Ever since I updated my device to KitKat I noticed that the stock music player skips the end of the song and starts a new one without me pressing next. I have factory reset, and wiped the cache partition as suggested by a Samsung tech support (even though I think that they don't know what they are doing, but I give them credit for trying ?). I have tried different players and the songs do play all the way on those but not the stock player. I would prefer to fix the stock player because I'm used to it and really don't like the other players, but if i don't have any options then I guess I'm out of luck. Btw, I'm running stock 4.4.2 TW not rooted. Any help you be appreciated, thanks.

I am having the exact same problem. It's only for a specific few of songs and I can predict it when I hear a song that I know does it. This has been happening to me since before the kitkat update. Anyone one else having this problem or know a fix?
I have had the same issue. It's the music file. The file wasn't 1. Downloaded properly 2. The file wasn't uploaded fully to start with.

Well I forgot to add this in my post. If I seek through the song and get close to where it skips it does not skip the ending.
I also tried using a different music player, the play music app, and it too skipped as well.
Are you dowbloading from an app or buying the song?

I'm downloading them off my computer and putting them on through the "Easy Phone Sync" application. It allows you to copy songs from your iTunes to your phone. I've tested to see if its just the actual file and the song does not skip on iTunes.
Try to copy them straight from your PC to your phone

Try what serio said. I could be wrong but im almost positive the file is being corrupted in the transfer to your phone

Temporary solution
I m using Nexus 5, Android 5.0.1 and I discovered something yesterday relating to this issue.
Play Music skips last few seconds of song and that always annoys me. But I found a temporary way to correct it.
While you are playing a song on Play Music, click Multi-Screen Soft button (next to Home soft button) and remove Play Music from stack of apps. In my phone, even though the app is removed from stack of apps, it still appears on notification ( top right corner of the screen) Now, pull down the home screen to go to notification and play the music from there. This solves the skipping of music.
I havent tested in other phones, but it works well on mine.
I have this problem too on my one touch evolve 2 running 4.4.2
Stock music player skipping...
My problem is a bit different from the ones above. I'm on a Galaxy 5 Kit Kat. The stock music player will skip the FIRST few seconds of tracks. Not all, but about 50% of them. Does not do it on the Google Player. Synced from WMP. Always worked with my Galaxy 3.

I have almost 500 songs, and love not having to think about what song is on what device, but for some reason every other song is from the same few albums when shuffling. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yep, same here. I have 700+ songs and a lot of songs get repeated. I just bought power amp and its WAY better than any music player out there. Check it out.

Try wiping cache for music. Also make sure you dont have any other google music app on your phone.
I've got over 19,000 songs and have never had a problem with Google Music.
I have almost 20gigs of music and it'll play the same few songs over and over
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
20K songs and I get the same 5 songs playing back to back every few hours plus many of the same songs play several times during my 8 hours at work.
Irritating!
Google Music has been a disappointment from the beginning. The album image resolution looks like crap. They reduce everything to 128k bitrate for streaming, the only way to play is to use playlists or to set up a queue. Trying to stream over wireless is pointless. Pandora, Tune-In and Amazon player are fine, Google Music only works for me on wifi (no wimax here)
I navigate to what I want and hit play. This is apparently the old fashioned method because the big players don't really work that way. They want you to have a (mocking voice)-library and playlists. So I end closing the app in frustration.
Anyway, sorry to go on like that. I'm not a fan.
Effin google still hasn't fixed this issue. I've heard the same sh*t over 20 times now.
The shuffle in the new play music app is even worse. Never actually shuffles.

I was looking forward to using the ICS stock music player, but for some reason the latest google music player does not work well with my bluetooth stereo. I cannot pause music via the controls, i can only play. It also does not support avrcp 1.3/1.4, which is strange since google music from the market DID on my droid x.
I have tried getting poweramp, but i have had my phone restart 3 times since installing it and have now uninstalled it.
I tried downloading winamp, but with the bluetooth controls enabled in the app, the stock music player overrides it and and it seems like winamp needs to be updated for ICS.
Playerpro's settings do not work in ICS and I cannot even get to the menu to enable music controls.
Does anyone have a solution for this? It is strange, as I thought google would have sorted this out by now.
I use playerpro, works fine for me, has did since I got the phone.

I love PowerAmp, still the best music player in my opinion.
I get my Nexus tomorrow. Is there anyone else having problems with it? I've really been counting on Poweramp working.
No problems here. PowerAMP is amazing.
I have Mortplayer on my GN.
so it looks like it might not be poweramp. it could by a bug. If you look here at post 3, http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12773-random-shutoffs/ you will see a guy links to 3 threads that talk about restarts happening when some type of sound is happening..
so it might be a bug in ICS
Mortplayer works great with ogg files over Bluetooth in stereo. I've been using Mortplayer all the way back to the Windoes Mobile days. It's lite and funcctional.
PowerAmp!!
Custom rom and been through several kernels, Power Amp has been great since I first loaded it on the stock phone.

Since the last update, google music player will just stop playing. i will be in the middle of an album (local) and it just will stop playing. It wont change songs or albums. It just goes dead until it decides to work again...any1 else having this issue?
I have seen this and I believe I have read other reports of it as well. It started after the last update. I have rolled back to the previous version.

