I really couldn't stand the default music app on this phone, so I decided to pull the Google app from the market. Here's what the problem is.
If I start my random shuffle after plugging in my headphone cable, it will play the first song. Then, it stops. If I hit the power button or unplug the cable, the next song starts playing. I have to do this for every song.
Has anyone else tried that music player and experienced this?
(and for some reason I can never, ever put these things in the right forum. *facepalm*)
I have a similar problem with this app on my sgs2 too! But on my sgs2 i stream at work everynite with the google music app on my vibrant it streamed flawless with no gapps of dead air BUT with my sgs2 it buffers between every song! i know its not the building because my vibrant played perfectly in there. but between every song i wait anywhere between 30 sec to a few min until the next song plays on random, i never waited anytime on my vibrant!!!
THIS IS MY ONLY COMPLAINT ABOTU MY SGS2, I LOVE THIS PHONE, SO THIS COMPLAINT IS SMALL COMPARED TO MOST PEOPLE
This is one of two problems I have. The other, and very much more serious issue, is that the alarm clock function fails 20% of the time to ever go off. I'm trying a replacement app to see if the behavior is app or rom related.
My google music app won't reliably play offline music while offline. When I play a song, it will skip crazy fast through songs, stop on one and play it, then repeat. It's very annoying. This will happen with songs that are on my sd card as well, so it's not completely the app's fault.
I think samsung may have setup something weird to force you to use their music player. I was having similar weird issues with ubermusic, which NEVER gave me any issues. quite the coincidence...

Thats something u need to either reflash rom, or take phone back!!! i would would say odin back to stock but we dont have that yet. I use my alarm on my phone 6 days a week and it has never failed on me.
My google music app plays fine just not flawless like the vibrant which it should be the other way around, when i say flawless i mean no dead gaps of airtime, buffering etc

I've been thinking about flashing, but was really hoping to wait until something cleaner, say, CM7, was available. Flashing tweaked stock roms feels kind of pointless, but with the issues I'm having I'm starting to get concerned...

I've experienced similar issues with the ICS google music app.
I've run several different JB Roms but they all have a tendency to either reboot or refuse to turn on from sleep. It's not my power button (looked a thread where the person couldn't get their phone from sleep and it was a power button issue) because I can use the button to do a hard reboot. At times the ROM will simply stop. I'll be listening to music and the music stops playing and I can't get it to respond or I'll be in my app drawer and it won't change pages. Also, (and I'm not sure if they are related) Google Music will play music but will stop playing a song halfway through and start the next song.
I've wiped the cache and dalvic cache, fixed permissions made a nandroid and restored it and flashed new roms with a full wipe. That will fix the issue for a day or so but then the problems return and I'm starting to get a tad annoyed. Is this kernel related or is it possibly hardware related?
I, too, washaving issues with Google Music fetching songs while running the latest AOKP. However, the problem seems to have stopped with the official release of AOKP JB last week.
RR and SOD, like you described, are issues I'm still having though. They've gotten a lot better since last week. I've heard adjusting your CPU governor settings can help with the SOD.
So I use google music player instead of the native s3 music player from samsung because I have all my music uploaded to the google cloud. I just got the s3 a month ago and continually have this issue. I'm listening to music then all of a sudden it stops, it looks like its still playing but can't hear anything and then when I try and back out of it its frozen.
Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
thx in advance

This was something I experienced while on frosty jb rom. Thought I was crazy the only way I fixed it was to force stop the app when it happened. Quite annoying I know

I think its a problem with touchwiz, so far have not had any issues with toasted .marshmallows. a solution I found is to go to application manager and clear data under Google play. Its not efficient and you have to wait a few minutes for it to sync again.

