Description
Describe the idea
Add widgets to control multimedia / music playback, i.e. to control third party music players. Quite useful when driving or cycling to quickly pause or change track.
Widgets could include: play / pause, next / previous track, current track name, current playback time, current track number (for CDs)
On Android, these should all be fairly simple to get. There are standard APIs for that (e.g. media_session). No clue on iOS.
Expected behaviour
Many apps provide this feature (though sometimes they weirdly ask to "connect" to the players, hello Waze, but I don't see any technical reason to do so!)
Alternatives you've considered
Use buttons on the car (but not practical when not connected on Bluetooth or when being the copilot), use overlay buttons with tasker (but adds complexity), use physical buttons (but sometimes impractical when the phone is attached to some phone holder)
