Hey guys
I've an odd thing happening on my xperia play stock music app. It will suddenly stop mid song, thought maybe it was cause it was in my pocket and I knocked a button somehow. But today was happening while sitting face up on my desk.
Has also happened on my desire s, that had a custom rom so put it down to that. Anyone else experienced this?
Cheers

Damaged file perhaps? Have you tried playing the same song through to completion?
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
It happens to random songs, press play and the song continues. Don't think the songs are damaged. Very odd.

are you running a task killer?
Yes, but it's not automatic. Will remove it and see if it helps.

Nope its still happening, played the same song again and played fine. Very annoying indeed.

Try a diffrent media player, I use PowerAMP and have no problems like this, even when the screen is off
I run rooted stock music player, never had any issues whatsoever.

Wow, really? I had the same issue on my X10 too with the music player just stopping. Even in the foreground it would happen and I'd just unlock my phone and press play. But I've also had 'Listen' on both phones since day one.
I'll try the PowerAMP route first I guess. If that doesn't work I guess I can go the TB route and backup/uninstall unless there's another app for podcasts that anyone would care to recommend.
I had this happen once after restoring everything from a TB backup. I just uninstalled the music player and reinstalled one from market, i used the winamp one.
Use different player

i didnt like the stock music player, seems like it should of been more convenient , winamp is better and they support changing songs on the lock screen.

So far loving the hell out of this thing... I take it everywhere with me. (seriously)
So I loaded up my 16GB micro sd card with about 8GB of music. Transformer reads it and adds everything to my library. I set it up to play in shuffle mode first song plays no problem... second song takes about 2 mins to load. 3rd song takes about 4 mins. I go over and skip a track takes 2 seconds to load. Next song again takes 2 mins to load. I give up and use my droid x to play the music.
posting at close to midnight didn't let me search the forum but similar threads there are none...
It Could Be the Class of SD Card. :x Idk but that sucks. I Copied a few gigs of music onto Internal SD and they play fine So it has to be something with Reading from the SD. hmm..
I take it this happens with the stock music player and with the screen off? It's a bug. A number of others myself included have had this happen and resolved it by using a different music player. I use UberMusic from the same Dev as LauncherPro and am happy to say I haven't had a single problem since making the switch.

Doesn't have too many features yet (still in alpha stage) but it still works very well.

+2, probably caused by Google's music player.
I also found the google music player to be somewhat unresponsive at times when switching tracks. Cant say anything conclusive though, since I didn't use it much. Installed PowerAMP straightaway and never went back (PowerAMP IMO has the best equalizer where the stock player has NONE!! ). Like others have said, it could be an issue with the stock player.
Hello... i seem to be having trouble with my music. When i start playing it through the stock player and leave my phone alone to play some tunes... the phone will stop the music after about 3 minutes of playing. I have juice defender running and i set up the music player to continue running after the screen locks... does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? Thanks for taking the time to help.

Most probably your stock musicplayer is in "auto end list" in task manager app, it autostops the apps in the list at about the time you mentioned. Hope this helps and solves your issue...
I looked at auto end list but it wasnt there. Do you know of any other good music player? I usually use subsonic to connect to my media server at home, it has an option to keep the screen on. but when I'm in the car i like to listen to my tunes without streaming...

No problem, I ended up choosing PlayerPro myself a while back out of those Top 3.
BTW, Grab the "DSP Pack" and you can really have some fun with the equalizer settings added on...

Sometimes auto-ending a certain other app also causes the music to stop. I don't remember what it was, but it may have been photo gallery, or some other such media.

Hello all. I'm looking for your opinions on which music player is the best out there.
While I like the interface of the stock TW music player, there's one thing that bugs the crap out of me. If a band name starts with the word "The", the band falls in the T's. For example, The White Stripes are in the T's not the W's.
So what are your thoughts? I've tries Poweramp and it's decent. But I'm looking to try others.

