Problem recording audio while playing music - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I love the new Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, but I must be missing something, because I cannot do audio recording and music playback at the same time (using the voice recorder small app). When I press on the record button, the background music app stops, so does youtube videos, or movies apps, etc. My previous phone was the Xperia TL (the old James Bond one) can record audio at the same time with any background music playing, even if I play over bluetooth in the car. Anyone know why this happens? Are there settings anywhere that cause this error? I want to record voice and play background at the same time. I really hope this is not a default function because it seems like a ridiculous step-back. T_T. I really want to sing to my songs... ^_^
Emma,

[Q] how to record voice while listening music

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to record voice while listening to music at the same time?
To hear how terrible I sing
I have headphones with mic. and I use GingerDX v022 + alfs v07.
I play music in player and start sound recorder, but when I press record music stops.
I guess it should be possible since while in call my side (mic) can be recorded, even without any special kernel driver, and you have sound in headphones at the same time
anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks
ok, I found a solution.
I downloaded 2 free voice recording apps (Voice recorder, Tape-a-talk) from market, and with them it works.
It seems it only doesn't work with built in GingerDX Sound Recorder.

[Q] Music is not gapless

Hello fellow xda-ers.
Got my Xperia Z and loving everything about it except for 1 thing.
I got an iMac and ofcourse all of my music is in iTunes. Now the issue I have..
Alot of my electronic music albums (trance) are gapless on my iPhone, apple tv and iMac. But when listen to them on the Xperia Z, there is a half second gap between songs, which is very annoying for mixed-trance cd's (for example Above & Beyond)
I've looked in the settings of the walkman app, but couldn't find a setting.
Does anyone else have this problem? And should I try another music app? I'm using the stock walkman app from Sony.
Update:
I just tried Poweramp and Winamp. All of my gapless albums are gapless! Shame, cause I like the clean interface of the Sony Walkman app.

Bluetooth audio quality different depending on mp3 player app used?

I have my z1 setup in my car to play music via bluetooth into the car stereo.
With the sony walkman app, the stereo correctly shows the artist/song information and sounds pretty good.
However, if i use power player, the bluetooth sound quality seems noticeably worse and the stereo doesn't show the song information.
Has anyone else noticed this?
The reason i want to use powerplayer is because the walkman app, annoyingly doesn't' read the 'album artist' tags in songs, so it catalogues the music in a bizarre way if it is all correctly tagged.
Power player reads it properly and sorts via album artist.
I have all EQ + sounds effects turned off in both players and phone menu.
I'm using stock 4.4.4

[Q] How to keep music streaming over BT while using camera?

How can I prevent the camera application from interrupting music playback? I can't record videos while continuing to stream audio over AUX or BT.
Using camera while streaming music will work for taking photos, BUT to record videos, they assume you want to record sound with your video, so that's why the streaming stops. You can always play music from an external source when making your music videos.

I know I can play from an external source but that would defeat the point of keeping everything on my phone- Lets say I'm having a small party and I'm streaming music from my phone over BT and then decided I want record a video, obviously I'm not going to want the music turning off for the whole party because I decided to record a video. Or another example, my little nieces & nephews were over this past weekend and were dancing to music I was playing from my phone over BT and since I have a Note 4 & always is the best camera in the room for recording videos, I'm asked to record with my phone. If they are dancing to music playing over my phone and then I record a video of them & its turns off the music, which I also want in the video, then it makes the video pointless.
I would find it extremely strange if there isn't a 3rd party app to allow this, a setting to adjust, a work-around or a Wanam xposed option to allow this.
I can't be the ONLY one with this issue lol

i guess no one else has tried to record a video while using their phone as a music player. we must be the crazy ones -_- ...seeing as that no one else was going to be of any help, had to resolve this one myself. i remember i used poweramp exclusively back in the day on my cyanogenmod g2 because compared to the stock music player it had a better interface, a ton more feautures & settings, better eq, better file mgmt, better interface & music actually played better through this app (with eq mods). I stopped using it when i got the first galaxy s as it had a bug like many things had a bug on that phone.
i just download the latest Version of Poweramp & I am blown away- it has come a long way and in my few minutes using it, I already love it again and will be using it as my primary music player. And it fixed my problem, I'm able to taking pictures & videos now without interrupting music playback. (setting for it)
any updates on this?
I to have the same issue where my kids are dancing to music I'm streaming and would love to video them doing they're crazy moves to the music.
Best bet is have the dev who rom you are using mod the camera ? apk and you are good. Every rom is different. Also someone did this already you just gotta look.
