Music player problem - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, encountered a problem with the music player (stock) not displaying albums.All was fine until today when i opened the player to discover no albums.All are there if storage is selected or browsed through file explorer but non show up in the player.Dont recall doing anything that would cause a problem,they just semed to disapear.Any help would be great TIA.
Job done I removed all the music and copied it all back on again and it popped back up.

Just resetting the medialibrary would have done the same.

I did reset the library several times but it just would not show up. Not had the problem before and not had it since, but the fix worked so all good? Thanx for your input anyways.

Is it the pre-installed?
If it is.... you should try some other ,that could work better.
Maybe its a bug , that will be fixed on the next update.

The problem inst the actual player but the android media scanner, it seems to have problems with large media libraries, deleting and copying the files again does work sometimes but not always, best way to be shure you won't have any problems is to use Power AMP, you can find it in the market, that will never have that problem because it has it's own way of scanning the folders

Phone hang while playing music

I encountered a problem with my SGS2 GT-i1900G. My phone tends to hang while I'm listening to music using headphone.Usually it stuck when the phone was in standby mode. I'm a newbie, please give me some advise. I had tried to store my music on external sd and also internal storage but the problem still occurred.I had tried all the best that I can includes:-
1. Factory recovery.
2. Close down all unused apps.
Please. I need help
Delete the cache your music / wipe the dalvik cache via recovery
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
S2 hang while listening to music
Glad i found someone else encounter the same issue.
It happened to me as well while on earphone and phone went idling. I am also on S2 I9100G. When this happens, i need to take out the battery too.
I have changed a couple of memory card. From kingston to sandisk.
Nothing works. At first, i thought it was memory card but if like the OP mentioned. It happened to internal memory. It will happen all the time.
I am using the default music player. I notice that the player would not play in background because once you press the phone button. The music player stop.
My next trial would be using the winamps player and not the default player to see if this still happen. Winamp (widget) allows simultaneous running of other thing while listening to music.
Hope someone found a solution for this. It looks like a manufacturer defects. Either hardware or software.
I'm having this issue too, hope it gets fixed
Tried winamps, same thing.
I have tried winamps. Same problem still.
This sucks.
strangr u all using the default smmy headphones???????try a diff one and post the result
I have used different headphones with my s2 but the problem still there!...wht i think when ur using mobile network switch from 3G to 2G e.g, music player get hangs...

Music just keeps stoping

Hi guys
Getting fed up every time I try to play my music it keeps stopping and I have to keep restarting the music.
I do not have my phone rooted at all.
Does anyone know why it's happening.
Thanks for any help guys

I have this problem as well, I figured it was because all my music was on a Class 2 SD card and the player would stop if the next file didn't load quick enough.
It only plays so much of the song then stops.
But I installed TSF launcher and played the music with no problems at all hmmmmm.
So what's going on?
Sent from my GT-I9300
yes i've experienced that random stop in previous XXALEF.
and no it's not because of the microsd card because i have a class 6 not class 2 as mentioned here. and i've used this microsd full of mp3s in my previous phones.
never experienced it again on XXALF6.
I'm on XXALF2
like I said my phone is not rooted at all.

Did you try a different music player?
Not yet will give it a try

Likely you are experiencing this due to low RAM. If you installed a new launcher and it works fine then the Touchwiz launcher probably uses a lot of RAM causing music to stop.

That just can't be... Proof is here:

I've only ever had this in the past using faulty headphones. Maybe not related to your issue though but never know.

Given up using my phone for music because of this, all music players gave me issues whilst browsing, just listen to the radio now. Crap. I'd try a reboot though, helped me shirt term.
You can always try on another rom (with more RAM free). Or try other headphones just in case
I have had this on a few occasions with the default player .What i discovered was a message flashed up (not persistent notification so probably missed it before) saying no track exists or track not found. Cant recall exactly the message but looking into it realised some tracks were in different formats so basically player couldn't read them so instead of moving to next shuffled track player just stops.
Other thing is some of my music files are in bit of a mess due to importing to SD cards ,phones etc using various apps and methods few wav Flac aac in the mix to.
So just an idea to check your music files with a file manger see everything is in order and which formats though i think default player is meant to play most formats.
Personally i mostly use Poweramp have for few years on devices, like the default player but cant scrobble and prefer widget with no background
I'd say this is a problem with the software. I have had this problem as well. Samsung will need to look into this for sure. If my music gets interrupted at all, i have to kill the process and start it again. I'm not sure if the problem lies in communication between BT, aux jack or what.
Maybe its due to the motion control..Go to settings>Motion>Go to "Turn over to mute/pause" option> Turn it off> Might solve the problem, Not sure!:silly:
Also try turning off "Palm touch to mute/pause" option in "Settings>Motion" itself

