This should go in the Q&A thread and I hope the respective moderator does shift it there.
Anyhow, I'm facing the same problem you're. Whenever I access the library part of the app, it crashes. It also happened with the old mobile I had. So I don't think it's device specific.
Try the new Google Play Music..from Nexus 6..with material interface.
It should work..i think

Lol no! You don't have any problems with your handset. It's just that probably the playstore is buggy. Don't worry about, just use another player for now. I recommend poweramp

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)
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
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.
After updating to xxlsa, my music player duplicates the files on my external sdcard. Any fix on this?

I have tried unmounting my sdcard, clearing data for media storage and music player but yet no changes. Any help will be appreciated.

hi, it's strange ..
I am still with LS7, I have not tested yet.
but I had a similar problem with ics, it was infact google music and its cache ..
test reading your duplicate songs with the stock player, if the duplicate song will not open, it is almost certain that it comes from gMUSIC ...
Otherwise, if you're on they are copied to your external sd, have you tried to delete, reboot and see if you still have the problem?
ps: you're not in the right section, here is themes and applications

Yeah. On ICS I had same problem but the duplicate didn't work. But unmounting sdcard and clearing data for media storage solved the problem. But on XXLSA both the duplicate and original are playing just fine.
Edit: I deleted one of the duplicated media files and it rendered the other useless, i.e. the music player could not play it.

I am on lsa and i dont have any such problem
And i even have google music installed
Maybe one question too much, but I put it anyway
The system with with builtin sdcard and a separate ext_card are driving me nuts.
I am not asking about to put apps in ext_card, my question is how to use it.
Movies is easy, the movieplayer founds the movies in my ext_card. So does as well the Album app - it founds all my pictures.
But what about the music-app???
Sony delivers the amazing Walkman-app but it does not support files stored in the ext_card??
I can easily fill my phone with 10 Gig music.
Don't tell me to use Spotify or Google Musik - I already does.
Sometimes I want to listen offline on my own special music - and I want to store it on the ext_card!
One weird thing;
I installed Spotify as specified in this forum - it stores the offline music on the ext_card.
I did an initial sync to check that everything worked well (with the latest Spotify update)
Actually, my Walkman app found that music!
But it does not find anything later on.....
How to use the ext_card in best way??
All my music is my external card and the walkman reads it fine...just clear the data in walkman app and media scanner from settings and wait for the media scanner to find it all again.
EDIT
And also check that you do not have any .nomedia files in those folders, otherwise the media scanner bypasses them
Tried to clear out data in Walkman app but no success. Where do I find "mediascanner"?
I have checked the .nomedia issue

At least consistent. Nothing found on the ext_card. No movies, no pictures and no music.

Im on Existenz 2.0.0 with root and unlocked BL
when i listen to music the walkman app automatically pauses every 4 mins and i make sure that i cleared all recent apps and that i dont use any force close ram mangers
i posted this in the thread of the rom but no one helped me so im hoping that anyone could help me here
Pauses or stops and needs to be reopend again?
Because I have'nt seen any reports about the walkman application pausing everytime but I do know about the RAM problems of the SP where the Walkman app gets closed.

also the ram problems occur when people browse and listen to music but i listen to music while my phone screen is off
Do you have to restart the song from the beginning or has it seleted another one? If so then it might me closed due to RAM problems.

Well sometimes you cant help it. It is a known issue with this device.
You can always wipe data of the walkman application and test again.

You could try a factory reset of that ROM and test the walkman app without any other applications to see if it is app related or not.

I also experienced such glitches with music interruptions, i'm using walkman and V4A when using my phone as mp3 player. I found SOME SORT of solution and that its -- UNINSTALL ANY SD CARD TWEAKS such as SD read ahead speed or set it to device default. I suspect that maybe the tweak isn't needed coz i'm using Class-10 SDcard and applying such tweaks might be "SUPERFLOUS" and thus causing issues with music playback.
But then if still you get no better results...last option would be to USE ANOTHER ROM and uninstall the later. Just my opinion:fingers-crossed:

Ok here is a weird issue, R1 prime varient, rooted, bootloader unlocked, Ads gone and OTA disabled, 64GB sd card as adoptable storage, anyhow everytime i reboot the device the following apps just disappear and I have to reinstall from play store, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint also MX Player. Microsoft Outlook and OneNote survive, it's just the 4 apps and it happens each time. Any suggestions??

Yes they default to sd, i will reinstall and move to internal to see if they stick, thanks
It could be a corrupt SD card. Try copying something from your PC to the SD card. Reboot the phone and see if the files are still there.
Once I moved those 4 apps back to internal they survived several reboots. I'll keep an eye on other apps. But my guess is those apps just don't like being installed to SD
For some reason whenever I put the Spotify app on my SD card it causes the cache to be wiped. I could understand this happening when I first place the app on the SD card, but it seems like every time the app is closed in memory id have to log back into spotify and "re-download" my songs. It doesnt happen on the main storage so im guessing its a problem with the phones firmware.

I'm guessing the apps just don't handle adoptable storage, some apps refuse to install to SD for that reason,but if SD card is formatted for adoptable and you migrate and set SD as default, the apps install to SD. So my guess is not all apps are hip to marshmallows implementation of SD as internal. Either way it's frustrating, lol

Spotify storing your music in Cache instead of Data is a horrible flaw of Spotify, not Android. Why would you do that?

Spotify isn't storing music as cache. It stores it as data but when the cache is wiped you have to re-sign into Spotify. The song would download fairly quick after I would sign in and download my playlists. Something is clearing the cache for Spotify while it's on the SD card. (btw the SD is mounted to run as "internal storage".) While spotify is located on the actual internal storage it works just fine. I don't know if it's an issue with the stock rom or spotify.

It shouldn't be storing your credentials in cache either! Any long term stored information should be in data. Cache is only for temporary storage that it's safe to wipe in between running instances of the app. Things like temporary download files, etc.

Just cleared the cache. It doesn't seem to store login credentials as cache so it's definitely something to do with spotify. I don't want to put spotify on my SD card and potentially have to re download all my songs. Either way it's only a minor annoyance. I'll try to mount the SD not as internal storage and see if that works.

It doesn't happen to other apps on my SD card so yeah it's really strange. So maybe spotify is broken. Although I am on the beta app of spotify so that may be the cause
Well it's been over two weeks those four apps have survived this long, and I have had no issues with any other apps I have installed. So I am going with my original theory, those apps just plain don't like being installed to SD, even if it's formatted as adoptable storage.
