Hello guys,as per title i'm experiencing music stuttering even on JB(given that it might be the leak's fault as it isn't complete yet)the same as ICS(meaning stuttering with FB browsing twitter ecc ecc) but the multitasking is improved beyong possible and anything is perfect,i really don't know what to think.
I didn't posted this in the leak thread because it's so crowded my post wouldn't even be read.
thank for the help(if there's any)
cheers
Dave
Walkman is really heavy. When I was light running the leak (read it: only a few essential apps installed) no stutters at all (and I mean it: not a single stutter), maybe the music stopped playing due low RAM but that was it. With Walkman and PowerAMP, sutter is almost gone.
"almost gone">that's what i don't get. My friend's xperia sola doesn't have this kind of problems neither my 2010 desire hd do.
On top of that the free ram now is like doubled on jb so i don't understand how can the music player stutter.
Thanks for the help though i'm trying to use Gplay music let's see if anything change.

Neutron Music Player
I'm using Neutron Music Player on my XPERIA LT26i with Leaked JB 4.1.2 and I have no problems that I can hear.
Even when the screen is off the player is fine and doesn't lose focus.
Don't even need a SetCPU profile to maintain priority as Neutron Music Play must(haven't really checked) lock in a 'required' CPU frequency to support continued and smooth playback, thus overriding lower screen-off CPU frequencies.
Google Play downloaded music plays at 64bit(indicated???) and 320KB/sec and I don't remember hearing anything odd,
Most of my wav and flac music (16 -24bit) streamed off my NAS sounds fine.
I stream 720p TV and videos(mkv H264,AC3) using BSPlayer from my NAS and they play without any lag or 'stutters' and with videos, you'd hear/see anything odd pretty quickly.
AND all this is with the default leaked JB CPU governors(ondemand) and scheduler(cfq).
Think what we could have when DoomLord and others go wild with bespoke Kernels.
I have approx 240 - 300MB of memory available
I've removed about 70 system apps/bloatware.
Calendar, Mail, WhatsApp are the only network background service processes I have running.
I'd probably delete the supplied Sony Music player on released JB version if that doesn't present any problems as I never use it.
The XPERIA S with Leaked JB seems, in general, to be very responsive with no lag, that I've noticed.
I have an XPERIA X10i v2.3 and even over-clocked it still has issues with lag. BUT, again with Neutron Music Player and a 64GB microSD card music is fine on an XPERIA X10i,
So, with music, I'd suggest, the limitation of a given Android device could be compensated with a good Music application.
I note on leaked XPERIA S JB 4.1 that the music player currently being used has focus on the lock screen and that could be Neutron Music Player or XiiaLive Internet Radio player. Very handy for quick music control of the active player directly from the lock screen.
Currently listening to music while 16 app are open (fb tweet 2 browser ecc)with neutron music player and everything looks fine for now. I want to try using walkman app to see if it's the same.
Tried gplay music and NMP with the same opened app and no stutters with nmp i'll try it for a few days thanks for the help for now

Even super low end Samsung Galaxy Y that my friend use doesn't have shuttering problem in music player. .ZZZZzzzzz
I think something is wrong with NXT series apps..
My friends Arc don't have this problem in Stock ICS but when he rooted n flashed NXT series apps like Walkman n all, music shuttering started just like my XS.. We can blame the Walkman app in my friend's case but every other music app is having shuttering problem (same as XS) since he flashed it... Something is wrong..
Precisely my point! even low end devices don't stutter (not that i know of).
I don't know who(or what) to blame though as i tried flashing cyanogen mod and p.a.c but no luck, stutter was always there no matter what.
Cheers

I recently switched from using VillianRom to MildWild 3.5.5.
I really like MildWild's ICS themed take on a stable Gingerbread core. The only problem Im having is some issues with the newer Android Music app that comes included in that rom.
I tend to do the majority of my music playing through my car stereo via bluetooth. If I use the standard HTC music app on the standard rom, or the stock android 2.3.6 music app on VillainRom then I get the song titles displayed in my car stereo. If I use ANY other music player, the display remains blank (although the music still plays OK).
I think this issue is related to the music app more than the rom, as I did once try the android 4 music app under Villainrom and noticed this didnt stream track titles across - hence I ended up going back to the default 2.3.6 player.
Im wondering now if I can somehow install the 2.3.6 gingerbread music app on the MildWild 3.5.5 rom. It might fix my issues.
Why don't you use a third-party musuc app like PowerAmp (best music app for Android imho).

