ever since i upgraded to stock kitkat (not via ota, and i have root) my google play music has been giving me unable to play this song errors. i'm down to do a logcat if someone smarter than me is down to read it and try to find a solution. i've noticed it when i'm on wifi and mobile data, while i'm using gps and while i'm not, with personal library songs as well as all-access tracks, and i'm fairly certain it hasn't mattered whether the tracks were on-device or streaming.
has anybody who took the stock kitkat OTA without any root or modifications had this same issue?
has anybody had zero GPM errors since updating to kitkat?
I'm gonna chime in and say I've been having issues too. I'm completely stock. But Play Music usually randomly just stops midsong with an unable to play song error. Haven't been able to figure out what's causing it.

I'm currently running eaglesbood v2.4 (stock kernel) and am having issues playing music with the rdio app. For those who don't know about rdio, it's a streaming (downloading) music service like spotify, but availible in canada (hence why I am not using spotify).
my problem is that whenever i try to play music that i've synced to my phone, it will not play at all. I can stream music, but strangely there is about a 2 minute delay before anything will start to play. I've noticed this problems on all of the roms i have used, such as eaglesblood 2.4, cm7.1, and weapon3.0. I've also tried everything on their support page and found that useless (including clean installs and formating the sd card) Is anyone else having this problem? or a problem with a similar app when you root your phone?
(it worked with the out of the box wind mobile firmware)
same rdio offline playback issue
I have the same issue. Have you found a solution?
I stopped my rdio subscription however I'm on hell fire 1.9 now. I noticed that I would tend to have issues with mms if I didn't change the apn setting on authentication type from not set to "none"

I have a Galaxy S3 i747 running AOKP 4.2.2. I've tried Google Play Music, Omich Player, Android Music Player, and PowerAmp. Whenever I do anything on my phone while listening to music, it skips for a second or two. By this I mean locking or unlocking it, opening an app, and sometimes doing something within an app. Its really obnoxious and is seriously ruining my enjoyment of this phone. My ROM has an overclock function, so I tried forcing the processor to go to 1.6gHz at all times, but that didn't fix it. It also has an SD card read ahead function, but even setting that as high as 4000kb had no effect. This happens whether there's zero or a dozen apps in the background. Sometimes clearing the apps cache and force closing it followed by restarting the phone helps. Also, sometimes switching to another music player whip fix it for a while before that one starts skipping too.
Is there any solution to this? I've seen other people with this problem but they either never resolve it or the solution that works for them doesn't work for me.
Perhaps
If you have AntiVirus on your mobile phone. Possible that some programs are not compatible

Nope, no antivirus
I know this sounds crazy but try using headphones with a built-in microphone. I'm almost positive that is how I fixed this issue on an older phone that had the same issue.

Hello! I've been a Google Music All Access subscriber since nearly day 1, and I haven't had any issues with the service until recently. I can't pinpoint a specific time this started, but it was before Lollipop rolled out to my Nexus 5 (problem probably started about a month ago?). GMAA has mood radio stations that you can pick based on the time of day, so for work, bedtime, etc. Often (>50% of the time now) when I try to play one of these radio stations, I get an error that states "Couldn't prepare radio. Please try again." The error persists for specific radio stations; trying other stations makes it work (but the original station still doesn't work). I've attached a screenshot of the error.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? It's REALLY annoying and I'd like to get it fixed! I'll contact Google directly if I have to, but I'd prefer to avoid that.

Did you ever end up finding a solution to this problem. I've been experiencing it for a couple months now. I emailed Google Play app support but have not gotten a response from them even after numerous attempts.
I keep having this issue too and its so annoying...if anyone has a fix please share.

Found a solution that worked for me I grabbed the old APK from APK mirror and installed that version instead ( grab oct 21 2014 release) install this version and play a few of the contextual radios they all seemed to work on that version. After playing the ones that weren't working I installed the newest version again and they continued to work.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-music/google-play-music-5-7-1717q-1530520-apk/ this is the version that I used to get it working again.
Here's what worked for me... I completely uninstalled the app. It was installed by default as a system app. Then installed again through the Google Play store. Haven't had any issues so far ??

