Hi, thanks in advance for the help.
I recently copied a lot of music from my computer to my phone, and I use Poweramp to play it. Everything is fine except for an annoying problem which I will try to describe as best as I can:
Each song has a length obviously, however, when in Poweramp, this length is increased for every song, producing a sort of very long gap at the end of every song. For example, if my song is 3:20 of music, Poweramp will add 15 more secs of useless space at the end of it, making it 3:35. Should I click the progress bar right at the end of the song, it will do nothing but immediately change to the next track (for example, if I want to play the last 5 seconds, nothing will play but it will only play the next track).
Summary: Poweramp adds useless, not even playable space at the end of every track.
I have tried doing a full rescan, a rescan, changing track names, clearing data, clearing cache.. nothing.
Can you please help me?

I've had this problem before and I still have it now. It seems like poweramp doesn't like manually encoded mp3's. So did you encode some? Like used a youtube to mp3 converter etc? If you did then the problem will arise. If you are patient enough you can encode the mp3 files again using audacity and export them as a 320kbps ones or you could just buy the original music through itunes or somewhere that legally sells downloadable mp3's

damn, I actually bought the cds, then ripped to lossless and then converted using Audials prior to adding them to iTunes and then gave the cds away!
It makes me no more happy to know that you still have the problem. :/
What you recommend would take a long time indeed. I am certainly never using Audials again.

I don't know about Audials but yeah somehow Poweramp doesn't really like programs converting the mp3 files. And about Audacity I just accidentally found out about it and it works wonders after it exports the mp3 files and weirdly poweramp doesn't add those additional 15secs of playtime.

BUT you tend to lose even more quality when converting from lossy to lossy AFAIK... It would work as a temporary solution though. Thanks for the tip!
I had contacted their customer service and they knew NOTHING, they even asked me to send them a sample song just to tell me to do the Full Rescan. I would ask for a refund, but the app is so good at everything else!
Did you contact them?

i'm no music expert but yeah it would lose quality but the difference is unnoticeable imo. The app is really quite good and really stands out of all the music apps on the playstore. And nope i haven't contacted them about this issue as I've downloaded most of my music on itunes so no additional encodes were required.
If you don't add any more compression and change encoding - you wont lose quality. Its not the process that loses quality, its your settings

Nope the update didn't fix it.
I was checking and analyzing everything today and it does have to do with the encoding. I had mp3s that were shown on iTunes as 'MPEG Audio' and some others as 'MPEG Audio File'. The first ones had the problem when added to Poweramp, the other ones didn't.

And to me it seems like MaxMP (creator of the app) is ignoring the problem. Oh well... the app is superb however when it comes to problems like this the support is quite disappointing.

I get the WMA error but it still plays. So I don't know what to say.
Hmmmm. Mine doesn't. Well that will stink if their is no player that will do it.
try mortplayer, I know it plays almost all kind of file types including wma on my phone. Haven't tried it on NC yet though, but definitely give it a shot.
Just tried MortPlayer. No dice. Thats 3 for 3 that won't play WMA.... Hmmm
Have you tried poweramp? There's a trial version for free. I don't really use my NC for music, but it works great for wma's on my Droid X.
Also has a nice equalizer...great player

Hope this helped
playerpro is probably the best music player i have ran into.
If you want to waste $5.08 on a music play then go ahead and buy PlayerPro. But if you want the same thing, that works just as well if not better, then get WinAmp.
Dont be a sucker and pay $5 for a stupid music player.

No flac support, no eq, no folders, no tag editing....
DoubleTwist is great and has airsync(wifi). The lock screen takes over the whole screen and shows a large cover with good sized rev/play/fwd buttons at the bottom
Does PowerAmp play flac on the Atrix? I haven't been able to play any flac.
Winamp is terrible, for reasons already stated. I've never used Songbird so i cannot say anything about it. DoubleTwist was my primary a long time ago, but for some reason it could not read music files on the external sd so it had to go. It may have been because I had purchased it right when the phone came out so external sd support might not have been working yet. I do not know if they have updated it to work with it or not yet so you may want to ask someone around here if you plan on purchasing it.

Yes, PowerAmp does play FLACs on the Atrix. You can check it out for 14 days. I'm getting close to the end of my trial, and I have yet to find a decent alternative that supports FLAC. May end up shelling out some dough.
On topic, PowerAmp also has a lock screen widget.
I love how people are sooooo damn demanding when it comes to what music play to get. ITS A MUSIC PLAYER!!! not a new phone!

That might be closer to what you're looking for. I use it, works great.
What features would you like to see added/removed, and are you happy with it compared to the stock music app, or how do you feel it stacks up against another music app.
*This is a general topic, and I'm just curious to see the community's response.*
I don't use it. It doesn't have features I need.
Namely, ability to keep the screen from sleeping, and the ability to limit where it looks for music at.
i like gmusic. I dont use it daily (I use slacker daily) but gmusic works great when I do need it. Its far more reliable than when it first came out, so they're definitely making progress.
My only complaint is when I flash a new rom, it registers my phone as a new device so it adds it to gmusic (which is great) but google limits it to 8 devices. So occasionally I need to go into gmusic website and delete my old devices, which is all the same phone. Its not really a complaint for google but i wish there was a way for it to detect that its the same device/IMEI
I personally love google music I use it daily. I have a computer for school and don't want to cramp it up with music so I can stream everything. Also I use my phone in my truck for music and it is nice to have access to all my music when I need it.
Absolutely love it. I have my entire collection stored. My main problem lies when I'm doing file management and the media scanner starts while I'm playing music. Google Music stops streaming completely and I have to manually restart it. I turned caching off, so that the song being played is solely dependent on the connection, but it still does it. I suppose it stops to look for new songs that might have been added. I'd like it to at least resume playback when scanning stops.
The other thing is with optimization I guess. In my last billing cycle, I got throttled and streaming was impossible (as expected). However, Pandora was still able to stream entire songs, for long sessions without stutter (it just took longer between songs). I'm curious if it'd be possible for them to improve performance on slow networks, so that it's on par with Pandora.