Are you rooted? I had that same issue on jellybean stock w/ root. Better Battery Stats showed I kept getting a LPAplayer wakelock and when I changed the build.prop following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25475691&postcount=4732) it seemed to help. Dunno what the cause is or why that would fix it, but try it out if you have root.
thank you for all the responses.
So I am not rooted, just on the out of the box sg3 system.
I will try some of the suggestions..disappointed that there is the issue. And it does the same thing whether streaming from the cloud or the songs I have pined for offline listening which sits on the cache. :crying:
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm on stock JB, not rooted. It'll play a song or two then just freeze. I have to back completely out and try again and get the same results. Frustrating, because I don't store any music at all on my device.

and like me do you experience same results whether its streaming or playing a pined/cached song?
I wonder if there is someone to report this? I imagine it must be a know issue though?

Shouldn't be a touchwiz issue, as I have the same problem even though I'm running Nova Prime. I just replaced the google player widget with the samsung one and have been happy ever since. I don't really miss the cloud sync cause my library rarely changes much.
I am having the same issue. I thought it might be the romantic I was running, but now it has happened on two different roms. I wonder if it is a Jellybean issue?

I see this every so often when I am listening to music in the cloud. I never had this issue with my Vibrant. I am betting it is the Google music player needing a fix

Play music has been buggy for the past few releases. Bout the only solution is to roll back to a previous version. Down side is you lose themeing

I'm still having this issue. I don't have music pinned on my device, it's all in the cloud. Never, ever had this issue on my Vibrant. I actually went to Google's help today and the rep who called said they know it's happening with this phone. He advised me to uninstall the updates and then reinstall from the market. I did that, and it actually feels worse. Now it's "frozen" on one song and won't let me select another. The only buttons I have available are back, pause and forward, but it isn't playing anything.
Interestingly, I just uninstalled updates again, taking my Play Music app back to v4.3.606.400990 and it seems to be working fine. I've even had music interrupted a few times by phone calls and it picks up again and plays with no help from me.
Used to happen to me as well on stock, but since rooted and now running 4.2.1 problem has disappeared
same problem with vzw gs3
I have this same problem with my phone. The following steps detail what reproduces the issue for me.
Play Music starts playing, gets through about two songs, then stops.
When waking the phone Play Music is frozen. The pause, previous and next track buttons, but nothing on the screen responds to touch.
Hold down home button and use the built in task manager to end Play Music, accepting the warning.
Restart Play Music and continue playing. It will play normally after that.
However, from then on the LPAPlayer will keep the phone from sleeping.
If I leave it alone, it will show wakelocks into the 10-15 hour range.
A reboot of the phone will fix the wakelock, until I use Play Music again.
I am on stock rooted JB for VZW (VRBLK3). I don't think it's ROM or even phone specific though.Iit seems to affect a wide spectrum of ROMs and a few different phones on different carriers.
I am currently trying out the recommendation on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34586729&postcount=10
I am about six songs in now, will report back if it fails.

Did this work for you? I see that you have not posted again so I am guessing yes? This started happening to me when I went to JB Rom.

My Lt28h automatically stops music or video when I use Walkman or watch video, I tried TTpod and Realplayer but nothing changes, I have been using for 2 months, Ics 4.0.4, 6.1.E.3.7, not yet Root or Unlock boot loader.
thanks for reading!
I'm currently running XZXperience, but I have this problem anytime I use a version of Walkman that isn't the one that comes with the Stock ROM. If I'm on the stock ROM and flash nothing else but the Walkman app, I get the occasional cuts like you describe. Terribly irritating.
One of the times it crashed, I noticed it briefly flash something about being unable to read the next track, so lately I've been trying to troubleshoot from the perspective of a possible interface issue with the ext_card. I've wiped, formatted and restored data to my card, but that didn't help. I've tried various Cache size and method settings using 'Android Tuner', but nothing's worked.
I don't think it has anything to do with the size of the playlist, either, as I've tried a playlist of thousands and a playlist of six and have had sporadic drops with about the same frequency.
Any other thoughts or suggestions? Is there a way to go back to the 'older' version of Walkman, while keeping everything else?
(I also posted this issue in the XZXperience thread, but it's been almost two weeks and six pages with no reply.)
Clear cache of both applications and try reboots...hope it should fix the problem

After such a refresh, it gets a little farther along into a playlist, but still plops out after not too long, and will sometime crash right after selecting a playlist - not even playing a single note.
Like hulu8x, I've noticed the same issue on other media players too, like Amazon MP3, but Amazon MP3 works fine with Cloud Play, and TuneIn Radio and Music Unlimited work just fine.

