I think the Note is a great device. I just could not fathom what the designers were thinking when they built the stock Music Player. It plays album tracks in alphabetical order, as opposed to the common track number order. I did not see any option in the UI to make it behave properly.
I am certain my MP3 with ID3 tags are fine. Because they played fine on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S II. My workaround to this quirky behavior of the stock music player... use an alternate Music Player from the Market.
same problem
Yup...mine has the same issue...all songs in all the albums are arranged alphabetically.
And there is no option of changing it. This is my first android and did'nt expect these kinda bugs.
Even my last phone, N8, had songs arranged by track number. Its really frustrating.
Anyone got a fix or do we have to wait for an update from samsung.
Btw another thing i noticed was that while viewing the music list while playing the music in the background, the bar at the bottom displays "song name _ artist". Should'nt it be a '-' instead of a '_'.
I noticed the same issue with the stock music player and also couldn't find a work around. I have therefore now started using Winamp which does thankfully play them in track order.

So there's no other option but to use another music player.
And wait for samsung to fix this.
Slightly off topic, but this is one of the advantages of Android over iOS - if you don't like the stock application, you can simply use another!
I don't think I've used the stock music player for any Android device I own.

Lol..ya dude...another way to look at it...
And which player do you suggest?
I went for "cubed" (or "3") from the market, mainly 'cos it looks really good - but it sounds good too once you tweak the EQ a bit (though I have found that it has a tendancy to lock up the player if you mess with the EQ settings too much on the graphical interface).
EDIT - I also found it to do a good job of sorting out the somewhat patchy album art I had on the 30GB library I'd copied over form my old N900 to my Note (once I discovered that to do this you hold and drag on the album to get to the art selection/download functionality). It doesn't have an auto mode to process all albums but the per-album manual method was quick & painless for those albums that required it.
Well the real problem that i saw after using the note is that in Artists view...the songs are arranged by track number...while in album view..they are arranged alphabetically....
The thing i wanna know is does 2.3.6 fix this or not...

Thanks

Power amp was using to much the CPU 35-50% so installed and did go back to stock player and his 5-12% CPU usage.

The stock player sorts the track according the track numbers in the artist view.

Ya i know it does that in artist view...it would not be a problem if some albums had different artists...then we have to open album view and listen alphabetically which sucks...and as Braxos pointed out power amp is using too much cpu for playing music...i just did'nt expect these kinda bugs when we're buying expensive smartphones...
Winamp sorts the music properly.

MixZing is what I'm using, GREAT audio player which boasts a 10 band equalizer ranging from 30hz to 16khz, an amplifier to boost the volume, and yeah the songs/artists are alphabetically in order too!
I strongly recommend this application.
Efficient Music Player For The Note?
Coming from an iPhone which can boast music for 20 hours in a real life scenario... is there any decent music player that is power efficient? Poweramp looks like a battery hog that i'm not using for sure. Thanks
If anybody has run a music playback time test please report.
OK so here is an odd one, got some music on my phone's internal memory. MP3 Format.
When I try and play it through Google music it give me a music playback error on every track.
If I go through file explorer and click on the individual files then choose Google play music from the pop up to actually play the track it works fine???
Anyone else had this issue?

I'm having an issue with music stored on my phone. Play Music will play the first track but has an error when trying to switch to the next song. Streaming music works though.

The frustrat against android strikes again.
I'm just curious to know why in the world the songs available on Google play music on the Web keep getting double or tripled on my phone. I aprocimstely have around 800 songs on my entire playlist on Google music but on my phone it decides that some songs will show in double or triple... Why? Please explain me why?

You should use poweramp its way better and you can delete from there. I don't really know why but it may be categorizing the songs as different categories, artists, genres, etc. I also seen that when adding music that you downloaded from say torrent it sometimes makes double copies of the songs for some reason. I'd seen it happen a lot when I had an iPhone adding music via iTunes and I would have to go through all the songs and search for the doubled songs. But like I said download poweramp find a song that has doubled or tripled and delete the other one or two

The problem is not in the computer itself. It's the application or something. The song is only 1 time in my pc.
Also, does poweramp auto sync with iTunes? Like the music manager does?

it might be seeing a copy on the phone and a "copy" that it streams from their servers.
So, when I look up for a music player, I only need 3 features :
_Sort song by last added/modified
_Clic on a song and "listen after the one currently playing"
_Having my lockscreen background set with the music image cover
So far on my P9 Lite, I have not been able to have all of the 3.
_Google music does not detect my music's image cover
_Huawei player cant sort, nor have the button I need
_Phonograph cant set my music image as lock screen cover
I am only listenning to music from my SD card.
If anyone has a solution regarding any of the 3apps I ve tried, or an app that have been prove to work fine with my criteria, I ll be really happy.
Thanks.
I can recommend you BlackPlayer free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kodarkooperativet.blackplayerfree
or EX version which I'm using
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kodarkooperativet.blackplayerex
But for the 3rd criteria you will need root for every music app to show cover on lockscreen because it's a Huawei issue or limitation.

Hi all, anybody know of a music player that will syce between multiple devices including a pc? I usually use the Amazon music app but they've discontinued music uploads. Amy help would be great thanks.
Google play music is not without its flaws but it will at least do this (as long as you can live with uploading only from the PC or by using workarounds like a cloud storage synced folder).
I never noticed Amazon had disabled uploads for non-paying customers - there were things I liked better about the player, but the free storage limit was too small to be useful to me anyway.
if you use iTunes you can use iSyncr and sync your playlists to your android devices and use Poweramp or a music player of your choice. Poweramp is a top notch player with a high quality EQ btw. I used to use Google Play Music from time to time but it is lousy at syncing from my computer to the cloud and to the phone and tablet. it adds the same albums like 4 times over in the playlists and gets them all screwed up. So i gave up.

This is googles sync tool, point it at your music folder on your PC and let it rip. Songs will be streamable from the Google music app.
