Just downloaded and tried '3' Music Player and it's very very good... Definately worth checking out...
Search for RockOn in the market and it's the app with a small "3"
Yeah I tried it. its pretty cool just needs alittle bit more tuning.
It stops playing for me when the screen turns off. Anyone else having this issue?
Looks sick, and hella smooth though

Not having that problem myself!
From what I've read theres a lot more to come from the dev on this one...
Yep! ³ has definitely replaced my default music app. I can't wait to see what he adds to it next.
Whoa! Crazy concept that one is.
Would be great if you had the option to have song/album/artist lists instead of JUST an album cube...
Best music app for Android I've seen.
One annoying feature, if you enable the headphone controls, it starts the player whenever you push the button (i.e. skipping a song in Pandora launches RockOn3 and they play simultaneously). Would be great if there was a playlist by folder creation function as well.
i got a problem with dis player it get freezed i dono y.... pls help me....
I just tried this out and it certainly contains the eye candy I love while still mainting usability. If I go past the Z however, it spins the opposite direction without stopping. I have to go to view mode then back to the three to stop it.
I love the automatic album art downloader too. Does it save the art to the actual mp3 file or to the app itself?
Crazy concept. I like it!
For some reason, I can't find it in the market. Is it still there?
so search Rockon and you will find it

Yep, search for rockon and it's the third one down if i remember correctly. unfortunately the "3" is "³" as in cubed. Not sure why they chose such a hard to search for name...
I hate to say it but I've moved back to the stock music player. I can't stand how this player functions and it is painfully slow.
I use my Atrix BlueTooth in my Pick Up for all calls.When I switch the stereo to BT Audio the Atrix automatically starts Music Player. Is there a way to shut this off? It is a pain in the butt when I want to watch HBOgo movies or listen to Pandora....I have to pause the Music Player because there is no way I know of to shut it down.

Ah you beat me to it
No problem, I see so much outrageous spelling and grammar on these forums. Don't try to correct someone if your post is going to look so atrocious.
that must be a 3rd party music player doing that. when BT audio connects to my phone it doesnt auto play (but I would like it to)
Stock Atrix music player. I wish we could trade problems. Hah

Had the same problem. Here's my fix:
Download AutoStarts from Market. Open the app and scroll down to "Media button pressed". Open up that option, and disable the Music app. Save, exit, reboot and you're done!
Downside is that AutoStarts costs $1.
Can anyone get the "Play me some songs from [band name]/[album title]" to successfully start playing music through the Play Music app using Google Now/Touchless Control?
The best I can do is get it to return a search for the band/album in Play Music, despite that face that Google Now responds with "Playing Request", and acknowledges the correct band/album name I've said...
aside from this, if I tell Google Now to play, for example, "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance, it will acknowledge that I've said that specific song, but it will search Play Music for "Teenagers" and play the first hit, which is a song called "Teenagers" by Department of Eagles.
This is especially infuriating because in the new ads that Motorola just put out, they launch Play Music using Touchless Control and it works great! (can't post a link here since I'm new, but just youtube "lazy phone - touchless control")
any one else experiencing this issue?
I'm on a Moto X (duh) running the latest version of the Google Search app (2.7.9.789824) and Play Music (5.2.1204L.814012) .. I have "Play Music" checked in the Phone Search settings, but having it unchecked seems to return the same result.
thanks in advance for the help!

Superpopsss, glad I'm not alone in this. now we've just gotta find a fix!
I've been talking to someone on G+ who is running 4.3 on his Nexus 7 and this functionality works fine. (he's also on All Access, but I don't think that should affect this behavior)
maybe it's a bug in 4.2.2?

It does auto play, however, it isn't a track off the actual album. It does seem to work just fine when you only specify a band.

