Amazing new music player for Droid!

Damn, never noticed that before. THANKS!
bTunes sounds good but...
Is there a music player that uses the volume rockers when screen is locked?
Don't really like to fish out the Droid, look down at the screen (especially in sunlight) and try to hit the right buttons.
Love my Blackberry...Long press the volume rocker will choose next track or last track..

Until there is a way to use the answer button on headphones for start/stop/skip/rewind this is all silliness to me. I wanted to use my phone for a workout but the Droid seems to automatically start the stock player using the stock player even when it's not running. Considering it has no preferences and I don't think can be uninstalled...
you can uninstall the stock player if you are rooted.

This thing needs to stop analyzing my files each time its opened. Very annoying. And while in use, if I pull it down from the notification bar, ups like it to go to the Now Playing screen automatically, like the stock player. Plus it doesn't seem to play nice with the Droid's native auto task killer. I've had it close while browsing the internet.
Otherwise, decent start. I like the idea of album art on the widget as a new option.

I think it does, but not locked. It'd be nice on a rooted phone to be able to use while the screen is off. The volume should be for volume, but a long hold to change or the camera button to play the next is nice, but only usefull if the screen is off.
This is kind of necessary to build your music library. I suppose there could be an option to allow it as-is, or if you uncheck the option it is set to manual so you must refresh by hitting a button in the settings. It is really fast, though, and only happens when you start the program. For the VERY minor inconvenience it poses; it brings a necessary function to the table.

Thanks Rec, I assumed that since the music would still play that it was still running when I hit the back button to escape. But hitting the home button now works just fine.
And I get that its needed to build my music library, but not every time I close it. An option would be nice.
Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks... unfortunately I don't care to root my phone. I just want a music player to work with the standard headphone/set butons like every other phone without the stock music player piping in. It's absolutely insane that Motorola didn't even think of including a single preference in the stock music player or ability to uninstall shiitake that shouldn't be in there.
Volume Rockers on Screen Lock
So I got the bTunes, and when screen is locked, there is a widget for forward/back, but volume rockers only control volume not forward/back with long press.

I tried mixzing and from the write ups don't want to bother with btune. My phone is running Smoked Glass 6.0 with the new music player 3 and it is great. Fast, cover art and all the good stuff. The volume control works while the phone is locked and the screen is off.
For all those who are afraid of "rooting" it is worth it. Faster better and very stable.

I sent this question to rec08.......but maybe others on the board know the answer.
I download music from imusic and music junk.
The songs I download from there won't go to btunes as it
does to my stock music app automatically.
Does anyone know how to sync music from apps like those to btunes?