General is something related directly to the phone or an app that comes stock with the phone. GoogleMusic does not fit that description since it has to be installed by the user and not everyone uses it. This should have been in Themes and Apps. Just sayin'.
I wish it would sync with a folder on my phone with all my music, so that when it tries to play a song, it checks that folder on my phone first before downloading the song with a weird name in another random folder. That way, whenever I add a song on my computer to the Google Music Folder, it adds to my phone as well when I try to play it, keeping my music in sync.

That'd be boss. Maybe in a future update?
I love google music.
Especially after switching from iTunes and my iPhone 4. I really hated iTunes haha
i like it on my zoom and Google TV. But I wish it would sync playlist too. A good playlist takes time and it wouldn't be nice to listen to them on phone, tablet and TV. The main thing that make be go back to the Samsung music player is that while connected to my Bluetooth stereo it shows track info on the stereo but the Google music doesn't. Not a big thing, but enough to keep me using the samsung player. If those two were fixed it would be a perfect player.

Absolutely love Google music. No complaints here, it works great. I'm really happy that Google came out with this app, I show everyone with an Android phone.
im using PowerAmp i think its better than gMusic
Not bad... Steaming better but still slower than other streaming apps.
My biggest complaint is music purchased can only be played in gmusic and can't be downloaded to phone or computer. Frustrating when I paid for something. if they keep prices at $4.99 album $.49 song I might get over it... Doubtful that will last.
Saw app in market that claims to make music portable though.

Just click on the song you purchased and click download. It will let you download it at 320k and no drm. Also the google music manager has an option to auto download any purchased songs to your pc automatically.

I would really like to be able to download my music that was uploaded to google music. I had everything in itunes also, and one day after it was all uploaded itunes moved everything without me knowing it and that file got deleted on accident. Of course i didn't care at the time because nothing should have been there. Thanks itunes.

I bought the GS2 phone 2 waeks ago..and i running CheckRom V6 HD, the problem is with the music player:
You've probably figured, i put songs on my MicroSD and for some unknown reason the player selected one of my photos from the MicroCd and used it as song/band/album picture O_O
what can i do...?
now its using my friends photo, and its look really scary and disturbing

Has anybody else had issues when playing audio files on their phone either through headphones or through the speaker? When I stream the audio it sounds just fine but when I put the physical audio file on my phone is pops and clicks.
My Phone:
At&t SGS3
No Root/Stock IOS
Here is what I have tried so far:
-Placed audio file on internal SD card.
-Placed audio file on external SD card.
-Tried multiple music players.
-Tried different headphones and used the speaker.
-Verified that the audio file does not have pops and clicks when playing on other devices or streaming to my phone via "Play Music"
Thoughts suggestions? Bad phone? Default my phone and start over ;( ?

I have the same issue however mine is limited to PowerAmp music app. In my case, I learned that certain albums have this issue and that when I listen to them in the stock music player and Ubermusic (another music app in the Play Store) I had no popping sound. For my issue, I have a theory that the only music that pops is the music I copy over from my iTunes library. I have music stored in two locations c:/Music and c:/Music/iTunes/iTunes media/iTunes Music, only the albums copied over from iTunes directory have resulted in popping. With my last phone, Droid Incredible, I did not have any popping issues so I know the problem is on Samsung's end. I even emailed the dev for Poweramp and they believe the issue lies with Samsung since other users notice this issue in multiple music apps.
I've been trying to listen to music in my spare time from work to see if there is any pattern to the issue.
Well I've had the issue even in the tune in radio app. Went to sprint and they ordered an exchange for Tuesday. Had to unroot of course.

Did you think it is the way that iTunes converts the music? All of my music is stored in iTunes, I will have to rip an album not in iTunes and see if that fixes it. From the responses, it might sound more like a software bug than a hardware issue.

This i don't understand. I don't hear it either with that app. I'm going to retest audio through Bluetooth. But since we're in the minority I feel it's best to exchange the phone. I want to be able to use whatever player I want no? ringtones are still affected.

I'm not sure what to think of this cracking issue. One one hand, Poweramp is useless (for me) but stock music player and a severely outdated (by about a year) Ubermusic aren't noticeably giving me cracking noise...yet. Any thoughts on how to proceed?

This happened to me using power amp pro. Is it an annoying buzz every now and then? If so that's what I had. I emailed the developer and he gave me some instructions on how to tweak the advanced settings and it fixed it for me. I'm not sure if it will be the same for the other players however it is worth a shot! Also It happened to most my songs but there would be the odd one that wasn't affected. I don't use itunes at all for my music so I can confirm that is not the cause.
Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks => Audio Thread Priority. Change it to +2 or the highest.
(if it still does it on +2 switch it to the highest)
Hope it works for you guys too!
My phone doesn't pop or crack but you can hear the static/hiss/white noise when something is being played. If the music/video is paused the sound goes away. But when the audio starts to play, you can hear the hiss on low volume but will go away on high (probably cause the actual audio is overwhelming the hiss).
Is this a hardware issue as well? It's a bit annoying when you have for example a piano playing, acoustic guitar, or some soft background/vocal going on cause the hiss can be very well heard in those situation but disappears when a lot of elements of music are mixed.
