Music control via GC Mobile app doesn't work with Winamp

Apologies if this has been covered here, but after a quick look I can't see anything relevant.

Over on the Fenix 3 threads, there has been discussion about how the music control widget does not work with some (?most) of the listed music players under "Settings / Default Music App". This issue appears related to the GC app rather than the actual Garmin device.

Personally, I have only tested with Winamp... volume up/down works well, play/pause works sometimes and forward/back do not work at all as intended. Others seem to have found the same behaviour with other non-default music players despite changing the setting in the GC app to match the player they are using.

Is this a known issue? Can we expect a fix?
  • Yes. It's a known issue that has been posted in the forum for months.
    As far as I know, Garmin hasn't committed to do anything about it.

    They should remove unsupported players from the list then. It's misleading if people purchase a compatible device with the expectation it will work.
