i am currently on evil fascinate 3.5.1, this rom is AWESOME, looks great and runs fast and reliable. the only issue i have is that no matter what music player i use, within 2-10 minutes, the player either closes(with no fc warning) or reboots entirely. i searched the evil fascinate post and saw only lockscreen music control issues, i have had no such issues, just the player itself. any help will be greatly appreciated.

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.
Was just wondering what you all thought of the stock music player, and why so many of you hate it?
I personally love it, it's very simple and easy to use. The sound quality is great.
I've tried powerAMP,etc. But I always come back to the stock music player.
I prefer the stock over PlayerPro, which I bough for my Motorola Atrix. It just feels more "intergrated" and functional. Love the status bar controll

I personally prefer the stock player, for the same reasons mentioned above. The specific things that I like:
- Notification controls
- Stock lock screen controls
The only dislike:
- No widget
I'm currently using Music Timer Widget which works really nicely with the stock music player. I have also tried the controls provided via Widgetsoid2.x and although they do work, the view isn't always updated correctly.
The stock player was unusable for me for two reasons:
1. No widget. There are a couple of widgets on the market that claim to work with it, but the only one that worked for me only worked sometimes, and was slow to respond and update.
2. It forgets the last playing position. This happened to me a lot, and turned out to be a deal breaker for me.
I switched to winamp and have been relatively happy with it (gapless playback and jumping to current artist or album would be nice, but I can live without them).
Dont dislike the stock music player, but for some reason it i didnt feel "at home" with it.
I dont like the look of PowerAmp but its my preferred choice (love how it downloads album art for me)
For me, the biggest problem was the lack of support for M3U playlists; all my other devices support them, so I had a number already made when I got the SGS2.
Playerpro + dsp 10 bands equalizer
You also have several widgets, lock screen replacement, shake control, hands free controls, skins and more.
For those using A2DP, the stock player is the only one that transmits song/artist data to devices capable of receiving it. It also supports shuffle and repeat that a lot of other players don't.
I usually listen to podcasts that lasts 30+ minutes or so.
The stock player doesn't remember the position if you exit.
It's fine if you're listening to a 2 minute song, but with a 30+ mins podcasts, it is more likely you won't listen to it in one sitting, but would come back to it several times a day or a week.
I personally use Ice Cream Sandwich - Google Music 4.0 ..
it has a nice user interface yo !
im using Poweramp - mainly cause i bought it for my Xperia Arc to playback .flac files.. and i like the App.. so figured might as well keep using it on the s2
i'm a stock music fan too,tried several but always come back to it,plain simple and good quality
The only thing I don't like about the stock player is that it forgets what I was playing if I exit it. Other than that it's really good. Samsung should do something about that.

Stock player is alright. But PowerAMP was worth just every single buck!
Functionality wise stock player is ok.
But when it comes to equalizer, I settled with PowerAMP.
Like PowerAMP for the following reasons.
1. 32Hz equalizer
2. Bass knob in addition to equazlier
3. Lock screen
4. Widget
Hey there....... I'm experiencing music playback problems since I came over to DarkyROM2 XXKG2 Odexed Base 3. I've posted this question on the DarkyROM Forum and no one seems to have a clue as to what my problem is.
I'm primarily playing MP3 and FLAC files........ out of about 50 songs in my playlist so far, only two playback at the proper speed and it's never the same two, the balance playback so fast that a 4 minute song goes by in about 8 - 12 seconds. I've tried several music players PowerAmp Pro, ProPlayer, Mixzing etc. all to no avail.
Is there someone out there that can point me in a direction to some answers, I've been searching forums for the past four days and have found nothing that works.
Thanks
That looks like its the rom you are using change the rom to a stock rom and test .
jje
Reset my phone back to stock ROM and the music playback problems persist. Same old thing Alvin and the Chipmunks on all tracks.
Anyone out there have an answer?
I've been having issues with downcast, winamp, and the stock samsung music player with random pausing of playback. Downcast informed me it was doing this because another app was requesting audio focus. This happened on the stock rom and on the current debloated rom I'm running.
Anyone have any ideas?

After researching a bit it looks like this is a fault of Winamp, it asks for audio focus causing other apps to pause even when you're not using winamp to play anything. Just thought i'd post in case someone else has the same issue.
Hello everyone.
My question is about apps that kill itself.
I was using Rocket Music Player (cracked) and suddenly it started to close it self. Not crash, just music stopped playing. Decided to buy PowerAMP and problem remains. Today I've discovered that ont only music players do that, but even bulit-in FM Radio player and some other apps. That issue appeared recently (after ~8 months of using).
Phone has 1 GB RAM (full spec: search for GOCLEVER INSIGNIA 5 GOCLEVER.COM UK - can't post link as new registred ).
Apps close even when screen is off.
And finally - I DON'T have any taskkillers. Yes, I'm sure. Here's where problem begins.
Any ideas? Anything? What should I do more to diagnose? It's really irritating.
Thanks in advance
We ever get any answer to this? I've experienced this with Dood's Music Player, MX Radio (port), almost all the podcast apps I've tried, etc.
