Is anyone having battery drain issue with music streaming apps?
The screenshots are with like 30min of music playing.
I'm using Bluetooth buds and the eu ROM
Seems about par for the course for streaming music and using Bluetooth. Phone can't sleep and Bluetooth does uses a decent bit of battery.
No way this is correct, almost no screen power consumption

Is there a music player or codec substitution that draws less current?
When listening to MP3s with the stock player (or any player), I'm guessing it's probably the CODEC that drains the battery. I had a 2nd gen MotoRzr (W490) that I'd play MP3s with, and send audio with a2dp to bluetooth headphones. I could play music for hours with no noticeable impact on battery. When my G2x is behaving, the stock music player drains more than the Bluetooth or WiFi radio - the music player is the biggest single drain on the battery. A little disappointing...
Any suggestions to reduce current draw while listening to music?

I promise you'll be amazed at your battery draw
I listen to my mp3s with Voodoo controls amp powering my Beats By Dre headphones and there is very little battery drainage.
I have the Nexus 5 stock. When streaming Pandora (45-mins) with headphones only 3-5% battery is used.
Going the exact same route to work using Play Music streaming music (45 mins) with headphones it uses 10-12% battery.
Also I notice something called Media Sever is also at a high % of battery usage.
Both Apps are on Normal Quality
Google Music is streaming music that I have uploaded. (None of their subscription)
Can anyone explain why there is such a difference?

I use Rocket Player Pro and after like 30mins listening to music at about 50% volume with earphones, battery decreases by 7-8%. I have Adapt sound, tube amp pro and uhq upscaler on. On my tablet under the same conditions except the Samsung specific sound effects, battery decreases by only 2-3%..
Does listening to music on your s6 with head/earphones eat battery?
Let me start off and say this was not an issue when I first got my Pixel on 10/20/2016. During my lunch hour I enjoy browsing the web while streaming BT audio to my car. This past week however I have noticed my Pixel getting warm while doing this and my battery taking a huge hit with 1% dropping every 1 to 2 minutes. I then brought up my battery info which I’m listening below and I notice that Google play music is consuming more battery then my screen is during that time frame. I can see this being an issue if I was streaming music over LTE but that’s not the case. All of my music is downloaded through the Google play music app so there’s no streaming involved.
I then figured it might be because I’m rooted and I’m using Viper4Android which will eat some of the battery. I then did some testing and I monitored my CPU usage with 3C Toolbox Pro. Turning Viper4Android on and off during my tests I can figure it’s adding another 4% or 5% while playing MP3’s. That in itself should not eat battery like I listed above.
I then paused the music and swiped away the notification only to find out that Google play music was still running in the back ground and using a good 20% of the CPU……. Once I killed Google play music my CPU dropped down to 5% usage from a constant 25% to 30% while it was running in the back ground.
In the last screen shot please note I have paused the music over a min before I took this screen shot. During that min the CPU Consumption was 80.30%
Anyone else having issues with Google play music?
I've had the same issue from approximately the same time as you, I'm using a Note 4 though. Haven't found any fix yet unfortunately, have you?
My fix was to download all of my music and play it with black player. Since then no issues. There's no reason Google play music uses that much CPU.
recently i listen music on my xperia xz so i face problem that it drain battery so much, i don't know why. It use 7% / 16 minutes , and the phone heat up everytime after 5 min playing. When I listen to music, i don't touch phone screen at all ,screen is off, wifi off, bluetooth off , no background apps running. Music on my phone all mp3 format, DSEE is off, normalize off, just use equalizer ( than i turn off all music effects, use google play music in stead defaul music play and it still the same) . The thing is baterry on my phone kinda good. I got 5-6 hours SOT when use normal( web browse, etc...) . Does anybody got the same problem and how to fix????
Update: I know the issue on my phone. I use some app to get immersive mode use ABD command so i can hide navigation bar. But seem like immersive mode this way drain battery when screen off and if i play music with screen off it heat up my device. A lot of user got the same problem https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/help/immersive-mode-causing-battery-draining-t3621622/page3
Update 2 : I found a way to fix that issue. You have to exclude all music app out of immersive mode ( defaul music app, google play music, spotify,... )
anybody? I tried poweramp with build in it own music fx, i thought it was okey but it not, my phone still heat up and drain 7% per 18-20 minutes . cry how to fix????
Yeah I also got this problem. Dont know why, first thought it would be normal but now I am really sure it cant be normal.

I have updated to eXistenZ v.8.0.0 from v.7 and since 16:25 to 17:11 I have been listening music from Google Play Music (wifi) and my battery has descent from 63% to 59% and no heat issue.
You use eXistenZ than your phone probably rooted. I talk about use immersive mode without root with ABD command way
