Default music player often displays glitchy, flickering album covers. It looks like it's trying to load them and having difficulty. Anyone else witness this or have a fix? It seems to happen more often than not, and I haven't been able to identify any one particular activity or group of activities that sets it off. See video.
I had the same issue the last time I opened up the music app. IIRC, I reset but forgot about it until I read your post. As of now, it's fine. Not sure what was causing it. Guess I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

Clear data in Music settings... Viola!
I have this problem too. Clear data helps but problem always returns.
And its not just the album art, its also playback sequence sometimes.
I couldn't find a copy of 3.0.2 to download, and reinstall, wondering if that would help.

I've got the same issue. I just use poweramp instead, it sounds better anyway. The stock player is a little thin sounding in comparison.
I have album issues with Google Music Beta music only. Not much an issue imo though. Do you look at album art when you listen to music?

Same for me. Flickering album art, and playback will just stop randomly. Amazon mp3 app will also just stop playing once in a while, too. I do not have Google Music Beta; for the Android Music player I am playing from local files. With Amazon mp3 I'm streaming from my cloud drive. Annoying.

I don't really view album art, but when it flickers I can't select an artist/album or even properly scroll. Also, it's just a really basic stability blunder. How hard is it to render some album art? My iPad buddies laugh at the default music player on eee Pad and I sadly have to agree. Almost no customization options either.
Edit: I'll give Winamp a try, and if that doesn't pan out, perhaps cough up the $5 for Poweramp.

Winamp does nothing but FC for me. Good luck with that.

Seems like some video/music formats can't be played on this pad.
Anyone know a good program to download that will let you play all formats?
and is everyones facebook widget force closing on them? like mine it keeps force closing.
Transformer only opens mkv, mp4, mp3, ogg as far as I know (I don't have the device). To open other formats you need to download apps - look into the apps thread or to Xoom forum for some direction (or search on market for file types you like to open).
for music use power amp. It works.
Rock player works for video, so thats every format covered?
Popular (for music) are also APE and MPC but searching the market reveals many, many apps that play them (and personally I convert all the ape files I get to flac anyway).
And yes, the facebook widget and the application itself "force closes" almost immediately.
I looked for the friend stream widget that I have on my Desire HD rom, but I guess that is part of HTC apps.

vital player ( free ) is also working well for me.
however annoyingly when using MyNet ( dlna ) you cant choose a program to open the video files with so the file just errors with can play this video type
Currently trying to play a 1280x720 -x264- MKV file. Standard player is full of green blocks when trying to run it. Using Rock Player the picture is very clear but it's very jerky like the frame rate is about 5.
Am I doing something wrong? Surely it should play perfect?

currently you can't by reading most forums. best to convert until something comes up.
I didn't notice any settings in my newly purchased Infuse that would allow this so I wanted to check, is there an add-on app or setting I'm missed that will allow the screen to stay on while the music player is playing?
this is an option that i don't believe the default player has. there are several media players in the market that have this option. i use PowerAmp, best player in my opinion
Thanks any thoughts on what is considered the most feature rich player?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
people seem to like doubletwist because it integrates with itunes i believe. but as far as features, i believe poweramp is head and shoulders above the rest. it autoplays on headphone insertion/bluetooth connection. it has its own lockscreen controls. it crossfades between songs and kills the silence at the beginning and end of tracks, making for a professional dj sounding club mix. the only shortcoming is, it doesn't directly handle m3u files, but this will be fixed in the next release.
Much appreciated.

Rockbox is the most feature rich, not on the market though. You'll have to hunt for the apk.

You can do this using tasker.
I was browsing apps the other day and saw Tasker... it seemed a bit daunting so I didn't look in to it closer... (as an aside I'm probably going to stay with the default music player as I like its integration and swiping capabilities), but it looks like I can use tasker to replicate a feature I did like from poweramp (launch automatically when headset is plugged in), and the keep backlight on... guess I'll give it a whirl.
Thanks again.
edit: Stumbled through setting up the task I wanted related to the music player this morning.
Worked brilliantly. Thanks!
hello am i missing something out. Not had time to try out the stock media player on the sensation yet for long periods. But what i have found is this. If i play a track half way threw and stop close the media player next time i go back to media player the track starts from the start not the possion i left it. this is the same with videos too.
Is there something i need to check in a box ? or do i need a new app player for all media files ? if so whats best and free freee free.

