I can confirm that Gear is working with poweramp, it can control music and display metadada ( song name etc...). Just open a music file with an file.explorer and set the type of file.to be open with de desired program. After that the gear will work work with it.

did you have to do anything to it? i wonder if i rooted the note and deleted the samsung music app if that would help?
I couldnt get google music to play. Even if google music was active in memory, if I pressed next track on media player on watch - Samsung player would play.
I needed a way to make google music the default player. Google search turned up:
Default App Manager Lite (free)
By appiator
Just use the above app to make google music your default music app. Now gear always plays google music. Plus no need to uninstall Samsung music player or root gn3.

SO, just to be 100% clear before I drop $300 lol, this will make it so the stock Gear music controller controls PowerAmp? As well as S Voice launching through PowerAmp for music? My Motoactv just died and the only way I could justify moving away from it is if this had proper remote features to the PowerAmp since I need my custom EQs for my 86 BMW's speakers. If this is all true, as long as I love my Note 3 coming Monday I will be ordering a Gear ASAP! Thanks in advance guys!
It seems that you need to start the desired music player first on the phone. After that all the commands from gear goes to the opened app. That's my case. I tried to set power amp as the default with app manager lite but it seems that doesn't work.

Wait, I'm confused. It appears that some are talking about controlling PowerAmp on the Note through the Media Controller while some are talking about running it on the Gear itself. I want to know if I can use the Music controllers on music players besides Samsung's. Also, I've heard that as soon as the Gear times out and the display turns off that you have to navigate back to the media controls. Is this true and is there any way to avoid it?

Thats where I'm sorta confused myself. I wanna know if I can use my gear to control Poweramp on my phone. Everytime I use the Media Controller, it opens up Samsung music app. As for when the display turns off, I press the power button on the Gear and it's still in the Media Controller. Its cool how it shows song of name etc.

So who's thinking about subscribing to all access and keeping the service?
I'm on the trail version now but I think I maybe keeping it. I really like that you could listen to any song or album and let it play completely all the way through it. The new ui is nice and all but I like the color to stay blue.

I've been using Spotify Premium for over a year now, and I have to say that after trying Google Music the service is kind of disappointing. I mean, the service itself is great, but the UI, Apps and the fact that it's browser only is really really disappointing.
I used it for about 20 min and I just couldn't deal with it. Let me provide some details. If you're on your desktop with Spotify (Windows 7), you can hover over the Spotify tab and you will get backward, pause, and forward buttons on the live previews in Windows 7. This doesn't work in Music because it's a browser based app.
I also find the UI kind of hard to navigate through. It looks nice and all with the Google Now theme, but it's just not... intuitive IMO.
I really wanted to switch over, but it looks like I'm going to stick with Spotify for now.

Yes I'm talking about both versions. I've used the phone app and the Web app.
Also, I should note I don't own any actual music. I stream only/save on device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I think its a good start. Yes it could be a little more intuitive but I don't have any real issues with it. I have been waiting for Google to release a music service as I have used Zune/Xbox Music when I had my windows phone and excited I can get the same service for cheaper on my Android now.
I was very excited about All Access after hearing about it this morning. I signed up for the trial but not sure if I will keep it. The biggest drawback for me is not being able to save an offline library on my phone. It looks like the phone has to be connected Internet and able to stream while playing. This is not practical because most people has capped data plans and not to mention we can't get reliable service everywhere. So anytime you are out of 3g area you won't be able to listen anything. I also have had Spotify since the launch and being able to keep offline list on three devices have been very nice. I hope to see a similar option on Google music otherwise I will stick to Spotify.

i use spotify on my phone and have always saved for offline. I want to switch to play music because i hate the spotify app and the lack of being able to sort by artist. i have remade most of my spotify playlists in play music and want to save for offline, but for some reason the download process is taking really long and keeps failing even though i am on wifi. its really annoying is anyone else having this problem?
edit: has been trying to download a single song for over an hour, really annoying because everything else is great besides this. i am going to try reinstalling to see if that helps
I think it gives the option to download for just one song (each song or album separate, not the entire library nor the list). Just to be clear, you guys are talking about the option that says 'keep on device'?

Ok, I haven't made a list yet but will try in few. Although one more thing that I wonder, if I have the song or the list on my device, does it still communicate with Google play music? I am just curious if I can listen in two devices at the same time from a downloaded list? I know it doesn't work while streaming. On Spotify I can just turn the offline MODE on and be able to listen in two devices independently. (good way to share the cost of the monthly fee, if you have a family in same household)

ive listened on both my computer and phone at the same time playing different songs and it works fine. i know when i did that with spotify it would stop the stream immediately unless you were offline but this is much easier
edit: nope, after about a minute it stops the stream. but it works great for a minute!
Ok.. the only thing I cant figure out.
Let's say I add an album to my library... How do I go about removing it via the app? I see every option but that

Thanks for the quick replies! I tried streaming from both computer and my phone earlier and it kicked me out from one multiple times. This doesn't happen right away but it happens after a minute or so. That's why I was wondering if having the song on the device could eliminate this problem.

I did have this issue. I needed to unplug my chromecast to get it to work, then it went fine.
I do hope Google adds that capability. I use Google music through the web quite a bit at home.
Soon?
When this loading the google music website icon appears but when finishes loading disappears ... it will be implemented soon?
This would be a good addition but just using the Chromecast Extension works perfectly fine. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd

I'll second PowerAmp as far as good players with good DSP settings go. My headphone jack is jacked up and doesn't work so I've not used DSP Manager since CM10.0.
On my Defy I use both PowerAmp and DSP Manager at the same time. Double EQ + Slight Compression is ear heaven...depending on genera/song/artist/headphone/car that is.... I just use the MusicFX switch in PA to disable dsp manager if the bass is too much from compression or the 2nd eq....or I'm in the truck.
Can you suggest me a good music app? I've troed some, but nothing to get used to. If you will offer me poweramp, offer me with good link, cause I tried many

Not sure why your having so many problems with the Walkman Player. Have you tried clearing the data?

I fix album art with a mp3 editor app. Are you looking for a pirated copy of PowerAMP? Its worth the price.

I used to use Google Music as my primary player but I am in love with the walkman player. I used to use GMusicFS to mount those songs in Walkman but eventually found it easier to just keep my favorite albums on my phone as even with that I had skips in my music. I do keep it installed though in case I want to listen to anything else. At about 18,000 songs so far, I love that service.
