Verizon Galaxy S4 Music Player Problems... - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I noticed this problem while I was at the gym today listening to music.
When playing a song the song will play fine, but when the song ended and it was time to play the next, I noticed it was taking very long. So I opened up my phone and noticed while the song plays fine, and ends, the little timer towards the bottom would only be halfway through the song! In a 9 minute song I was listening to, the song had ended and when I checked the timer it was only at 3:24 seconds, anyone else experiencing this problem, and or have a fix for it? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

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] Music player issues on JellyBean?

Hiya, sorry possibly Noob question. I am running cleanRom 5 and am having the same issues below that were outlined in the synergyrom thread.
Namely, when i get to the second song in a playlist, it stops and my only remedy is to force stop the music player. I do notice that it seems to keep playing the song after the song is over. That is, if I have a 3:30 long song, the player will show that it is playing 4 minutes or 5 minutes or however long I let it go, and thus is not skipping to the next song.
And this morning it started playing from the phone speaker after a couple of songs going through earphone (actually speakers through the earphone jack)
I know I did not have these issues on Synergy ICS build.
And I would post is the dev thread but A: it seems to occur on both ROMS on JB and B: Too much of Noob to be allowed to post there!
Edited to say this stock music player issue...

Still with both, I'm also experiencing some bugs with the music player. Freezes every now and then and FC's. Weirdest thing is sometimes I'm listening to music with headphones and when it changes to the next song it will start playing out the phone speakers like it forgot headphones were plugged in. Pause and play and it recognizes the headphones again. I also get random dropouts every now and then during playback with the screen off.
Does this with play music and apollo.
I'm also having issues with Google Music player - it will play a couple of songs and then just stop. I can exit out of the application and try to restart it but it never plays again until I either reboot the phone or kill the Google Music process and restart it.
I have not, however, had any issues with the music playing out of the speakers when the headset is plugged in.

[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.

[Q] Music Player suddenly stopped!

I use Google Play Music and Sony Music player. Both suddenly stopped playing.
Here how it happens. There is this game that I'm addicting to it. it's called Brave Frontier. Anyways, I usually listen music through my car cassette by plugging to the headphone from the phone. So I play any music on my player either one. Then I opened up Brave Frontier game and the music gets turned off or silent, but the music player is still playing music as indication.
Then i switch to the music player have to pause and unpause or skip track for player to play music again. Then i get back to my game. Then maybe a minute later the music turned off.
Any fix for this? because it is very annoying that I wanna listen to music while playing game. Other phone like galaxy S4 (coming from) doesnt have this problem.
Hey pal,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

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!