Can't really help with your specific issue but can help with player recommendations. Moboplayer and rock player are both free and pretty good, my preference is Moboplayer though.
Mine does that too looked everywhere to find a solution looks like there isn't any why to fix it. Mine also messes up my cover art all the time. Only in the app though the lock screen music control has the right art but the app has different albums art (as in wrong band/cd/ect)
Music player on my phone is making music fade in and fade out. I tod this is song but i got this on all others. So question is: what music player are you using and whay?

I have tried them all well not exactly but most the ones people recommend, none the less I had problems with the stock one doing the same thing. Sometimes it would play a song then sometimes it would just be silent, any way I tried the playerpro trial version same as full version just only last 5 days. any way it and dsp pack for it has proved to be the best so far plays anything, and had allot of sound adjustment. No I don't work for them lol just my 2 cents

PowerAmp continues to be my favorite. Though it seems like there's a bug related to scanning each time the app is launched that was causing me some issue. Disabled that option and everythings good.
I use playerpro, like the features, get missing album covers, no issues. The widget is awesome, try it, it is free. The app is well supported.

I have this exact problem. It isn't quite clipping but whenever there is a crescendo it only ramps up partway and then gets mushy as though there is a normalizer running. The consistency with which it does this has me thinking as though each frame in the MP3 is being decoded at a different level!
Besides Google Play, does the infinity come with a movie player and music player? Or does anyone have good suggestions for some from the google play store? Again, like in the other thread, I am coming from the galaxy tab which had one. Thanks

Try Apollo, it's made for CyqnogenMod, and it's great if you don't want to use Play Music.
From what everyone is saying, MX Player and BSPlayer are the best video players
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
for music, if you don't want your music in the cloud and rather have it on your device, i suggest PowerAmp.
for movies, MX Player Pro is my choice for anything thats not mkv, avi or flv. But i believe it can handle those formats as well. For those formats, i like to go with DicePlayer.
I like winamp personally for music. Particularly because it has a lock screen that automatically take the place of your standard lock screen only when winamp is loaded and being used. This lock screen gives you the option to skip and pause and such. When at this lock screen, you can tap the unlock icon and it drops you to your normal unlock screen so you can enter PW/use lock screen short cuts, and so on. I use this heavily on my phone, so this may not be a selling point on a tablet, but you never know.
I use and like Apollo. The only real complaint I have with it is that it makes your album artwork kinda pixelated, and its also not tablet optimized. That said, there's really only two tablet optimized music players out there and they both suck.

I used poweramp for a short time. There was something about it that I didn't like, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was as I was trying about 4 different players at the time.

Its gotten much better. I would use it as my main player, if i didn't have all my music in the cloud.
Yeah I used to not like Poweramp as well, but they have changed it alot and it is my fav music player app now

May give it a second chance if I become disenchanted with WinAmp. I've been using Winamp for many years on a PC. I've grown accustom to the UI, colors, and hearing the occasional "Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass"
I'm using playerpro for a long time and works great. Also downloads lyrics and art, etc.

Adding a +1 for PlayerPro. Nice with different themes.
Seems like player pro and power amp r what I'm looking for... They both cost five dollars a piece... Any arguments for one over the other or experiences from those that have tried both

Can't speak for playerpro but apparently maxmp is working on Google Music integration for Poweramp which I'm looking forward to. Check out the forums if you're curious about upcoming features.

FWIW, I'm an audiophile and keep my music in .flac on a NAS. I am not willing to use any kind of streaming for my own library. After trying many many things, I've found powerAMP to be the best compromise. It's custom library scanner is indispensable in this situation. MusicMatch lyrics plugins is kinda nice and I love the high level of customizations possible.
I use it on my ICS tab, and GB phone.
