So I've dragged and dropped music onto my Epic. I put it in the Media folder of my SD Card. My epic will play all music, expect for songs from a single artist. It baffles me! There's nothing that separates it from the rest of my music. Same format (both m4a and mp3), it plays both formats for every other artist, Protected or not, except for this single one. Even more baffling, my Epic will randomly decide to not recognize ANY music, both mp3 AND m4a. I don't understand it :/ I won't notice it until I see that my phone is ringing but no ringtone, b/c I have Windowlicker as my ringtone. So on multiple occasions, I would go to my music player and it would literally go through every single song and display that disappointing "File not supported" message. I reboot my phone and it's fine again, with the exception of that one artist. Anyone got a fix for this or at the very least tell me why this is happening? I'm running my Epic on SRF 1.1.
Just had this happen to me today. I ran through a few things and it fixed itself...I uninstalled Voodoo Sound control...reboot...fixed permissions...reboot...and then another reboot due to some goofy lock up with my airplane mode. Started working again. Running Bonsai 4.01. The odd thing is that it was ALL music apps...Amazon MP3 and Poweramp too.

Maybe try installing the "My files" app. Flash the attached through clockwork and see if that helps.
It has been happening for a while now and i am writing this from my Evo and the music just stopped about a minute ago... The problem is whenever i listen to music it is fine until i use the browser, just by opening it my Equalizer app stops running (it does not force close or anything, but the effects stop working) and after a couple of seconds my music also stops playing as if it pauses itself... I know its not the player since i tried several ones, so how can i fix this??
I currently do not have songs on my SD card, however, I am able to listen to music via the Google Music Beta App while surfing the Internet without any problems.
posting & replying via my EVO 4G
Hmm ill give it a try and see if it works for me
Just tried it, no luck... Same thing first EQ stops and a couple of sec later the music stops...
Hi guys, I did a search and I can't find anything on this, if it's already been answered I do apologize. I've got a kenwood stereo in my car that connects to the phone and streams music over bluetooth. I've used this on my last 2 phones (Samsung Epic, and HTC EVO) with no problems. Now with the Galaxy SII, i can't stream music. It will connect and do voice calls no problem, but when i try to play music, it just skips through every song on the list and then freezes. The only time it worked was the first time I connected it to my stereo. Has anyone else had this problem? Since I use Google Music, all of my music is streamed and I have to do it through bluetooth, this has become quite a pain!
i'm on a clarion CZ 509 no problem streaming from my phone to the car
it does it automatically as soon as the car is in the phone range
which some times is kinda annoying, when you don't want it to auto stream
Yeah, mine will connect automatically and phone calls and dialing work with no issues. It's just streaming music. I'm going to try and delete my phone from the deck and re-connect it, hopefully that works. I'm trying to avoid having to replace my phone or do a hard reset.
my deck can save up to 5 phones pairing
so i just assigned a new profile to the SGS2 when i got it
the other ones registered are my old I9000, XT720 and Nexus S
there is another trick you can use
in the phone in the BT profile after pairing, hold the profile for 2 sec, it will pop up a sub menu, in which you can choose both option or only 1 of them
in which case it's BT audio, or BT phone
so play around with that and see
another thing which i don't know if your deck allows you to do is to Pair the phone as a Media device, or Phone device
so in my deck can can pair the phone to be only as a phone device, or only as a media device, or both
I tried messing around with those options, however it either disconnects the phone completely (unchecking the phone box) or just plays the music through the phone (unchecking the media box). I tried streaming another song through the stock music app, and that worked, so I think it may be google music itself. I had downloaded the ICS version, so now i'm trying to downgrade back to current. I'll have to check to see if works later, as now it won't connect to my account to grab all of my music. Thanks for the replies though, I'll keep this updated incase anyone else has the same issues.
now that you mention it, that might be it
the DRM license thing kicking in
i just found that was causing some random crash on my phone as well, removed music 4.0 and installed another music player, now everything is back to normal
i use jukefox to play music, it automatically creates everything that is necessary, like albums, auto get the missing album covers, etc, etc...
1 button does it all
then you just pick or randomly choose what you want to hear, easy music browsing for when you are driving
Yeah it's definitely a google music issue on my phone. The stock player works fine, but that doesn't help me, I keep all of my music uploaded to the google cloud, and have no way to access it right now. Even with the regular current apk I am having issues. I'll have to wait and see if they can update it for this drm issue I think. For now I'll just use the current stock player and fill up my sd card and play off of that
that's what i do
i play it off my SD card
get a 32 GB or 64 GB and you'll have plenty of space to load all your favourite albums
i keep several copies of 32 GB for different albums / movies
So just a followup to this, I did a hard reset today on my phone and it still doesn't help. Turns out, it only does this when connected through bluetooth, and it's a song that's been "made available offline". If i'm actually streaming a song, there are no issues, but any of my playlists or albums that are saved won't play through bluetooth (they will play normally however). Hopefully this can be fixed in an update through Google Music.
So, i've had this issue as well and it appears to be something to do with "shuffle".
At first I disconnected bluetooth and then started playing the music on my phone and made sure to turn ON shuffle..I then turned bluetooth back on in my radio and once it connected...all was well. I didn't like this solution and decided I needed to find an alternative.
I then downloaded the MIUI music app (which has always been my favorite) and the music streaming is working normally now
Was this an issue that you experienced with the google music beta app, or just the standard music player that came with the phone? Mine has only had issues on the music beta app, and it didn't matter if i had shuffle on or not. I've been using the standard music app that came installed on the phone and have had no issues since. On another note, does anyone know if you can see album art through bluetooth? I'm able to get song , artist, and album info, but I've never seen album art come through yet. I'm not sure if this is something bluetooth can handle or not.
Stock app. I just installed music beta and it seems to work fine like miui music

