Hey guys, i don know if many noticed this or not, after the update to 2.3.3, I can now control the music playback with the help of the headset that comes with the piece.
At first it could only pause or play the music with the click of the button but now the following are possible
press 2 times continuously and it will go to the next track
press 3 times continuously and it will go to the previous track
Now if they could only add a shuffle and repeat standalone buttons on the screen, the music player will be near perfect.
Great find thanks!
I think this was there before 2.3.3?
i personally checked it while running on 2.3.2 and i checked it on my friend's mobile who is running it on 2.3.2 and i can vouch that it was not there in the previous version.
hmmm cool...
Very nice, but my main problem is the continuous repeat without the ability to disable it.

In FM radio, press 2 times continuously and it will go to the next chanel
When playing music via Google Music, sometimes the app skips to next song before the current one is done. Any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?
My observations:
This happens during good internet connection (both on WiFi and 3G)
It happens to both "pinned" songs (cached) and the ones that are streamed. This happens even when the whole play queue is pinned (so there isn't a problem switching from cached song to streamed song)
All my music is via All Access subscription, so no songs are uploaded by myself (this eliminates the possibility of having a corrupt mp3 file)
After the music skips to next song, if I go back to the "problematic" song it plays fine to the end
This happens randomly to any song, and if a song skips once it doesn't mean it will skip again (this I find the most confusing)
Any help would be appreciated, this random skipping is frustrating!
P.S.: I have stock, rooted Nexus 4 running 4.3.

You could try to uninstall app or wipe the app data.
Are you using earphones or headphones?
Because it might matter.
I'm using Audeo PFE 112, so ones without any controls.
I've reinstalled Google Music, let's see if it helped..
Did you manage to get a solution to this? I've had the same problem on my N4 and previously my S3. I have noticed that it seems to happen when connected via Bluetooth. It seems to also be worse if I receive a notification, even if the notification sound is muted. if I use PowerAmp it's fine. In PowerAmp there are more options available to set the audio priority and buffer size. Could be down to that but obviously we don't have those options in the Play Music app.
I've got some more info that may be of use. It happens when I have an unread notification. It may not just be on Bluetooth as I don't read the notifications whilst driving obviously. This used to happen in PowerAmp when updating to Jellybean, however they fixed it. Makes no difference if notifications are on silent or if you swipe it from the notification bar, it has to be marked read.

I still have the problem. I will try to find out if it happens more when i get notifications and will report here..
This issue has been annoying the hell out of me for a few months now on my GNex on 4.3 (running AOSPA 3.99). Every time they push an update to the Play Music app I think "Finally!" assuming it will fix this issue, but no dice.
Mine is always on Bluetooth, and happens with streamed or pinned music. It will play whatever song I left it on when I last exited the player, completely, then the next song that comes up in the queue is the one that will skip after partially playing. I haven't timed it, but it's something like 20s or so. If I manually go back to the beginning of the track it skipped, it will play it completely to the end with no issues. I have found, from messing around with it, that if I proactively skip back/forward to another track manually before hitting "Play" it doesn't seem to happen. It's acting like when the player starts up, it "thinks" it received a "Next" button press via AVRCP and advances to the next song on its own.
Is that description consistent with what you guys are experiencing?

