Hi there!
I've a huge problem with the music player on the hd2. It stops after EVERY song. I alsways have to turn on the phone and manually hit play or next to play the next sond. That's quite annoying!
It doesn't matter if I select an album, a playlist or whatver. Even if I turn on repeat-mode, the sond is only played once.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
I noticed the same thing, and I already updated to 1.48...
There's a partial solution anyway: if you don't press the power off button to activate the stand by mode, but instead if you let stand by mode to activate by itself, it works correctly.

I've had the same thing happen when I let standby mode activate itself, also have an issue where the MP3s stutter, small 1 second breaks in the music.
Few people use the embedded mp3 player coz it's bad and very slow, especially when you have a massive library.
You should try another player: Kinoma (freeplay is free), CorePlayer, Nitrogen (free), etc...
err, starting an extra application for that doesn't sound very attractive to me. Actually I like the fact that this is integrated into sense.
Regarding the speed: I've ~10 GB of music. The HTC player handles them very well
After i read this, i tested it on my device.
The first time the player stopes after the first track,
but if you press play again and you come to the end, then it switch to the next track without a problem and play it.
regards
I have the repeat button on and it doesnt' stop!! And the built in mp3 player is better than WMP because it actually shows chinese characters properly for me... And the interface looks nice...
I noticed the music player in htc sense only looks at the music folder on the storage card, is there any way to add more folders of music or must I insert all my music there and it will automatically be "synced" every time a new song/folder of songs is added?
On mine, the HTC music player looks for all audio files on both the storage card and the phone itself (anywhere in 'My Documents'). It even picks up ring tones I've added and the 'sample' music on the phone. So, I'm not sure if this is a setting of some kind, but mine seems to do what you want, and your's seems to do what I want.
same as you
I have the exactly same problem my friend nd it's irritating. For now, the only solution I have is the use of bluethoot earphones where I can skip the music on it, but as soon as I put classic earphones it does the same problem. I'm gonna try another player I think. it's a pity because HTC player is starting to become gorgeous
track order
Has anyone noticed track order problems. I've started a thread on this. It's really doing my head in.
Same track order problem here. Posted it to HTC-support, they have no solution. Every other player doesn't have this problem.
I've got a few problems with the music tab wich I think is very anoying. I hope anyone knows a sollution for this.
First of all, Does anyone know if there's a way to get the alphabetic numbers on the music library? Scrolling all the way down takes me al lot of time since I've got around 1000 songs.
My second problem, is there a fix for the shuffle butten in the music tab. Even when shuffle is on I still get at least 3 songs in alphabetic order every time I start my music tab. Also when I'm choosing a new song I always have to press the shuffle 2 times to let it work properly.
My last problem, I've got this game Flight Commander, wich is a great game. But it has some anoying sounds(.wav files) wich show up in my library. How can I let my music tab ignore these sounds without deleting them?
Ow and I also have this problem of my headphones. Do your devices also work slower if you put in your headphones?
Thanks, Sorry for my English, It's not perfect.
Try Nitrogen? It's superior to MW and music tab in every way.

Thanks for the reply and sollution, but I actually do like the music tab very much I think it looks very nice and I use it every day. So I was hoping for a sollution without changing my music player. But I will still keep it in mind. Thanks
I'm facing the same issues as well, as I use the default Music player to play all my song files instead of creating individual playlist. I tend to notice that the shuffle function tends to play a few 'favorite' songs of it's choice. Either that or the shuffle function stops working unless I reactive it back
I think the bug is triggered by having too much songs on your current playlists (mine being 6-7gb)
same here shuffle starts with couple of the same songs every time.
then letter repeat thingy.
I would really like to replace the music tab with someone else.
I wish applications inside tabs can be replaced easily!
So I guess there's still no solution for this?
Workaround
I have the same problem. I'm sick to death of hearing songs that start with 'A' - have forgotten all my songs that start from C onwards unless I drive to China. Only workaround I've found is go to library>all songs (rather than playlist) and pick a song, music player will restart and shuffle the full alphabet. I've also put a bug report into HTC on this maybe more of you could do the same.
Yes everything you listed as an issue has been started in two other threads, quite a few of us are waiting for a solution as I personally like the Sense music type, it's aesthetically pleasing and does what I want it to do.
Regarding the scrollbar the going consensus is that it can't just be made or migrated from another app like the contacts function. Something like that may have to come from HTC.
The shuffle button does this for me too, no matter what song I start the shuffle from it plays the same rotation of songs in the first ten I skip to. Then I notice an actual variety, also I find that after a soft reset it sometimes forgets that the shuffle is on and I have to turn it off and on again to get a shuffle.
There is no way to make the music player only look at certain folders, you can do it with the pictures tab by adding the unwanted folders as .reg entries but the music tab looks at all sounds.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but these fixes will more than likely have to come from HTC, they bill this phone as an entertainment phone (at least TMOUS version) and they include a great looking music player but dont assume that people will actually use it to play their large music lirbraries.
Playing all my sounds and the issue with shuffle are minor inconveniences to me, my biggest wish is a scrollbar.
*Edit, another issue I just remembered, when you are on a song and hit the library button it places you at the beginning, why can't it place you at the currently playing song. If I'm listening to a song starting with T and want to skip to a W I have to scroll from the beginning, utter nonsense
Oh well hopefully HTC gets with the program as I have not found a 3rd party music player that I like as much as the Sense player.
im having the problem where the song "blacks out" for a few seconds a couple times during songs where there is just no sound but the music is still going. also just got an issue where if i turn the screen off while headphones are plugged in it pauses the music. used to work so well...
Hey everyone.
iv been scouring the web for the answer for this and it doesnt seem to be a problem anywhere else or for anyone else!
basically, if i press the play/pause/answer call button on the supplied headphones remote control windows media player automatically starts, even if i already have nitrogen or any other media player running. is there any other way of stopping this? or getting rid of WMP all together? or failing either of those, changing the default button auto start application to, say, nitrogen?
have looked for reg fixes/app/tweaks anything and still no go.
anyone know anything that will help/stop this behaviour?
Thanks in advance.
No-one else is having this problem or wants to change this irritating feature??
You can solve this problem with Conduit Pocket Player.
I don't know what Samsung have been thinking about - but the standard media widget is gone.
Anyone found a decent replacemnet ?
Poweramp ofcourse...
not looking for another player . I guess media buttons on BT, madia info over BT and just a simple "press play/pause" to start on BT or cable to start playing will be broken, (or routed to other player).
or - is the player your default player and handles everything right away ?