Thanks for this. I started getting the same error so I followed your instructions. I'm not rooted so I couldn't completely remove the app. But I uninstalled as much as i could and cleared everything I could and the radio stations are working again.
Hey guys
I know I'm late to the party but I found a fix to this issue and I wanted to see if it works for other people. I did this on a galaxy S7 running Android 7.0 and running the latest version of Google play music. Here's what I did:
1. Tap the 3 dot menu on the playlist in question and select "create new playlist"
2. Name the playlist something different from the original
3. Remove one song from the playlist (I don't think it matters which but I removed the first song)
4. Put the song back in the playlist.
5. Check to see if the radio function works for the new playlist
6. Delete the old playlist and rename the new on to what the old playlist was called.
7. Now you should have a playlist that is identical to the original and the radio function should work for it.
Hope this helps.
This issue only started for me about a month ago and has gotten progressively worse.
Every time I open Google apps that could be used to stream music (play music, YouTube), I get a message saying that Bluetooth has stopped.
It happens whether I'm actually connected to a Bluetooth device or not and I can't find a way to prevent it. It never used to happen while using power amp either.
Is there anything that can be done?
Edit: It happens any time I play music now
Edit 2: The problem seems to be related to an update of the play music app. I uninstalled the update and only have the base version of the app now and everything is working fine.
Try going into apps in sttings if ure rooted use a diffrent app manager and clear the cache and data on bluetooth
I've had my unlocked Sony Xperia Z5 for about a month now, and I'm quite happy with it. I decided to root it after I found out the bootloader was unlockable, and that was mostly just so I could run a handful of apps that need it like f.lux or AdAway. I was able to root without my phone having to factory reset or anything, too; I didn't have to sign in with my Google account or anything again. I've also had zero problems with the supposed DRM on the phone, and the audio features all seem to work just fine. I am running Marshmallow with otherwise no problems as well.
However, one thing continues to elude me, and I've yet to find a single answer to it for several weeks. When I use the Music app, I can bring out the sidebar and scroll down to a setting that says "Podcast". I originally tried it out a few months ago on an Xperia C4 at a local store on display, and I was able to search up podcasts I normally listen to. When I got my hands on my Z5, I wanted to use that feature and add some podcasts in there. That way, I could have the music app handle podcasts instead of me having to use a separate app.
Now here's where my problem comes in. Whenever I open up the podcast option, the same thing always happens. Every single time. I'll click "Podcast" on the sidebar in the Music app, I'll see the "No items" screen telling me to tap the Plus icon on the top-right corner to add a podcast, I tap the Plus icon, and I'm immediately greeted with "No network connection. Make sure your device is connected to a network." Clicking retry does nothing. It's like the app just doesn't seem to think I'm ever connected when my connection works fine on just about any other app on my phone.
I've yet to find a solution on my own. Searching online turns up nothing, as if the problem is only happening to me or is too obscure. I've tried so many fixes on my own. Tried clearing the data on the Music app, tried clearing the data and following with a reboot, tried connecting to different networks, tried toggling my WiFi and LTE, tried just about everything I can think of. I'm stumped.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong at this point. I'm on rooted Marshmallow with an E6603 model Xperia Z5. Any suggestions on what to do from here, or am I stuck with a broken feature on the Music app? Granted I could live without this feature, but I would very much like to consolidate my podcasts and music into a single app.
Unfortunately, the podcasts won't work properly without root too. I just went back to test this, the issue that made me stop using it is still there: while scrolling the podcasts list by category, the list of items would occasionally skip very fast 2 or 3 pages below or above. I'm using podcasts in GPM now. That, too is a bit underdeveloped right now, hopefully Google will improve on it.

I have the same problem with "No network connection" on my Sony Z5 compact on Marshmallow 6.0.1 but it was the same on 6.0 and 5.1.1 so I assume it's Sony's music app fault. Anyone found a solution yet?

Try the app - "Genus beat" for music as well as podcasts
I find the native music player and podcast rather bad to be honest. I much prefer third party app combinations such as Onyx and Pocketcasts