Only specifying the band works for me up to the point where I still have to press the "play" button on Play Music. I mean, thanks Google Now, you opened the thing for me, and have it ready to run. But didn't I already ask to play it? I mean... that's what I thought when I said "play some Aerosmith" (btw, Gnow does have a hard time understanding "Aerosmith" )
Also not working for me
Using the Moto X on Rogers, and I'm having the same problem, but I'm one step further back.
The voice commands/google now won't bring up a "play music" card at all. I've tried "play ___", "listen to ____", etc. and all I get is a google search result with youtube links or music play store links to buy the music. It recognizes what I'm saying but there doesn't seem to be the functionality to play the music using voice commands as advertised. I've tried putting hard copies of the music in the "music" folder and that doesn't change anything. I've been through google now settings and moto voice commands settings but can't find anything to help.
Any suggestions? Otherwise everything works perfectly.
I have a big problem using this music playing functionality...
But.. My main problems are actually my own and not how the phone performs.
First of all, I can never think of an actual name of any song or sometimes even artist that I want to listen to. My brain just does not translate desires into words very well, but works fine when scanning through a list of names. But I think I can get over this and have it be of slightly more use.
What really limits my use of this function is the actual music I listen to.
I listen to a lot of power metal, punk rock, and other more obscure music.
I have been completely unable to get Google Now to recognize band names such as:
-Ayreon
-Kamelot
-Turisas
-Benuts
-Blackguard
-The Blaggards
-Cruachan
-Deathmole
-Dethklok
-Doomsword
-Eluveitie
-Falkenbach
-Forefather (GN always hears this as "for father")
-Heavatar
-Naio Ssaion
-Powerglove
-Power World
-Sirenia
-Skatalites
-Tyr
Surprisingly it recognized the bands Korpiklaani and Gojira.
That said, this is only a small segment of the music I have on my phone but it includes some that I listen to very often, and many of these artists are more readily in my mind.
I think it's extremely odd that I'll ask Google Now "What is Ghost Opera" and it'll come out and tell me that it is an album by Kamelot.
But, if I ask it to "Play Ghost Opera" it chooses to play a song with that title by Technomind, and I can't ask it to play the album or the song by Kamelot because Google Now always thinks I'm saying Camelot.
But, I do have a question for people that have gotten this to work... Does it ever actually queue up more than one song?
For instance I'll ask for it to "Play some songs from Voltaire", and it'll only queue up "When You're Evil" every time. It won't ever play another one of his songs even though this specific song is nowhere near the first one in any of his albums or playlist.
Can it play playlists if I create them or any of my defined "radio stations"?
I've had better luck saying "Stream (artist)" or "Stream (song) by (artist)"
No luck on queuing up more than one song, though. Saying "Stream (album) by (artist)" still just plays one track.
edit: saying "Stream (album) by (artist)" actually just takes me to the artist page, without playing the album. A shortcut, but not ideal. This is assuming that the title of the album is NOT also a title of a song. If that's the case, it just plays the song. Saying "Stream the album (album)" or "Stream the album (album) by (artist)" results in a google search.
It's hit and miss with me. Unfortunately it's a problem with Google Now. Google will need to fix it.

Khourya make sure in your "settings" for Google Now in "Phone Search" you have Google Music checked. Though it seems to have no affect for me, it may for you.
also try "play me some" or "stream" like some others in the thread were suggesting.
Dark, it's interesting you say it's an issue with Google Now. I think it's more an issue with Play Music. I've seen a lot of videos use Now to launch a random track when searching for an Artist, or play an Album, but it was all with the old (pre-white UI) Music app...
I find it hard to believe they know it's a bug when they're quite literally advertising the functionality we're all having trouble with in those new "Lazy Phone" ads...
In general I can get it to play music but it only actually started playing after I selected a few times that I actually want it to play music using Play Music instead of just searching for music to buy.
My bigger issue is actually getting Google Now to recognize me when I say band names that I know it can recognize.

I'm on rogers moto x as well. Same issues you are having. I even tried typing in "stream" or "play music" in Google now and the selected "phone" section and it couldn't find any results in my phone. Ridiculous.
Maybe because Google music isn't in Canada rogers?

I'm on a different device but same problem. It doesn't seem to work at all for me. I have phone search set to search my music player but google now will always perform a web search. If I scroll all the way to the bottom and select 'phone' as what to search under after I searched I see my song there, but the automation part seems to be broke.