Interesting, think you maybe on to something with that palm touch thing, after all I've taken loads of screenshots in my pocket..
After upgrading my phone to ZSALF1 (hong kong bought), this seems to have fixed the problem with the music starting.
Incidentally, I also turned off the motion to capture the screen as I also had taken screenshots in my pocket. Annoying.
Cheers

Sound stopped working on my Slimrom

Hi guys,
Sounds and ringtones have suddenly stopped working. Didnt do anything nor did the phone fell or something. :S
Another issue when i try to play any media file, it wont play, it just stops and never plays. I can move along the timeline of music file but it wont play i.e. it remains paused but indicator stays along the timeline e.g. 3 minute song, i press play button, it stays on 00:00, then when i move slider to say 1:50, it goes there but nothing happens, just stays on 1:50. App does not crash. Same in video files.
Even system sound files are not playing, so i cannot receive any sound notifications from call or messages.
I've tried with handsfree too, nothing :s
Thanks!

If that doesn't work, fresh flash with full wipe might.
???
Did a full wipe reflash...still problem persists.
I do not think its necessarily a hardware problem because it just wont play media files. As I said, all music and video files are on auto-pause... no matter what i do, i can slide on timeline, but they just remain paused.
Flash a different rom and use a different music/video player.
Tried and tried...exact same issue.
System sounds wont play (when msg or call)
Media files, music and videos remain in 'pause' state, tho I can drag to forward and rewind but they wont play, they'll remain paused and if i do it alot, app whatever it be, crashed. Exactly same problem in youtube in browser as well.
:S

I see you must still be trying to figure out this issue. If reflashing doesn't fix it, it must be a hardware issue.
I am Jack's smirking revenge.
Dont think this is a hardware issue.
I came to this exact same issue in op after odin to stock through sticky, rooting it, flashing cm7 and then flashing slim.
Now no matter what backup i restore the sound doesnt work!
Problem with recovery? Odin tar ? Need help.

[Q] podcast track position not saving on V10

Hi all,
I just picked up the T-Mobile variant and have not yet rooted or anything, however I am using the fix hifi dac app which a chap kindly posted on here and the play store.
I used to use the free version of podkicker however I have now purchased pocket casts. The issue I am having on my new V10 is that I will listen to a podcast for say 30minutes,then I come back to the same file later in the day to resume and both podkicker and pocket casts show the position as being 30mins in however when I hit play it aways goes back the beginning, has anyone else had this problem and know if it is unique to this phone or if there is some android issue I've not had previously?
I have searched on google and here but I have not been able to find the same issue anywhere.
Any help you can give would be appreciated!
Ps. Forgot to mention I've cleared cache and reinstalled the apps also, tried with different podcast files too!
Thanks
I have done more testing and it appears only happen with m4a files with mp3 unaffected.

mp3-Troubles with Febuary-Patch 00WW_1_400_SP01

Hi there,
after installing the Securitypatch for Febuary 2020, I found out that mp3-files wont be played on the phone. I tried differend players, but all failed. Other audio-files of format ogg are played furthermore.
Maybe the licence for mp3-files is missing in that patch?
Regards, Jens

Have you tried selecting the mp3 file from a file manager app instead of a player; or maybe the opposite different player and select mp3 file.
Have you tried different mp3 files?
No issues on my end.
Might also check default file association. Phone may be trying to launch corrupt app by default, even when you are trying to use a different app. It has been known to happen.
Check
SETTINGS - - > APPS & NOTIFICATIONS - - > expand Advanced and look to see if you have any app set to default for audio files.
If so delete the association.
It does not delete the app just the default launch everytime the type of file tries to open (run).
Hope this helps.
Sent from my Nokia 7.2 using XDA Labs
I can confirm this bug too. It's already been posted on several forums, one even regarding a Nokia 4.2, so it's not just Nokia 7.2.
Someone suggested that only mp3 files that are stored in the SD card aren't usable, but I have all my mp3 files on my internal memory and I still get this bug. (I tried removing my SD card anyway but nothing changed)
Not all files aren't working, though. Some mp3 files are working but most of them aren't.
A temporary fix is installing VLC. It's working fine for me. There are other 3rd party players that supposedly still work but I haven't tried any. Musicolet and Google Files app aren't working for me for sure.
It's a very annoying bug! I hope a fix is on the way :/