This is what I'm experiencing. Since it doesn't happen outside of that I'm not too upset.
This latest Google Play Music app update (5.2.1224L) seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Did anyone else have this fixed? As of today, the songs still skip for no apparent reason. Its happened on my GS3 and Nexus 7 2013. Both rooted and unrooted.
Same Issue
I'm still having this problem using my nexus 5 and Nexus 10. Both are running Android 4.4.2 and app version 5.4.1413N.1048534.
I'm having the issue too. I was originally using power amp and thought it was that. But i went back to Google play and it's more prevelent there. I not only get songs that skip, i get songs that play with the wrong name( songs father down the playlist play ontop of another song name) or it adds sounds that arent supposed to be there. Ive even had a song playing in slowmotion. I used to never have this happen. Last time i did a transfer of music ( pc to phone) was almost a year ago.
I'm using the LG L90-4.4.2
I have the same problem on my head unit 4.2.2. Is it possible to force the PRIORITY for google music app?
Same skipping problem
I am having the issue quite a bit on my home wifi with sonos system playing through sonos app. Every 30 minutes or so, 2 or 3 songs in a row will play about 5 seconds and skip to the next. Really annoying when you actually like the song it is skipping. I'm using iPhones, iPads and windows computer with the sonos and it does it will all computer types. I am not hitting buttons inadvertently. Did anyone figure this one out?
I have the same problem on my ZTE Z820 Obsidian.
I have this problem, but not with this phone. I think it is related to some aspect of Google music. I am using BubbleUPnP to stream to a Raspberry Pi 3 running RuneAudio which has the Debian standard MPD player embedded in it. BubbleUPnP runs on 2 Android phones - Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (4.4.2) and Moto G5 (7.0).
When I stream from my own UPnP server, fine. When the streaming source is Google Play Music, I get these symptoms. No internet issues, no mobile data, just domestic broadband and ethernet/wifi LAN. Every 3 or 4 songs it just skips to the next track half way through a song. Maddening.
Hi guys, I have the same issue with my One Plus 5T. Did you find a solution?
thanks in advance
The problem went away, but I can't remember why. I think it may have been to do with the buffer in RuneAudio which was too small/big. Or maybe a new version of Play Music came along. Sorry.

Hey guys have a very specific issue.
I have a galaxy note 3 with sprint. My car is subaru impresa 2013.
The issue is when my phone connects to the car media through blue tooth. When I turn on my car the phone pairs automatically. And the music starts playing right away. The phone determine which app to use based on a which app I used to play music last time. Right now I using the Samsung music app and Google Music app.
Issue 1
When the music is playing occasionally you hear a crackling noise for a second. Which kind of disturbs the flow of the music. I monitored the phone to see if it was any sort of notifications that would trigger the interruption but no notifications happen at that time. I also went to blue tooth settings and only enabled the media Audio profile. That did not seem to fix the issue. This lead to a the second issue.
issue 2
When the phone is playing music while connected to the car media it would stop the music and not play. At that point the phones home button stops working. So you cannot go back to the main screen unless you restart (pull the battery the power button does not work either) the phone or use the back button to the right of home button.
Issue 3
When the phone connects to the car media automatically car media does not read the song info. For example artist and title. I have to restart the blue tooth in order for that info to appear on the car media screen. This also presents you from changing songs from your wheel buttons.. basically if you can see the song info on the car screen then you can switch songs. If you cannot see the song info on the car screen then you can't use the controls to switch songs.
Please if any one know what's going on I would appreciate your input... I have few more days to swap the phone if this is hardware issue.
Ok so basically I use bluetooth lg tone pro's every day for work, and every time I am listening to music while the screen is off..I can skip or repeat the song but I can't really pause it. SOMETIMES I can pause it but when it lets me pause it...it will close spotify. I never had any problems with my htc 10, s7 and nexus phones, so it's not a broken headset.
Anyone else have these problems?
I went on maintenance just to be sure spotify or soundcloud isn't being put to sleep and it's on the unmonitored, I tried re pairing the device but no luck.
Hey, I know its been a while since your post but I have these issues actually. I have a spotify community post open as well as I don't think google play music has had this issue. If you want to weigh in there as well here it is https://community.spotify.com/t5/On...king-after-a-few-minutes/idc-p/3740076#M63097
Hello,
I have a Nokia TA-1021 and there seems to be a bug where media keys are sent twice when the screen is off.
Whenever I play some music and press the headset button twice, the phone skips one song when the screen is on but two songs when the screen is off. This happens with many music players (I've tried Vanilla Music, Sony Music and Zing MP3), but strangely enough Google Play Music is fine. I've had this issue since Nougat and it's still here on Oreo. My friend, who's got a TA-1021 with the Nov patch also confirmed it happens on his phone with foobar2000.
Viewing logcat from Android Studio, I can see that MediaSessionService is sending KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT twice when I double-press the headset button.
Anyone else having the same problem? I am quite sure it's device-specific because I've tried different pairs of earphones and the result is still the same, and on other phones double-pressing the button skips one song only whether the screen is on or off.
