Hey all, I've noticed a strange problem on my O1. For some reason, some songs won't show up in my PowerAmp library. When I refresh it using Meridian, Meridian just exits - no force close error, just goes back to the desktop. I renamed the files with very short names, yet they don't show up. I'm running Void echo.
Oh, and if it helps, the particular album that isn't showing up is Close To The Edge - Yes.
When I first added a couple artists to my phone, the music squares started an update checking my few files to associate to each cube. I hit cancel during the update, because I planned on adding (a whole lot more music).
Well, now I have all of my music on my phone and none of the squares work. They all say no files associated. I can hit the menu key and choose refresh library, but that doesn't update the music squares. Anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: I even cleared the cache and it did another update still no files found..
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.

My AT&T HTC One M7 Is really REALLY bumming me out. I use BitTorrent to download music to my phone and it all works fine, everything shows up in my default music player like it has been and should be...untill about a month ago. Some artists just started disappearing. Now everything disappears. I've tried going into the Google music player to see if it was just the default but no luck there. even tried downloading music players off the app store and not a single one says I have music. I've tried factory resetting but with unfortunate luck. The amount of frustration I have been feeling. Does anyone know how to fix this? By the way, my phone is not rooted
I've searched and can't find anything, but I need to find a way to stop the stock music player from playing when my phone connects to my car's BT. I use Google play music and want that one to auto start, but every freaking time I start my car, the Samsung player starts that dumb preloaded song.
Honestly, I don't care if I can't get play music to autostart, I just want the Samsung one to stop. And yes, I've tried disabling the app, but it can't be, at least non-rooted. So, any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Is Google Play Music set as the default music player? I haven't rooted my phone or anything, it's completely stock and just by setting Google Play Music to the default on Day 1 of getting this phone (April 8th) it always auto starts when I connect via Bluetooth.

I never got the option to set it as default and I didn't see anything about it in application manager. Any idea where to find it?
OK, figured it out in a round about way. I had to open a .mp3 in Samsung's file explorer and then it asked me for the default. So let's see if it works.
@Hendrycks
Thanks! It worked.
That didnt work for me. Upon linking to BT in my car, the stock Samsung player still auto starts. I have tried setting play music as default, I have set Player Pro as default. it still auto launches the stock crappy Samsung player app. Ideally I dont want it to auto launch any app. I use Pandora alot in my car and since it auto launches the samsung app, that means my car stereo does not display the track info for the playing song in Pandora on the screen.
Sooo annoyed
I have the same exact issue and it is driving me crazy. I have tried everything in the phone and settings and there is nothing. I have downloaded both Connect and Play, and Smart Connect as bluetooth connectors but the stupid factory music beats it to the punch every time. Nothing works! I am about to chuck my phone. Someone please help!
me too
Does anyone have another suggestion? This happens to me if I even "pause" my podcast player too long. Truely annoying.
I am going to try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
So far, with the UI, it does look like it has the right settings/options.
Sorry to bump this but came across this while trying to sort this very same issue. I'v found an app called Package Disabler Pro in the Play Store . The best thing is that it works without root.. It isn't free but I thinks if you been looking for something thats solves this issue its worth it. It worked for me so hope it works for you. And if you try it quick enough you can get a refund if it don't work
Download Trigger, I have mine set so when it connects to bluetooth it launches Google music but you can choose anything you want or nothing at all!

I have the same problem. I installed Trigger, but it didn't work. What task did you add?
The best I came up with was denying access to storage in the application's settings. Now it just prompts me to give it permission when I connect to bluetooth. At least that horrid song doesn't play anymore.
Have you tried Tasker ? Had same problem myself on S6 Edge, but after a little fiddling with Tasker. The default "music" closes, tunein radio is launched & my volume levels are adjusted. I can revert back to "music" by pressing play/pause on hands free.
