WTF is going on with this thing?
A phone of this spec, and it can't even play a music album in the order it's supposed to be in, and after every song, I have to go into the audio booster and put it back on!
Only minor things I know, but surely they should have figured this out.
Apple have, so have Nokia...............
Oh btw, I've tried the reg tweak on the audio booster. Doesn't work for me.
I've tried using the home button instead of done.
I've tried renaming my music files with numbers at the beginning. No joy.
Really disapointed with this.
I use the music player in my car allot, and this is just redicularse.
The player doesnt look at the file order, it only sees the tags.
its probably the tags inside the mp3. I have seen albums where all teh tracks have 1 as the track number, in which case the player will put them in alphabetical order.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm probably being thick, but not sure what you mean by tags???
inside mp3's (and wma files) there is data such as 'artist, album, track number, genre, notes' and more.
To see what i mean, do you have winamp on your PC? if so, open one of the mp3's, select it in the playlist on the right, and hit Alt+f3
This pops up a box that shows the tags for that track.
There are loadsssss of mp3 tag programs, and everyone youask will advise a different one, and since i dont use one, , i wont recommend one!

Ah ok, that kinda makes sense!
Shouldn't really have to piss around like this though.
Seriously thinking of going back to an iPhone now, and this is sad, as all other aspects of the iPhone are crap

the man in dublin knows his way around the phone
knowing the song not playing in the right sequence has nothing to do with the phone and is rather an issue with bad mp3 naming
I defend the OP to an extent, the mp3 playback is Sense is a bit shabby. I used (before Android) S2P player, as Sense is a lot worse experience than I used to get even on dumb-phones such as Sony Ericssons.
sorry but i never had a problem with properly named songs in albums

Are you getting your mp3's from real sources or file sharing?
I get all my music from mp3va and I haven't had any problems with the sense music player.
i use this mp3 id3 tag editior, to fix up any misconfigurations in the id3 tag header...

Use both the Football Aqualizer Fix and SRS WOW HD,and only than we can have a conversation.
EDIT.in SRS WOW HD in the settings select the Headphone option and NOT the Internal Speaker.
edit2.the Football Aqualizer Fix will keep the Audio Booster until your next Reset.
I'd be happy if someone fixed the gaps between tracks issue.
For some reason, if my transformer is on standby it will pause music at the end of each song. All I need to do to get it going again is press any key on the dock or if it's not docked just tap the standby button and it continues playing the next song in the paylist. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm running Primordial 3.1 US with stock kernel and using the Google music Player.
It gets really annoying when i'm trying to use it as a music player in my car and i have to hit a button every time i want it to play the next song...
Funny, I just got on the forum to post the same question. I am using the stock music player as well and just noticed this. I didn't get to play with my ASUS much before 3.1 came out but I'm pretty sure it did not do that before 3.1.
For now I just downloaded poweramp as a third party option... but it has some bugs that bother me more than the song stop issue.
Mine does the same, it ihas something to do with the update. Didn't happen before. It also doesn't happen all the time.
Interesting. As I'm reading these postings, I'm listening to music through my Bluetooth headset coming from my Transformer, which is attached to the dock and closed - thus in standby. I'm listening to song after song, just like I expect to. I'm using the google Music Beta application to play my music. On other occasions I've listened to stuff in the google cloud, while right now the music is resident.
Are you using the google Music Beta application? The one with the headphones icon?
Could it be I'm listening to 60's rock?
Bye.
Same issue here. It's rather annoying. I'm experiencing it on 3.1 official update.
I'm in Canada so I can't use the Google music beta but if I'm not mistaken its still the same application. Has anyone tried with the clemsyn kernel to see if its still happening?

This started happening after the 3.1 update. If it's that much of a bother, you can always drop down to 3.0.1.
It irritates the hell out of me as I use the TF as a music player in the car. I've gotten in the habit of blindly reaching down and tapping the power button twice when a song ends. Minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.
I'm also in the Google Music beta (cloud storage) and this issue doesn't happen when playing songs from the cloud. At least it didn't once. I usually just play what's stored locally.
I tried other music players and they all work well, but unfortunately I haven't found one written with a tablet screen in mind. Not that I'm a graphics whore, but a phone UI stretched to tablet size creates usability issues.
Yeah, I noticed that from google music too. I was streaming from the cloud service. Guess that's why it's still in beta...
Same thing here, from local storage.. not from cloud.
Give this a shot: http://launcherpro.com/music/
^ Obviously from the guy who made launcher pro. it's not tablet optimized, but it still looks and runs great.

This app turned my Transformer into a Zune music player. Has the exact same look and feel.
Nice little app and it does solve the "pause while screen off" problem.
Would be nice if the developer makes a Honeycomb optimized version.
I have the same issue where it pauses, kinda annoying

You probably dont have issues because your playing through Bluetooth.

Just downloaded and installed this, very nice interface, I have decided to use this as my default player as I had the pausing playback via HDMI at the weekend whilst the screen was off. I've also put the app on my MIUI HTC Desire HD.
Thanks for the recommendation.

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.
how come in google music and amazon player it doesn't stop (whatsapp) but in spotify it does?

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?

Hey there, I've updated to official 5.0.2 lollipop on my device here in Panama (TPA) and I noticed that if I'm listening to music or videos wether through my headphones or speakers, whenever a notification arrives, it interrumps the music audio and it kinda sucks. And when viewing videos, I have to rewatch the part due to notification ringtone overcomes video's audio... Any ideas/help??? :'(

i like to go into the settings for the app and turn off notifications under the uninstall option. wont solve all the problems though. maybe a notification manager app would help.

I'm thinking more of a way to make the music and any notification sound to sound equally, like without the music getting paused for a second. Just the two sounds to play at the same time and hear both the music and the notification sound like in other devices I've had (S3 Neo) but no clues on how to do so.
Hi guys, i'm looking for an online music player but can't figure out whats the best version displayed on chinese head units. Apple music is slow, icons are small, takes many clicks to play, search does not show partial results as you type (like on the phone).....all those make it hard to use while driving.
Spotify is also strange, has small icons, even on premium you can;t simply play what you save it always adds other stuff or skips to other songs.
how are your experiences with those, what do you recommend for driving? are there any special or older versions that have a better UI for our headunits? thanks

Your description of Spotify doesn't sound right. I have Spotify installed on 3 different vehicles with Android head units, and I have no problem with playing my playlist the same way I saved it. Are you sure you didn't forget to log into your account on your head unit?
Now, I used to have a problem with Spotify in the car wanting to play what it thinks was the last thing played on my phone. Sometimes it would show a pop up and ask me which source I wanted to play from, and others it would just play from the phone instead of the head unit, or switch to the phone in the middle of playing a playlist from the head unit. Even disabling the option where it shouldn't try to play from other sources didn't help. I am thinking it was a Spotify app bug, because it doesn't do it anymore.
I like YouTube music as most. I have a Premium Account and it works like a charm. It is also controllable through Google Maps and Waze. I like it.

I use Spotify also and I am happy with it although some of the buttons can be small and hard to press.
There is an Auto/Car UI you can switch to. It will auto switch also I believe. I turned it off so has been awhile since I've seen it.
