Using MXpro on s3samsung tablet. Want it to stop playing backing track after each song. How? With Band in the Box tracks it will stop but with downloaded tracks it loops or goes to next track. Downloaded free app," Music Folder Player"and it does it.... but would like the one I paid for to do it.

Has anyone else noticed that with either Windows Media Player or the HTC Audio Manager, it will always use the same shuffle order? Doesn't this defeat the purpose? Anyone know how to get it to "reshuffle" with every play. I am getting tired of hearing my play lists in the same order everytime.

Amen, thought I was the only one who noticed this!
Yes, surprising isn't it. Even a using a search on all forums didn't turn up this same question. I think this is true for Wondows Media Player on all devices, or at least the one's I have owned. Would be nice is HTC could provide a shuffle option that actually shuffles with the Audio Manager. Perhaps they should call it "Reorder" instead of "Shuffle".
Just searched and this is the only thread I could find on this problem.
My media player doesn't actually play the library in folder order, but seems to shuffling only a few songs on the list.
Is playing them from the library the only option? - you can play only one song at a time when accessing the music folder with windows explorer.
to "reshuffle" have you tried turning off shuffle, selecting another track, playing it, then turn shuffle back on.
Thanks for the suggestion - yes I've tried that, but it just seems so hit and miss with the Windows media player and the shuffle play seems to repeat a few tracks too often.
I've now installed MortPlayer and it's working great, so I'm not going to bother with the WM player now.
Thanks.

Yes, this is my half baked solution. I just scroll down and start a few songs later in the list as it is sorted via the playlist. It still does not "shuffle" though, just puts me at a different point in the (properly termed...) reordered playlist. If it's a short playlist though, you will figure out pretty quickly that the songs go in the same order every time, you just started at a different point.
In computing, the random doesn't exist, we can only approach it by simulating.
You won't never get a "real" shuffle. When you select this mode in WMP or HTC audio manager, it follows an algorithm, that's why you always hear songs in the same order with the same playlist. The best way is to change your playlist.
I hope this explanation is helpful and clear, and if somebody can give us more details on the subject, don't hesitate (I like learning more and more )

I hear what you saying regarding computers not being good at random, but I can tell you that this MortPlayer is doing a damn fine job of it.
I think that these workarounds with the playlist are a poor reflection on WM media player - I have about 1.5G in my music folder and MortPlayer can shuffle the lot without the need to first create a playlist.
I didn't say that you need to create a playlist. On the contrary, more the numbers of songs is high, more the order in which you will hear its is changing, because the probability of finding the song "m" on a sample "M" diminishes when you increase "M" ( "M " can be a playlist or 1.5 GB of songs)
I can't seem to figure out how to control music playing on my phone from my watch (using Google Music phone app). Is something supposed to pop up when I play music on my phone? I don't see an "app" on the watch that controls this. Note that I'm using a Note 3.
What am I missing?

You get card of current song and if u swipe to left u can advance and swipe to right one more time to stop I believe.

Actually I figured this out. You have to start the playback on the phone first. Then you get a notification that let's you pause / play, Swipe to the left and you next and once more to the left you get previous, but that is the extent of the stock music control. This worked with EVERY music player I have, not just Google stock Music player.
You can also control volume if you get the Wear Volume app - it appears as an additional notification card under the main music notification. And here is also something that is WAY cool - if you download musiXmatch app, you can scroll down and choose to display scrolling LYRICS to the current song!! I can't get BOTH volume AND lyrics to work at the same time however. Note the Volume works with any music app you choose in it's settings. However, musiXmatch only works with Google Play Music player.
There are also some voice controls to start playback. Such as OK Google, play me some music (that will start an "I'm feeling lucky" shuffle). OK Google, Play Some *artist name* . there are some others, but I use those two often.
Not sure if it matters, but this is on an HTC One M7, stock 4.4.2 Sense 6, Google Play Music.
I've just finished developing my Wear Music Controller app to solve this problem for me:

You can play/pause/next/prev/stop/vol-up/vol-down from your watch! Works with all music apps. Let me know what you think!
I was able to remove all the preinstalled songs that came on the phone except for Leavin. The song will start up automatically anytime I use the Bluetooth in my car. Does this one specific song require a root of the phone in order to be deleted? Confusing why just one song cant be removed...
Might try to disable walkman app. Had this issue with headphones.
Hello everyone,
My question is quite simple but a bit specific :
I like to listen to full albums from the beginning to the end, but the music player can't do that : it only sort the songs by alphabetical order, and all you can do is switching to random...
I stopped used the music player from Huawei for this reason but then I found out that a double tap on the lock screen lunch the music player in a very "neet" way so I keep on using it, I'm cycling a lot and using this device with one hand on a bike is not an easy task...
One of the solutions might be to switch to another music player and another lock screen I guess, but is there anyway to avoid that ? Or to link to "double tap" on the lock screen to another music player ?
Thanks in advance for you answers, this phone is more than awesome for its price !

Found a way of putting songs in order!
The only way I see of doing it is putting letters infront of the song names, so the system automatically orders them. If in a playlist there are no more letters to go with, start entering double, triple combinations if you catch the logic.. For eg. there is a song with a letter "a" and a song with a letter "b", if you want to add another one inbetween them, you have to put an "ab" infront of the desired song's name.. It's kinda lame to have to rename every one in your playlists, but that is the only way I have found effective.
Hope that helps!
Hello,
I understand that it's been years since you asked, Iam facing the same frustration of not being able to enjoy the seamless transition of album tracks.
I found that the free app called VLC does in fact sort albums by track number.
Give it a try and let me know!

Hi all. I'm in need of a music player for my N6 that stops after playing when the song I choose is over. Play Music automatically goes to the next song on the album and I can't have that at work. I can't find a setting to change it. Is it buried somewhere?
I'd prefer free but I'd pay a couple bucks for something that does what I need it to.
Anyone know of a player that will stop at the end of the chosen song?
Use a file manager to find the song you wish to play, I prefer es file
explorer. Tap to select and choose a player, either es built in or google play
This will only play that track.
Playerpro has this feature.
Clear your queue, tap 3 dots to right of song you want, select add to queue, profit!
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I use Astro as my file manager and it will play most .mp3's natively. It's kind of a pain though, as I music scattered around.
I'll check out Playerpro, thanks!
I must be doing it wrong Paul. It still goes right to the next song on the album.

It's a setting you need to enable, I haven't used it for a while but it used to mention something about being handy for musicians and teachers.
Have a dig through the settings menu and you should find it.
