I've been using my Q pretty often but only to listen to music so far and I really like it except for one pretty significant problem. I have ~6000 songs on Google Music and what I like to do is random play all of them. But the 1000 playlist limit for the Q doesn't allow this. Basically I go to all songs on my device, select a song I want to hear, put it in shuffle mode (if it wasn't already) and the Music app on the device builds a 1000 song playlist of the next 999 songs below the one I picked so it will only play random selections from those 1000. If I then go find a song from a different part of my library that isn't in that 1000 song list and click "Add to Living Room" I get the "Limit Reached" error. I certainly hope they fix this limitation or it may make me go back to using an iPod as my primary music source for outside.

Wow, so I hit shuffle all and it adds all the A's B's and so on until it hits 1000. This is a pretty big design flaw in my opinion.
I created a playlist of my favorite songs, they play fine on my computer but when I go to play them on my phone they all skip to the next song in an endless cycle. Playing the songs individually or as an album eliminates the problem. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
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?
Hello all, I am searching the net for a music app which will auto-crossfade a playlist of tunes. According to the description, it seems that the Rocket Player app can do this but I installed it and there's a gap between the tunes. Is there any other app I can try or if Rocket player can do this, how can I get support from it's developer please?

Thanks, I tried it, it is not auto-crossfading so I have written to the developer for help.
what do you mean by "auto-crossfading". if it has anything got to do with fading out the end of the current song and fading into the new song its there

I mean I select a playlist and the software will play every song on it's own without myself having to select song after song, like a shuffle feature but it will crossfade every tune so no gaps in between the tunes.
BlackPlayer! Does it all... I like a lot this new minimalistic toy

Same deal with blackplayer, even though the "gapless" option is selected it is not crossfading, would you mind checking the audio preferences in blackplayer on your android phone and let me know what else is checked so I can set mine the same way please?
You could try PlayerPro. Been with for ages, and always come back to it. It's even running right now, crossfading as you wish

i think what you're looking for is something like Mix and Mash on iTunes. This program allows you to choose the songs you like (either individually or by playlist) and then you crossfade songs for any length of time. Plus, you don't have to play the entire song, you can choose to play whatever amount of time you would like and songs usually begin playing somewhere in the middle, so you don't have to listen to the beginning or end of a song.
Is there an app like this for android???
Poweramp. It's not free, but I believe there is a trial. I've used it for years now. It's one of the few apps have made the journey from Gingerbread to Nougat with me, lol... Turn on the cross-fading in the settings, and play any song from the 'All Songs' list. You can turn on shuffle or let the list play in order. There are two settings [other than off] under Auto-advance fading, one is to only crossfade songs that aren't gapless and the other is to crossfade all songs. You might have to change the setting to the 'Crossfade all songs' setting, as many songs I've tried don't seem to do it. This creates a problem if you want to listen to an album that is gapless (no delay between tracks), so toggle the setting as needed
I found one called media monkey and it has a cross-fade in the settings. throw a playlist in and it mixes all tracks with no silence
In case anyone is still looking, the best crossfade I found is "neutron music player" (evaluation version). All other players (Pi music player, dub music player) I tried will "crossfade" only if I follow playlist order, but there is an obvious break if I randomly pick a song from the list. I use this app to play pad music and have to choose different files as needed instead of following the order of playlist.
However, neutron has really horrendous interface compared to others. Not user friendly at all, I would have given it up immediately if I could find something else that works.
I have downloaded some mp3 files on my phone, the problem is that some mp3 files after I download wont go to a certain time stamp. For example: this song is 5 minutes long and its playing on my music player, I want that song to go at [3:51] in the song duration, but it instead redirects the time stamp at [1:13] when I press on the song duration bar and(where you press play and skip). Since they don't want to go at the time stamp( example [3:51]) that I wish for, I tried it on my computer and the files played fine when I played it on Groove Music and went to that actual time stamp like it should. And I noticed that this app "Music Speed Changer" can also go the actual time stamp but my normal music player wont let me do that. So I want to know if there are any apps that can go to the desired time stamp that's also a music player that has playlists, genres category etc. or if there are any alternate solutions. Btw I have a theory that this happens bc of of the phone I use bc its 6 years old, idk if this problem only occurs on older phones, and work fine on newer models.
Overall I just want this complex coding within the music speed player that lets my files play at any time stamp on my normal music player, as that one seems to lack the coding commands that let it play at any timestamp regardless of the mp3 file.
Also I would post a link to a video displaying the problem but I'm new so the website won't let me atm.

I would recommend you to download a new music player, if that's the case.
There's a bunch of good and free music players, such as: VLC (also plays videos), Google Play Music, BlackPlayer Music Player, Spotify, etc.
