there's 4 I came across that have album covers that don't match with the music. They were there when I downloaded the song but I didn't care about them since I was using Poweramp but I wanted to switch to stock for the air gestures and adapt sound. Anyways... I tried transferring the 4 songs to my computer to edit the tags using an mp3 tag editor and transferred them back on my phone and it didn't work. I also tried deleting the songs from my phone and putting the album art-less songs back. The same artworks still remain. I also used a couple of tag editors from the play store. Still no luck. Any ideas how I can remove these annoying artwork from my music player? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem. You need to force start android's media scanner. Unfortunately, you can't do that manually without an external app, like that one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
If that doesn't work, go to app manager and clear "Media Storage" data, then run this app again.

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Remote not Working

First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read/respond to my post. I have an unrooted Note 3.
My issue is when I use my jaybird bluebuds x or monster isport freedom bluetooth headsets with my Note 3 the next track buttons do not work. Well.. let me rephrase that. When I hit the next track button is launches the samsung music app and skips that track.
So the button is being registered but it's not working for the active player. Like if I'm listening to pandora and hit next track then the samsung music app launches and skips that track instead.
Is there any way to force (using tasker or something without rooting) the phone/headset to recognize the current active music player instead of the default samsung player?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
It's more likely the app doesn't recognize headset controls.
I've never had stock music player pop up when using the controls with N7player. But it has a menu for headset controls...

Disable the Samsung player in Settings and try? I usually always keep the default apps all disabled and use PowerAMP for my music, never fails me when I use my BlueBuds X.

How do I disable the samsung player in settings? Are you referring to settings for bluebuds bluetooth, cuz I didn't know you could specify specific aps.
I prefer to stream my music so I don't have to organize my music. That's why I use pandora/slacker and not PowerAMP. Thanks though.

Your phone settings. Manage Apps, All, find your music player, click on it, Disable.
