That's actually one of its few purposes , so far. Upload your music to Google music, then when you have a Q selected the sound comes from the Q instead of your phones speaker. Same thing with play movies and YouTube. Optical out, HDMI out, or a 25 watt amp if you don't have a system.
But strictly from your sdcard , no. You'd have to have it uploaded to work. You might be happier with a Bluetooth reciever module.

Thank friend your reply. Oh! that means this device useless for me. My country Google play music not available. I try to purchase Nexus Q from eBay and play my phone SD file via this device.

You can sign up by using a proxy to look like you're in the US. Look for a tutorial on using Netflix from abroad, it's the same deal. You only need to be 'in' the US to register, then you can upload and play music without the proxy after that.

[Q] Music equalizers

Hello everyone,
I just recently made the jump from a S2 to the S4 and I must say this phone surpasses all my expectations so far. The only thing that I find I need to get working better is the audio for music. Playing music in the google music app seems kinda flat. My old phone phone was rooted and I had beats audio on it, but with my new phone I don't really need to root it till we get LTE in my area for wifi tethering. That's really all i need to root for. Can anyone recommend a way to increase my audio experience? I have tried a couple of equalizers off the play store but they only seem to work for a short time before they stop and I have to reboot or reload the app.
Thanks for any advice or help anyone can give.
Brian
EDIT: I mainly use a LG BT headset with my phone so that would need to be supported ( which has been part of my issue ) .

Any one help out ?

[Q] S5 and car hifi

Hi,
I "recently" bought a S5 (G900F).
My car hifi supports MTP, so I in theory it should work fine with my S5.
That isn't so far of, since I can access music on my phone, but, sadly, not on its 64GB SD card, where I store my music.
I wondered which one was at fault, my car hifi, or my mobile. Searching the web, didn't give me any answers.
Where do you ask for help, if it isn't clear where the problem originates from?
Right when I was about to give up, my wife plugged in her S4 mini, and it worked fine!
Now it's bugging me, again.
I checked the Android version (both are 4.4.2), the settings (both have developer settings enabled). The only difference I could find is the kernel version.
Does anyone have an idea what I need to do, to be able to access my SD card with my car hifi?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: Just to make it clear, I don't want to use AUX or Bluetooth, since both require interaction with my mobile, if I want to change the playlist. This can be quite expensive, in my country. MTP can be controlled by the car hifi.
P.P.S.: Using the phones storage for music would work, but would make the 64GB SD a waste of money.

[Q] Track/Artist Metadata Issue Over Bluetooth?

Hey everyone!
I'm having an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I have a Galaxy S5 that recently received the lollipop update. Prior to this update when playing music from Google Play Music the track/artist metadata would pass and show up on my car's stereo display. Post update I can still connect, play music over bluetooth, and control the music with steering wheel/dash controls, but the metadata no longer displays (using Google Play Music).
I did some different tests and if I play a mp3 file from the stock music app the metadata is passed. I also connected my wife's phone ( Moto X still on KitKat) and tried streaming music though GP Music and the metadata shows up as expected. I've tried deleting/pairing my phone again and even did a factory reset on my S5 last night, but nothing seems to resolve this.
I know there seems to be hit or miss with AVRCP. I haven't been able to find much in terms of actual information and thought I'd check in to see if anyone has had a similar experience or would possibly have a solution.
Thanks!

I am also having the same issue. Sprint basically told me that it isn't their problem and to wait it out. I've downloaded suggested apps and everything else except doing a hard reset.

MP3 metadata not showing over Bluetooth in car - T-Mobile
I just updated to the latest release for my Galaxy S5, Lollipop, and everything seems to work like a champ, except the streaming of music from my phone to my car's in-dash receiver. Prior to the upgrade, everything worked great. All metadata was passed along, as well as the track progress, and skip forward and backward. After the update, the music will play just fine, but I cannot skip tracks from my car stereo or steering wheel controls any more, I have to do it from my phone. Also, none of the metadata is passed along to my stereo.
I use the stock music app on my phone, but I also tried the Google Play Music app, and it does the same thing. The MP3 files are all stored locally on my SD card.
I'm hoping someone else out there has had this problem, and has solved it. Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. After the lolipop upgrade of S5 I was not able to see the track/artist name on the display of my car anymore. However the there is no problem with streaming of music to car speakers. I'm using spotify but I tried playing mp3 files and different applications. None of them worked. Car display only shows the device name of the S5. I contacted Samsung support with the hope to get an answer and the first thing they asked was whether I tried the device with another bluetooth capable device. No way! I have another car but no bluetooth capability. Recently Samsung deployed another update after lolipop upgrade but the same again.
Having the artis/track name; does it contribute too much? won't make you fly but it was there when we had the kit kat on S5 and missing at the moment. Yes I have the same problem but don't have a resolution... Would be great to hear different ideas or a workaround from Samsung!
Thanks.

Same problem here on my Galaxy S5 with TW Lollipop. I'm so disappointed about all the stuff that changed (e.g notifications) or does not work like Bluetooth avrcp. I start to regret the update to LP. And I wated over a year...

A temporary fix could be to download Music mate from the app store, (it can pull songs from play music onto your device). Not sure if this would help you guys as it seems some of you have already got local access to the mp3s etc.
Just thought I'd say anyway just incase.
Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion. Music Mate needs a Google Play account which I don't have. I tried another suggested app which should fix this temporary (Bluetooth something) but it did not work. Which I had suspected because the root cause seams to be AVRCP 1.5 inside Android Lollipop instead of older backward compatible versions 1.3 or 1.4. The suspicion is that Google's engeenier didn't have older / legacy / enough different Bluetooth car cits to test. Compiling the source code with a compiler switch, which disables AVRCP 1.5 leads to working meta information. Because Bluedroid is a new proprietary stack newly build by Google it doesn't help to have its source open. There is no APK which we can exchange with a working older version. Instead it seams to be compiled into core components of Android. So the only two chances seams to be:
1. Samsung / Your Handset provider pushes an update which fixes this
2. somebody finds a way through XPOSED to patch the relevant stuff into a life Lollipop.

Bluetooth Music Auto Start

I have seen this question come up on forums more than once but never with a definite solution.
I upgraded from an S4 to a Note 4 over the last month and all of a sudden, the default music player auto starts when my phone connects to the car radio (the same car I have had the whole time) via bluetooth. I have tried apps like "Bluetooth Connect & Stop Play" but only works like 1 out of 10, I even used a tasker like app "Llama", which seemed to help a little (basically won't override the behavior).
This is such an annoyance since buying the phone that I am considering rooting the thing and disabling the default music player..only thing that makes me hesitate is that I am thinking that whatever the design flaw this is, will just continue when another music app become default...or a custom ROM. Only other option I have is to delete my SD card music location so the player doesn't have any music to play but then whats the point of having the music on the SD card in the first place.
If anyone else have any ideas, I sure would appreciate it.
