Do you have the gallery set to auto close?

im not having this problem, but i am having a simaler one. I started noticing to today, i was listening to a song and around 30 seconds it started playing another song. then i restarted it and it just stopped at the middle. happened to other songs as well. it gets really annoying. it has done it on 3 music players, including the default.

You need to make sure that the music player, gallery and purchased music are NOT on the auto-end list in the Task Manager.

[Q] Stock Music Player Crashes. A lot. Anyone else got this?

I can consistently make the stock Music app crash. I just go and select a song or album from the library (usually by Artist), which will cause it to start playing music. Then I go and select another song and it will crash with the message the music player "has stopped unexpectedly" etc. etc. "Force Close". If it doesn't crash immediately, I just try playing another song. Switching songs twice does it every time.
I have almost 7.5GB of music, which I guess is a lot, but shouldn't cause crashes. I sync using Winamp on my desktop, though I think I also had the issue synching with other applications. Other apps work mostly fine. Winamp rarely crashes. MixZing and DoubleTwist have never crashed.
I thought it was the phone, so I took it back to the Sprint store. The Sprint guy remarked how hot my phone was (didn't seem out of the ordinary to me) and gave me a brand new phone. My music is on my 16GB SD card, so I tried it out 5 minutes after swapping to the new phone and it still crashes (though about all my other, unrelated phone problems have been fixed).
I've uploaded a video of this current phone crashing to YouTube, but I don't have enough posts to link to an outside URL.
Anyone else having this issue? Not like I need to use the stock player, but I'm just curious if this is only me.
I'm also having that problem. Thought it was just me, but I guess not. I have no idea how to fix it.

Not just you guys. I've been able to re-create that same crash, and have since I got the phone. It's not my music collection, as the exact same collection on the exact same SD card plays perfectly on the stock HTC Playler on my Evo 4G. It's the newer HTC Music app, it's buggy. I've posted about this in the 'current bugs' thread, and also over at Android Forums. Some other people also get the problem. Hopefully HTC will address it. I think a lot of other users don't notice this is because they use a 3rd party music player, such as google music beta, or poweramp or something like that. I like the stock player though, because of the lockscreen music widget
Thank god. Thought I was taking crazy pills.
Are you guys getting this while headphones plugged in? I had this issue intermittently, grabbed an app on the market called headset blocker widget, haven't had the issue since. I have not had the issue on speaker. ymmv

Nope, I've had this issue without headphones. Headphones will only cause the player to skip and pause, and I got Headset Blocker for that.
Haven't really use it so no idea or much info but there is a nice app in the market is call power AMP and is great player, you can download a free version or buy the full one for 5$ really good and great developer to, btw it has EQ options integrated and it works great
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
My HTC Music Player is also buggy. Although, instead of force closing it just shuts down and I have to reboot. I am on my second 3VO handset, but I had the exact same probem with my first one.
I just started using RealPlayer Beta, works well...
I've been having all sorts of issues with the stock app as well, crashing and music skipping. Glad I read this thread though. Appreciate being pointed to the fix to my songs skipping. thanks.

Try clearing the data and cache in the music player .

Re-add songs to the library. That will fill the list again and you can skip to the next song.
No clue if the list will survive a re-boot...
The music player also has a bug where if a play list has finished playing and you leave the phone for a while, when you select another song to play it'll start playing a completely different song (one that was played earlier)
It doesn't happen all the time though. Probably about 4 times a day out of 5 hours of music.

music pauses when opening apps?

well the app itself keeps running, just that the music just "blacks out" for a short period. for example, im playing a song. at 00:10 i open an app, and the music blacks out, even though the music player is still running. then the music returns at say, 00:13. is the s3 supposed to stutter like that? =( or isit a problem with the default music player?
sounds like a buffering problem, with power amp you can tweak buffer settings,

New problem: Sense music losing its memory

This just started recently. I will listen to music. Then several hours after stopping, my music player widget and app both show "Choose songs from your library to play some music..."
This never used to happen. It would always remember right were it was playing when it stopped.
Phone has not been rebooted since playing stopped.
Stock Rooted ICS.
Thanks!
Anybody? Please?
Not entirely sure what the problem is.

Any way to stop stock music player from autostarting on BT connect?

I've searched and can't find anything, but I need to find a way to stop the stock music player from playing when my phone connects to my car's BT. I use Google play music and want that one to auto start, but every freaking time I start my car, the Samsung player starts that dumb preloaded song.
Honestly, I don't care if I can't get play music to autostart, I just want the Samsung one to stop. And yes, I've tried disabling the app, but it can't be, at least non-rooted. So, any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Is Google Play Music set as the default music player? I haven't rooted my phone or anything, it's completely stock and just by setting Google Play Music to the default on Day 1 of getting this phone (April 8th) it always auto starts when I connect via Bluetooth.

I never got the option to set it as default and I didn't see anything about it in application manager. Any idea where to find it?
OK, figured it out in a round about way. I had to open a .mp3 in Samsung's file explorer and then it asked me for the default. So let's see if it works.
@Hendrycks
Thanks! It worked.
That didnt work for me. Upon linking to BT in my car, the stock Samsung player still auto starts. I have tried setting play music as default, I have set Player Pro as default. it still auto launches the stock crappy Samsung player app. Ideally I dont want it to auto launch any app. I use Pandora alot in my car and since it auto launches the samsung app, that means my car stereo does not display the track info for the playing song in Pandora on the screen.
Sooo annoyed
I have the same exact issue and it is driving me crazy. I have tried everything in the phone and settings and there is nothing. I have downloaded both Connect and Play, and Smart Connect as bluetooth connectors but the stupid factory music beats it to the punch every time. Nothing works! I am about to chuck my phone. Someone please help!
me too
Does anyone have another suggestion? This happens to me if I even "pause" my podcast player too long. Truely annoying.
I am going to try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
So far, with the UI, it does look like it has the right settings/options.
Sorry to bump this but came across this while trying to sort this very same issue. I'v found an app called Package Disabler Pro in the Play Store . The best thing is that it works without root.. It isn't free but I thinks if you been looking for something thats solves this issue its worth it. It worked for me so hope it works for you. And if you try it quick enough you can get a refund if it don't work
Download Trigger, I have mine set so when it connects to bluetooth it launches Google music but you can choose anything you want or nothing at all!

I have the same problem. I installed Trigger, but it didn't work. What task did you add?
The best I came up with was denying access to storage in the application's settings. Now it just prompts me to give it permission when I connect to bluetooth. At least that horrid song doesn't play anymore.
Have you tried Tasker ? Had same problem myself on S6 Edge, but after a little fiddling with Tasker. The default "music" closes, tunein radio is launched & my volume levels are adjusted. I can revert back to "music" by pressing play/pause on hands free.
