[Q] What does the spinning circle mean with music player - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been moving music into the music player and creating playlists. I notice that there is a fairly large spinning circle at the top center of the music center that never shuts down. Even when I re-boot, as soon as I open the music player the spinning circle is whirling.
I have no idea what it is -- perhaps the circle is meant to be on at all times. Or, is it an alert? Anyone have any idea?
Thanks,
Barbara

media player overlaps random tracks. HELP

i have an issue with any music i play on my phone. randomly the song will cut to another song, but the display still shows the original info. i have had this problem with my p4000 and now with my omnia. i first though it was a problem with pockplayer, but i found after a hard reset the issue still exist with the other media players on my phone. i now think it is an issue with something in my music folder what came directly from my itunes library. I really have no clue why my music keeps jumping from song to a random song for a few seconds, than back to the proper song, but it is REALLY annoying and i was hoping someone here may be able to help.

After listening songs we put on pause, then lock the screen and the screen will show the player how to remove it from there? (Player)

How to stop music cover art from showing on lock screen

Does anyone know how to keep the music album cover art from displaying when the screen is locked.
Without losing the play/pause and next buttons on the lock screen?
I really do not want a image popping up when I turn on my phone, that I have no control over.
So far I know Play music and Rhapsody both show the cover art when music is playing
spotify does not seem to download cover art, so it works

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Spotify has downloaded cover art for me and does cover my lockscreen, in fact. The only work around i've found, I added a widget to my lockscreen (by enabling widgets on lockscreen, stock feature) and flipping to that app while I have music playing. That way I can switch back and forth when I want to skip track/pause.
I don't think we'll do exactly what we want here without switching ROMs.
Curious as to why you wouldn't want them to show? I thought this was a great addition.
Yeah I actually love the addition of showing the album artwork when music is playing. Doubletwist does it too, but randomly it'll I guess glitch out and then it won't show the controls or the artwork even though music is playing.
Anyone find a way to fix this problem?

default screen when playing music

is there a way to have the default screen be the music player control screen when the watch wakes and music is playing? ive had this watch now for 17 months and its driving me nuts. I dont play music terribly often, maybe once a day for about an hour or so, but i had flashed android wear on my old gear 2 neo and it had that baked into the tarball. Anyone been able to get something like this working on the S3 Frontier or any of the S3 variants?
From what I've seen so far no. But there are multiple ways to get to the player. Watch face with shortcut to music, quick setting pull down "playing" green bars only shows when playing.. click that will take you to music, a permanent quick setting icon, or make a music widget be the first widget when you swipe left. Hope that helps