Nine out of ten times this is what it does to me too. Very upsetting day one with phone. I think this is the only thing that I haven't been able to make work. grrr
So I just noticed the other day that when I'm listening to my all access and i go to skip a song from my lock screen, the song name will change but the band/ artist name wont. It really annoys me and was wondering if it was just a bug on my phone, or happened on others. the worst is when I have Pandora on and skip a song, I can see the song name, but the artist name will be from a song i listened to 2 hours ago...
wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on how to possibly fix it or wait for an update
Thanks

Until about a week or so ago when I connected N6 to car system via bluetooth and used google maps, I got just the google nav voice. Now I start hearing media files, even ringtones and movie sound tracks. I have turned off settings for autoplay in Bluetooth settings, and try to turn off in PowerAmp. Problem is if I stop or pause the playing of the sound track in Poweramp then I lose the Nav voice as well. If I pause or stop the track playing in the car system I also lose the nav voice sound. I have flashed nothing at all between the acceptable nav-voice-only behavior and the onset of the automatic media file playing. Only thing that has happened was playstore updates including PowerAmp, and Google Maps. I did a search in this forum but found nothing about this. Driving me more nuts than usual.
Any help would be appreciated .
Seriously? Only 2 of us have this problem? Really need solution as Google navigation is basically useless until this is solved.
I've had the same problem. I haven't found a solution. I think using voice control has something to do with it.

Bump. Really need help, guys.
Do you ever use Google Music in your car?
I don't know if this will be the answer or not, but if you do have it, it's possible some of these files ended up in the queue. Open up Google Music and click the three dots in the upper right. There should be an option in there to 'Clear Queue' or something like that.
Since this seems to be more or less random media files and not actually songs, I don't know if this is the fix or not, but worth giving a shot.

I just started having this problem as well, and I have no audio player app (rely on built in player of ES File exporer). If you pause the song playing, then Navigation voice works. But whenever the voice says something, the audio file it randomly selected advances that amount of time as though it's playing too

Thanks for your response. No, don't even have Google music. I use poweramp but will see if I can clear queue or something. I haven't used it in the car but that's what is playing the sound files. I went into Poweramp while the sounds were playing and paused it and the sounds stopped. But Nav voice never came back.

So strange. Have you tried using nav (walking maybe?) while not in the car? I'm wondering if you could point it to an app problem or possibly bluetooth problem. What about if you use the nav in the car without going through bluetooth?
I'd also try freezing PowerAmp while using Nav and seeing if that works.
Try to eliminate as many variables as possible and see if you can pinpoint exactly what's causing the issue, then maybe we can find out why.
Other ideas would be clearing data from PowerAmp, test, Maps, test, then Google's voice-to-text or whatever the 'voice' app is that produces the turn-by-turn, test and see if you can nail down exactly what app it is.

Thanks. It plays songs as well as ring tones - - - any sound files it can find apparently. If I pause the player, nav voice stops too. Don't know why it suddenly started doing this. I have not had this happen before in my 11 1/2 months of Nexus 6. Same rom /kernel everything since mid August with no problems until last week. May have to go into Titanium and freeze Poweramp. What idiot dreamed up forcing bluetooth autoplay on us? At least Google maps has an option to play voice over bluetooth or not. Oh, well - - the joys of Nexus.
So I Went into Titanium and froze all music player apps. No more autoplay. Tomorrow I'll see if it sticks and whether nav voice plays over bluetooth. Pita to have to do it this way.

Unfortunately I have nothing to freeze, so I still need a fix. Gonna play around with some of the Google apps and see if maybe one of them (or an update) is causing this. Will let you know
UPDATE: OK for me the issue comes up if I use OK GOOGLE to start things off. The audio time counter advances whenever Candace (name given by my wife to the Navigation voice) speaks. Counter then pauses until she speaks again, then pauses, etc.
If I start Navigation without using OK Google commands, audio time counter does nothing when Candace speaks.
So I think it's one of the google apps. I rolled back a number of them to their default version, but that didn't matter. Could be one I didn't try or even another app. Again I have no music players installed. I use the audio player of ES File Explorer as needed.

Yup. Nav voice over bluetooth is fine. Next step is to unfreeze poweramp & see if autoplay comes back. I'll have wait until next week to try it tho.
