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.

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.
I haven't seen this posted anywhere, but no matter which rom I use (tried them all, currently on Revolver 0.2) when the screen is off, Google Music won't advance to the next song in the playlist. It buffers and is loaded because as soon as I hit the power button to turn the screen on (don't even have to swipe to unlock) the next song starts playing.
Anyone else have this issue or an idea of how to fix it? It's frustrating only listening to one song at a time. Thanks!
noticed that aswell i had it also play a few songs before i had to repower it.
Same here. But worse, when I turn on the screen to advance the song, there is now crackling and static in the audio, which only goes away by closing and restarting the Music app.

Yeah, I get the crackling too, but I've found that it goes away if I just pause it for two seconds and then resume playing.
Very annoying indeed, unless you set the screen to never turn off. Anyone know of any 3rd party app that can advance through the songs?
I think this is an issue with Google Music. I sometimes have the same issue with GM on my Evo.
I have no issue with GM on my MyTouch 4g.
Mine advances to next songs fine with screen off, been using it for a couple weeks, in fact I'm listening to Adema now on it as I work and it's advancing fine with screen off.
Change your WiFi Sleep Policy to never. I think what's happening is that when its going to the next song, WiFi is deactivated because your tablet is in idle status.

My Tf wifi is set to never, still has the same problem. Google Music has a bug, all of my other music players work flawlessly. The GM pause even happens to me with local music.
Ignore me I should have read the thread title before posting, apologies to all!

ubermusic doesn't support Google Music.
Guess you don't know what Google Music is?
Google Music syncs with a online playlist. More info @ http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/google-music-beta-walkthrough-what-it-is-and-how-it-works-vide/
Thanks, to be perfectly honest I skim read the title and just assumed it was the stock music player app that was being referred to as that has exactly the same issue. I knew of Google music before.
Sorry for the misplaced reply.
Looks like this is fixed in 3.2, at least on mine. No more reaching for the power button to goto the next track. Thanks Google.

Happening to me on 3.2 but on my acer iconia both the lack of next song and static
I'm on the latest firmware and it doesn't seem to be fixed. Clear Data and everything else doesn't seem to work as well. Any ideas?
Whilst listening to locally stored tracks on Google Play or cached/streaming songs on Soundcloud, I experience odd audio playback behaviour on my Nexus 5.
Music sometimes skips to random parts of the track - with earlier or later parts of the song disrupting the order of the song. It's as if I tapped a random part of the track's time bar. Very frequently these random sections then repeat. On other occasions one part of the song will simply repeat over and over again (up to 5 times). Most commonly, a song will just skip a couple of seconds ahead of itself once or twice.
This issue happens only occasionally, but it's very annoying and worrying when it happens. It's also very difficult to reproduce under controlled conditions. There is very little rhyme or reason to when it happens. In the past I've noticed the problem, checked the phone, restarted the song / app and the problem goes away. I've searched for the problem on google and xda, but can't find anything relevant.
What would be your take on the problem? Is this a hardware or a software problem? Should I factory reset or RMA? Everything is entirely stock and I have no other problems with the phone.
Some crazy speculative theories: Maybe the phone's low power music playback state causes this problem. Perhaps the device sometimes mis-reads song data in its memory. Or maybe it's just an app / playback software bug. I don't think the song data itself is corrupted because different parts of songs skip each time and sometimes songs play back without any problems at all
Are you stock?

I've been trying to listen to music on my phone recently and I cant at all it seems. I can't even listen to it for 5 minutes on any player both pulsar and musicolet do this. They stop randomly they start again the music is muted, they skip songs randomly. I was literally walking along the path, with the screen watching my phone go haywire like it was possessed. Skipping songs constantly, and muting and stopping and starting.
I hope this can be fixed because music is my main use for the phone. I'll have to return it, if I cant even listen to music on it.
Do you by any chance were using earphones?
If a cable breaks there may be such behavior.

Try to do it the other way around.. get another set of headphones to your phone and see if the problem still occurs... If not, problem solved, cable broken..?

When was the last time that you had a factory reset?
Are there any other issues with other apps?

I just bought the phone, the only other issue is it crashes my wifi every time it connects, which I think is to do with the Asus router.
But anyway I think I may have solved the problem, I changed the battery optimisation for pulsar to don't optimise and that seems to have worked no problems for 2 days now.
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!
