[Q] Automating with Tasker - HTC One X

Hi all.
I'm trying out Tasker, and my question is this:
I'm trying to get a profile that starts actually playing music (does not open the app, but plays the music), but when I try to use Music Control or Music Play it plays music from the "Play Music" player of Google, and not the "Music" app of HTC.
Anybody knows how I can play music straight from the "Music" app?
Thanks!

In app management, go to play music and select clear defaults.
Next time you play a music file it will ask which player to use.

Tried it, did not solve my problem. my problem is that is detects it as default music player, not default music player to play selected files. I need somehow to change the default action of the media controls of the phone.

[Q] Preventing Music Beta from automatically starting

Music beta, the Google Android app that supports Google Music Beta, autostarts whenever it detects a BT audio connection that isn't being used. So, for instance, if I shut off Poweramp or another streaming player before I disconnect BT, it will instantly pop up and start playing, sometimes even before the other app has shut down.
There is no settings menu to prevent it from "reacting" to headset commands in the app, and I'd like to be able to control whether it autostarts or not from another application. I downloaded Autostarts, but it doesn't even recognize the event as a trigger for the application.
Any other suggestions? I'd uninstall the damn program, but it's the only app out there now that will play music stored in Google Music beta.
interesting. Have never had it auto-play on bt connect. Are you using the widget as-well?

Nope. I only run the app when I want to play music on Google Music Beta. Otherwise I run Poweramp. What's annoying is that I'll have Pocketcasts up and running and even playing, and suddenly Music will decide it wants to play, too. I had this problem with Winamp and I had it with the stock Music app.
I froze the stock Music app in Titanium, and I could always remove this one, but then there aren't any other apps that play music stored in Google Music.
haven't tried it (trashed google music) but something called 'phantom' (appbrain) claims to play google music in the pro version. I THOUGHT I saw another one that did it but can't find it now. Look around; keep eye out.

[Q] Change Bluetooth's Default Music Player from Google Music to Samsung Stock Music

Hi,
I have been enjoying my music using my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth headset and it was working perfectly with the Samsung Stock music Player.
Even after I turn off my BT headset and then turn on, and clicking start/pause button from the BT headset, the song which i had listened earlier would start again. Also i love the Samsung's Music Square.
But suddenly I saw Google Music being installed in my phone and it had become my default music player. Now whenever i click on the BT start button, the Google Music app gets initiated.
I am unable to delete Google Music and unable to reset my Samsung Stock Music player as default music player. Is this the case with anyone and how did you reset your settings. Could anyone help me.
Kindly note, i have not rooted my phone.
Thanks.
Go to app manager and open google music. Then click clear defaults.

[Q ] Annoying bluetooth

I've been using ford sync to stream audio from the phone to the car via bluetooth. When I make a call and end it, the phone starts playing music through the bluetooth via the music player. I don't want the music player to automatically start, I want it to go back to streaming the audio I was playing.
My question is this, Is there a way to stop the default music player from automatically play anything with bluetooth when ending a call? If not, maybe disable the default player altogether?
Thanks.

That should be an option in your music player.

There are only 3 setting in the setting menu on the phones music player. I know this has to do with the phone. It wants to default to the factory music player and not the last app playing sound before the phone call.

If I were having this issue, I'd use ROM Toolbox's App Manager to find the default music player in question and freeze it.

Optimus g power amp music player

I'm using poweramp as my main music player but I'm having problems because when I install a game the music player adds the sound files to the song list. Is there a way to avoid this problem?
It's really annoying to be listening to some tunes an a car sound suddenly appears

I think poweramp can sort music by folder to avoid your problem
Go into the settings, and manually select the folders you want it to scan for music. By default, it scans the entire /sdcard hierarchy (as you noticed).

Can Google Now play music with HTC Music app??

I am not sure why Google Now does not recognize the stock music app on the M9 as a music player.
Using Google Now with Google Play Music installed, I say "Play my music". Google launches Google Play music. I back out to the previous screen where I now have an option. For selecting another music player, though the stock app isn't there. Uninstalling Google Play music or disabling it from the phone search in Google settings does not remedy this.
Is there something else I am missing? How can I flag the stock music app as the music app?
