Answer 1

You can simply use Songig MusicPlayer library for android. Songig handle all your music playlist and let you to manage your list with many callbacks. you can bind many ui to songig for change them when needed. for example you can bind 2 seekbars to songig and songig will change progress of them in every update.

Answer 2

To get the details of selected song, you can get by the adapter in the method onItemClick() like this:

@Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                "" + mAdapter.getItem(position), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

Add Event Listener to ListView:

mWordListLV.setOnItemClickListener(this);
