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.
Love the phone, However I am going crazy after loading my mp3s. About 2 gigs worth. They all freeze about 12 seconds into playing. However if I dig deep with windows media player into files they play fine. Is there an update ?
Thanks
give this a read, Usually connected to a bad file somewhere, or a track (tracks) with odd tags, or v1 tags, or all tracks in one folder
There are several threads, not just the one below that i listed to get you started.

EDIT - also worth letting your phone run through updating all teh album art and what not without disturbing it. connect to wifi, start teh update and leave it till its finished.
EDIT EDIT - heres another thread, same symptoms

still no luck.I did check mp3s, removed album art and any files in folders not music. Let it download album art. Still freezes after a few seconds. this sucks
I'm guessing there is a song with a name that uses a character which is unknown and even if that's not it, then it's still likely it's just one or two files that are causing the problem. You can go through your songs and see if you see any weird (foreign) characters or boxes and if so get rid of them.
The other way:
Move half your songs over to the device, if problem occurs than there is an issue with a file there. Remove second half of what you moved to the card (aka, you should only have first quarter of the songs on your card). Check if error persists, if so continue in said matter. If no error occurred with your first total half of music, add half of the remaining songs (for a total of 3/4 of your music). Continue in that manner until you find the file or files that are causing issues.
Depending on your amount of music this might take a couple minutes, but buy doing half the remaining songs at once, you're going as quickly as possible.
Hope you find the problematic file/files.
Good luck
same ANNOYING problem, on many roms even on my TP2 with leo roms.... freezes and in artist section shows no artist but in all files they are all there. freezes sense whole most times... really annoying. i have 5 gigs of music and im not going through them all so sense music player is happy. i have to use sub par Win media...
Thanks for the help. This is total crap! I thought I had it licked as I deleted all music and playlist from SD card. Then used Media Monday to load about 2gigs of MP3s. checking after each one. The H2 downloaded artwork and was working! Or I thought. I added one more CD and wammo there it was freezing again. So I thought it was that one cd. Deleted it and still freeZing. So I then loaded just that cd after formating again. The CD worked fine on its own. So I then deleted it and loaded everthing again with media monkey. Everything worked.
So I then copied a avi movie to its own folder on SD card. Went to play music and WFT its freezing again. Deleted avi but still freezing. Too late tonight to format and load 2 gigs again. Plus this is crap. Now I have to delte and load everytime I want to put more mp3s on card>?
Plus if I put any video file or any other file it seems to throw it into freezing again. This player is too temprementel. Too many of us having issues with the player. They need to upgrade it to work properly.
Had that problem yesterday after I loaded music several times after finding duplicates (I hate it when I have duplicate songs), so the stock media player kept freezing and not finding all the songs. so I opened Total Commander and went to
\Aplication Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
and deleted the AudioManager_Eng.vol file there and rebooted, and then went back to the music tab and within a few minutes all my media was loaded, and my freezing problems went away...
I tried deleteing the HTC eng file you mentioned. Soft reboot and then when I go to Music player it searches and still plays a few seconds and white circle spins and then freezes. These MP3s worked and now dont. Just can not figure this out. No duplicate files, No long names. Loaded with mediamonkey. I did not convert to all 192 as I can not find auto convert freature in media monkey gold
I am having the same problem. I downloaded some music and the music player worked fine. then i downloaded some more music and tried to use the player it it freezes my phone and i have to do a battery pull to get back working. I have deleted all my music thinking there was a bad file and even that didn't work. this phone is garbage....i should of stuck with my BlackBerry or got an iPhone....this phone may have a place on Craigslist soon if it doesn't start working right
i'm new to this site & the hd2. i'm having so many issues with some songs "buffering". it didn't start till today & i've had the phone for 2 days now on the 3rd some songs just don't want to work. i haven't downloaded anything new so i'm not sure why this is happening. i was told that there's a free media player that's better then the stock. does anyone have any suggestions on what it may be or where to download a new media player?

Hey circles, welcome
The issue with the stock music player and freezing etc is well known, you'll find at least 6-7 other threads besides this one on the same subject.
There's different things you can try to get around the issue, but none of them work in all cases for everybody, so often the easiest thing to do is just use an aftermarket player to sidestep the issue (which has to do with the HTC player built-in to your interface). One of the most common free alternatives is TCPMP...the newest official versions are paid software now, but there's still previous versions available here, the link below has one of the latest builds:

Music player: "sorry, audio player does not support this type of file," camera prob
so I have a GB 2.3.4 Atrix 4G, and usually, it plays my music and takes pictures fine. But every so often (it seems everyday), I wind up rebooting after, when trying to player music, it says "sorry, this type of file is not supported," even tho I've been playing them all the time. Also, when this happens, the camera and camcorder also happen to stop working, saying "com.camera.android (or blur)" unexpectedly closed. All my songs are MP3 or MPEG4, and usually all play.
Why is this happening on an update? What can be done to prevent it? Are there apps I need to keep off the "auto-end list?" Does rooting a phone bring this on (via pre-install method)? Or is this a common glitch? I have also complained about the way the music player doesn't have an "all songs" option for the player. Personally, I think a blur 5.0 needs to come out already.
Whoops, I've run into this problem several times, too.
Click on the Next or Previous button on the music widget may sometimes help the audio playback issue, but I'm not sure if it fixes the camera.
Everytime, i want to listen to music on my Defy, it (ofc not the defy :cyclops disappeared...
Well let me begin from the start:
I'm on CMX using Poweramp as Music Player. I love it, it has always been great, but since some time i got a problem.
I dont know if its somehow Rom related or Player related, so i open a new thread, please dont kill me
I searched "[SUPPORT] Quarx's CM10 PROBLEMS reporting thread" and haven't found reports about it, so i tell you:
When I open Poweramp, it shows me some random sfx from some game i have on my Defy. Thats not the problem for me, the problem is, that when i open the library, some folders are shown, while more than the half of the folders are not shown...
Well everytime this happens to me, i have to re-read sdcard, which takes up to 5 minutes, then my music is there...
But thats not the only thing, music is also disappearing, while listening to it... it just stops, and plays this game sfx...
I dont know what to do anymore, thought it might be a problem with the sdcard speedfix, implemented in SetVSel, disabled it, but didnt change anything.
So long story short, anyone knows how to fix it or a workaround?

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"?
