I use the stock music app on my LGOG. Every time I reboot it adds a new copy of every song in my playlists. I usually reboot daily, so I often have, for example, 10 copies of Imagine Dragons' Radioactive in my Workout playlist. Anyone else have this problem? And any suggestions on the best music apps that have dropdown menu control interfaces?

That's pretty odd, i reboot frequently as well but never have that happen.... But good alternatives would be poweramp and the standard play music app, though poweramp can be frustrating because it doesn't do a very good job of keeping your music organized, is a great app if you like to play with the equalizer though. Both have pretty good dropdown controls.

Mine keeps force closing on me whenever I try to view my music by album. It will show the wrong album names next to the album covers, and then it shows the wrong songs in that album, followed by a force close. Works fine if you view by all songs. Just wondering if anyone else is having any issues, or if it could possibly be my SD card.
I haven't had this problem yet. Did you try clearing the data? Settings - Applications - Manage Applications, then click the All tab, go to music and hit Clear Data

I need to make a slight correction. It force closes when I view by artist and then choose an album. I'll try clearing the data now. Thanks for the suggestion.

I get the exact same force close. I have done a factory reset, and a few various other things. I have just determined that the music app is buggy at this time, and I've been using the Google music beta in the meantime.

Could be your files are corrupted or glitchy,, try different albums

i actually have had issues with reboots while playing music. very weird, but using power amp has fixed it.
This happens to me with the HTC player, Double Twist and Winamp. It basically skips songs, randomly stops the music, when I shut the screen off it would stop the htc player and winamp would play. There's so many weird things happening, and they all affect the music.

Google Music is AWESOMENESS!!!
I had this problem. I downloaded mp3tag on my PC. Click on file>add directory and add your music folder. After your music loads, scroll right to the "codec" heading,and click on the heading to sort by codec. I am not sure what codecs htc's player supports, but I deleted anything that wasn't "MPEG 1 Layer III" (mp3 is actually an abbreviation for this codec). This solved all of the problems you mentioned for me.

Hi guys, long time listener, first time poster.
I thought I would share my experience with the music app. I'm also having issues, but it only seems to be buggy when my aux cable is plugged from the headphone jack to the car. The music will skip as if I'm fast forwarding through the track and will eventually start skipping whole songs. I've also noticed when the phone goes into the lock screen, the music widget that appears has both the "play" and "forward" buttons highlighted as if I'm pressing them. Clearly I'm not pressing them. It also bugs out with Google Music Beta, though the app doesn't have a lock screen widget, yet. I have yet to try other music apps beside the two I mentioned. I will report back with any findings.
Thanks for having me.
After a couple days of searching and reading, looks like it's a bug with the headphone jack. The phone is reading headphones/aux cable as a control device. The Nexus One, Incredible and a few other phones had this issue when they launched. mrjkwik has posted a link to a fix in another thread, but here it is again.

Works for me so far, until HTC can roll out another update. Hopefully they do soon. The link to the market is for a widget, so place it on one of your home screens and make sure it's on before listening to music.
So what is your favorite app for music playing? and why? key word APP so no flashing or anything hard. Just like from the market. and I know this has been asked a few times but I would like to know what you use. Like what you like about it. Simplicity? Features? etc. thanks in advance.
ALSO, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. It is regarding apps but I wasn't sure if it should go in Q&A cause those questions seemed a lot more general.
TTPOD. and UberMusic. Poweramp is cool sometimes.

Google music 4.0

UberMusic for local, Google Music for streaming.
viva la MIUI
Poweramp is the best..
eq makes a huge difference.
PlayerPro - tried some apps, but PlayerPro has all I was looking for: A nice interface, lockscreen controls, can play videos and runs very stable.
Player pro is the best! Ubermusic is nice too but very simple interface for me..
I use poweramp.
Ubermusic
I love the UI although some said it's a mock-up of wp's music player.
Google Music 4.0.1 currently. Although I search for another one.
Playerpro with the free DSP Pack
Zplayer is good

Just tried this and it is pretty awesome.
Nice and loud.
I can honestly say after trying various headsets, IEMs with all the music apps available, the best match of music player, phone and headsets are all different. Since poweramp, Zplayer etc all make a slight difference to the sound quality, you should try all to find which is the music player with your favourite signature sound.
If you like to EQ, try equalizer or Volume + in the mixture as well
Lookwise, I personally like Zplayer.
ease of use, probably playerpro for most but poweramp for me cuz I really like the way it divides the folders.
Google music + beta, that's where I store my music. I mean after all placing 6000 mp3's on my sd card would just be crazy.

