Hi, Ever since I got myself a smart phone I've always had the same problem and thats even with my S9. The problem is reguardless of whatever music player I use, Using shuffle has no concideration for what has been played and what has not.
Presumably all that happens is it'll not repeat a track while playing, But once paused/closed and told to replay the shuffle list has nothing to tell not to replay so it's easy enough to be hearing the same track regardless of how many thousands of tracks are available.
What I'm looking for (fingers crossed) is someone who would be able to create or modify a music player that when using shuffle it'll remove the track once played from the playlist so no matter what happens in turning off, pausing etc it'll never snuffle to what no longer exists on the list.
If something like that has already been made I would appreciate being pointed in the right way of finding it, It certainly gets dodgy having over a thousand tracks to listen to and end up hearing the same ones played again.
Thanks in advance <3

When you put all your music on shuffle, it will sometimes repeat the same song multiple times in the shuffle.
It doesn't take all your songs, throw them in a randow order and then don't touch that list anymore. It keeps shuffling and sometimes you get the same song 2 or 3 times very close after each other. Very annoying.
Is there a way to bypass this? And no, I don't want an other player, I love the default Sense one as it intergrates with the lock screen.
Well it is actually doing exactly what you ask it, it randomized it every time. For something to be truely random it should also allow for the same thing after each other. That is why for example random on an ipod is not truly random. (but okay this might be a bit off-topic, my apologies for that)

Really, "Shuffle" should mean play tracks in a random order, not play random tracks.
Granted, the second is the "correct" definition, but from a user standpoint, you want the first one - this is what you get on PC Media players like iTunes and Foobar.
I've been trying for days to get the defy to work i want.
I listen to audiobooks, music and podcasts, and I need to be able to control it from the headset
I tried default player, google listen, winamp, doggcatcher. And cant get the thing to work right!!
Music+ doesn't even register the button press, listen resumes and skips to next track, even if you're playing another audio in the background. Winamp on its own is fine but does not download podcasts, and doggcatcher has conflicts with winamp on the headset thing.
Has anyone find a good solution for this? it seems just the way android is built, and the lack of a good unified media player (with or integrated with podcast manager).
Such a disappointment... I was so looking for having an android phone! If I can't find a solution, it seems its not for someone like me untill they integrate things a little more tightly.
Well, it's not the Defy. And while I don't think that Android sucks at playing media I do agree with some of your points. I also listen to audio books and podcast. For the moment I'm using AudioBook Player 2 for audiobooks. It's not prefect by a long shot but it does the job. As for podcast I haven't found anything useful yet. The defaut player is suppose to play podcast but there is no way to skip through. If I have to stop listening to the podcast there is no way of getting back to were I left off. And while the device obviously play videos, and does so quite well, I haven't found any type of video player interface. The only way I can start a video is by going into the gallery and taping on the file I want to play. That dosen't seem right to me.
So yeah, I feel your frustration.

Yes, sorry. I did not meant to bash, its just that I soo wanted to love it... and I don't, and if there is no good solution I think android is not for my for now. I don't know. It has so many great things!
Thanks for your suggestions I'll look into it.
On another subject : When I listen to music, I can't do anything else (switching to landscape mode e.g.), otherwise it's really slow.
Is anybody else having that bug ? Some guy here mentioned it. But he then said he fixed it without having it deodexed. How do you fix this ?
Meridian is a media player that does most of what you want, with the possible exceptin of podcasting (don´t use it, don´t know).
It remembers where you last listened to a track, and if you switch to video (which has a library of it´s own) it still remembers where in the audio track you were when you go back to that. So actually better than WMP there... ;-)
Only thing that grinds my gears with this is an annoying bug that starts a random track when I press the button on any wired headset. If I hang up a call, or if I want to pause and then start playing in Spotify or radio, Meridian starts playing a tune in the background. I thought it was a bug I was having with my Pulse, but it´s there with the Defy as well.
A BT headset has none of these issues though.
Don't worry google is working on a multimedia improvement......soooonnnn soon, also has anyone tried poweramp
I listen to long audio files on my music player going to and from work. I am new to the Dinc2 and have noticed that if I am part way through a track when I get to work, the music player resets to the beginning of the track when I go to listen again at the end of the day. These are long files - sometimes a track is 30 - 50 minutes long - so it is a pain to find my place again. Does anyone know how to prevent this?

Maybe try a different player,I don't know of it has out or noir bit Apollo of the play store is a good one,try it...
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Is it the stock player? I think the Google and Android player limits amount of time it can be active. Like said above Apollo is cool. Also GoneMad is fairly lightweight n has tons of options, but only a 14 day trail period. Tons of other players out there.
Yes, it is the stock player. I will try Apollo, and some others, and see how it goes. Thanks
Music Folder Player
So I tried a bunch, and finally landed on Music Folder Player. It keeps track of my place in the track, even through a full reboot, and has scads of options. So far the free version seems fine.
So I've been using Pocket Casts as a podcast player for a while now, and I've never had any issues until switching to the LG G3 (T-Mobile variant).
When I try to play any podcast with .m4a, the podcast will play normally, but the moment I try to use any seeking commands (forward, rewind, pause) the seeker will jump around.
For example, if I pause at 14:53, and then try to restart again, it could randomly jump to 1:10. The same thing happens when I try to forward or rewind.
Curiously, I've noticed that with rewinding and forwarding, they seem to prefer certain time spots. Like if I spam the rewind button, it will constantly go to a certain time period.
If you want to test this yourself, you can try downloading "The Rooster Teeth Podcast" or "The Patch Podcast" on any podcast player, as I know those two use the .m4a format.
To make sure it wasn't the player, I tried downloading podcast addict, which gave the same issue. I also downloaded an earlier episode of the Rooster Teeth Podcast which was an mp3 file, and it played with no issues.
Has anybody else encountered this issue, and does anybody have a fix?
I'd like to bump this seeing as I'm not the only one with this issue. I too tried using other podcast players to play the RT Podcast/Patch, all of them would skip ahead several minutes. They would also refuse to seek past the 45 minute mark or something around there.

Got the same problem with podcast addict. The developer wrote me, that the app is using the internal player. After testing the internal player with m4a files, i can confirm that the issue persist.
I also wrote the LG support about this issue and the answer was: LG does not official support m4a! WTF?
Alternative 1: Use 3. party player. But I didn't find a good one. Only VLC was playing the file but stops audio files if the screen is off.
Alternative 2: Use mp3 feed instead of m4a.

Pretty bummed out about this.

Is anyone else having an issue getting this to work? I have it enabled but it's not showing in anything on the ambient screen or when the phones unlocked. Tried playing popular songs off Spotify.

Doesn't seem to work if it's the phone playing the music. Needs to be external. Works great when playing music in my truck
Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk
i dont even show the option to turn it on. I know its in sound>advanced underneath emergency broadcast. But not there
works for me... but it's slow to respond. from one song to another i noticed it took about half the new song before the old song disappeared and the new song reappeared on the screen
i've disabled this feature. for (paranoid) me, the security concerns of an always listening mic combined with the lackluster response of the feature itself, and the fact that i can use soundhound to determine the songs i want to know (which isn't every single song that is playing) make it not a worth while feature to utilize. it's nifty, but not worthwhile imho.
works fine for me.
here is some explanation about how it works...

Works OK for me, but it takes at least 30 seconds to recognize songs. I was playing the music on a different device.
