Meridian and Bluetooth Headset

Hi,
I install Meridian player and like it very much.
But when I'm using my AD2P bluetooth headset, it launches and changes HTC Music player tracks.
I enabled the "use headset" option in Meridian, but can't find where to disable it for default player.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I got the same problem.
I tried to disable it with the program Autostarts (paid app)
The buttons don't work if i disable it.
Does anyone have a solution so it works with Meridian.
I also have the problem that sometimes the audio stutters,
and when i play mp3's i hear some variation in the playback speed.

I didn't find any solution yet.
Anybody ?

I have the same problem with Beyondpod and ACast. Dou you have find a solution ?

I tried with default android player..same result: impossible to change tracks.
Only HTCMusic player seems to have this functionnality

The stutter comes from apps that run in the background, i also hope that it will be fixed in android 2.0. when i close everything with taskkiller it works fine.
I tested Meridian with my headset and the same problem. when i press a button like play/pause htc player starts. maybe it works if you remove the htc player?? but i'm not sure.

I tried to kill HTC Music, and later to delete HtcMusic.apk.
Same results, meridian don't work with headset buttons

I've found the stutter is from wifi being on. It keeps checking and using up resources.
I would love the ability to pause/skip tracks in acast and last.fm. Is this something that may be added in the future?

better Playlist editor????

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??

Wrong song title sent thtough Bluetooth AVRCP

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.

Looking for a standalone music player app for Android Wear with Equalizer!

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.

Jetaudio or Power Amp both extremely good audio player's.

Power Amp! Definitely has the most customization and sound out of all of the others.

Pulsar+

Poweramp is the best hands down

Well, if you are fine to purchase, nothing beats Poweramp

I like Stellio

Auxio on F-Droid is really good
ViMusic on F-Droid is also really good

Musicolet Highly recommended and free
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLING
1. This app plays only local audio files that you already have.
2. This app does not support music streaming or downloading

Poweramp ftw!!

Hard to beat Poweramp!

Best one : AIMP // No ads, free and supports loseless music files (aiff, flac)

If your looking for a free and worthy audio player Simple Mobile Tools have a decent product.
You can download via f-droid.org or GPS
Simple Music Player - Apps on Google Play

Just PowerAmp
