Music stop playing when in background

Hi, anyone know how to keep the music from stop playing after launching another app. Basically, after it's in the background it will finish a song but will stop and not play the next song. If the music app is in the foreground, it will keep playing continuously. I've tried Meridian and the build-in music app, also tried using album or playlist in both apps. both seems to be behaving the same. Phone is rooted running cyangenmod 4.2.10.1. Thx.

This is a known issue that started with Cyan. 4.2.9.1 and hasn't been solved in the latest version.
btw, you should've posted in Cyanogen's thread.

Quick question. Are you using Advanced Task Manager?

there is an app on the market called "ongoing music adapter". hope that solves your problem.

I am not using Advanced Task Killer. Will give the ongoing music adapter a try. thx everyone

music won't play in background

If I start music up then hit home or back then the task gets killed. I tried a reboot and this sometimes cures the problem, then after a while it comes back.
I also tried killing all processes and this has worked but doesn't every time.
I googled the problem but it only really came up with a thread on this forum for another device. Aldo that user had installed other task managers. My device is only a couple of days old and has just had some apps installed, no hacking or such like.
Any help appreciated.

Hmmm.
I've noticed that the tab comes with 2 apps. Audio Player and Music Player. Music Player works in the background. Audio Player doesn't.
You can also try Winamp. I think that works in the background

Hitting the back button will kill most apps, even those supposed to run in the background. But the music player should run when you hit home. Winamp does run in the background, use it all the time to listen to radio stations.

Thanks guys.
On my UK unbranded sim free Tab I have two music playing apps called "Music Hub" and "Music".
"Music" will in fact run in the background whether you use home or back buttons to leave.
"Music Hub" will not. In fact it will not run unless I have a cellular connection to verify my locale.
Earlier I was sure neither application would run in the background but perhaps I was just tired ?
Anyway...thanks for your attention, now off to research how to remove useless core apps.

Hi guys
I have the same problem, I'm pretty sure that at the beginning music was playing in background when I swiched to another app, now the music stops! I tried different players (winamp, audio player) in my branded "Tim" (italy) tab...
any new ideas or solutions???
Thanks!

I just couldn't sleep so I tried along until I found a solution!
The first time I used my Tab I connected it to my pc using the usb cable, and tranferred the songs as normal files in mass storage device. Everything worked ok and music played in the background..
then I formatted the memory, and today I was testing a new program to send files to my tab without using the usb cable (Wireless File Transfer).
The first problem I noticed was that when I opened "Music" or Winamp the songs weren't recognized, and so I used ES File Explorer to open the directory and launch a song... the second problem was related to the music not playing in background!
The solution is related to the fact that the phone doesn't scan for media when I transfer using wireless... so I downloaded "rescan media" and now everything works GREAT!
I simply launch the application, the phone searches for new files... they are recognized in my music progs and they play in background if I swich app!
I hope this helps!

I have the same Tablet. Have solved the issue. At first I thought I just needed to download Samsung Music. Well that was a start. Don't try and play tracks straight from that app though. Once you have downloaded Samsung Music, then go to the widgets and place Samsung Music on your interface. From there you will be able to listen to music and do other things. My Tablet is called, Galaxy Tab A.

ICS bugs-list here!!

Hey guys!! I didn't see any discussion thread regarding the topic, so decided to create one.
One but that I have noticed is that an image artifact is created when you scroll the recent apps menu.
The second annoying bug that I have experienced and am experiencing currently is that when you have music playing in the background, when the song changes, the equalizer just turns off! You have to go back and turn it on again. I guess the sound fx gets killed automatically?
Anything you guys would like to add?

I never experience this "currently is that when you have music playing in the background, when the song changes, the equalizer just turns off! You have to go back and turn it on again" on all ICS roms i tried(nightly and stable.)

This is the stock update that I am talking about (iml77)

EOS v1.0 here.
Gmail's pop-up windows (when deleting messages, for example), aren't formatted right.

i have a weird problem where the last music played by any player gets restarted by any other player and you just can't switch songs. Only reboot works. Same with music streaming, only that never stops. It doesn't stream but keeps on reconnecting.
Annoying.

Keep it coming guys!!

While multitasking with the browser, the music stutters and stops , not always though,.
When scrolling through home screens, could see minute horizontal white lines on the photo widget.

Combine Box
Well I have one to share.
In stock e-mail I got 2 emails registered. Every time I try to enter Combine box. The program crashes. Force close. But this happens only if the secondary mailbox is empty.

Im actually facing a lot of FC's on the xoom recently while using youtube and music. There is also some lag while browsing through the youtube main window (the cylindrical home)

Multitask?

Does this thing multitask? If I open any browser and play music from a website, then open another tab, the music stops from the first tab with msg "stopping audio player". If I play music from Sirius App and minimize to start browsing, the music stops with msg "stopping audio player". My SII phone works fine, but the tab won't let me play Sirius app and browse at the same time.

Interesting, sounds like an issue with sirius. Of course the tablet should multi task though.

Any music website stops playing when I open another tab. It doesn't matter which browser I use, I've tried them all.

Then use Pandora. Its an app and it never stops playing.

Have you tried a different browser? I don't think that will work but it is worth a shot. Also, I think that browsers were made to work this way (When browsing another page all tasks on the current tab is paused) to keep memory and CPU usage down when browsing.
It makes sense, not sure if that is 100% correct though.

Siriusxm app android "stopping audio player" when minimizing!?!?
I have the same issue, but it is with the siriusxm android app and not a browser, on my samsung galaxy s3. As soon as I minimize, I get the message "stopping audio player". I have ATK but I have siriusxm as an ignore app, so that it is not forced closed. There is no setting on the siriusxm app that allows for any multitasking option. My default android music player can play in the background as I play a game or browse the internet, but the siriusxm app shuts down as I minimize it..... frustrating!
Anyone else having this issue, and what could be the cause and/or solution? Thanks in advance
UPDATE ----
Found the fix in another forum, under Settings - Developer Options - Do not keep activities, just uncheck and restart ----- BOOM it works, yeah!! Thx for the reply necktru!

In my P3110, the application of music stops just open another audio source, whether for web or aplicaccion youtube, I tried to PowerAMP and the Apollo, and all feel the same, and is only for the issue of multiple audio applications

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Remote not Working

First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read/respond to my post. I have an unrooted Note 3.
My issue is when I use my jaybird bluebuds x or monster isport freedom bluetooth headsets with my Note 3 the next track buttons do not work. Well.. let me rephrase that. When I hit the next track button is launches the samsung music app and skips that track.
So the button is being registered but it's not working for the active player. Like if I'm listening to pandora and hit next track then the samsung music app launches and skips that track instead.
Is there any way to force (using tasker or something without rooting) the phone/headset to recognize the current active music player instead of the default samsung player?
Thanks in advance for your help!!

It's more likely the app doesn't recognize headset controls.
I've never had stock music player pop up when using the controls with N7player. But it has a menu for headset controls...

Disable the Samsung player in Settings and try? I usually always keep the default apps all disabled and use PowerAMP for my music, never fails me when I use my BlueBuds X.

How do I disable the samsung player in settings? Are you referring to settings for bluebuds bluetooth, cuz I didn't know you could specify specific aps.
I prefer to stream my music so I don't have to organize my music. That's why I use pandora/slacker and not PowerAMP. Thanks though.

Your phone settings. Manage Apps, All, find your music player, click on it, Disable.
