Amaze music player will not play full mp3?
OK all; I’ve had this issue with both of my phones (one went swimming). It didn’t bother me so much before as I had not yet did the full merge for phone only use of music. NOW that I am using my cell as mp3 player like I should, this bugs the **** out of me!!! ***ANY help or knowledge on this matter will save me from doing another destructive test! *****
What happens is when I play any mp3 file that is longer than a normal or standard track it switches to the next track without finishing the current one. Such as a 1.5 hr continuous mix, around ten minutes in it switches to the next mp3 file (whether it’s a downloaded noise for ring tone, or the beginning of another track). Sucks with earbuds in on a quiet track and then BAM-a loud track –or vice versa –totally makes me wanna throw this $500 cell!!
I have tried using the google player, the other music player, switching from cell hard drive to removable card—does not make any difference. It will play single normal tracks of course but they are not as long and does not have the time to skip ahead.
One of the main reasons I am using the phone is for the ability to skip through long tracks/mixes. I don’t know if it is an amaze issue, android issue, sd card format issue, music placement on card issue or what. I have tried many things and am willing to do whatever it takes if someone knows a fix. A diff music program/root? I have a stock cell now.
It will happen when I am using headphones or plugged into car audio .
I sure hope someone has come across this ! Thanks in advance for any response!
Anyone? I mean, have any of you tried to play an eBook mp3? Maybe a school lecture? A long DJ mix? ----and have it play all the way through? Like past 10 minutes?
Maybe you have shake to shuffle enabled.. otherwise my long EDC mixes play just fine I think
Just for you I played a 1hr+ MP3 on a 32Gb class 10 card,
27 mins in, playing fine. Try copying your tracks to your internal memory or re-converting them from CD?

Thank you sooooooo much for a reply! And EDC type muze is exactly what I am talking about! I tried it again w/ a long mix and at 10 min 26 sec every time BAM-skips to nxt track or sound. I have headphones plugged in and cell is still on desk (no movement) so no shaky. Where do you have your files? on an sd card or phone memory? Are they listed in folders? Any details will help !!!! If yours is working then mine should!!! aaaaaaarrrgh!

THANKS FOR TESTING FOR ME!!! yeah mine again --10min 27 sec switches? I too have a 32gb card. i have played them on the cell mem and sd card with same response. The tracks that i am referring to are actually not on a disc but only a file so cannot re-convert. They play as they shld everywhere but on cell. I dont know if there is a time out feature/limit? But i have not found one. I have taken them out of folders and put just on the drive main page to see if there is a change ( at s/o request) but there is no diff. Where do you store you mp3 files and how if I may ask? THANKS AGAIN for your time!!!!! This is so frustrating to me for an otherwise very pleasant phone!

THANKS! I shall DL that app right now. One more question...where are your music files located on your SD card? Are they in a folder? If so what do you have it labeled as? (dont know if that makes any difference). Or are the mp3 files just "ON" the cards "main menu" screen that comes up when you access the SD card, and not in a folder? Thanks again for your time and response!

Yeah, created a file on root of the SD called "Music"
GL, hope it works
Ohhhhhhhhh laaaaaaaaaawd
OHHHHHHHHH MY LAAAAAAAAAAWD HAVE MERCY ON ME !!! I couldn't, nay.......shouldn't just simply bow out of my thread with my tail b/t my legs--without an explanation. It was some sort of corrupted mp3 files! 3 of them. All from the same source. They played fine everywhere but the Amaze. I played others that were from a diff source and they will play through no problem. So I went back to the files and monitored as well as listen closely and there is a slight hiccup at the 10:26 time, which in effect would trigger something in the Amaze with 3 diff music players, to skip forward. But does not affect playing on a PC or CD.
It was fueled by the emotion I had towards these mixes and I HAD to have them and hear them!! I should have tried others more effectively.
Thank you two for your help, even though it was me at fault on this end.
On a positive note this has inspired me to go ahead and root my Amaze. This will be my first root. There are some awesome ROMS out there, now...I just have to pick one.
Thanks again for your time and response's, all is well with the Amaze.

As far as I can tell, if you don't have a Google Music cloud account, the app doesn't behave any differently than the stock android music app.

I've also tested GingerBlur 3.1 with a Market install of Music 3.0 Beta as well as copying with root explorer . It installs, but the Settings menu vanishes. I'd be interested to hear from someone that has Music Beta on Atrix AND has the settings menu within the Music application. This menu can be seen on Music 3.0 included with GingerBlur 3.1. One thing we know bout Music 3.0 is that it breaks the car dock based music track navigation feature. I'm reverting to the previous version for the time being, until we have another something to play with,
I just got my invite!
Had to get on my laptop to accept the new Music terms and conditions
Prompted to download "google music manager".exe
Asked if Id like to add free music from various genres - i did
Asked where i keep my music? Itunes, Win media, folder
Pointed it to my music folder
Found 10,000+ songs
Uploads just happen in the background afaik
Now the atrix!
Opened Google Music app, scrolled around. Nothing.
Phone settings>accounts>Google> no Music checkbox to tick
Back to Google Music app
[popup] you have been selected for Google Music Beta!
Allowed my Google account
I can see cloud music mixed in with the music on my phone
Sounds good.
No stutters.
The settings menu is now available in the gMusic app:
Cache music, hide unavailable, download via wifi, etc
Back to phone settings, accounts, google
Music now appears with a checkbox for sync
This was my first hand experience with Google Music beta, just thought Id share. i already use Amazon Cloud and bought 100gb and I am very happy with it. I will not be buying cloud from Google this year, Amazon beat them to it. Im still interested to see what features are added to both services over the next 11 months, then comes the hard decision. Of course if its true that Google is deleting pirated music, that makes up my mind. Ill know soon enough I guess.