I'm having the same issue. Thought it was just a conflict with the custom Rom I'm using. But I hear people are having the same issues on stock Jellybean too. So it has to just be the app.
They really need to fix this, I'm having the same issue. Music just stops out of the blue and doesn't want to start back.
same issue here.. I've been using Pandora until the next update.. I may just roll mine back if they take to long to get this issue fixed..

Google Music stops after three songs
I'm using Google Music for streaming. It stops after three songs and won't work again until I reboot. I'm using the Odex Blue Rom, latest version 1.7. I deleted the application from the system using Root Explorer and then downloaded it as an app. It still stops. I agree it must be the application as Pandora will play and not stop. It's a real pain because now I have to move my songs down to the S3 and find another player. So much for the cloud!
****SOLUTION****
DOWNLOADED old Google Play Music and it works. Deleted the version I have on my S3 (the latest version from the Google Play store). Googled "Google Music Player apk" and found a 4.1 version. Downloaded the 4.1 apk and installed. It worked. Played for over one hour with no stops from the Google cloud. Then I went back to Google Play Store and said download the latest version. But all I wanted to do is check the box that says don't automatically update and then I closed the install. I don't know how to get it not to automatically update any other way.
I've been having this issue also, sort of. I lose sound when playing music from rocket player or music player, song time counter keeps moving but no sound. Just out of curiosity are you guys having problems with other players or just Google streaming? I had this issue even before 4.1.2.
Okay, so today I was listening to music, on my totally stock GS III. Suddenly the music switches through to the speaker, instead of going to my headphones. The first time this happen, it was when a song ended and a new song came on Google Music. The second time was when my friend texted me. My phone was on vibrate only. Obviously, this can be quite embarrassing especially when you are in a quiet zone. I checked to make sure the notification bar still had the headphone logo. I'm using regular no mic headphones. This happened earlier, is there anyway I can still logcat? Like doesn't it save all that until reboot? I don't even remember if I rebooted yet...probably..
Anyways, yeah, I tried searching, but I came up with threads on bluetooth and speakers just not working or crackling. So I think I might be the only one..?
Thanks for the help.
Only thing I can think of is maybe your headphone port is losing connectivity with your 3.5mm jack and it thinks no headphones are present?

1. background advertisements. Use adaware
2. poor installation/settings check google music and the app settings. worst comes to worst go to manage apps clear data, uninstall and re-install in market
It happened to me once or twice with google music player. Actually, since JB, google music is full of bug on my side, it randomly hangs on song switching, this bug, low volume bug until I pause and press play. Tried clearing cache/data, uninstalling couple of times, and no go.
I've given up on it and am now using rocket player with cloud music importer. I was never streaming anyway but I liked the google music interface... oh well
I'm on a stock based jellybean ROM rooted

Yes but the usual behavior is that when headphones are pulled out, it pauses the music.

I'm not sure what the advertisements have to do with the audio problem, but I do use ad blocker. I have tried flashing back to stick through kies and odin.

I have the same issue but I use rocket music player. But the worst issue I have is when I'm listening to music and someone calls me, after the call it puts full speaker volume out my headphones and blows my ears out. I would definitely be interested in a solution otherwise I will be going back to ICS myself; especially since I can't run Adobe Flash on web pages anymore.

I'll add to this I've had the same issues with my rooted stock JB from my google play player so I just switched players to power amp full version player and I could not be any happier!
Has happened to me twice in class. Was listening to a song in google music, song ended and the next one came on, except this time coming out of the speaker. Very embarrassing!

Recently read in a different forum that changing LPAplayer from true to false I think in the build.prop is a solution.... Can't remember where I read it, couldn't find it in history, probably was on my other machine...
Been looking into this more. Seems like more people are having this problem. Some suggest downgrading google music, some say the 11/12 update is bad, some say LPAplayer or something needs to be disabled, using default samsung player, which reminds me today I installed Pandora which happened to do the same thing so it must be touchwiz and it only happens on JB. Not trying to change my phone to CM10, thats a no for me. Has anyone found a real solution?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I have Android Revolution HD ROM
and for some reason sometimes it will play music and other times it wont.
Pandora works 100% of the time.
But the music player will play music maybe 20% of the time.
I have to keep clicking forward or rewind continuously for it to play the song I want (which only works if it's the only song in the queue, or else hitting forward and back multiple times skips it to other songs)
Anyone else having this problem?
It's really irritating and I have everything else that works besides that.
Thanks!
Not exactly the same problem you're having but, on google play music, often if I play a song and press the back button the song will stop and start all over again. I'm using insert coin but had it on arhd too. Might be a bug in the app.

You are correct, after some investigation, I have found out that HTC Music app is kinda bugged with custom ROMs I believe.
Or just mine.
Google Music works fine.
But I really like the HTC Music because it downloads album art and lyrics!!!
how awesome!
I really wanted it
okay after more update, it works sometime with Google Play?
Wow this thing is really buggy...
Anyone have a custom ROM without these music problems??
Why not download PlayerPro. Does the same thing and imo is better and more customisable.
If you install the Harman Kardon mod, you must also install the firmware.
Just reflash the ROM and don't select that mod.
