Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Complete the Google Music (beta) experience! (Also works with other music players, but your mileage may vary!) Features Pops up the now playing song when it starts playing in Google Music. Choose how long the popup should be on screen for or leave it there for as long as the music is playing. Tap the notification to have it disappear until the next song starts. Turn the screen on when the song changes so you can see the lock screen music info* Keep the screen on while music is playing. Ideal when your Music player is left open in a car dock while driving. This will keep the screen on (dimmed), by default only while charging as it will obviously drain your battery! *If supported by your phone
