Is there a way to change the default music player? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Is there a way I can disable the Samsung Music Player from being the default player, and switch it to Google Music?
Currently, when I plug my headphones in and press play, it auto starts Samsung Music. - I don't want that.
Any ideas?

Changing the default music player

Hey all,
I've been wondering if there is a way to change the default music player -
I'm using TuneWiki (awesome app) - but everything on the device (like, when I download songs and click the 'download complete') still opens the builtin music player...
Is there a way to change that, like you change the default browser or keyboard?

[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?

can't change song on lockscreen

While listening to spotify I can't change, play or pause the song from the lockscreen. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Mine when listening to it on my Google Max and spotify if I change it on lockscreen, it shuts off music to max and says I've started spotify on a different device and then plays off my phone instead. So not same but still an annoying bug
Workaround
I get the same thing when I have the Music FaceWidget enabled. There are a few issues with it and wish it had an option to keep the expanded player open while I have something playing.
Disable the Music FaceWidget and use the Spotify music player on the lockscreen to control the music.
Update:
After updating the Spotify app to v8.5.4.770 - The Music FaceWidget controls are working for me now which is great
