About Headphones Helper
Do you always open your music player when you plug in your headphones?
Headphones Helper will automatically adjust your device's volume, and open your music player as soon as you plug in your headphones, or connect your Bluetooth headset. Headphones Helper will also allow you to skip the current track in your music player by simply shaking your device from left to right.
Unlike other apps on the market, we have found a way to route media controls to the specified app on phones running Android 4.0+
Currently the app is set to be able to open the following music players:
Pandora
TuneIn Radio
Google Play Music
Slacker Radio
iHeart Radio
Samsung Galaxy S built in Media Player
Winamp
If you have an app that is not on the list, you can choose a custom app as well.
If you have any requests for features you can email me.
Download the pro version for the following added features:
Ads removed.
Ability to choose a separate App to open when on WiFi connection.
Custom list of apps on the launcher screen, to allow you to choose a different app depending on what you're doing.

This is exactly what I am looking for. One thing I would like to see is an option to select what Bluetooth device makes the selected app launch.

Appears to do exactly what it says it will do. It 's the first headphone plugin that I have installed that will open and start playing Mediamonkey.
