[Q] Spotify and audio focus - General Questions and Answers

Hey, so I am Spotify premium user and I discovered, that Spotify is beeing interrupted by other apps. I did some research why is this happeing and found out that it is android feature, nothing to do with apps themselves? I am using Clover (4chan browser), and whenever I play webm (video file), spotify is interrupted and won't play again until I play Play button again. But sound in webms is not allowed on 4chan, therefore there is no reason to interrupt spotify. Is there anyway to solve this? Maybe some app that will let me determine which app should have higher audio focus priority? I have no knowledge in android programming, but it doesn't sound too difficult to do so, so maybe with some guidance I would be able to set audio focus priority for specific app?
I have HTC One X with Lollipop (5.0.2)
Thanks.

[Q] How to separate music and audio in Android OS.

hey guys i am new to android and just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S3 on contract and the main problem that i am facing right now is with the system music app, i have some music, audio lectures and ringtones, and the problem is that the android music detects(reads) all those three audios files in one app and i find it really annoying because i dont want them to be mixed. in iOS (iPhone) there are some apps that you can just drag your audio into that app and it will only play those files within that app. meaning it was easy for me to sync my music to iOS music player and put the lecture in another app. i could not find such an app or feature in android.
so are there any apps or trick to do that. any help would be appreciated
thanks

Audio Question - Duck or Pause

Hello everyone
I needed to know something about ducking or pusing music during notifications and map navigation with voice
Im using Jetaudio plus and it does not have the option to duck music instead of pausing it like rocket player does.
Even common, simpler and free audio players do this. They duck the music instead of pausing it.
Is there a workaround or app or something i can use?
Please help me
Ive posted this problem on both the free and paid versions of jetaudio for quite some time now, but it seems I am being ignored
Thanks
help me understand something.. what the heck is ducking? referring to ducking music..
Ducking is when youre hearing music and if u get a notification, the music volumes goes out of focus, it drops to a low value so that the notification sound or map navigation voice has the audio focus. But in no way, does the music pause. It then again comes back to focus after the notifcation or voice navigation is finished
was i clear ?
Anyone?
Bump
Hoping to find a solution

Spotify/Google Play Music gapless on S7

Hello,
I am on a neverending quest to get Spotify to play my local files gapless.
I have some concert rips and some gapless albums that simply aren't on Spotify. Neither Google Play Music nor Spotify will play them gapless. Worse, GPM won't play ANYTHING gapless, from their library or not. I'm very serious about my music and this is a problem. i've been reading that GPM playing gapless depends on the phone itself, mostly Nexus can do it. I wondered if anybody here has a S7 and Google Play Music and would be willing to do a test for me?
1. Download not stream a gapless album (say, Madonna "Confessions Tour", Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells 2003", etc.)
2. Play it on headphones
3. Are there gaps between songs? (Half a second or so, but still)
My Xperia Z5 Compact can't play GPM content gapless, it plays Spotify library content gapless, but not local files I sync.
Thank you very much to anyone who can be bothered to check that for me! I'm changing phones in a month and I would like to get one that won't make my musical OCD triggered every few minutes.
I was about to report something similar.
Actually, I have ripped Madonna's Confession Tour and transfered it locally on my phone.
Both GPM and Samsung Music refuse to play them gaplessly.
On the contrary, apps that use somekind of dedicated/internal decoding do play them gaplessly, for example Foobar.
I strongly believe there is something on the kernel or google's native decoders that gets lost in the chain of audio playback when it comes to gapless playback, like the implementation chain is breaking or there's simply no native gapless implementation.
This sucks, if you do a google search you'll see LOTS of people being frustrated with the issue, reporting it and google simply ignores them.
I am p*ssed off aswell, I find it very embarassing that at 2017 not every device can do native gapless out of the box atleast on formats that support it natively, a day that our phones do so many stuff that a decade ago we needed like 20 separate devices to do the same stuff yet something like this seems like it's either not important or too hard to do.

This is correct
You can however make an app that plays gapless without

That app would internally use 2 players, when the first one finishes its song, the second one starts and when that one finishes, the first one starts again etc.

It is not entirely true though. There are devices that most of them run on CM based or pure AOSP that actually gapless works with the same combination of apps.
For example:
My old HTC EVO 3D has gapless playback on CM based roms with GPM.
My Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 has actual gapless on GPM but not on Samsung Music.
My dad's Nexus 5 needs to have enabled the equaliser for gapless to work.
There is somekind of chain from the audio file until the audio reaches your ears that one of the links break.
I'm just trying to figure out what.
@raytheblacksmith and @waterdaan or everybody else that may care, I can confirm that Nougat fixed the gapless playback issue!
All tracks I'm playing with Samsung Music are gapless now!
