How do I rewind a song using the music widget on lock screen?

[mikeyboy80]

Apologises for the silly question, Noticed when playing songs on my m8, if I want to rewind, there is no option to do this from the music widget on the lockscreen?

Am I missing a trick here, I can only see a forward button from the lockscreen?

Might be a limitation of the stock player. I can't test myself...I am running an AOSP ROM with the stock player disabled and using a combo of PowerAmp and Google Play.

I see. Would a stock player not have a rewind button?

Possibly. PowerAmp can be set up to restart at the beginning of the track.

Yes, you cannot rewind using the stock Music Player from the Lockscreen, which is very annoying but they must have a reason for it. I use Musixmatch as my main music player.

That a music player app?

Yes, it is. It also automatically retrieves and displays the lyrics of almost any song you play, which is why I downloaded it in the first place.
