Can't play mp3s - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After the lollipop upgrade I'm unable to play mp3s other players except LG Music. Nextmusic crashes and Google Play Music gives me this error "Music Playback error: Couldn't play the track you requested".
Oh, and if play them through ES File manager to PlayMusic it works.
I tried to clear cache of interested applications and cleared the cache via recovery but nothing

Resolved, it was Vipers fault. Uninstalled the driver and now it works

Issues playing cached/local albums in Google Play Music

I recently upgraded to the newest version of Google Play Music for the All Access feature, but I've found that the app is having trouble playing music that I have on my phone, whether it is cached from the app or added manually.
The first song of an album or playlist will play, but the app displays a "Music playback error : Couldn't play the track you requested" whenever the app tries to move to the next track. This doesn't happen to streaming music strangely, only music I've cached or loaded from my computer.
Is anyone else having this issue? Let me know if you're able to reproduce this or not. I've tried re-installing the app, clearing the cached music and data, all to no avail.
I really want to love this app with its new layout, but not being able to properly play back local music is a huge issue.
BTW my phone is rooted, not sure if that's going to be an issue or not.

[Q] Nexus 4 Play Music

Yesterday I received the kitkat update. I installed it with no problems. The problem I have now is the Play Music app. Songs that used to play no longer play, I get Music playback error, Couldn't play the track you requested. This is happening to alot of my songs. If I go to the file manager, music file and select the song to play and choose Google Play Music, the song will play. But wont play on my playlist or if I try to play from within the app? Any ideas????
I've got the same problem. "Music Playback error" from Google Music app, and "Error playing the track" using MixZing Music Player.
Looks like an OS problem, not a problem with the player.
Solution 1. Go to settings > apps > Google Play Music > Clear cache and data.
Solution 2. Uninstall the Music app. If you cant; use es explorer and delete it from the system folder (root permission is required) make sure you are rooted.. Reboot your device and reinstall from the Playstore.
Solution 3. Try deleting all the songs and re-copy them.

[Q] Android 4.4 Alarm and Pop up music player problem

Hi,
Anyone able to play media files from explorer with the pop up player ?
I found that my phone not able to play any mp3 with Es File Explorer popup player and/or Google Music Player popup player opened with Es File Explorer (They popup, i can seek forward and back, can pause and play, but no progress when i press play its just stuck there). If opened using apollo and/or mx player, it's open the full player and the mp3 play just fine. And Google play music play all my mp3 just fine.
And also the alarm clock cannot play any custom mp3, when the alarm triggers its doesn't play the mp3. I thinks its the same problem with above.
Thanks for your helps

trouble playing music on my e7 32 gb

the default music app fails to play any music. it just gives the error "sorry, failed to open file". ive tried using third party players like poweramp, but they play a song or so and then the playback keeps stopping. when i press play again, the song plays for a second or so and then stops again. this keeps going on. please help me with this problem as the music playback is great on this phone and i am missing out.
solved, music working
there seems to be a problem with the default music player. when i forced close the default player, third party music apps work perfectly. default music player does not work at all for some reason

Some of my music is not playing

Just got a new 6P from Google. I have it unlocked and TWRP installed, but no rooted just yet. Loading everything up on the phone, and I've come across an odd issue. I loaded my 1500 or so songs from my Samsung S5 to the 6P, and Google player only sees some of the songs. All the ones I bought from Amazon and some other random ones I'd ripped from our CD collection. Rocket Player sees them all, but won't play any but the ones Google Player plays. Tried some other music apps, but similar results.
I deleted all the songs, put them back in different folders, wiped the cache on Google Play and Rocket, booted the phone. I used ES File Explorer to go to individual albums and try to play the songs direct from there, but still does not work. I get "Couldn't play the track you selected".
Google search said to nuke all the music and go into Apps>Media and clear the storage, but that is not an option under Apps on this phone. Doesn't really seem like that kind of issue anyway, since it will play some of the songs.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
I decided to completely wipe the phone and start over, as this was not the only odd behavior it had. So I wiped it out, even the system files. I used fastboot to reload all the images. I did not re-lock it, and left TWRP on it. First thing I did after setup was load some music and I'm getting the same results. Some songs play, some don't. App permission shows it has access to storage.
Any help?
I finally found a player that would recognize and play all my songs, Poweramp. So I guess the issue is just that MXPlayer and Google Play Music are not fully compatible with MM 6.01.
