[Q] Nexus 5 - some songs/mp3s do not start when selected - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
some songs/mp3s just do not start when selected. When I am listening to music and press the "next song" button some songs just don't start playing. The time is stuck at 0:00 and I have to press on the progress bar (or however it is called) to make the song play -> so I just kinda swipe from the middle of the progress bar to the beginning and the song starts ...
This happens at the same files everytime. Most of these files a have for months and they never caused problems on any device (Nexus 10, SGS2). It doesn't seem to be a music player problem since it happens on all player apps I have tried (PlayerPro, Folder Player,...).
Does anybody know if this is a common KitKat problem? Maybe a format issue of the mp3 files? This is the only problem I have with that phone.

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.

[Q] shuffle issue with original player

Does anyone also have this? In the morning i'm going outside, put my headset on, open the htc music player, the shuffle button is already on. So I only press play. But it does not shuffle instead it just plays the next song on the play list.
Solution is the press the shuffle off and on again. But it's little anyone to do this 2 / 3 times a day.
Im using ARHDxe btw

[Q] Google Play Music All Access plays Songs muted sporadically

Device: Nexus 5 on 4.4.2 stock
Problem: When listening to Music on Google Play Music Songs often suddenly play muted. Starting the app and listening the music always works fine, the problem occurs at various intervalls after starting to listen. This always happens at the beginning of a new song. The app is showing correctly that the music is playing but I can't hear any music. Skipping to the next track or restarting the Song "fixes" the Problem. Happens during Streaming as well as Songs stored on my Device. Factory reset didnt fix the Problem. Sometimes this happens two Songs in a row, sometimes like 1 out of 10 Songs. Very annoying though if you're riding your bike or if you want to listen to music with friends if you have to skip songs all the time to avoid random akward silence. Didn't have this problem on my old SGS3.
I have this problem occasionally too. Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it but it does happen at the beginning of the next song. Just sits there with dead air until I skip to the next one. Very annoying.

I would sometimes have this problem if I was going from a song that is on my device to a song that isn't on my device that was in the cloud. I would skip to the next song and then back and it would work fine, is this similarly what you are experiencing? I do not have a solution just sharing your pain.

nope for me it's all with songs that are on my device... hope someone chimes in with a solution, the only thing I can think of is some of my media files might be in a different format (mp3, mp4, etc) but my understanding was all formats were compatible...

If what you describe is the actual cause of the glitch, you did find a workaround: Make sure each playlist is comprised of either "on device" music or "in the cloud" music, but not both.

Did you ever resolve this, I'm having the same issue on a galaxy note 3, with music stored on my device, every time it moves the next track the song is muted, hitting stop and then play fixes things. Very frustrating.
did you fix it

[Q] Nexus 5 browser video playing issue and media volume bug

hey guys i'm new to the forum so please excuse if there are any mistakes.
So few days back bought a google nexus 5 and i'm loving it But i am having two issues with the phone:
(1) when i try to play a video in the browser the option "complete action using : mx player, etc..." does not appear. Instead the video is played by a default browser player (not default video player ) which sucks big time and takes a loooong time to buffer. i have tried different browsers (dolphin, chrome..) but no luck . I have been using android for a looooooong time and never had this problem.
(2) this is not a serious issue but is bugging (no pun intended ) me a little. while listening to a song or playing games when i change the volume the small window showing the media volume level appears as usual. But when i change the volume using the volume rocker though the volume changes the volume level on the screen remains stuck. Also if i try to change the volume using the screen i'm unable to do that. But in case of Call volume, etc everything works fine. Is this a bug or something else?
Hope someone is able to help and thanks in advance

Weird Music Playback Issues on OOS 11

Good Day everyone!,
I was a long time sticking to OOS 10 but I recently decided to upgrade.. Overall it was mostly worth it but one thing does significantly annoy me.
Sometimes when I use Spotify, the notification suddenly disappears on lockscreen or if I jump to the next song, the cover from previous song is still shown altough the next song already plays..
And on an music player that happens aswell that sometimes I play the next song but the previous one is shown.. It either stays like that until I skip manually (altough sometimes that happens for a few songs on the local music player) or if If I restart the song it comes back (not always).
Does somebody have the same issues? Any ideas how to solve it? I wonder if a clean install would solve that issue but if there is another way it would be more handy!
Many thanks!