Last night I did a wipe of the System and Cache partitions, Cleared the Dalvik and reinstalled the ROM. The first thing I tapped after it came back up was the walkman, and it instantly crashed twice before I was able to get far enough to play a song... Which crashed after a few seconds as well.
Hi all,
First time poster so please go easy on me..
Basically since the lollipop update (stock unbranded HTC M8) my stock HTC music player app has developed a rather annoying bug which involves the music song displaying its length completely wrong (please see attached pics). This causes the track to skip and jump to another track completely. It is very annoying!
It is not just with the HTC Music app either, I use a podcast app and the problem is also persists on that app too.
I have cleared caches, deleted and re-installed the podcast app. I don't know what to do apart from factory resetting the device hoping that will fix it.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading
Andy

Another one here with exactly the same problem. Unrooted, stock UK M8. Only happened since OTA update to Lollipop. Also noticed this (or very similar) issue appears to sometimes affect my Pocket Casts podcast app as well. The only time I've ever seen anything like this in the past was an old MP3 player I had that displayed incorrect times if music was encoded with variable bit rate. However all the music I have on my M8 is fixed bit rate so it's not that...
Does no one have any idea yet why this is happening or any suggestions for a fix? I've found that clearing the cache under Settings > Apps > All > Music can sometimes fix the issue temporarily. Soon comes back again though.
Ok this seems to have resolved it on my phone for now:
- Eject SD card (all my music is stored on SD)
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music > Clear Cache
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music Enhancer > Clear Cache
- Reinsert SD card
- Fully reboot phone by holding Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds
I'm still seeing a few isolated little glitches with some song times but they seem to be resolving themselves after a few goes, and the majority are currently displaying correctly.
Regarding the podcast side (using Pocket Casts app), I think I may have fixed this incidentally a few days ago when I moved my podcasts from using phone storage to SD. Taking this into account, it looks to be some kind of database corruption after the Lollipop upgrade, hopefully all ok after letting the phone rebuild its relevant media databases from scratch (I suspect a full factory reset would also fix it.) I wonder if the update included some kind of change to the MP3 decoding codec used which somehow misinterpreted the cached time info?
Same issue .. and lot of issues since lollipop
I did exactly like you said .. but I still get the same annoying bug .. and also there are many bugs after lollipop . like if you cleared recent apps and soundcloud was one , you see soundcloud's notification in the top left , when you slide it down , you see the latest song you have been playing , and it is frozen you can not clear it . and when you touch it , it opens again soundcloud .. you cannot fully close the app .. only if you did that in running Apps and force stop it .. EVEYTIME .. is that normal ? please help . and is it also possible to get back to Android kitkat ?!
I too have a similar issue... When playing, if I pause the song or audio book and exit the app, when reopening it forces the song or book to reset back to the beginning. Before it would resume from the place it was paused at.
Any ideas?
Audio messed up by lollipop

Does it play the full song inspite of showing the wrong length, or even the song's messed up ? A hard reset helps sometimes
Same problem here. Audios received by whatsapp have the same problem sometimes. I reverted to kitkat and the problem is gone, upgraded again to lollipop and problem is back. My music is on internal storage. Poweramp do not have this problem.
Hi,
I had same issue, it turned out that it appeared after turning off Nuplayer option in dev settings. When I turn it on again, as for now (2 days), works as expected.

i will try turning it back on to see if problem persists here.
EDIT:Turning nuplayer back on solved the problem. thanks.
I'll give that a try too. I can't remember why we turned off NuPlayer in the first place, but isn't there some other issue?
Guys the problem is caused by enabling dev options then turning it off
Just head into bev options and enable Nuplayer.it worked for me
Turning nuplayer on helps but than Messenger lags very often. Any solutions about that?
Thanks, turning on NuPlayer worked for me too !
