Getting music controls in lockscreen

[mordyb]

My gs3 is not rooted and I am happy with the stock rom but one thing I miss on my old rooted phone (mytouch 4g on miui) was the lockdown music controls. I was able to double tap the time and the music controls would come up in the lockscreen even when music wasn't playing which I thought was a great feature. Is there any way I can get that on my gs3?

PowerAmp has very robust lock screen controls.

I've used widget locker to put some of my music player widgets on my lock screen.

Right but then you have to use that lockscreen. Do either of these have access to the music controls even while the music isn't playing?

I noticed last night when using Google Play Music - the controls were on the lock screen, but not the Swipe to unlock the screen they only appear on the lock screen with the number pad.
