Music discovery app recommendation? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There's any number of music apps out there that will let you discover new music that's similar to what you like. I'm looking for something that will play music across genres that is completely random. I want to be able to press 'play' and not have any idea what's next.
l'n not interested in anything where you have to press a button to switch genres, or artists, or anything.
Any ideas?

Not outside the US. I'm in the UK. I can get a 'Pandora radio' that just plays rock'n'roll

Music fix

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.

Sometimes that happens to me just take ur SD card out and put it back in or a reboot of the tab should fix it.

Power amp has a 11 band equal. Really, cash flow that bad..?
He's just trying to get his post count up. Have you seen the amount of threads he's started lately? The majority of his questions can be answered with a simple Google search...which proves the point that he's only trying to get his post count up.

No Bluetooth metadata?

For some reason when I stream music in my car the song title won't display on my head unit. I know this a minor issue but I find extremely annoying and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if someone knows how to fix it. I'm on CM 10.1 RC1, the problem occurs with play music and Apollo. Thanks for anyone who helps me.

Sorry, it was a (USA related) current news joke............I just couldn't resist.
AFAIK CM10.1 does not support AVRCP 1.3, so it can't be "fixed".
I read somewhere we'll get AVRCP 1.3 support with KLP.

Built-In Music player problem - SM-N9005 + MJ7 (BTU)

Hi All
i've been searching through the internet and through XDA and couldn't find anything relative to the problem i experience with my Note 3 (SM-N9005 + MJ7 (BTU). I'm using the built in Music Player app and widget and i've noticed that it never remembers the minute/second of the currently played track after it exits. I mean - i listen to a 2 hours mix (single mp3 file) and pause the player after 40 minutes, then i want to resume from the same position but it will always start from the beginning of the track ! i've noticed that it happens only after Music Player disappears from the running apps and this happens few minutes after you actually pause it or exit from the UI.
Did anyone notice that ? is that a new "hidden feature" that we never asked for ???
Try using google play music.........

CM 11 / AOSP problems w/ Slacker Radio

So, does Slacker work properly for anyone on CM11 or any AOSP rom?
Every CM or AOSP rom I've tried to use Slacker on it does not with properly. It will load and start to play and then it will pause at exactly 7 seconds. You then have to press play again to continue the song. Also, after it starts playing it will skip around the song. Once it gets to the end of the song it will rewind about a minute or so and then will play to the end again then it will start the next song and then pause at 7 second again starting the process over again.
It works fine on any stock based ROM. But it does not work on any AOSP based rom and I've tried them all.
Anyone else with this problem? And if so do you have a solution?

Yes, It works properly on CM10.2. I keep trying CM11 in hopes its been fixed, but perhaps you and I are the only people on here that use slacker. Its a damn annoyance and since I pay for slacker its a deal breaker.
