In the Google Music app my songs are showing up 3 times, same when I try to set an alarm with a song. Only the last of the 3 of any song will play. I'm unsure what I need to clear to fix this. I wiped my cache's in CWM and rebooted but it didn't change anything. They were coming up the same in PlayerPro but I did a refresh tracks in app and it fixed it. App that are giving me problems are Google Music, N7 & the stock Samsung player. So I'm assuming it's not an app issue as it does it on different ones. Any ideas what I should do here? I'm running the latest Perfection ICS rom.
Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the same problem on my skyrocket after upgrading to ics.
yeah, go into settings applications find the app media storage clear the data and reboot. I'm not sure exactly how to trigger the scanner to re-scan it back into your library. But I went into Astro file manager and clicked on a song and it started the process.

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,...

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.
Hi Guys,
since yesterday my Xperia S (FW .73) is no longer listing any music (stored at /mnt/sdcard/Music...)
I tried several things to fix this:
- reboot several times
- rename music foder
- copy music from /Album sub folder into /Music folder
- rescan via "rescan media" app
- testing with third party music player apps like standard android music player or Meridian
...but without success!
Music player still says that there is no music available on my device.
But I do have about 9 GB!
The only may important thing I did yesterday was to change the micro SIM card.
Bit this works without any trouble.
So do you guys have any idea?
Should i reinstall generic .73 FW?
If you go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All find the Media Storage App, clear Data, restart the phone and leave it ~5 minutes it should force it to rescan everything.
Hey sixdaysandy, thanks for you advice.
Unfortunately it has no impact!
I've done it several times and cleared almost every Music Media data I found. But after I made a reboot my device still thinks I do not have any music...
Therefore i am flashing the LT26i_6.0.A.3.73_SG_Generic.ftf FW without Wiping User Data right now!
And i really hope that this will fix the bug!
Edit:
Finally i was able to reproduce this strange behaviour.
I deleted every music and put it right back into the music folder. And there it was!
But it seems that every time i reboot - the device isn't any longer listing my music and it's gone again...
so there must be something wrong with the music library or the music player itself. Or maybe another app is going to kill the library?!
never happened before but i flashed a new rom and of course the playlists that i had before were still there (no data wipe needed). i added some songs to the end of my gym playlist and alls fine. every day i need to re-add all the songs though. if i check around mid day, then some of the songs are disappearing and by the eve - the play list is back as it was when i flashed the rom. the songs themselves are still on my SD card though
i cannot figure this out and it's really REALLY annoying me. anyone have a clue what could be wrong with this?
note 2 international, wanam lite 2.7 rom 412
anyone? it's still doing this. last time i added the songs i backed up poweramp with TB. now i checked and songs are missing again so i restored teh app and data - songs are back.
what's removing the songs? any guesses?
Same issue here...heading over to the PowerAmp forums now...
What's up XDA,
I'm running the AoCP ROM on my Note and it's been having some trouble with playing music. I had all my music on a 32g sd card that came from my old phone. I never had the phone with the stock rom so I have no idea if this is just ROM related. The stock music app kinda sucked at playing the music, it kept crashing. Uninstalled that, downloaded google music, and it didn't crash as much but I would skip to the next song and it just wouldn't play. Uninstalled google music, downloaded winamp, and got the same results as with google music. So I removed the SD card to format it and put the music on again. I think that maybe the two phones store and find the music differently. But I formatted the SD and then even removed it. But, when I went to go look google music, all the songs we're "still there." They weren't really there, it wouldn't play any of them... The phone somehow stored all the album artwork, artists, song names, all that stuff. And yes I tried clearing the app data and cache and even uninstalled and reinstalled. All the music apps still show that the songs, or at least what's left of them, still exist on the device. I've searched through a ton of folders to try and find where that data might have been stored so I could delete but my searches have been unsuccessful. I have everything backed up on my computer, but I'm sure if I clear the phone data and then just restore from what's on the computer, the problem will still be hidden somewhere in the files on my computer. Any help with this guys?? or has anyone else had a similar problem?? I've tried lurking through the AoCP rom thread but haven't found anything like this... Doesn't help that the search is down right now.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
You have to wipe media stotage under all apps.

My Note 2 is a completely stock version, no unlocking/rooting. Just got Kitkat update a few days ago.
I'm not sure if this is an issue caused by the update, I didn't use the music player in the day before
or after the update.
While in the stock music player, I will select a song to play and it starts playing normally.
When I hit the back key to go back to the list of music, the music freezes/skips for
a second, then resumes normally. Pushing back again or selecting a playlist to look at
also causes the pause. If I exit the player and allow the music to run in the background
it plays normally. But any time I open the app again, it pauses at every touch of the screen
and buttons.
I've done a few battery pulls, cleared all cache and data from the app, cleared the
cache partition, and Googled it to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated!

Did you try another music app to see if it's just that app?
Same thing was happening to my phone. It's the voice feature that causes to freeze if you disable it, it will stop that lag. To disable it go to settings>voice control>then uncheck the music option and that should fix the problem.
