Slow to choose music tracks - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I noticed a strange issue when I try choosing different music tracks on my axon 7. At first I thought it was the default music player so I downloaded my go-to black player and the issue is still present.
Basically whenever I choose a track from my library the app hangs for 4 seconds or so and then the music starts playing. Obviously not too much of an issue but it'd annoying.
My music is all in FLAC format on a 200gb micro SD. I've enabled storage permissions for the music apps. This issue wasn't present back when I was on my S7 Edge.
Thanks in advance.

Music Playback Issue

Hi All,
Anyone else having issues with MP3 playback using the defaul music player (and also using the Cubed player? About half of my mp3's on the device stop playing after about 1/2 a second. I initally moved my music library via simply drag and drop into the device storage from my Win7 PC. I then deleted the entire library and tried syncing via WMP. Made no difference. Files play back fine using PowerAmp. I'm really digging the new android Music player though, and would love to get it working properly. Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks,
Tony

Locating USB music

So I rooted my Nexus 7 and installed stickmount. I plug in a usb stick with music on it and Astro file manager finds it at sd1. I can tap on a song and choose a player and it plays but I'm having trouble getting a player to find the music without tapping on individual songs. Help would be appreciated.
I got zero answers to my question on two forums so I decided to download the nexus 7 Media Importer. It works and I can import media on an
SD card or USB device without having root. I can tell it to stream the songs but unfortunately it seems to stream only one at a time despite choosing multiple songs. If no songs are choosen the stream option does not appear. So am I right that, at this time, there is no way to play music from a USB or SD card except by choosing and playing one song at a time?

Not Showing all Songs in Library

So, I'm having a rather annoying issue here. I have a very large iTunes library and I bought the 128GB version so I could fit all 35gb of music on my phone without running out of space. The problem is that it shows there is 35gb of audio files in storage but when I open my music player app (currently using shuttle) and select play all songs, it only shows there as being 2,492 songs in the list (thats just a little more than half of the over 4K songs in my music library). So basically I'm missing out on almost half of my music when I go to shuffle and I can't figure out why. There is nothing I can find on the music player forums or on the phone forums for this. Does anyone know why?? Halp

Did you rescan your media library? - This needs to be done for the phone to detect any changes since plugging in via usb
Are all your songs the same format? - This is important if some are different formats the phone may not necessarily pick them up

Interestingly enough, it shows all the songs in Poweramp which I think is weird... They both support the same file types.. I'm wondering if it's some sort of thing that all players have that limits the amount of songs shown in the queue

playlist problem on rebooting

All of my music is on a 200gb sd card. In google play music I created a number of playlists over a couple of days. I recently rebooted phone and noticed that most of the playlists had lost all of their songs. Rebooted again and another couple of playlists went the same way.
The music still exists on the sd card. The artists and albums are still present in the Play Music library and still play ok.
Anyone else had this.......or even better, a solution
Edit - seems to occur after a power off and power on rather than a reboot

I have done a few tests and can now say that the problem only exists if the playlist points to music on sd card. If the playlist points to music on internal storage then rebooting the phone does not affect the playlist.
Therefore it seems likely that rebooting the phone causes the path to the music files (on the sd card) to change, so play music can no longer find the songs even though they still exist on the sd card.
PS......emailed Samsung Support, their reply was that rebooting the phone causes all of the music files on the device to be deleted (even though I explained that my music is on sd card not device memory and that the music files still exist, just they don't show up in the playlist)
What about trying another music player, or another playlist format (like M3U, but maybe for that u need another music player too)... in my personal experience, the music was the biggest problem because I feel like Goole Play Music is worst that windows media player xD, and actually find a good media player is so hard, but never tried GPM, so maybe is a problem from the app and no the phone itself

Yeah, using Poweramp now..........and I've found I prefer it to GPM so should be grateful that I had the problem
#same
Yeah.. annoying as.. Wasted hours putting playlists together on Music Player only to have contents get deleted when power off / on.. Read something about being able to make sd card 'adoptable storage' by tweeking developer options.. may give this a try, but it involves formatting the current sd card, so plan to try when i have some time..

Random MP3s Not Detected/Being Played

Just recently I made the switch from Google Play Music to a third party player and put all my music onto the phone. Everything seemed to work fine until I realized random songs here and there aren't being detected by any music player I have, or they are detected but are shown with some crazy length (sometimes even negative) and will just sit at the 0:00 mark. I've verified the files are formatted as MP3s and all so I have no clue what the issue might be.
I have a similar issue. The default tones in the "Notifications" or "Ringtones" folders will show in Google Play Music. No other music in any other folders show up.
Basically, I can listen to all the default notifications and Ringtones in any music app, no other music in any other folders (or even the defaults for notifications and ringtones) show in any music app, and I've tried many. I can view and play them using Root Browser even though I don't have root, but I can't play them in a music app at all.
