listen now - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

listen now working for anyone? i have it turned on, and playing music all last night and this morning, it hasn't popped up with anything (spot checked a few songs against the song list db that's been posted, and they were in the db)

It works

not working here even with music purchased from the play store

Started working last night. Weird.

According to an article I read, it doesn't listen full time. It checks every 60 seconds. So if you didn't leave the song playing at least that long, Play Now probably didn't catch it. That said, it didn't recognize a couple of songs from Youtube earlier, but most popular songs I listened to, it found.

Database needs to be massively updated before this is considered brilliant!

It'll still save me from most SoundHound lookups.

Bad Zune Pass bug?

Does anyone with Zune pass and Mango have this problem?
When playing songs/albums downloaded from Zune Pass, randomly it seems as though the player will lock up at the very end of a song, refuse to do anything else, and require a reboot if you want to continue listening to music. This does not happen with music transferred to the device. Very annoying.
HD7. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I often disable my data connection? Though it still seems to happen over wifi.
nope doesn't happen to me.

It could simply be a connection issue. If you are playing music off the Internet, it of course has to buffer and stream. This could simply be a result of a wonky internet connection, so your phone isn't able to get a reliable connection, so it's trying to get your next song for you, and that may unfortunately lock up your phone.
Probably a beta bug. But I've never experienced it at all.

That makes sense, but this is happening with music that I have downloaded to my HD7 with my Zune pass. Streaming music works perfectly, but downloaded music locks Zune up between tracks. Well it technically doesn't "lock" up, but it does refuse to play any other song and just sits on the last second of the track that locked. Perhaps it's trying to get data from the server or something even though it's already downloaded?

Oh I thought you were talking about streaming music with Zune Pass, downloaded Zune Pass tracks is something different.
I tested out a song and there was no lag at all.
I know that at some point, if you haven't sync'd your phone for a long time, my Zune HD would momentarily stall before playing a song I downloaded with Zune Pass. I assume its pegging the Zune server for license information to make sure I can still play it. But I haven't experienced that on Windows Phone, or even know if Windows Phone does that all (but its technically just Zune so I assume it does do it if I haven't sync'd in a long time). Though if you just upgraded to Mango, you have to plug in your phone for that just recently, so it can't be that.
Maybe just a bug? Corrupted installation? A hard reset might fix that.
nope doesn't happen to me.
I did hard reset my device, and the bug appeared to be gone; however, it has since started up again. Perhaps it happened when I synced my phone to OSX, I am not sure, but it is back. Very annoying, randomly freezing when listening to my albums. It still only applies to music downloaded on Zune Pass.

Yes, I have the same problem with 7712: It doesn`t related with data connection: I tested it with 3g+wifi, wifi without 3g, all data services off. There is the same result: player randomly stopped at the of song for a 5-10 seconds or locked at all.
PS: Phone is Samsung Omnia 7

I've had this problem since upgrading too. Although even since pre NoDo, sometimes tracks would randomly pause and then resume, and then repeat that a few times.
I'm using a Samsung Omnia 7.

