You can only do this using the smart connect/ smartkey app...

Just double click the headset button

Alternatively, if you can't get it working using smart connect/double clicking, look at something like Jays Headset Control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol

You could also try PowerAmp, it got a build in Headset Service and is my favorite music player.

[Q] not mapping vol button to ringer

Hi,
Do you think it's possible to map the vol+/- button to media volume instead of ringer volume when you're on home screen?
thank you
It should automatically switch to media volume when media is playing. What exactly are you trying to do?

Somtimes i want to lower the media volume before starting a game.. wish just using buttons could do it!
It can be a pain...
I use Audio Manager. It's an app, not hardware, but it works...

Another option: I use Volumer++. You can have it live right in the status bar. Volume keys are remapped to MENU and BACK.
Not the answer to your question, but this app is very cool, and you can select the volumes to control. I find it much easier to manage volumes than using Volumer or Audio Manager.

I forgot that audiomnager exist, i will give it a try.
Thank
I too am interested if anyone has found a solution to this. I have no need for my Nook's volume keys to do anything with ringer volume. I would love to be able to remap these for media volume exclusively.

Switch tracks with longpress volume buttons?

I know this feature exists with CM, but is there any way to get it with other Roms?
I'm currently running GR-10, would love the ability to swtich tracks with the volume buttons...it'd be hella helpful while driving.
Yeah I listen to music on my cappy all the time & that was one of my favorite features of cm7. Makes me miss my iPhone lol

Yes playerpro does but the issue was that it would turn the screen on if you tried and then yuo have to long press again .. I would like to do it with the screen off, saving more battery life since the screen isnt being turned on

I just use a headset with an inline mic button that I can press(play/pause), double-press(next track), tripple-press(prev track)

Dont have that option in the car on my dock! I wish I can use my steering wheel buttons to switch tracks. Now that would be sweet

[Q]music app where we can switch music( in earphone with volume button )?

hi everyone ..is there a way to switch music using note earphone while playing music??? if yes plz hlp ..if no plzz create it
search for android headset button reassign or something similar. there are apps in the market you can assign different actions for different buttons and clicks (like double or tripple) with.
There's a free Klipsch app on the market to go with their S4A earphones, however the app seems to work other one button headsets as well.
I'm assuming by switch music, you mean skip tracks. If so, you actually can: it's double click of the play/pause button but your timing has to be dead on (a slow full press then an additional click) which is not ideal but easy to get used to once you discover it. You can adjust the timing and functionality using this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset&hl=en

I'm not sure if he's asking about changing music with the headset controller or the note's volume button (when the headset doesn't have a controller).
Is there an app for the 2nd option?

music remote control app?

I use my I pod for music mainly cause of the physical buttons that allow me to track skip whilst the device is in my pocket tho am interested to see if this would be possible with the note by using the remote control, like is there an app that would make the music player recognise a double click on the volume remote in the included headphones as a skip, or is there a non blue tooth remote available that would do this, I haven't found any

Poweramp does that. You can configure in the settings how the app responds to the headset buttons, e.g. double press or tripple press to skip to the next track.

[Q] Use the headphone controls to change tracks?

My old (HTC) phone used the controls on the headphone cable to move between tracks, instead of change volume.
I have to admit I prefer things that way - so would like to know if there's any way to change the behaviour on my Mini.
Any suggestions (apps, mods to flash, etc) appreciated

Tried holding the buttons?
I had those also on my previous phone (Motorola) and it worked by long pressing those buttons.

Take a look at my thread here, there's a "press volume keys to skip tracks mod" and there's a chance it could also work with your headphones control http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39282702#post39282702