I use poweramp more than anything, lots of options and good UI , heres the link in play srore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Also the full base mod is awesome, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301190 a great app to use also is faux audio sound

The last two days I've been looking for good music player too.
I had been using n7player because I like the user interface of it. However since I added my external 64gb SD card I have not been able to add music to it from the card. I can play music off of the card using that player but it can't locate it automatically. It can locate music off the internal storage fine.
I tried Power amp and had the same problem. Winamp was able to identify the music fine.
Im assuming its a format issue as I'm using exFAT instead of fat32.
At this point I'll say Winamp but I like n7 player the best

Give playerpro a try, its been my favorite for a long time now

I use tunewiki. Its easier to use and feels more stream lined imo plus it has lyrics which is nice
Of all the players I've tried I still prefer Neutron. Just seems to sound better. Subjectively, of course.
El Mono
MPlayer
I like the stock player on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but Winamp sounds just as good and the pro version comes with EQ. I would suggest just putting the first letter of the song before the word "the". So, instead of "The Black Crows" it would be "BThe Black Crows". This will fix the order of songs, but it does look awkward.
Player pro here. It also plays videos

Thanks for all the replies folks. So far, nothing has topped Poweramp, though PlayerPro is intriguing.

Everyone have their own preferences but personally, I like ROCKET PLAYER.
I bought the Pro version so I can use the 10 band.

I use poweramp, too. I like the stock player as it uses adapt sound, but I cannot use the wanam settings for skipping tracks with volume rocker on stock player. So I usually use stock player when I use the display while listening to music, and for all other cases (car, listening in the dark, ...) poweramp.
Try Neutron or PowerAmp.

of course "power amp" is the best
mmm idk. poweramp skipped for me from time to time. i tried a couple of players including jetaudio. it supports shake to switch track, flac, coverart, playlists, folders, etc, but still sometimes skips with the shake to switch track feature. not really happy about any of them.

I have the paid poweramp version but I think the stock player the sounds better. Use them in multi window and alternate playing same song so you can judge for yourself which one sounds better. But if you're not looking for sound quality Poweramp has more features and looks better.
GoneMad Music Player is the best for me:good:
for me the stockplayer is working great.....:good:
For convenience and general usage, Google music is better since you could have cloud and stream for free. If you are a little serious about music, I think Neuron would be the choice because of the high quality playback.

If u equalize it properly any player will rock. Poweramp well adjusted is the best for me. Stock sounds good but PA has more options..

if you want quality...i suggest you give neutron a try....i used it from the 1st time it was released & i still think its best...tried loads others like jetaudio, poweramp, playerpro etc but nothing comes close to this.... a word of warning, neutron's interface does take some getting used to
So, like a few days ago i made a comparison between these, and the stock player sounded a lot better than the google one, at max volume ofc, but now i cant see a difference, can anyone confirm if there are any differences?
Im only talking about phone speakers, not earphones or anything
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Haven't really compared since I like the HTC app better but I would imagine the stock app would sound better since it's probably tuned for the phones speakers. The Google app is probably just a flat EQ.
I think HTC stock is better cause the shuffle option, it creates a whole new playlist instead of shuffling the musics on its own, doing that sometimes it repeats the same music.
Maybe this is mentioned a hundred times already, but I noticed very early on that flac plays much louder than anything else.
Could it be that different formats threw you off at some point?
Also, folder playback is available on htc player, big advantage for me.

Hmm i tested the same song, and the htc player sounded better, but like i said now i cant see a difference. Ill try a flac file when i get home,
And why this bothers me is because i bought some songs on the play store and yeah...... I also dont like the scrolling sense has, it doesnt bother me in blinkfeed or smth, but it does in the music app.

there is one difference that i noticed
when using headphones, screen turned off
one click on headphones button do pause/play music in both apps
but doubleclick on Google Music switch to next track and on HTC Player calss last dialed number, for me it is a dealbreaker
holding down button seems to generate some kind of error, displays "Initializing" forever
but only on locked screen, on unlocked it launches Google Voice Search propertly

Some of us have more.... er... eclectic tastes in music for Spotify. Not too mention I prefer uncompressed flac over Spotify any day. But hey, not everyone is an audiophile.
Listening to flac on a phone isn't audiophile. It's sounds cool though.

Good point there. But I am willing to bet that true audiophiles don't want to use m8 for listening to music.
But I guess that you already ditched your stock earbuds also. I enjoy using them and more than happy for spotify quality.

This is the reason I can't use the stock player even if I want to. The lack of "skip track" control with my headphone controls. Shame.
I use Google music all access so I don't have much of a choice. But having pretty much any song I want to listen to ever is worth it
Never used Google player, i am pretty happy with the stock one!
