This is similar to the previous example, but instead of just launching a menu of music apps, it sets the volume first.
The download example above uses only the default Android Music Player and Pandora, but you could just as easily add Google Listen for podcasts, iheartradio, Meridian, or any other application for that matter.
- click New and select State
- select event category Hardware and event Headset Plugged
Leave the Type set to Any, but if want to specify more granularity you can choose Mic or No Mic depending on your headset type.
- click + in the bottom left to add a setting
- select category Audio and action Media Volume
- Set the volume to what you want as the default when you plug in your headphones and click done
- Click the + in the bottom left and select Perform Task under the menu Tasker
- Enter the name Music Menu
- Click done twice
- Click on Tasks in the bottom right of the main Tasker screen
- Click New and create a task names Music Menu
- click on the icon on the bottom right which looks like a Play button OR the wrench and standard screw driver to change the Task Type
- Select Menu from the Task Type List
- click + in the bottom left to add an action
- select category Misc and action Load App
- select the Music application
- select category Misc and action Load App
- select the Pandora application
- repeat for any of your other favorite Music related applications to add to the menu. For example, I also have Google Listen in this menu for podcasts.
- click Done

Then when you select a song player is stops the default player.
It is configured to use Meridian, Mixzing lite, Pandora, and Music
