[Q] Music app crashes when opened - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Am I the only person having this problem?
I can play music via the music widget, but once I go into the app, the app completely freezes and responds to no input. The app crashes sometimes and I have sent HTC log reports.
Is it my SD card? 64gb San Disk.
Though, this morning I was driving and the Car app was able to navigate through my music collection with no issue whatsoever.

Have you tried clearing data for the app?

Nope. Doesn't help at all.

Mine does that sometimes after I flash a rom, it did it when I first turned it on. I think wiping cache and dalvik fixes it.

This is really killing me. My phone MUST play music, and I don't want to install another music app -_-
I like HTC's widget too.
The app is still closing. I cleared data, force closed the app, the widget, and sound enhancer. Still Doesnt respond. Is this an issue or just me?
I'm running barebones app.

Barebones Rom, sorry.

I'd try another ROM. No crashes here.
Keep in mind I have had problems with some devices that music with weird
Meta data crashed a player.
Try copying a couple albums to internal SD card.
Then remove SD card and clear data on music app.
First thing music apps do is go read all your meta data it can find.
There are some nice tools out their I've used to clean up meta data.
Like a weird font/character set in track titles can break some players.

Poweramp duplicating songs!

I have an HTC Raider from Rogers and I installed PowerAmp on it. After it completes the library scan, it shows every song twice. However, when I open up the stock music app, everything looks normal. All of my music is currently stored on the external SD card. I did try moving all of the music over to the internal SD and poweramp only showed the music files once. However, I don't want my music eating up all the space on my internal sd.
Anyone else encountered this problem and possibly have a solution?

Never had this problem... that's odd. Maybe you could contact the dev of that app. Many of them are really good about resolving issues with users.

I will try contacting them. Thanks!
PowerAMP's library management seems to be a bit rubbish. It wouldn't read about half of my Japanese ID3 tags, nor 1/4 of my Korean ones... It's a bit of a disaster.

I also have an HTC Raider from Rogers and have the exact same problem.
Did you ever hear back from the developers about this?
Have you tried making sure that ONLY your music folder is getting scanned (by manually selecting it in the settings), then going into the advanced settings and initiating a full wipe/rescan?
I'm on a Rogers Raider and have never had this problem, so it's a shot in the dark. Been using PowerAmp for over a year across three phones.

Yes, I made sure that only the music folder is scanning. But still having the same problem, Please someone help me. :crying:
Using Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2
I had this problem, uninstall it, clear your dalvik cache, reinstall it, select only your music folder, double check that you don't actually have duplicate files :laugh:
Hi,
try this:
Open Settings in powerAmp > Folders and Library > Music Folders (scroll down & down to make sure you select only 1 Folder where your music is stored).
that fixes mine. Hope that fixes your problem.
Maybe have a closer look
I have the Nexus 4, too and just solved the problem.
The first thing I did when acqiring Poweramp was de-selecting everything but the "music" folder.
But then I noticed that there was not only a folder of that name in /storage/emulated/0, but also in /storage/emulated/legacy, which was still selected, causing the problem.
Deselected the second one and everything worked fine
duplicate songs
the dual listing of songs files etc is usually caused by the app scanning dual paths. Set your app to only scan one folder for your music.

It can take a while for media scanner to finish - how long did you wait before checking?
Not long enough. Now everythings fine. Thank you very much.

That's ok - I spent some time trying to track similar issues down myself; turned out that some of my .mp3 files had bad ID3 tags....

My google music works fine. And does it really take longer to uninstall/reinstall then it does to make a thread and wait for a reply? Or does this happen often and you have to uninstall/reinstall? Cause like I said, Google Music has no problems for me. However, I'm using a slightly older version (4.1.512) that's was modded to be transparent - don't know if the newest version might have issues?
I'm using 4.1.513 with no issues.
Mine works fine,but i added my own music and only play music at home on wifi normally.Never had any problems with it not showing.

I would try uploading my local music to google music.You can them make your google music available offline as well.
Do you have a custom ROM? Did this problem start with an upgrade such as ICS? I have ICS on a stock, unrooted Vivid. The Google Music app is 4.1.513. As soon as I started it, it found all my local music on the SD card as well as albums on my internal storage I had recently purchased and downloaded from Google. I don't mess with streaming music, so if that is what you're doing, maybe someone else can help you.

Same sd card? If so try reformatting it (backup important stuff, format card, replace important stuff)

This happens to me, too. The easier workaround than uninstall/reinstall is to locate the Google Play Music app under Settings/Apps and clear data.
Then use the Google Music app and go through the usual stuff. Your local music files will be there when you're done.
I know it's not a fix, but it's a better workaround than reinstalling the app.

[Q] Poweramp suddenly crashes on my Note

Hi, I have purchased poweramp and installed on my Note, the app suddenly stops playing music and you can press play but nothing will happen, you have to close it with app manager and then it keeps playing music.
I'm also using voodoo louder. I'm on GB. What could it be the problem?
P.D. I have already tried to uninstall it and reinstall

Uninstall it then reboot the phone then reinstall. If it still does not work you might have to install another GB rom for it to work.

Do these require the default apps

On my gear I noticed that the quick reply feature for text messages does not work unless you are using the stock app I the note 3. Also the media controller did not work with any app other than the Samson music app. Did I configure something wrong or is that the way it is designed?

can't talk about text replying, but 3rd party music players works for me.
i'm using poweramp and i am able to control music using my gear. it doesn't show albumart though.
just make sure you do not have more than 1 music player installed, as sometimes it goes crazy and it will control music through samsung app...

dont know with the messages, but for the media controller i got a dirty fix that works well in my case.
i only use spotify for music, and a audiobook player app, so i simply froze the stock music app with titanium backup and now it works like a charm for my other apps.
the funny thing was that before i froze it, i could control other audio apps, but i had to first push a button on the media controller, then go to the phone and kill the stock music app, after that it recognized the other audio app..
hope this helps :good:
