Car Tunes app duplicate songs - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I use Car Tunes as my default music player. All my mp3s are stored on a USB flash drive. When I first insert the flash drive the app reads all the music and everything works great. The issue is when I turn the vehicle off the next time I start it all the songs are added a second time. The library shows duplicates of every song and gives me an error every time a new track plays. If I clear the app data then reload the library all is good until I shut off the vehicle and turn it on again. Sometimes, it can show every song three or four times even though the file only exists once. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I like the appearance of Car Tunes App and the voice controls. I don't want to switch to another music app. Thanks again...

[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.

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.
did you fix it

[Q] Stop music playing when connecting to bluetooth

Hi,
Got a seriously annoying problem. Whenever my phone connects to bluetooth, which is usually in my car, it starts playing the last song I listened to by auto launching google play music and playing away. I don't know if I'm being blind but I can't find a setting to turn this off. Sometimes I might want to stream music in the car, but not automatically on connecting!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sorry to jump on this ages old thread, but I'm wondering this same thing. Google Play Music is the culprit, just like you, and it's also when I connect my phone to my car's bluetooth and I don't want it to automatically play. I didn't find any options within the app itself.
I had this issue before and I used ROM Toolbox Pro to turn off one of the autostart receivers for this app and that seemed to work, but I cannot remember which one it was or even how it would've become enabled again in the first place.
EDIT: I think one reason for this is any songs that might be in 'queue' inside the app. Like if you were playing from a playlist or something. Wipe the songs out of the queue (should just be able to swipe them away) and I think that should work.
I'm still looking for a bluetooth receiver I might be able to disable to not have to worry about it.
Interesting. I've always had to use third party options to MAKE the phone autostart music when connecting to bluetooth. As the above posts states there are no options in Play Music to turn this on or off. What ROM are you running? Is it possible your ROM, a third party app, or maybe even your head unit is causing this?

anybody use black player?

Just got a pixel 2 and i have always used Black Player for one key reason. When im playing music via Bluetooth, and i get a notification, it only lowers the volume for about a second and resumes which is really nice. Well, Black Player is not finding ANY of my music. I installed power amp just to test, and it found everything including playlists. However power amp is stupid when you get a notification because it completely mutes the music for about 3 seconds which is extremely annoying.
Is there any way to force it to look in a specific location? I think whats happening is its trying to find an sdcard because the on screen text is saying "put music files on the sd card".
alternatively, if there are any other decent players that do the same thing in regard to notifications im open to trying them.
EDIT: so it looks like blackplayer should use the music library via android. when i try to use the google play app it doesnt find the music either. Power amp actually lets you pick a specific folder so i think thats why that one works. still gotta be some way to force it to work. maybe its as easy as moving my music folder to a different spot.

Question OK Google, music question, Pixel 7 Pro

I have around 50 Gb of music stored in the Music folder on the phone.
When I "OK Google" and ask the phone to play stored music it always goes to Pandora and starts to stream music instead.
Is there some exacting command that will make the phone play my stored music, and can I modify that command to play a specific band? For example, can I have the phone play stored songs by the band Tool for example? I have 3 or 4 music players on the phone I can use.
Also, as an aside, when I try to use YouTube music to play my stored content, it takes about a minute to load the 5000 songs, which it does every time I open the app. Then, it takes about 30 seconds to start playing a selected song, and 30 seconds between each and every song. (I get the circling icon each time). I've factory reset the phone figuring there was a glitch, but the issue still exists.

Question Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended

How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
