I am looking for a smartphone that is a music player at the same time, I want the device to have physical buttons for play/stop next/previous song. I can find android devices that are music players with physical buttons but are not smartphones.

I would prefer it to be on the device but if that is not possible then I would look into Bluetooth media buttons. Though your link is not working for me.

Maybe a case with additional buttons?

Found that from googling. No idea how good/useful it is.

I have edited it, it should work now.

You could remap some of the extra buttons that some phones have, but that probably wouldn't be enough buttons for you.

Thank you. I have tried that using the volume button to change songs but it was buggy sometimes it worked sometimes not.