I tried power amp but it doesn't stream track and artist titles via Bluetooth, so its very difficult to operate the music app using my car's steering controls and display screen. I've not found an audio app other than stock android or stock HTC players that work in this respect.

What is your opinion? I have tried Google Play Music, TTPod, PowerAmp, CloudSkipper and that leftover player from Gingerbread that nobody wants
Currently deciding between TTPod and PowerAmp. The former would be the winner if it didn't have so much freaking chinese all over it.

Well I personally like the gingerbread music player over the ICS stock music player, which is what I use (and I hate it), so I'm interested in using a different player and I can't wait to see what comes out of this post in the next few days. I usually just use Pandora when I'm at home simply because almost all the songs that play are songs that I already have on my phone, with the ugly UI for the stock ICS player.
Google Play Music here. It's very fast and smooth for me, even with 29GB of music.

Google Play Music here as well. With my music uploaded to Google Music, I don't have anything on my card anymore.
PowerAMP. The equalizer on it is excellent.
I was always under the impression that between the hardware & software of our smartphones, software equalizers are a mediocre solution at best. You can't really polish a piece of **** yanno.. maybe I just use ****ty headphones (I do) and listen to trashy music (I do), but I never had to really fine tune music coming from my phone's headphones.

Poweramp by far...however, if Google Music adds EQ and more list options like View by Folders, then I'm all in.
If you like the iPhone or iPod touch music player, you might like RealPlayer. It is not as feature rich as other players, but it's still pretty cool. Just try to forget the evil RealPlayer from the 90s.

I tried a lot of them and I got stuck with PowerAmp like many others here. The paid version is near perfect. If it has to be free I find the stock player not too bad.

I tried poweramp but I dont like how its constantly running in the background even after you close it. I didnt see a setting to disallow this.
So far Im just using the MIUI player but its a bit barebones as far as features go
Rocket Player is my fav.. has a super EQ!
Apollo if you want the apk PM me
I have tried quite a few music player and settled on Poweramp. I found once tweaked you can get good sound out of it. It is as flashy showing album art as other players. You can customize the sound to your like globally, album or track. You can have separate presets for speakers, headset and blue tooth. To the post above there is a setting not to run in background. There are a lot of settings, once tweaked it has great sound. I ended buying the pro version. My daughter loves it too. Also it will set variables in Tasker.
Everyone has their own taste and needs.

I'm currently using the JellyBean version of Google Music on my phone (he upgraded the google music player from ICS to JB in the rom I use). I like it so far, I mainly don't use other music players typically because I do not store most of my music on the phone itself.

The only solutions that comes to mind are the stuttering issue while beats (eq) is active (turn it off completely), or the CPU that is running on a too low clockrate/voltage.
Furthermore have you guys tried a hard reset ? Maybe there are some rogue apps running in the background and clogging up your memory/CPU resources.
The only time I experienced such issue was when I ran the older firmware versions with the beats stuttering bug, or when my phone didn't have enough resources left to do the job

My phone does not do this with beats active. You might need to update your phone. If you want to return it I would now as I can't imagine there will be a new software update coming out in the foreseeable future.

Seriously, it sounds awesome with Perseus audio tweaks and a little bit of tweaking within the player itself. I'm not a big fan of the UI, but it honestly just works.
The only reason I'm switching over is because PlayerPro's EQ and DSP pack were giving me issues. The "bass" knob was going...backwards.
PowerAmp is hideous IMO, but sounds good. Neutron isn't really user friendly, but it sounds epic.
Walkman is nice, but Ac!d audio along with it gave me FC's in Sound Enhancement. (Anyone know how to fix this?)
Anyway,
Perseus headphone amplification up to 63, a u-shaped EQ with +2 and -2 being the limits, negative gain on 1, stereo expansion on 6.
Mild bass/clarity adjustments in the music player, +1 on 3D, +1 on room size.
What can I say, I'm happy. My ATH-M50's suddenly have a new life.
I may flash Ac!d universal again and see how it sounds. I do feel like I can get a bit more sub-bass out of these cans.
Thoughts?
I love the stock music player. The only reason why I'm using poweramp (I like its asthetics fyi but let's ignore that for this discussion) is because of the ability to choose the folders that I want. With the stock music player, it pulls music from my dropbox and also voice recordings. With poweramp, I can prevent that which is better for me. I would use the stock music player otherwise. It also helps when I won a license key from poweramp a while back.

