So I was annoyed for days because the droid default music player was automatically popping up or playing instead of PowerAmp in my case. I could not find a exact answer online so with some determination I figured it out my self and hope this will help out someone else.
1st you want to go to your settings- click applications- manage applications
Click the All applications list, now go to every music player in your app list including your default one make sure the play by default button is not checked, if it is checked clear it. Then be sure that your force quit them all.
2nd now setting default player is not in the settings which is why its so annoying to figure out. Your phone comes with a folder called "Files" open that folder and find a music file and when you try to play it from there a choose player window will pop up. Now BEFORE You choose the player you want as your default click the checkbox first will have green checkmark. Then choose what player u want as your default from the list and its set.
To verify go back to settings click applications- manage applications- all applications scroll to the music player u set as default and the box at the bottom should now be checked as your default music player.
Hope that helped, I am using a droid 2 but should work for all droids. If you downloaded file manager you can open that instead of files folder but same directions.
