Google music that came with my tab running 3.1 out of the box isnt recognizing any of my music and closes its self seconds after i open it. I updated the app to 3.0.1 but still no dice. I googled it and i saw some one else that had the same issues but his problems were also not rsolved in his forum. Is there a alternative app that i can use so i can listn to y music?
Try poweramp
Mine had similar issues. It was recognizing all of my music but kept saying "error playing track" and would just randomly close the app after a few seconds. After I upgraded, it now will play the songs but still randomly closes. Trying updating again. Hopefully they resolve this issue quickly. I tried Poweramp but you have to pay for it.
Power amp! I'm using it now. I have never had a better quality sounding mp3 player.the controls for bass and trebble are amazing. You can pre amp it even harder if you have head phones that require more juice then stock tablet allows. This just made me go from hating the tablet to being inlove
I know why
I had the same issue, then i tried loading my music using kies and noticed that it put the music in sdcard/sounds and not the music folder. So after loading music using other methods into the sounds folder the music app plays it.
sounds stupid, but that's how it is

I just tried Poweramp...it's [email protected]#$% awesome. Definitely worth the price. Plus, gotta get these devs motivated to make more useful apps, right?!
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.
Marmite.
I am just getting my feet wet on the Android side of things and was wondering if someone can help me with how to configure my Joying 10.1" android unit running 5.1.1.
Currently with the default Radio, Music, and Video player apps, they all power off and on normally by bringing you back to the previous station, mp3, or video that was last played when the unit turns back on.
I am trying to switch to Rocket Music Player for the playlist support. However I have 2 issues.
1. When I have Rocket Player running and playing music, when I switch to the default Radio, Music, or Video apps from the head unit, the audio from Rocket Player continues to play in the background? How do I disable the audio mixing just for these 3 apps? I obviously want Rocket Player to keep playing when I run navigation or other apps, but I want it to stop for these default apps.
2. When the unit powers on, Rocket Player says that the task was killed and to disable the task killer to prevent this from happening again. Because of this, when I power the head unit back on, Rocket Player sometime randomly chooses a song from my library to play and not the last song it was playing for the unit is powered down. Where can I go in the settings to put Rocket Music Player on the exception list of apps to not kill when the unit powers down?
Do I need to try a different music app? Do I need to root the head unit? Is there a different app I can use to fix these 2 issues above?
Thanks in advance!
I tried PowerAmp and had the same issues. Is this something that Tasker can fix? Can Tasker kill just the audio for the stock Music and Video app when I launch either PowerAmp or RocketPlayer? Or will I only be able to kill the entire process? Sorry, I haven't purchased Tasker yet but will do so if it can fix my issues here.
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, new to forum. I tried searching but I have several questions that I can’t quite pinpoint so decided to just ask.
Recently purchased a cheap Android head unit off eBay for my suburban. Immediately after install I was disappointed and frustrated trying to figure everything out, but now I’m thinking it’s not user error but more of a software issue or a settings issue I’m not familiar with.
I’ll get straight to it.
Once installed I had no sound through Bluetooth, usb, or any installed app (YouTube, Apple Music, etc).
I found that the radio app did work, and after tinkering with some settings I got Bluetooth working (not sure what I did, think I was in the equalizer car settings). Well the next day I drove it for the first time and after a few minutes sound went out again. Switched to radio and works fine. So I did a full factory reset, and now it’s really screwy.
Now, Bluetooth only plays if I open the radio app. Radio does not work at all, the app opens and acts frozen, but if I hit play on my phone I get my music. If I open the Bluetooth app, sound cuts off. Music still shows playing on my phone, and when i reopen the radio app it pauses on the phone, I hit play and sound comes back. Still no sound through YouTube or any other music source, BUT voice turn by turn works through google maps.
I’ve tried doing a factory reset multiple times now (yes the full reset).
I tried downloading a new launcher, started with the carwebguru which resulted for some reason music only playing when the radio app was open, if I went back to the home screen or changed apps sound cut out. So I deleted it and downloaded FCC and it’s back to the way it was, Bluetooth plays through the radio app, and I can now switch back to other apps and music continues playing until I reopen another app that plays sound.
So, does this sound like this is a settings issue, hardware issue, or app issue? If it’s an app issue, what are some good apps to replace them with? I see a ton of fm radio apps but not sure if they’ll work, not really any Bluetooth apps, and I use Apple Music on my iPhone and have it downloaded on the stereo (although it doesn’t have sound, either).
Thanks!
Update. After playing around with some settings, I’m feel like I’m getting somewhere but not fixing the issue.
I went under the factory settings from car settings. Radio settings were set to NXP6851 and I changed it to FM Inside.
After doing so, the radio app works flawless but Bluetooth no longer plays through the radio app. Still no sound from YouTube or Apple Music.
So I set it back to the NXP6851 and sure enough, radio app is frozen and Bluetooth plays from my phone through the radio app.
I made a test phone call and Bluetooth works, but only through the radio app. If I open the Bluetooth app all sounds shut off.
Now, after playing around with it, I found that I can get the internal apps to play sound if I do the following: open radio, play music through my phone, back to home screen and open an app (Apple Music is what I used) and hit the play button. It stopped the music from my phone and started playing through the app!
I was excited as all hell, but it only played for maybe 5 minutes then the sound shut off again. Cleared all apps and sure enough, again the same process let me play music through the apps but only produce sound for a few minutes (not even one song).
Still messing with it. Anybody have any advice?
Thanks!
Figured it out. Not sure why but there’s an app called “mode” with two arrows in a circle. Hit it once and now everything works as it should. If i hit it again it goes back to just the radio working.