Since you guys seem to love it, and more to the point, use the stock player, I have a simple question.
When you open the player, say from the widget, how do you get back to a menu where you can open/switch-to a new playlist.
So far I only found that possibility when I open the app using the standard icon.
That annoyance has driven me to use apollo pro (a beefed up version of the player on CM9+ firmwares).
I have one major problem with the stock player (though it's really the os default behavior). I have a lot of music on my 64gb sd card (50gb?) and when I open the stock player it freezes while it rescans it all (about a min) - same on closing the player - very annoying. It does it every time so I use Player Pro which opens instantly for music and just use the stock player for podcasts. The other plus for me is Player Pro shows the album art on the lockscreen. I have no issues with the audio quality of either, though I also like and use the controls in Perseus stweaks.

Yeah combo of stock music and google play has replaced poweramp. Like the way google play creates playlist and stock player music squares.
Poweramp is in need of a major update. Been using it for years and its getting dated.

This. The stock music player will happily play every media file on the damn phone, not just my music.
I haven't used a SINGLE stock music player in Android ever due to this issue.
I'm a playlist user. I use iSyncr for mac to get all my music on there, it all shows up fine.
I can agree about folders though. I have used them from time to time, PowerAmp did that job pretty well.
Cant u choose wich folder to play on stock player too? I like the stock player as well.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using XDA Premium HD app
I still haven't found a third party music app better than PlayerPro. Stock music player is actually quite good (probably the best stock player I've used) but I can't customize it in the same way I can with PlayerPro. And when you combine PlayerPro with the "Equalizer" app (paid version), it's a wrap!
No one likes winamp? I've been using it on pc since I was a kid and the app seems good. Shoutcast radio is also a plus.

Ahh! That's why it was choking and scanning forever - I have no playlists and the music player interface always opened where I left it - on the Songs page/tab. If I leave the interface showing the Playlist tab, it opens without a lag! Now to add a playlist...
Ugh. Using the app to add the playlist is problematic, no impossible. I can choose individual songs to add to the playlist, but as soon as I choose "Select All" it freezes (and never completes the task). Then I tried to make the playlist with various apps but I couldn't get any to make a playlist of all songs given my directory structure (All Music > Genre > Artist > CD). Hmm... What should I call it - suboptimal? ...I finally did make a playlist with my PC version of Winamp (mounting the phone with SGS3 Easy UMS), but I'll probably keep using the Player Pro.
Thank you for that comment though as it explained my problem and gave a workaround (make a playlist with an external app), but I think I have to stick with the opinion that the stock player is poorly made... Though perhaps it would be more correct to say that the Android media scanning default behavior is just crazy bad and needs to be changed - then all the stock music apps would probably work fine. The Gallery app by the way suffers from similar problems for the same reason...
How do you get it to pull from dropbox?

.nomedia files cause the system to ignore ringtones, and then you can't use them as ringtones.

When you open the player, say from the widget, how do you get back to a menu where you can open/switch-to a new playlist. I was confused by this too. If you use the widget, open the app with the lower right icon. Using the back button, you can move between main screen, playlist screen and song screen.
I am looking for a clean and good sounding music player. I like the stock media player app layout but it shutters when playing occasionally. This bothers me some. I don't like dbPoweamp or Rocket Media player. I've tried Winamp, but it doesn't read half of my album artwork for some reason. My music is encoded in Vorbis (.ogg) at quality 8. I know it isn't my files. It's the player. The shuttering doesn't happen often, but occasionally. Also, I don't like that it uses "the" when looking under letters for albums.
PlayerPro is pretty awesome

I tried PlayerPro, and it hiccuped just as much. Then I optimized the read speed of my MicroSD by using one of the cache altering apps. I haven't heard nearly as many hiccups since.
Edit: The card was still benchmarking at almost 20 mb/s. So I don't see why this would have helped.
