I'm not sure the exact cause, I know the Play Music app stores the music files in a cache file on the SD card, do you have an app running that clears up the cache files? I prefer to have my music stored locally as I don't have a fast data connection to stream it constantly. Also saves on battery.

Next time this happens, try resetting the Media Storage in the All Apps section of the Settings. This will force the device to rescan your sd cards to re-catalog your media... Yours was a bit slow to do this fuction I guess... ^_^
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.
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.

Looked around the thread for my issue and seen some things that come close, but not exact.....I cannot play music on my google play music app. I get the "cannot play track requested" error message when I try to play music. All the same songs worked fine before I loaded this ROM, and I love the Rom but this issue may end that love quickly. Im a runner, and require music. I have tried turning off various modules that would affect music or media, or storage in order to try and zero in why precisely google could play one album and not the other. (Currently only one "As I Lay Dying" album will play and no other music will play). I have tried everything from simply rebooting, to uninstalling/reinstalling the app, clearing the cache, clearing the data, etc....I have all my music stored on my ext SD card, and it plays fine through the stock rom(I have safestrap for galaxy s4 me7). but as soon as i switch to my ROM Slot 1(GPE) I can't get the music to play. I have tried moving one song from the ext SD card to the internal storage, and I get the same result. I doubt its due to the file type of the songs(wma, mp3) as both types play on google play music on my stock rom slot. I'm at a loss currently, and dont want to have to keep rebooting to switch to the stock rom slot just to listen to music. have I missed this issue earlier in the thread? I looked for a while, but there are 2 hundred and some odd pages, and search results came up with stuff that were about music, but were of a different nature. Have I missed something obvious that a newbie would miss? obviously by my profile, im a user and not a dev. but I would appreciate any help from anyone who may have run into this issue or could help resolve this problem, love the rom, best one by far, would be a shame to dump it for the music problem. Thanks again, Semper F***** Fi
Have you tried using a different music player to see if it's just that particular player? I'm not one to push people to buy apps, but if you're a music lover and you're not using Power Amp you're really missing out... might be worth a shot to try that to see if it'll play your music.
Hi, since 4.3 I have a problem with the album cover at the stock music-app (google play music too). With Poweramp I don't have the problem, but I don't want to buy this app. I usually sync my music with doubleTwist or easyphonesync. Can anyone help me?
Sorry for my english.

Seems completely random. You can use a free music player. Its possible the music you have did not come with a image/cover. Clear music player's data in app manager and also try deleting the music from your device and transfering it again.
Likewise clear data wipe the album cache etc .
Odd that its missing on Google Music something turned off ??

I usually add the covers in iTunes and after that I transfer that to my phone with some little programms (easyphonetunes/easyphonesync/doubletwist). Till 4.3 I never had problems but now some images are not shown. I already wiped and flashed the firmware again and again. I also changed the PC. I copy my music to the external card
I should have mentioned that I use the Galaxy S3 LTE with 4.3. Maybe someone can confirm this.
