Hi guys, as in topic - what is "media control" app and what can I do with it?
I do only use Spotify for music, so no idea what to do with this one...
It basically does the same thing as the media player notification on your phone:
Title
Artist
Play/Pause
Last Track
Next Track
Volume up
Volume down
It even works with Sonos!

Does the a2dp volume app show the song information on the CD player when streaming music from your phone through Bluetooth? Thanks.
Hi All
Does anyone else here use the desktop dock to listen to music? I do at work with a headphone amp - it works great.
There are a couple of annoying points though. Firstly if you lift the phone out of the dock whilst music is playing it doesn't pause the music it just plays it out loud from the phone speaker - not good in a quiet office.
Similarly if a call comes in when you have finished the call the music that was playing before you took the call starts playing when you hang up. What's even more annoying is that the play music app is not listed in the notification field to easily pause it, you need to re-launch it then get the now playign screen up and then pause it - all whilst your music is played out lous for the whole office to hear.
VERY ANNOYING
Any way round this? I hope they fix these bugs soon.
Use a better music player app?
Player Pro, N7Player, Winamp, etc... Any player that has lots of docking and bluetooth options. Just check the ones you want.
Example: i only have one play/pause button on my headphones, so i binded it that way:
1 click: Play/Pause
2 click: Next Song
3 click: Previous Song

This is using the Google Music app so I can play my music from the cloud. I've not tried it with Spotify (the only other app I use for music) but I am pretty sure it'll do the same thing. I'll try it next time I'm in the office though.
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.
So I am listening to google music/pandora/etc and I want to switch to the next song while on a bike ride or whatever...but it will just play my music that i have internally and then switch the song
it does not work for the apps that I am on...is there a way to change that?
hopefully i am being clear.
i understand there is the remapper

I don't like having the media notification on my watch with the little play/pause action, I prefer to just handle that with my phone. I tried specifically muting Pocketcasts and Spotify in the Android Wear app, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas? Is there a different app that I need to mute to make this happen?
what app are you using for music? for me the controls don't appear if i disable the lockscreen feature on poweramp
I use Spotify for music and Pocketcasts for podcasts. Same problem with both.
you can try muting spotify and pocketcasts, go on android wear, click on the cog icon on top right, it should be the first option in that menu
Edit: sorry reread your previous post, seems that didn't work, on spotify you can try to turn off device broadcast status or you can go to settings > apps > spotify and uncheck show notifications
