How to Set Default Media Player

---

Hi All.
I have put winamp on my Aria, and now if I try to use the Bluetooth media button it asks if I want to use winamp or the defult player.
Unlike a normal dialogue for this it doesn’t have a make default option.
Does anyone know how I can make winamp my default player?

What do you see under the question? Is there a yes/no option?

It could be because you're launching the player through a strange concept.

Try SEARCH > name of random music file.

Should probably work.

EDIT: Meant to say context instead of concept. Damn you autocorrect.

Thank for the replies.
Nope there is no box to allow you to set the default, and yep I have tried to just open a music file to see if it is the same dialogue, and it is.

One solution I can think of is Tasker. It can automate the process for you. Its not free, but its worth it. They have a trial on their website. Its fully functional but is only good for a few days...enough for you test it out.

Hi CMA, I am actually running Tasker which is the key reason I want the functionality (The symptoms are the same as with the headset button)
So for example I have this code which Pauses and attempts to un-pause the music, and it brings up the dialog
Any thoughts on how to get tasker to help?

Are you on a stock or custom ROM?
I use a different media player (not stock) on CM7 with BT all the time. I just delete the stock "music.apk" file from the "system/app" folder and then install one of my own choice.

Hey Charley
I am using the Stock International ROM (Not the AT&T One) So rooting and removing the package is your recommendation?

Well, rooting does open up a lot of flexibility and possibilities, not to mention getting rid of the ATT bloatware....