I take that back, music "beta" just did it to me too. Back to miui

Greetings. Im hoping someone might be able to help me with a very annoying problem im having.
I have somewhere around 2000 music tracks, all of which are uploaded to Google Music. Ive had GMusic since they first announced the beta and i love the fact that my entire library is everywhere I go. I also love that i can download the tracks directly on my phone, from my phone.
However using the app to play music is horrible. In the past i used poweramp, which is a wonderful player. My main problem with Google Music is it audibly cuts the power from the headphone jack in between tracks, so when i have it hooked up to my car stereo i hear a pop when the track changes... which annoys me to utter hell. On top of that it behaves weirdly some times, for example i had it set to shuffle all the other day, and it would stop on every song, and i would have to hit play manually to go to the next song.
What i would like to do is go back to using PowerAmp, but be able to manage my music as easily as i do with GMusic. Problem is that, PowerAmp doesnt see the music i download from the GMusic app and the one time it did, all the meta-data wasnt there. So all poweramp said was "Unknown track 1".
The other side of the problem is managing it on my computer. Since i bought music from Itunes and Google Music, keeping everything organized has become a nightmare(i have a number of compilations, and when you download the music from google music, it organizes it by artist not by the album). Which is why i dont want to have to manually move files to my phone. Ive tried WinAmp and Double Twist, and both have their annoyances. I was wondering what other people do, maybe someone can make my life easier.
subsonic, streams from your PC, no need to upload it to the cloud and it the UI is not bad either. it can also cache your streams for offline play
Hi guys I need help fixing the song durations detected in my music app players..
So far I have tried Rocket player, 3, doubletwist, walkman but they all seem to recognise a few of my songs as lasting over 20 min!
Those songs usually last around 3-4 min and I have even tried to delete and retransfer to the sd card. For example, the first song is stated to be 27:55 min long but when I play it, it just fully played out (around 3-4min) and go to the next song..
Anyone knows the solution? I need this solved as I usually use the slidebar to adjust to various part of my songs in order to listen to specific part and it just sucks that instead of going to the 2min mark, I need to move to some random timing and hope that is the 2min mark.
Thanks!