[Q] Strange audio problems

I have a strange audio-related issue on my Droid Charge.
This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, I can't seem to track down the cause. When these problems happen, they tend to all happen at the same time as far as I can tell.
I have two custom tones I use, one for the phone ringtone and one for my text message notification. They work just fine, but suddenly and without warning they will stop working. So if my phone rings, it is just totally silent. If I go in to the settings to select a ringtone and choose my custom one, it is dead silent. If I choose any of the other ones that are on my phone, they play with no problem.
I have google voice as my voice mail provider. Sometimes when I go to check my voicemail, I get an error message that says "failed to download recording" See image here: i.imgur.com/IeXNL.jpg sorry you'll have to copy & paste into your address bar - since I'm a new user I can't post links.
When I go to play music, I'll sometimes get the error that says "Error playing the requested track" See image here: i.imgur.com/JjXoG.jpg sorry you'll have to copy & paste into your address bar - since I'm a new user I can't post links.
And this happens with every song in my library (not that i've tested them ALL, but just randomly picking songs out of my list they will all fail in the same way.)
I've noticed that some audio will still work - for example, the sounds in the game "Word With Friends" still works. The sound in the game "FieldRunners" still works. However, the sound in "Angry Birds" does NOT. Also, My email notification (which is NOT a custom sound) still comes through no problem.
If I reboot my phone, everything works just fine right up until it decides to fail again - which could be ANY time - I've had it work fine for a few days before.
I had done some searching on these problems, but didn't really find many related posts (here & general google searching). I found one thread where people were talking about downloading and using SDrescan and it fixed their problems. I did that and it does not help.
I really hate missing calls because I can't hear them. (Fortunately I haven't missed too many.) Then when I do check, I can't hear the voice mail message the caller left from google voice (unless I go to the web interface - then it will play through Moboplayer, but not through the Music app)
I have Rooted and ROMmed my phone, but just FYI, I did have the problem with the ring tones when everything was stock (I just got the phone on July 2). I didn't even set up google voice mail or put music on my phone before I had rooted it. I am using the GummyCharged ROM (v1.9).
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Thank you - and let me know if any more information is needed to help diagnose this.
EDIT: I also just noticed that if I launch the amazon MP3 store, I cannot listen to any samples - there's no error message - the sample just never plays. The Amazon mp3 store player will also not successfully play any of my music that is stored locally - it just says "error playing song". I also have 2 songs stored in the amazon cloud - it will not play those, either and it gives the same message "error playing song."
EDIT: clarity and grammar - I'm typing like english is not my first language today

[HELP] Music stutters (every ROM, every music player)

Hello guys. I've been having this issue since I've first bought my Nexus 5, thought I could finally solve it if I shared it with you.
Almost one year ago, I got my Nexus, and since I didn't like Play Music at all I downloaded Poweramp from the Play Store. I immediately noticed that some song in my library stuttered and skipped. I tried to set Audio Thread Priority and Audio Buffer higher in Poweramp, but that was useful. Then, using other audio players (I'm using Shuttle+ now) I realized the hiccups would show up at the same points in the same songs. When I tried to delete one of my troubled songs and to transfer it again on my device via USB, the skipping was gone. This makes me guess this is some kind of memory problem. Furthermore, I can't do the replace thing for all of my 4000+ songs; if I delete all of my songs and then I transfer all of them again, the hiccups show up again randomly in other songs.
During this time, I made the switch from stock 4.4.4 to CM11, and then back to stock 5.0 when it came out a month ago, but this issue has always been present. I recorded an example of an hiccup and I attached it here. You can clearly hear that at 3 and 19 seconds mark. Has this kind of issue affected someone else? Can it be solved at all?
Anyone?

Sounds like you're having file transfer problems to me. Not sure how you can fix that. Maybe try a different method of getting music on your phone.

[Q] Get playlists back into Google Music???

Jeeze I hope this in in the right place! sorry if it's not. I keep my music on my phone, and don't stream at all. I do flash my phone a bit, and often do full wipes. I just re-load my music from my laptop back onto my phone. But any of the playlists I've set up seem to only then appear when I have Google Music set to download music too. But to save on data I normally have that turned off. When I create a playlist using the songs on my phone it's there when downloading is turned off. But after a reinstall and reload of my music it only appears when I have downloading on and the only way it works is if I allow it to download the playlist again, even though the music is already on my phone.
Does anyone know a way to get the playlist back into my Google Music account without actually downloading the songs which are already there on my phone.
Thanks heaps

Google play all access issues

Hi guys,
Recently I have issues with Google play all access playing downloaded files. The sound stops, but the time keeps ticking as if it is playing. If I turn the screen off, the music plays fine. If I stream through the same app, as opposed to downloaded music, it's also fine.
I did a factory reset which totally fixed the issue, but came back only a few weeks later.
Short of continuous factory resets, any ideas? This is obviously incredibly annoying.
Other players play local music fine, but as I own very little music, it's all streamed, this wouldn't really work as an alternative...
Thanks in advance!
