Hi,
I have a Nexus 4, Android 4.3. I upgraded to 4.3 for AVRCP 1.3+ support. I am using my car head unit (KD-X50BT) to control the media player on my phone (Poweramp) and my phone stream the audio back to the head unit. This part works like a charm. :good:
The problem is that the song title displayed on my head unit is wrong. :crying: It is either "Stop", "Pause" or the title of another song. After investigation, it looks like the phone sends to the head unit the information from Google Play Music app instead of Poweramp.
- I have enabled the metadata option of Poweramp.
- Poweramp is the default media player
- I have tried disabling Google Play Music
- I have tried multiple media player other than Poweramp, even the app from JVC.
- I have tried installing Media Button Router.
Please help me to resolve this. Thank you.
I have the same problem, now that JB 4.3 sends info through BT, I've tried in my car and can only see song, album, artist title using Play Music, it looks like PowerAmp has a bug.

Probably more than Poweramp, since I have seen this problem with multiple Audio player. I found out this week-end that MusicXmatch does not have this problem. I can probably live with this player for now. I will keep PowerAmp for my headset, and MusiXmatch for BT streaming.
I've got a new Sony BT ready head unit, and it's not picking up any information from any of my players (PowerAMP, Google Music, or Apollo).
I currently with PowerAMP and Android 4.4
Had the same issue with Pebble and my car stereo (Titles not shown). After enabling settings-BT-Metachanged intent and send album - Artist in Poweramp settings the song title and artist is showing OK on both devices
Never worked for me in my kenwood car stereo but I assume its because of the stereo. Couldn't find any reliable info on it though.

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??

I own a Venturi Mini, which is a in-car FM Transmitter/Bluetooth unit. As well as being a hands-free kit it also connects as a bluetooth stero headset to my HD and transmits the music via FM to my stereo. It's a lovely piece of kit.
On the unit, as well as being able to dial and hangup there are play, pause, stop, fast forward & rewind controls. These used to operate the music player in Manilla.
I have recently flashed to one of the Stonehenge roms, but now the controls on the venturi connect to Media Player. If I am alreasy playing music through the unit from manilla and then press, for example, fast forward, the manilla player stops and media player opens on it's library plage.
This is annoying. The manilla player is nice and finger friendly as well as having simple visuals. This is great for driving.
Does anybody know if there are any windows settings or registry values I can change to determine which music player an external bluetooth headset controls. I don't mind if I ended up with it fixed to the manilla player or to whichever player is in focus.
Thank you in advance.
Once I wrote the above message I saw a couple of approriate keywords in the list at the bottom which helped me make my searches more appropriate.
Below are a few threads relating to this issue. It appears to be between the bluetooth driver and WM6.5
I can't yet post links so look for the following threads:

Hi, i'm looking for a music player that play music from the SmartWatch via Bluetooth without pairing the Phone. I need a equalizer too to adjust the Bluetooth audio sound. Is there anithing similar?

Maybe my app could help you
Offline music player for the watch including copy manager between phone and watch. Currently without equalizer, but could be a nice feature
Search in play store for "Wear Media", it's free
The Sony Walkman app works too, no equalizer though.
I'm looking for a standalone music player app for Android Wear with Equalizer!
I'd like to listen to music on my Bluetooth headphone without my phone. (just music on my watch + headphone)
I found an app for this, which is called "Wear Media - Music Gallery". It works perfectly, but sounds awful. No EQ settings in the app at all.
So I'm looking for something similar to Wear Media with EQ settings option!
OR:
I'm looking for a standalone headphone Equalizer app for Android Wear that I could use for any music player apps. I found one on Google Play that is called "Headphones Equalizer by ManyThingsDev", but it seems like a big lie. It says it has full support for Android Wear. No it doesn't. It doesn't even appear on my watch in the list of apps, nor in the Google Play section of my watch as an installable app.
So a real, working, standalone EQ app for the watch would be nice. If anyone knows one, please let me know!
Hi,
I've never seen any wear app with equalizer.
I'm using Musio and the sound is quite good, i.e. the same than with my Smartphone through Bluetooth.

Hi
I have, until now been using Agama launcher together with both Alexa, Amazon Music and Rocket Player (latter for local music). I've been trying to get Car Launcher Pro working with same.
With Alexa and Amazon Music apps, Car Launcher Pro's music control buttons and album cover display works just fine, but Rocket Player refuses to work with it (buttons do nothing, ditto album covers etc).
Wondered if there was a fix or if someone could suggest a player for local music that does work (not a file based player, rather one that will index the collection and list by album, artist etc).

I use Poweramp, paid version, on my Android. Strictly a database music player.
My data base is organized as artist/album/song track. Poweramp can be set up to recognize this.
It's setup is complex but it's extremely configurable. Allows for complete settings and playlist backup. As long as the data base is intact it can fully reconstruct playlists from the backup in under a minute or two for 6000+ songs. Supports unlimited playlists.
High res throughput. An outstanding graphic equalizer with the ability to save multiple EQ setups for albums or individual songs.
Rock solid stable. Zero issues.
Thanks, tried poweramp and it works, but its going to be hard moving from Rocket Player. Poweramp is damned ugly in comparison! I'll try and find some pleasing skins for it!

I haven't play with it's skins much. The current skin works.
Hi. To follow up on this, I contacted folks at my preferred audio player, Rocket Player and they came up with the missing config change within minutes. Now working grand, and ditched poweramp again.
Head to Rocket Player Settings -> System Resources -> Keep Notification and turn that ON.
Head to Rocket Player Settings -> Operation - > Third Party Controls and turn that ON.
Head to Rocket Player Settings -> Headset/Bluetooth -> Obey Headset Controls and turn that ON.
Head to Rocket Player Settings -> Headset/Bluetooth -> Support Volume Controls and turn that OFF.
It was the 3rd one that was missing.
Good to hear but I'm not feeling it. Poweramp is a keeper. I use it completingly offline.
