About DashClock Music Extension
Shows the currently playing track, album, and artist on the DashClock Widget
NOTE: DashClock does not allow me to add buttons to the listing, so until support for that is added I will not be able to add play controls. Go to the settings to set what music player opens when you press the dashclock entry. Your player cannot be autodetected so it must be manually configured.
Works with most music players. If your player does not work, try the suggestions below. If it still doesnt work then your player is not compatible because it does not broadcast out what its playing.
Android 4.4+: Enable the Notification Listener setting to support any player that also supports the android lockscreen music controls.
Android 4.3 and earlier: If your player has last.fm scrobbling support, enable that. If not, look for a setting to broadcast metadata and enable that.

What's Changed
2.3:
-Fixed exception on android 5.1+
Note: If the notification listener is not working, you might have to remove and readd the extension from being displayed in dashclock in order to start getting updates.
Also if you are running 4.3 do not enable the notification listener. It only works on 4.4 and higher but google does not provide a way to hide it in 4.3

I thought Spotify didn't work, but it turns out if you choose "Dream Now" to get a preview of the dream, it won't show up at first, but after the track changes the first time it works.

Works great with Sonos but would be nice to be able to have a placeholder type for showing the filename (possibly without the file extension) as well as ID3 tag info which is already supported

Contrary to what other reviews say, Spotify works fine. However, one must make sure that "Device Broadcast Status" is enabled in the preferences.

It works as a music player shortcut. The idea of a widget is to add functionality without entering the app. Add music controls to improve the experience. Thanks!

This works as expected. I use it with Spotify and it works just fine. I especially like the lock screen art, looks real good. Controls work too. I think a lot of negative reviews are due to the lack of understanding of how the extension works. It also works with the cloud player (for SoundCloud).

Works great, but would be nice if it would launch to the app the song is coming from, kind of frustrating this doesn't seem to be supported. ie, make the shortcut be Poweramp or Spotify or Pandora depending.

It never updates the song playing even after deactivating and activating services on system settings. Pitty, it used to work very well 3 weeks ago.

In order to get this to with properly with gone mad's lock screen widget turned off, you have to turn off the Dash Clock Music Listener and turn on Gone Mad's meta data broadcast setting. Then things should work!
