Issues with music on SD card

I have about 6 gigs of music on the Micro SD card that came with the phone. It will randomly just stop playing. It will also stop when I get a text, email, unplug the phone, etc. Sometimes it'll stop when I turn the screen on by hitting the power button.
Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Which Player?
Which player are you using? I use Player Pro and I have that issue when I open music manually using Astro file manager. The best way to open music is to do it from within the player.

How did 6gb of music come preloaded on your phone?
I think they meant the SD card that came with the phone. do you have any task killers running?

It stops playing for a second with you get a text, email, and unplug the phone because the other ringtone thats set for that function is trying to play and it mutes your music. Disable SD Card notifications in Settings -> Sound and that'll stop it for unplugging of the phone, as for the text and email the only way to stop it from doing that is to set a silent ringtone or lower your volume to silent.

Wildwill is correct. I mean the 16gb card that came with the phone. I added the music myself.

It doesn't stop for a second, it stop completely. IT not only stops whenever I get text/email, if I open up the browser or open up an app, the music stops playing as well. It's not just when I receive notifications.
If you have the drm or download manager set to always kill it will stop music from playing anytime you wake up your phone. I had this problem too and although I have the drm and download manager set to kill when the phone starts I had to turn it off the option to keep them always killed. Doesn't seem to affect tye battery to turn off that option and although the download manager seems to keep running the drm, which is the real battery drain, appears to stay killed. But this only applies if you have a task killer running.
Jutlst know also that the music apps all need data access so anything that changes the state of your data connection may affect your music stream even from the sd card.

[Q] Help: music player bug!!

Play some music and at the same time get into Gallery apps, and the music player starts to go crazy, it jumps randomly to different songs as you navigate within the gallery app. Only happens when you are doing music playing and picture viewing at the same time, not for any other combination with music player.
Anyone got a clue what's going on?
Please post questions in Q&A section.

Might be user/device specific; as mine does not do this. I have no issues at all.
I tried other music playing apps like rockplayer and Pandora, seems like it's a bug within the Gallery app, since navigating the gallery pictures will leads to a crazy music playing in either android media player or pandora streaming...

Playing Music w Screen off

I have a surround system that I use the headphone port of the TF to output music on the surround and to wireless speakers through out my house.
When the screen turns off, the pause between songs is very long and eventually just doesn't play another song. When I turn the screen on it instantly plays the next song.
I've been on prime 1.5 and 1.6.
anyone else have issues listening to music when the screen turns off? This also effects the speakers too. Music playback in general. The music is on my microSD card but it also does the same when I copied them to the internal storage.
I have like 6gb of music but just strikes me as odd that while the screen is on it functions normally.

Seems to be a bug with stock music ape. Surprise it hasn't been addressed yet since this isn't a problem on any other music app. Rather I been using PlayerPro which works great and looks good on the tablet.
I use the program 'Screen On' from the market that prevents the screen from turning off when certain applications are running. You can set it up to not turn off when the music player is loaded.
I don't wanna keep the screen on for hours lol. So another music app works?

Use Google Music that way your music doesn't even have to be taking up space on your device or sd card, it rocks and it keeps playing with screen off no prob.

yes. i ve tested a few diff music apps and they all work fine without the screen off issue. seems like its only related to the stock music app. i ended up going with PlayerPro since it has a nice interface and feature wise to me.
Thanks to onebelo who recommended PlayerPro. It transitions with the screen off and interface is as good or better than the stock music app. The widget isn't as nice as Hive Player's, but I have even more problems with Hive Player concerning music playback with screen off(jumps, stutters and doesn't advance with screen off). Can anybody else confirm?

No experiece here with Hive Player .. what i like about PlayerPro too is it'll automatically download Artist photos and/or Album Art. and u can search it yourself too within the App. i also like the "Now Playing" screen better than the stock app

I just tried this on my N7. I started Google Play Music playing local mp3's stored on the N7. I was able to then switch to the open tasks and choose one and the music kept playing. I was also able to touch the Home button and went to the home screen with the music still playing. I could start any other apps and the music still played. Not sure what is happening with yours. Are you sure you weren't streaming over wi-fi? I'm stock rom, rooted.

How to stop Spotify pausing when receiving a notification?

Hi all,
Anyone happen to know how to stop Spotify from stopping playback for a second when a notification comes in from another app with Android 4.2?
Cheers!
That's a feature but some apps lower the volume for a second then raise it again while others pause.

Probably an obvious solution, but you can always kill notification sounds and just have it vibrate as an alert. Spotify shouldn't pause.
I have also always been annoyed by this. The apps playing the notification sound are the ones that determine if the music is paused or not right? I know that Chomp SMS has an option to NOT play notifications when playing music. So apps know when music is playing and can avoid the interruption.
I haven't seen other apps with that option, at least not the others I commonly use. So what I do is I have notifications disabled for most of my apps, but I like to know when I get a Gmail message, and Gmail will always pause my music (unless I set the phone to vibrate) which I don't like.
The main problem is when I stream music to my little Belkin audio gateway at home. If I set it on vibrate/silent, I can't hear the phone ring because the ringtone does not play through the A2DP music profile. I don't always have the phone with me because my range is limited (can't wait for a miracast affordable streaming audio solution).
I would love the music volume to be lowered while the notification plays, and then restore volume when it's over. Is there a ROM that does this? I know I used some ROMs on my EVO that did it, but don't know if there's a Nexus 4 ROM that will do the same.
I did set up a task with Automateit to set the phone to vibrate when Spotify is open. I think it will only do that when music is playing and not if the app is running in the background, but when downloading a playlist, it will do the same. Tasker probably has a better trigger so that it does this when music is playing, but I didn't want to pay the $7 for it today.
Shush! is another option if you know how long you will be listening to music, you can tell Shush to turn your ringer back on after an hour, but it's still not perfect.

which spotify or whatsapp im wondering whos going to get my strongly worded email?
I know on some ROMs, like paranoid, you can revoke specific privileges and permissions for each app. Could we remove Spotify's ability to know the phones notification state?
