Hey folks;
Since updating to Froyo last week, playlists that I have loaded to external sd using windows media player have shown the following issue. Songs in the playlist play fine, but after the file plays, it starts at the first track in the playlist and repeats this first track over and over. If I try to skip to the next track, it plays track one over and over. Repeat is not on. I'm aware there are other media/music players out there, but I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. It's a bit of a pain in the ass.

music hiccups or stops for .5 seconds
I'm getting a different problem with the music player after I upgraded to the official Rogers Froyo release.
Randomly throughout any MP3 that I play, the music will stop for half a second and then will start again. It happens on ANY app that plays MP3s including Winamp and other music players. Streaming music works fine though.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, I recently bought a Mercedes Benz A-Class 2013 with the Audio 20 CD package. The in-car hands free works great, and I'm able to play music over Bluetooth from my phone using the standard music app on my phone (I've tried both a Sony Xperia S and my HTC One). The title, album and artist of the current song is displayed fine as well.
The problem is, I only use Spotify or Audible to listen to music or audiobooks. Never the default music app.
When I try to play music over Bluetooth using Spotify, it plays the selected track for exactly 5 seconds, before it stops, and the built-in computer tells me that the Bluetooth playback is paused. No title/album/artist information is displayed either.
Does anybody know how I can fix this? I'm up for rooting my phone if that is necessary, as long as I'm able to play music from my phone using Spotify.
In the online manual to the MB car computer, the HTC One isn't one if the supported units, but my Xperia S is. Still, neither work with Spotify over Bluetooth.
I have tried to put Spotify in both online and offline mode. Neither work.
Alternatively, does anybody know of a way I could tunnel the audio output (and song information) from Spotify and "mask" it as the default music player app? (I know this is pretty far out there and if even possible, is probably very hard to do, but I'm open to any and all suggestions.)
Any help is appreciated!

I have been facing this issue on various roms and the fix is that when the phone connects to the car stereo it does that as a phone and a music device I just deactivated the phone and then the connection was stable the minute I activate phone it would drop the connection. Hope this helps

Thank you so much for your reply! I did this, and suddenly, for no reason apparent to me, it works no matter how I connect my phone to it.
To sum it up. I disconnected my phone from both the music and the telephone screen. Then I connected it to the music screen, played a song, and while playing, connected it to the phone screen. Again, somehow everything works no matter which order I connect them in now. Weird, but I'm not complaining!
Hi xda'ers
I couldn't really find another place to ask this so I thought I would try here.
When streaming music from Google music to the chrome cast I find that when the song is very long (say a live dj set mp3) and i seek somewhere to the middle all audio cuts out. Both the chromecast and the android devices both think they have buffered the new area of the song and say they are playing but no audio comes out. Furthermore if after I start a long song I wait 3-4 mins (enough time for the full 100-200MB mp3 to have fully buffered on the chromecast) then seeking works fine.
Is anyone else noticing this behavior? I also noticed that the same thing happened when streaming to the nexusQ but i ignored it because that was an unreleased product.
I have had trouble with podcasts. If GPlay Music loses the connection there's no way to reestablish it without losing my place in the podcast. However the third party app Remotecast seems to work for seeking even after having resumed a lost connection.

I noticed a very odd, and big, bug today on my Moto X. I had just got around to linking it to my cars bluetooth and noticed after I ended a call the music didn't resume. Upon opening Pandora I found the music was on fast forward and would not let me stop it. If I was to skip to another song the new song was also on fast forward. I have since tested it on another bluetooth device to rule out my cars bluetooth as the culprit, and it happened on the other device as well. I was also able to reproduce it using YouTube (so it's not a bug with Pandora). I have done a factory reset and the bug remains. I am wondering if anyone else has this or if this could possibly just be a problem with my phone?
Here is the workflow to reproduce the bug:
Connect phone to bluetooth device that supports both phone and music profiles.
Open up youtube and start watching a video (audio will play through bluetooth)
After about 15 seconds click the home button
Call someone (I called a 1-800 number)
After about 15 seconds on the phone, hang up
Now go back to youtube and press play
The video will be playing in fast forward (no audio) and there isn't a way to stop this.
Once you disconnect bluetooth you can then play the video fine
*You may have to make a phone call 2 or 3 times before this happens, but it will happen - at least on my phone.
Can others please test to see if you can reproduce it? My phone is stock and running kitkat with all apps up-to-date. I have also tested this using my Nexus 5 and it does not have this issue. I will try to record a video tomorrow to better show what is happening.
same problem
i am having the same problem, but mine doesn't appear to be connected to bluetooth just all media is fast forward with no audio.
tested so far:
1) audible
2) youtube
3) videos recorded locally stored both on SD and Local drive
4) downloaded videos
5) played on mx player pro, vlc, stock media player
I am rooted and running lollipop on my note 3 N900
Just got this baby yesterday.. Synced it via bluetooth to the car radio, went to play music from my Rhapsody app.. No problem plays beautifully..
Problem.. When I turn off the car and then fire it back up, the phone boots into another player app on the phone. Like Google Music or other's I use less frequently.. Want it to stay with the Rhapsody player unless forced to another app by me manually..
Is there an easy way to get this to work without having to jump over the moon? Probably a stupid question but if you don't ask.. Ya don't Get!
Thanks

Just updated to the Samsung Note4 from a SG5 and SG4 before that with many other Android phones.
I've been running into the issue that I can't find anyone else reporting or a resolution to and hope someone here can help.
I listen to podcast or Pandora. Unfortunately this version of Samsung Android, does not allow setting any other application as default for music or media playing.
When ever I connect through earphones, or Bluetooth the Music app automatically plays. Even when another audio app is running and when using either the earphones or Bluetooth button to pause or play will automatically start up the Music app and start playing.
I've partially stopped this by adding Bluetooth Connect & Play app from the Play Store. This is just a small fix that doesn't always work.
Interestingly enough when I turn off my car after listening to a Podcast or Pandora, I turn off the radio 1st to disconnect from the Bluetooth and also stop it from starting backup when I get in, the Phone immediately starts up the Music app and starts playing from the phone speaker.
I have already done a factory reset once.
I have contacted Samsung Support, only to be told that these features are "Samsung manufacturing design."
I have couple of options from what I can tell, Root the phone and change out the ROM with something that is close to stock but works, or Return the phone and take advantage of my 1st gen version of Jump and switch to the second phone in a year, which I am seriously debating. Might just go to the Nexus 6, maybe back to the Samsung GS5 which worked great, or join the herd and go with iPhone which really annoys me to be honest. I like being able to customize my phones which is what is really frustrating with this issue.
If anyone has any suggestions, similar experiences, or general helpful comments, its much appreciated.
Rooted the Note 4 today.
Disabled the Samsung Music app.
Set Google Play as the default music player, but the issue continues as it appears to be a Bluetooth communication issue.
What ever the default music app will respond to all Bluetooth controls, regardless if there is another music/media app running at that time.
Does anyone have a suggestion other than removing all MP3's on the phone and/or deselecting a default media app?
Thanks.

Just to post an update that others might be able to find helpful.
I found a old forum post about this exact issue on other android devices. One suggestion was an app called Media Button Router. It so far seems to be a work around for now.
