Music Controls is an all-in-one music controller for your phone, giving you the ability to control many popular music applications from a myriad of controls, including Bluetooth Headset, Wired Headset, Lockscreen Swipe, Statusbar, and Popup controls.

    I get this error when I try to Start Trial: “Error: Invalid system time – could not authenticate”

    I’m from Canary Islands (Spain)

    Your time is off. Fixing it should let Music Controls work.

    I’ve had music controls since it was pandora controls, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about this true enhancement to iPhone. This happnes to be on my top 5 list, for reasons to jailbreak. Thanks Paul

  4. Paul Says:

    Just installed the trial and am not getting any AVRCP functionality. Tried a reboot but still no ability to skip tracks forward or back. Also the play/pause functionality is intermittent.

  5. phoenix3200 Says:

    Whoops. It looks like I partially messed this up with the trial version. I’ll be submitting an update for this issue ASAP.

  6. Vorb Says:

    Does it work with dtunes?

  7. Neil Says:

    phoenix3200…. Can you post here when the trial version is fixed? I want to give it a go but would just need it for the AVRCP functions.
    Thanks :)

  8. Rogerinnyc Says:

    Glad to hear you’re fixing the AVRCP for the trial version. I had the same experience, running 3.1.12. Installed and rebooted, but no song skipping functionality with bluetooth phones (I tested 3 pairs).
    If you get this right, however, it’s definitely worth the $$ and I’ll be among the first to buy.
    Thanks.

  9. Rogerinnyc Says:

    Phoneix, taking you at your word that this is a problem with the trial version, I put down my $4.99 and purchased.

    I’m delighted to report that I now have AVRCP functionality!! Hooray and thanks. And where was this in Apple’s 4.0 preview? Remarkable.

  10. Paul Says:

    I took the developer at his word and registered the app, and presto, full AVRCP functionality! Steve Jobs was sure making a deal of all these new features that we all have already… great app, has worked flawlessly for me.

  11. ZedSefi Says:

    Should be: Yes :)

    I am quite confident that even if iPhone OS 4 will limit the functionality of Music Controls by providing Multi-tasking and lockscreen controls; there is still a need for Music Controls to continue because:

    1- 3G, 2G and old iPod users will not have Apple’s Multi-Tasking.

    2- OS 4 doesn’t look like it brings the cover art on the lockscreen like Music Controls does.

    3- Multi-Tasking will be limited, which means developers of music streaming apps need to use new APIs to take advantage of it, and until they all become compatible I think MC can constantly be updated to support the apps which are not multitasking, and remove the Apps that become fully multitasked, lockscreen controlled & cover art displayed. Users can still disable the apps they do not want MC to be interfacing with in settings.

    4- MC can come with two editions, one for OS 3.x & below (the current one) and new edition for OS 4.x (users do not need to buy additional license, only one is required).

    5- There will be always a place for creation and innovation, new ideas to be implemented in Music Controls which Apple have not thought about yet, example: I always wanted to see a fully featured popup with mini cover art when I double tap the home button to bring Music Controls along with track information and everything instead of the current simple popup. I know the new Multi-Tasking is going to use the same double home button tapping as well, but I believe this can be customized later to any pressing/gestures we want to use in settings (or Activator maybe?).

    Finally, I would like to thank Paul for my jailbreak number one tweaks app on Cydia ;)

    As of April 14, still no AVRCP support in the trial version. Unlike others, I will be wait until the trial is fixed before I decide whether to register.

  17. ghost Says:

    is it now possible to adjust the volume directly with the iphone buttons on the side while using stereo bluetooth earphones? because my hbh-is800 doestn have build in volume controls and are at max vol all the time. i already tried the trail version back in the days and cannot try the new version because the 5 days of the trial version are already over.
    thx in advance

  18. phoenix3200 Says:

    Are you SURE you have v1.2.0-2 installed, and started your trial period?

  19. ghost Says:

    anyone?
    As i said my earphones don’t have local volume controls and the iPhone’s volume slider doesn’t appear to work when routing audio to a BT stereo headset.
    can someone please try if it´s now possible with music controls to adjust the volume?

  23. Edith Says:

    Hi
    Good application, but one thing is not working
    If I have Spotify on , I can not shut it down via the Backgrounder.
    Is it in Musiccontrol or have I missed any setting?

  24. Ed Says:

    Hi, will all the functions work on the iPad too?

  25. Petri Says:

    Hi.

    I can’t get the darn trial to activate.
    When I press it the button turns blue and then hangs my settings screen to that state until my gayphone gets fed up with it and exits the menu.

    So no way for me to test if my buttons work on the bt. :(

    I use OS 3.1.2
    When I reboot my phone I get a message about checking compability and then I get told that I have no internet access which I have. :/

    Hi ! Just downloaded the fine app Music Controls, Version 1.3 , but I have issue, when I answer a incoming call, then hang up, the sound is on iPhone speakers not on my headset, Do I have wrong setup, or is it a small bug.
    (iPhone 3gs 32 3.1.3 , Plantronics Pulsar 260.)

    Regads …
    /S

  27. Stefan Carlsson Says:

    Forgot one thing, The sound is VERY distorted compared to the original control.

  28. Cécé22 Says:

    Hi !

    Got a problem with trial version. I launch Spotify, play music, but then try to skip back to sringboard and then music stop.
    Is it in Musiccontrol or have I missed any setting?

    PS: i use OS 3.1.3

    Thx

  29. Simon Says:

    Is this compatible with the latest version of Spotify yet? I miss Music Controls. The new Spotify is so much better, please add support.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Really need an updated version of Music controls that works on ipod touch OS 4.3.5. I was up all night trying to downgrade to 4.3.3. Got it working, including music controls. Tried it in my car and I could use the steering-wheel-buttons to skip through songs in Spotify. I was in heaven.. until the ipod went to sleep, and never wakened again.. Found out that I simply can’t downgrade, so now my only hope is that you soon release an update of Music controls that will work on 4.3.5. If it works I will definetely buy it, and recommend it to all my freinds!

    Thanks :-)

    i’m using a nokia BH_601 headphones, Bluetooth 1.2 AVRCP 1.0 and when i paired this ones with my iphone 3Gs, everything works but the forward backward buttons only work for the six first tracks, when i am going to use one of this buttons it does nothing. i have to power off the headphones and paired again and it works for another six tracks.. i have a sony headphones and with this set it works perfectly. i guess is because those works with bluetooth 2.1.

    is ther some way to fix this and make it work with a 1.2 bluetooth device?

    thanks in advance