Useful feedback, thanks for sharing! Can you confirm that with music 3.0: in landscape, there is no pull down notifications menu at the top of the screen; and if you have the Moto Atrix Car Dock, the large music thumb button does not work. I mention this as the later is the main reason why I backreved to music 2.0 player. Thanks.

Tip: You don't have to upload all of them at once. You can upload it, shut down computer, turn it back on later and it will resume.

Ensure that you have music 3.0 from the market installed. You may need to resart your phone. Then launch the music app and go to settings. From there you need to select "Google Account" and the choose the specific named account that you want to add music sync. That should do it.
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
Sent from my GT-I9300
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.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Did you try a different music player?
Not yet will give it a try
Sent from my GT-I9300
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.

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.

Ok. This is my first time ever buying music from the PlayStore and I want to make the song I just bought into a ringtone. My problem is I don't know where the song is located. I checked all the normal storage areas and folders. I still can't seem to find it.
My noob question for the month.
Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

i thought google play music stored the music online on its servers so you would be streaming and not playing directly from storage on device. its my guess since I dont use it bc of this idea that I have
It is stored on their servers but you can download it buy making it available off line. It's best to do it on a PC and transfer it to your device.

So here's the deal, I love a certain soundtrack on Mushroom Wars.
Someone uploaded a version of it from the PS3 version [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY54xegYEX4 ] but it seems the audio's been compressed by youtube. If possible I want to get the .ogg or whatever native format it's in, un-truncated.
So I've taken the .apk [ uploaded it here https://www.mediafire.com/?7vih6xsb0murslz ] and unzipped it and found ./assets/sound2/ which is about 11MB. I sorted by the highest size, and it shows several soundtracks, but none of them is the right one. The rest are short sound effects.
I know for a fact that the music has played on a multiplayer mode, on my tablet a couple weeks or months back. [I checked thenk, but same as now, couldn't find it].
If anyone can show me where the music file is or upload it, that would be great.

No, it doesn't really help because I never know when the soundtrack will come on [it's somewhat random which track will play, depending on the map, which is also random]. Even then, it would have game sound effects mixed in, and I just want the raw track.
I just cannot figure out where they are hiding that specific track, or why they would try to do it. The others are easily found but I'm still drawing a blank why they [Mushroom wars developers] would do that.

I was going thru the files (thanks for the apk) and noticed that on the music tracks, they're long and have like 10 songs in each track (or something like that). Basically, it's like 1 long file and every minute or so there's a new sound track in the file. Did you listen to all of them?
I swear that on PS3 there's a "CHICKIE" sound effect and in the apk I only found a "Chingie" sounding thing. I'm gonna have to play it on the PS3 and get the sound I heard cuz I want it for a notification tone
EDIT:
Also, as for recording it, if you can get at least a 10 second snippet of the 'track' you want, I'm willing to hunt thru the apk for it. Wouldn't hurt, right?
i have found some soundtracks of mushroom wars on SOUNDCLOUD.
I accquired a 128 GB SD card a while back after losing my iPod. This was put into my phone hoping it could be a worthy replacement and also more practical that I would only need one device to carry around all the time. My problem however is that most music apps if not all are really slow to browse and they also trigger the "Do you want to close the application" dialogue when they are launched. They eventually respond, but having to wait for that each time is really cumbersome.
Is there anything I can do to get a faster experience with music players in general? I mostly use shuttle+, but other players are really slow to use aswell. I do have a big library of about 100 gigs and about 15k songs, so maybe that plays a part.

Even your laptop will have delay to load 100GB of data! and maybe freeze if load them immediately.\
anyway If you think there is unusual delay in media play app first check the sd-card format
(format it to FAT32)
and also tell about sd-card detail? brand? is it C10/U1?
> for stock music play (Walkman)
- clear cache/data and force stop then install the latest update (you can find simply by a search)
- If it doesn't help try to repair firmware of phone by PC companion
> for 3rd party music player
- just contact its developer (tell them about amount of data + details of sd-card and phone)

It's formatted to exFAT, isn't that supposed to be suitable? It's a 128GB sandisk C10 card. Regarding the amount of data, it doesn't play slowly on any computer. I can easily make a library of the songs in itunes and play songs with album art etc without any issues. The walkman application, while good, doesn't have thumb scrolling meaning that it will take ages to go through several thousand artists. Shuttle+ has this along with many other players. Clearing cache etc. doesn't fix it, neither does a soft/hard reset of the phone.
