I tried the default Google Play and Music. Both displays a widget that allows me to pause/restart the track, but none of them displays how much play time remains on the track. Such functionality would be useful because I play files than often last an hour or so.
most of the players don't offer that functionality in the lock screen.

The music player on iOS (even on 7.x) gives you a progress bar and the ability to backtrack or forward from lock screen. If most android players don't have this functionality, in addition to the _default_ player, that's a serious problem. Remember that besides being phone, photos, web browsing, and games platform, the music player is one of the top applications of smartphones. Aren't smartphones meant to kill the ipod? Then why I can't access the most basic functions of music player from the lock screen? All I can do right now is stop and go. that's it.
poweramp haves all that functionality you talk about

Hey guys,
I've looked for the past hour trying to find a good music pannel but I can't find any. If this topic has already been addressed than I appologize
I don't think i'm mistaken when I assume that many of us would appreciate a pannel we could configure to work with WM player, Nitrogen, HTC player etc, but most importantly be able to go to the next / previous song on the pannel itself. For the moment we can only play / pause and it's not very user friendly when trying to switch songs.
I think AndrewSpec is on to something here with SlidingAlbums v. 1.1, even pushing it a step further, but being able to forward rewind would be the best.
Thx,
Will
Here's a plugin that works with Nitrogen. But, you'll need to use the latest alpha.

It even lets you skip to the next/prev song!

Looks pretty good for Nitrogen but unfortunately QVGA only (and only Nitrogen, but that I can live with)
thx though
I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem with the standard panel and WMP ? You can play/pause and next/prev directly, like you're requesting.
Is it possible to access Google Play Music controls (next track, previous track, etc) while I'm in another app? Or do I need to switch back to the Music app each time I want to change songs?
If I could pull down the notification bar (which contains the Music controls) while in an app, that would work -- but I can't seem to figure out how to do that...
Thanks!
Do you mean this?

How do you mean that you don't have this feature?

Yes, but is there a way to pull down the notification bar when I'm in an app (like a game)?
What I'm looking for is something like the double-tap home button to access music control like on an iPhone/iPad. I'd prefer to not have to exit the app that's currently running when I want to changes tracks. BTW, I'm on 4.2 Jelly Bean.
When you can't see the notification bar, just press the multitask button and it wil appear

This is going to be hard to explain but here I go.
I'm using a kitkat TW rom, by default, when you lock it and unlock it you get the clock and message original from galaxy and you can just swipe anywhere to unlock it.

If you are playing music, by default, it doesn't show the clock and message, instead it scrolls to the right and shows you the music controls.
So, we could say that it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 4.
The problem is that in my phone it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 2, which doesn't contain any widget. Hence, I have to swipe to the right twice to get the music controls.
Is there any way to edit the default "lock screen" that it shows when the phone is playing or not playing music?
Thanks in advance
put a widget on the screen 2

As logical as your suggestion seems, the music controls widget cannot me moved from screen nor added in a new one.
The idea is to get those controls when I unlock the device, not another widget
ok, if your lock screen have an empty pages, try to remove them
just keep the home & music lock screen
The YouTube app won't offer its "VR" mode for side-by-side viewing of ordinary 2D YT videos unless it believes you have a fully Cardboard compatible phone. While it's possible to sideload the Google Cardboard app, this does not solve the problem with YouTube. The issue is that a phone without compass and/or gyro (so, officially "not Cardboard compatible") is still completely capable of playing 2D YT videos through a Cardboard-type headset -- IF YT could be forced to offer the "Cardboard" viewing option to enable the split display. Does anyone know of a practical way to force this? Alternatively, is there a 3rd party app for doing this with YT videos that would actually work properly on the kind of phone under discussion? All the ones I've found so far that purport to do this are junk and don't really work. Thanks.
If the problem as I understand it is just playing the normal youtube videos in vr mode like this :

AND... if your android is 5.0 or higher, then "NOMone VR Broswer" (a free app on Google Play) solves the problem very well :good: .
Hi! Is there any way to make other music player work for our RGB on the sides? Its only working on google play music which is very frustrating.

Hi! It's still possible to make the RGB strips work on other apps (not just on music player apps) and I've got a temporary workaround for this. Simply add the app to Shark Space then access the Game Dock, click on the app's title on the Game Dock, go to the Multi-Experience tab, and turn on Athletic Lights. That's it. However, the RGB strips won't work if you leave the app itself so they won't work while the music player is in the background process. But it works when the screen is off as long as the app is in foreground. My device runs on China ROM, and that's how it works. It should also be the same with the Global ROM.
P.S. Not all apps can be added to the Shark Space so there has to be a separate option for this that hopefully will be added in the future updates.
Hi Joe,
I am not sure about Jetaudio but it is working with Poweramp and Blackplayer ex.
