[Q] play music app issue on N5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
This is not the usual "won't sync" topic as the problem is that my app just randomly not displays or doesnt display some songs or albums, even though i have them uploaded for months.
Say I got two artistX albums, I know I got them because the play.music.com shows them to me, and Last week the app played them on my phone. Now I cleared the cache, and refreshed like ten time but the app only shows me one album, and on this album, only a few songs.
I uninstalled, cleared, and re installed, then same issue but other songs and other artists... Completely random...
i even re flashed my stock rom, but no way....
please help

[Q] Sky ICS GS3 Music Player Issue

I listened to my music on the Sky ICS GS3 music player fine on my way home yesterday and when I went to listen to my playlist today nothing would play. The timer woould sit at 0 no matter where it was in the song. After a little bit I went to All Songs and I noticed that each song had a second copy. A song would show up as 2 files that were seemingly identical except the first file was blank as I described above, while the second was normal and intact. All the music in playlists were the blank copied versions though. Has anyone else had this happen or know how this could of happened so it doesn't happen again? Should I remove all music from my SD and reload?
Why wouldn't you try that? Gotta start somewhere, ya know...
Dump your music, open the app, see what you have left. Research and dump whatever's left.
Reload music to SD via Windows. See what you have in the app.
Rinse/repeat till you figure it out.
Worst case scenario, you need to wipe your phone and reload the rom. I've had crap left over on my emmc that caused oddball issues on the next flash. Gallery finding every album cover, wifi drops, etc..
Can say the latest ICS works perfectly after a full wipe and reload. Redid my TB backups too.

Google Music Crashes

Hey guys I recently bought a galaxy tab 2 (7 inch), it's great and all but whenever I launch google music, it crashes after playing music for a while or just browsing my albums. I tired updating the music app and even removing the update and I still get the same "Unfortunately Google Music has crashed" popup. Any help is appreciated, it should also be noted that I haven't got any mod or custom rom working; this is all out of the box.
*just did a factory reset and it worked again*

[Q] Stock android problem with music

HI guys, I've got a real head scratcher and for the first time in every aspect of my life a Google search hasn't come through for me.
Background: Completely stock Nexus 4 - 4.4.3
Completely stock Nexus 7 - 4.4.2
No task or app killers
Problem: Out of no where when swiping away any music player (Google Play Music, Shuttle+, Wiizm etc) the music is killed!? The phone seems to be preventing the app from running in the background. I can hit the menu hot key and open other apps and music will play fine, it just won't continue playback if app is swiped.
I've also noticed I no longer get any form of mini player in the notification pull down or notification (headphones, play symbol etc) in the status bar if I have music playing unless I swipe the app but by which time the music has been killed!
What I've tried: Numerous searches, factory reset, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, cache and data clearing and even a different user account.
I could completely understand that something could corrupt or I could possibly hit a setting I've never seen before causing this to happen but surely a factory reset would resolve it? To add insult to injury my Nexus 7 has gone exactly the same way with the same symptoms. I don't even have the same music players on the individual device so I can't blame it on one particular app.
It driving me insane! Does anyone have any suggestions?
I experienced the second part of your problem, GPM no longer was in my notification bar+shade. Searched everywhere and your post was the only one I could find related to my problem. Curiously I checked the app under >Settings>Applications>Google Play Music and noticed that the notifications check box was not checked so I checked it and now everything is back to normal. Really can't remember if I turned it off myself or if upgrading to 4.4.3 had something to do with it.

HTC One M8: "Problem Playing Tap To Try Again" Playback Error

Media Playback Issues...I think
So a few days ago something very weird happened to my phone. I opened up YouTube to listen to some music while on the bus and got a weird error saying "There was a problem playing, tap to try again". So I tapped and the same error came up. I gave up and went to my Google play music app and found that no music will play. Later I went on Baconreader, Snapchat, and Facebook where I can't watch videos and can't take videos on Snapchat. I can take pictures on Snapchat but not videos. When I click on a story the story closed as if I quick tapped to skip the video. Also if anyone calls me I can't hear them talk, I'm not sure if they can hear me though. So far I tried updating my software which I have been avoiding for about a week, no solution. I tried clearing my entire cache, didn't fix it. I really really really don't want to restore my phone because I really hate doing that and having to deal with it. And so far Google hasnt been much help. Can anyone give any insight to what's happening here? Also, the phone is not rooted and no custom roms, stock.
