My phone is rooted and all that, but it's fine... my wife has the same phone and she's running stock everything. Hasn't even changed the launcher. At some point (she didn't say when) music just stopped working. It's like the phone cannot play Mp3s. Amazon Music and Blur Music, both came with the phone, neither can play songs. These songs played fine before, and include songs on my phone (same phone, but rooted) that play fine on mine.
Amazon MP3 says something about an unexpected error and Blur Music says it does not recognize the file type. But the album covers as well as track/title/artist/album info, which are stored in the .mp3 file, come right up. So it's reading the MP3's metadata.
Reboot, I've had this before and it seems to
Go away when I reboot

When in doubt, reboot! Can't believe you didn't try that first

So my Atrix will not play a select few albums I ripped to my pc using iTunes. I don't know what to do as some of the exact same file types play flawlessly. I get an error saying that this file type is not supported for playback. Can any one point me in the right direction?

I had the same problem weeks ago and now that I have Google Music from the market they play in every app(that I have checked). Let me know if that works for you like it did me.
IAll my music and ringtones are synced from iTunes and I never have any issues. I use PlayerPro, and have found it's the best player for me.
You could also try converting the music to mp3 format.
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.
sorry if this has been posted before i really dont know what im doing buti have ics passion the newest build? and im having a problem with the music player it works for awhile and then it just goes in to "cannot play music at this time" and nothing works trying to get it to work and then i notice i have 5 of the same song and non of them play is there a fix to this or is there one on the way thnx
Yes it has but since this is your first post, we'll let it slide.
Go into Manage Apps->Musicplayer and clear cache and data. Reboot and Bam!! there you go.
Also don't forget for the future that your External_sd is now called EMMC just in case you need to direct something to your extsd card like 3rd party music player, camera,...
jyound New

This happens to me as well and this is how I solve it.
First, force exit the music player (I use long-press on the back button).
Second go to manage apps > music player > clear data and clear cache
third restart music player and go to settings and refresh music from google music
Give it a little bit. It take mine about 20 minutes to complete the refresh but I have about 16GB of music on my phone.
This should solve it but for good measure, I reboot into recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik, and fix preferences.
Let me know if this helps.
That EMMC threw me off for the longest time. I bounced off a couple ICS ROM's before I realized the external was mounting fine, lol. They should put that in the OP of ICS ROM's
i tried clearing the data and cache and rebooted
i did everything and nothing i even tried to delete all music off of it and putting it back on and it gives me the same message immediately am i cursed?
is there nothing i can do
ive tried all of the above and still nothing is there anything i can do i really like using my phone as a music player its kinda important to me should i just switch to an iphone?
Have you tried another music player?
Install winamp. If it works, then try reinstaling google music.

ive done it all
ive tried win amp and something else and when i tried those it just never played the song and there would be like 6 of the same song and non of them would play
Is the file type .mp3? If so it should play just fine.
Can you play the songs from the file browser? Try using "file explorer" or "root explorer", navigate to the folder that contains the music files and see if it plays from there. Sometimes after a fresh flash I need to do this to get music player to find the rest of my music folders.
Goodluck!
p.s. If you break down and buy an iphone send the vibrant to me dogg!
Try PowerAmp. It doesn't rely on the Android music scan or library. This eliminates the problem with tracks appearing multiple times. It also uses its own codecs and supports more formats.

I agree with the post above!
I had the "cannot play music" issue and tried the clearing of caches etc. nothing worked so I downloaded Power Amp and have been happy ever since.
So I have a few song I've downloaded from iTunes but they never show up in my music folder in my Bolt - what the hell, I actually legit bought these a while back and I can't play them!
If it means anything for this problem - My phone is rooted but not running any ROMs currently - I made it so far as flashing/running Thundershed but after shutting down my phone and booting it back up the ROM wouldn't load (spinning color cycle of death) so I had to revert back to my backup file which scared me away from messing around anymore. Yes, obviously I have no background knowledge in this area!
I believe itunes music is in this aac format and could have DRM. If DRM is not present, you just need to find a player that can play aac format. I DRM is present, you may need to get an ipod app for Android

Hello all.
I don't have access to the dev forum yet so I'm posting here. I have been running eclipse for a long time but recently tried CM7 and it is so much faster but there is one problem. My music files almost all show up as unknown artist. I use my phone as a music player in my car so this is a huge pain in the behind. I have reflashed twice now following all the instructions. I even SBF'd back to stock and wiped everything. The tags are fine on my PC, my old mp3 player and my wife's iphone so I know it's not a problem with the actual files.
Does anyone else have this issue? I did some searching on google and did find one post where someone said that it was a problem with the beta for the DX but I couldn't find any other info on it so if this is a known issue then I'm sorry for failing at the internet.
May I suggest trying a different music player. I use PowerAmp ($4.99 I believe) and have never looked back.
Just because the tags may show properly on those devices doesn't mean that they're error-free. Check the files using a well-known tagger such as mp3tag.

I have no issues on stock CM7 player. My wife uses an iPod for her music playing and I use my phone, so I am (whipped) 'forced' to use iTunes to sort and tag our music files. As mp4's the tags run perfectly. (Tagged with iTunes).
What software are you using to tag your files?