Music app
I use gtunes...its cool,its free,music is free...the downside is that not all mucic you search for using gtunes will be available.but for free music is great. There is a new version of it on the market called music downloader if my memory serves me right.the correct gtunes app is difficult to find now days.
My favorite is definitely Google Music 4.0
The new UI is leaps and bounds better than 3, despite not changing a whole lot... it just feels cleaner. And the addition of being able to stream and cache makes it the most feature filled imo. If you're an EQ guy (I typically want flat, because hey thats the way the producers intend for it to be heard) their is an inapp option that takes you to your EQ of choice from the market, and it feels very fluid, almost as if it were part of the app itself. Google has come a long way in the music department in the year I've had my phone.
I'm using Fede's Music App (wp7'ish)
PlayerPro looks like really cool!

Hi,
I like to use the Music app from the RAZR because of its good builtin equalizer.
But, it's shuffles the audio files in a folder on default.
Already cleared the cache of the app as of the phone, but this didn't help.
Is there a solution?
Huh?
For me it defaults to being ordered so I have to enable shuffle every time I want music + press next as it always start on the same song.
I'm having this problem as well but like nearly all problems on the Razr it is frustratingly intermittent
Sometimes it plays through the songs in order just fine and other times it will inexplicably play them in some random order??
You are on Android, get better music app from market

I'm having a shuffle issue as well, and it makes me sad because I liked the stock music player. The "Shuffle All" button doesn't work from the menu button. It just plays the songs in alphabetical order... Also, shuffling with the other method doesn't work either really. To shuffles every song from # to M, and maybe the occasional song that starts with an S. I use PlayerPro now.
Use power AMP

Hi all,
I have an extensive music library - and I'm currently using both Play Music and the default Music app to play the songs.
However it appears that no matter what settings I choose, whether I skip songs or not, both apps with only choose certain songs to play out of the 500 or so I have stored on my SD card.
Do you have recommendations on a good music player (prefer only music as don't watch videos) that doesn't just have a set list of tracks but actually shuffles when it says it is.
Thanks,
Linz.
Poweramp is pretty good but you would have to pay for it
yup, PowerAMP rocks!
there are music players like PowerAmp, N7player, PlayerPro, etc... all have trial versions, maybe you should try these and decide by yourself.

im more of a clean design guy with a serious music library ocd,
always used shuttle+ since it keeps my library sorted with artist and album pictures, its latest beta gives it a more material design feel, and has never let me down.
On the 'free' front, I have used Vanilla Player and would recommend it. It's very capable of handling large number of files, and playlists.

On the 'paid' front, PowerAmp seems very popular. Personally, I have used 'Gone Mad Music Player' and found it very capable too of handling large number of files & playlists.

Both of these players support ReplayGain, which was an important feature for me.

auto stop current music when choosing other music app & how start app in background
Question/problem1:
When i listen to MP3 using the music apk and i switch to radio the MP3 is stopped/paused and radio is started.
When i listen radio and switch back to music then radio is muted/stopped and MP3 starts to play, PERFECT, this is what i want
But....
When i use an other music app (for example vlc, internet streaming radio or ds-audio etc etc etc) and i start this, the currenct radio/music etc keeps playing on and i hear 2 music sources at the same time...
So i have to stop/end the current music before choosing an other music source.
How can i solve this so whenever i choose an other music source the currect music source is always muted first?!
A second question:
How can i start an app on boot which runs immiditaly in the background?
I use a app called 'flitsmeister' which is an app which warns me on spoeed traps, traffic controls, slow traffic etc
This app currently starts on boot, but i always have to push home button to force this app to the background, it pops-up when there is something to report, so there is no need to run it on the foreground.
So the question is: how to i start an app on boot and let it run immidiatly on the background so i get my dashboard on boot and not this app?
Sorry I don't have an answer to this but I am 100% with you on the functionality and have been looking into it for the last couple of days. I think it might have something to do with the built in apps using one audio stream and the 3rd party apps using another. I have to say I thought I was going mad that I couldn't seem to find any other posts relating to this anywhere else on the forum. As the source code for both the inbuilt apps like Radio and the external apps like Spotify is not available I would think the only solution would be an additional app to run in the background and monitor either the audio streams or the apps themselves being executed.
Maybe someone with some more experience can answer or even better point us in the direction of an app that will perform such a task.

Maybe you would find my app helpful. Search the forum for modeswitch. A new improved version is coming in a while. It works well with Spotify and allows the SWC to control Spotify. Now it adds voice call capabilities, but as now this is possible with dsa`s workaround, it will be removed in the new version to spped things up. Besides Spotify its possible to add until 2 custom apps. The app tries to respect the audio focus, so that only one app play audio

To use your app you must cycle through them all though right? So you must cycle through radio, video and media player?

The video player is not circled. The DVD and music player have option to opt-out from the circle. As well as Spotify and 2 custom apps..
In next versions maybe I will add the option to respect audio focus without. Using the circle, but maybe this will slow things down...
Great thanks.
Dave
I don't know if this helps but I have noticed through testing. The built in apps play sound while they have focus, either through the app or the widget. For example, if you open the radio app and click the home button it will continue to play. However if you click the radio app and click back it will stop playing. Obviously the 3rd party apps do not work like this and continue to play in the background regardless of how you exit them.
