So I use Google Play music for my songs with n play, select, and skip tracks with the widget. It used to work fine but now it often pauses the song when I press the menu square on the widget, shows a loading circle, and then takes me to the menu. This is hurting my workout. Is this firmware issues, a bad update, or BC I pulled my SD card without unmounting it recently (that's where ALL my songs are)?

I personally don't thinks its any issue with your SD card.. Best way to find out if it is.. Is by playing it on the stock music player or another music.. And it sounds like it might be an app issue
Its with the most recent update of Google Play Music.

I'd personally jjust switch to something else, I use now playing music player has a good shuffle options for playlist and music it just seems know how to pick the favorite or genres correctly compared to poweramp
yea, turns out its just the update, as I switched back to the factory widget and it works perfectly.

I've done some searching around here and the market, and I can't seem to find a solution any where. I'm looking for a way to put music controls in the notification pull down bar? I think it would be convenient instead of having to switch apps or add one of those pop-up apps. Thanks.

Hmm. Also interested.
I believe some music apps have this built in, but it would be nice to have a system wide version
Bumping this out of curiosity as well. I was playing with my phone and listening to music and realized how beneficial this would be to have...
Although I haven't been able to find a ROM/App that does it yet...

MixZing does this. It also plays videos.
I'm using the incredible does sense desire port right now, and HTC has added a pause button to the pull down menu along with album art. It's very useful, but I still think that a skip button would be a plus.

Just tried mixzing and I'm not seeing notification controls.
I was really looking for a skip too, not just pause. I may have to try the HD port now tho.

I recently bought an album off of the market place. When I went to play the newly bought music it informed me that I needed to upgrade my music player. I selected to upgrade and it took me to the app called google music. Clicked to download and install. Program downloads then acts like it's installing but installs an app called "music" and the google music install process just hangs.
I tried removing my sd card, wifi on/off, restarted and still no luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'm now stuck with a new album that i'm not able to listen to on my phone.

"Music" is Google Music. Its labeled different once in your app drawer

Honestly I think they both suck but if I had to choose between those two it would be Apollo. Google music caches random things I never asked it to and doesn't cache what I want it to. I use doubletwist.
BOTH
At the same time!!!!!!!!

I think PlayerPro is the best music app, I even payed for it. Pure White theme is amazing
I prefer Apollo, but I have both just in case I want to play music from the cloud.

That's not what was asked... apollo or google play or gtfo... I don't like either, but apollo sucks way less than google play music.....
Google play music, just because of the cloud (only on wifi, not 3g) and the default settings are perfect for car audio. I've played with the Apollo just couldn't find anything that makes it stand out from the abundance of music players on the market.

Apollo is garbage, I was just giving another suggestion because they are obviously not the only music apps. Gtfo? Ok
I use Apollo with the Black theme. I can't say I love it, but it plays music and has the "Hold volume UP to skip" feature... which is really all I need (I use Shuffle All while jogging and it's nice being able to skip a song I dont want to hear without needing to even look at my phone). Last time I checked the Volume UP skip didn't work with Play Music.
I do wish Apollo would get an update with more features, neater UI, and do better with album art.

And that would make sense if he asked for music players other than google now and apollo.... but he didn't so ur point is invalid....

Ok fine
I use Apollo, not because I like it but because I don't feel like downloading any other player.

I prefer neither. I use rocket player. Organizes music and podcasts better than anything I've used so far.

As long a Google music keeps the cloud service, it can't suck. Besides being able to customize the equalizer, organize music, and how it looks what more could you want out of the millions of music apps?

They both suck. Poweramp is the best music player. Period.

I used the Amazon mp3 could app, and but since they limited it to 250 songs I think I'll switch to Google music.

If it's only used for cloud then it's ok. I live out west so when I leave urban areas service its spotty so I have to have music on the phone as well. Google music doesn't cache what I tell it to. It just caches random things so because of that I say it sucks.
Power amp could be good. It has a lot of features but the interface sucks.
you save music for offline mode before you leave the house. Google Music because of the free cloud service.

Of course. But it doesn't save what I tell it to. It saves random songs.

I have a question regarding the twiz music player. I'm on jellyb and somehow my stock music player or the Walkman can't "see" some of my music even thought they're in mp3 format. I've tried renaming the damn songs and they still don't pop up. I am able to play them using es explorer and having it play through stock app but it's just not popping up. Any ideas of how I could fix this?

If you just put on phone you might need to rescan media. There are apps in play store to force a rescan. Then I had a problem in the past where a app was creating a .nomedia file so the media scanner skipped that folder.

Almost like deja vu. Having the same issue in either the stock music player or Play Music. Just moved over to Note 2 from S3 and didn't have this happen on S3. Tried unmounting and mounting external SD card so as to force a rescan, no dice.
So i just rebooted the phone, went to Music Player and it's blank, says i have no music on phone. While contemplating what to do next (including downloading a re-scan media app from the market) i just let it alone and a minute later all my music started showing up and populating. I guess it took its sweet time to re-scan or get it's head right.

Only other couple things off the top of my head would be go to settings and application manager find the music player and try clearing data. My guess is that won't work since it's multiple players. Other thing I know some songs I downloaded from a mp3 app before didn't show until I updated the id3 tag for some reason. The ones that didn't show had a bunch of garbage in the id3 mostly random symbols. Once they got corrected they started showing up for me. But that was when I had my epic touch. Hope it works for ya.

I need to ask, is any body else annoyed that when you add a song onto a playlist in the play music app it goes All the way to the bottom to the playlist. So you have to scroll all the music to reach the latest song you added onto the playlist. Is there a solution to this, is it just me?
YES!!! So annoying. However, I used to use DoubleTwist and it did the same thing.
So you're saying that the app is adding songs to your playlist in the same order that you added them?! Must be a bug.
I like my apps to randomly order things without my input...

No, but i much rather be given the option to arrange my songs from recently added, down to oldest. It is much better then scrolling through 50+ songs just to hear the latest one i added to my playlist. Play music used to order songs like this but at some point it changed. The option would be nice.

Agreed.
This and the fact Google Music doesn't have a podcast subscription feature are my two biggest complaints.
I though it could be adjusted online? I mean, it sucks to have to do that but I'm sure they'll get it sorted out. I'll have to logon my computer (what's that??) and see if I can reorder a playlist.

I've looked all thru my library on my computer and can't seem to find where to re-order the playlist.
