[Q] Music player issue - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to listen music in background while doing something else (read a document, surfing on net, etc.) ? More exactly i mean is there any setting(s) for this situation or another player to install from playstore that doesn't interrupts the music while doing another thing ?
The default music player have this problem and is somehow disturbing.
Thx in advance!!

the installed music player DOES NOT stop when you are doing something in the background !!
if you somehow open a song from your "my files" folder and go to a specific song and play it and try to do something else in background it will stop
if you play direclty the installed application - Music player - and open songs from there you won't have such problems.....
all players work the same way...
it doesn't take much to be a genius...

[Q] Play a streamed MP3 file in background? Music and Sound player stop when closed

Disclaimer: New to Android, just got ATT Galaxy SII
When I click on an MP3 file, in Reader, for example, it asks me to launch in either Music or Sound player. Both of those programs stop playing audio when I try to do something else on my phone.
The 'Listen' app for podcasts can continue to play in the background, why won't it let me play the file through there?
-----------------------
I read through this thread but there was no definitive answer.
Hi. When you select an audio file from something like a file explorer, The media apps play that song as more of a preview.
If you want to keep them playing in the background (assuming music) try playing they by finding them in the music player itself. the audio should still play as long as you use the home button to navigate out of that app. (Back button ~ close)
Hope that helps

Thanks for assistance. But this MP3 file isn't stored on my device. It's a podcast hosted elsewhere.

Ahh. Sorry about that, I need to stop skimming when I read. I'm not very familiar with pod casts so unfortunately i can't help you further =[ Not sure why its not working for streamed files. Internet radio programs such as TuneIn radio work fine in the background for me.
Good luck and hopefully someone else can help

[Q] S-Voice and Music Control

Hey guys, I posted this in another forum, but never had any responses. I've also searched this site quickly and didn't see anything regarding this.
How well does S-Voice control music? I always play my music through bluetooth in my truck and I think it would be great to be able to change songs through voice commands. I've seen videos showing that S-Voice can start playing music, but none showing that it could actually play a specific song on request, (i.e. play *insert song here*). If S-Voice is not currently capable of doing this, would rooting the phone accomplish this with certain mods? I have never rooted a phone and I am looking forward to taking the dive with the GSIII.
And finally, when using S-Voice to play songs, will it only play through the stock music player, or could you play songs through Google Music?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help!
Hi there I assume if you make a third party music the default it would play from there but maybe not as then it wouldn't have the integration, I could test it if you like. And as far as music control goes its very good you can do loads of commands such as:
play
pause
stop
skip
then more advance commands like
play > alex claire too close
play > playlist bike songs
That is awesome... I do hope there is a way to make Google Music the default player as I much prefer streaming my music as opposed to taking up storage space on the phone.
Well I downloaded PlayerPro as I can't get Google music in the U.K (not legal anyway
) and I made it the default music player. Unfortunately even after doing this S-Voice will still open the song in the default Samsung music player.

[Q] Google Music Player shuffle

So i have stuck it out with google music. I have close to 7000 songs uploaded.
The one thing that kills me is shuffle on a playlist. It seems i keep getting the same songs playing and it never really shuffles through them all. After many google searches i see others having the same issue. Nothing recent though. Anyone else have this issue or know of google is aware?
Is it the player or the service? I dont know of any other cloud service like this except for the upcoming xbox music.
This shuffle thing is really annoying.

If Google Music gives some problems you can install a different player like Walkman works much better than the system app
I use the XPeria S Music Playe with Beats audio. It does the job
Do all of these work with the streaming of google music?

[Q] Google Music all access download

Hey guys,
just wondered, if theres any option to download the music out of google play music all access I put in a playlist. I mean wouldn't it be nice to hear it with some other player, so if connection struggles the music doesnt stop playing.
Yes offlinemode in mobile version is available, but can I extract them out of it, to do the same at my PC.
The App Cloudmusicimporter promises this much. But as I tried it, not one of my all access titles in the Playlists is shown and possible to download, just the ones I upped myself..