I would post this in Q&A, where it belongs
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding Google Play Music on my Note 4 (SM-N910F Snapdragon, stock and no root—yet, full build no. KTU84P.N910FXXU1ANK4), it has a weird problem playing music (plus one more thing I'll mention later on).
Basic info:
All of my songs are placed on my LEXAR microSDHC 32GB Class 10 633x UHS-1 card. The reason why they're not on internal SD is simple, I need a place where I can write data, and since unrooted KitKat is totally stupid in this area, I don't see it changing anytime soon
Format is m4a AAC LC, VBR Preset 5 (Typical bitrate 192kbps)
I have no Adapt Sound, Equalizer, Effects, nothing... turned on, as I want the raw sound.
It doesn't happen in the Samsung Music app.
Here is my hopefully simple and understandable description of the problem:
When try to I play a locally stored album, I'd play the first track, it plays perfectly fine and then when it goes to the second one, its volume goes down and back up to normal usually around the 1 second mark or so. This also happens when I try to skip to the end of the first song and let it go on to the next one. No matter if the display and app are active or not.
I've tried many songs and it always happens on the second song only. I still have my S2 (GT-i9100) with the same version of GPM and it works just fine.
Anyway, here are a few samples of it happening.
here is a google drive folder with three recordings of the problem + an info pic for the third sample
It's driving me nuts.
And the other thing I mentioned: why can't I see almost none of my album art, unless its embedded in the file itself? (I use folder.jpg in every album folder...) –this applies to both GPM and Samsung Music. Is this because the apps can't write thumbnails onto the SD card?
I can't properly use the stock Samsung Music for various reasons:
it doesn't understand Albumartist, Album Artist and Band tags — which makes choosing an album from an artist with some guests real pain (I'd have to retag my songs to lose the guests from the artist tag I suppose)
it's fullscreen = can't see notification/status bar/time, unless I swipe the top of the screen — any option to see statusbar by default?
no gapless playback... GPM on my N4 is gapless between tracks, but has this gap after a second, so.... not really gapless either!
Thanks in advance for any help in solving this issue.
So, here is a little EDIT: I was, to say it mildly, a little angry, so I started trying different players and noticed that for example Poweramp does the same thing, but instead of changing volume, it loudly clicks in the same place. And other players do it too.
Changed the thread name to reflect that it doesn't affect just Google Play Music, but it's by far the worst of the bunch.
I need someone to just check if they have the same problem—just play the first song, it should be fine, and then skip to the end of it and let it go to the next one on its own, and in my case, you'd hear the volume go down and back up almost instantly, but it's so unpleasant that I have to throw away my headphones every time it happens...
It's most noticeable in something slow or a guitar, not so much in a disco/techno/etc. song as it has a rhythm that could probably mask it.
I also (exclusively) use Poweramp for playing music on my mobiles. I solved the isse you described by going into Settings > Audio > Advanced Tweaks and deactivating the top 3 settings (Dv control, BT direct control, MusicFX).
I had your same issue I've tried all the possible solutions but nothing seemed to solve the problem (actually it was working good with the cyanogenmod 12 alpha but it was too unstable...) but in the end I decided to take it to the assistance and now I am waiting for an unknown spare part that is missing...
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
bibbo81: And what did they tell you? That the problem is hardware related? Don't even try to tell me that I'm gonna have to get it fixed?!
daffie, I'm pretty sure I turned those off, but let me check and get back to you.
Thanks guys for letting me know that I'm not the only one with this issue...
here goes a solution of sorts:
Daffie, like I said, I turned those off first thing, meaning it doesn't fix the issue for me, HOWEVER, switching MusicFX on and off causes it to either click/skip or make the volume down/up thing...... that lead me to an idea: disable the SoundAlive app, and guess what: Google Play Music works perfectly (still missing album art), but Poweramp still clicks or pops (not sure which one is that ) and skips around the one sec mark.
This makes me believe that there's definitely something about the SoundAlive app that's causing the issue. Shame it doesn't fix it for Poweramp, though. (None of the buffer/priorities/etc. tricks works)
THE BOTTOM LINE IS: this makes the issue almost solved in my case, since I don't use SoundAlive at all, and I do like GPM a little bit more, because its "start screen" isn't the player screen itself, but rather the library window and I can go back to it, instead of going out of the app, plus it understands %Albumartist% tags.
But I'd still like to fix this, so that we don't have to disable stuff, that might be useful to someone.
Anyway: Does anybody know how to get GPM (and also Samsung Music) to read album art from "folder.jpg"?
