I remember having that feature with my S2. Tried long and hard looking for it but I can't find it either.

Why can't we do this? There has to be a reason.

The Google Music lock screen controls only seem to work when you have a PIN/security lock

I just said up a pattern lock the other night and Google Music displayed on my lockscreen. I wish it would do the same thing with Swipe to unlock. I wonder if this is the fault of the Google Music app or Samsung...

I think it's because with swipe to unlock, you can still access the notification bar without unlocking it, which shows the Google Music controls. Conversely, if you have the pattern or PIN unlock, you cannot swipe down the notification shade unless you have unlocked the device, so Google Music puts the controls right on the lock screen.
