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'm not really sure where I should put this thread so just give me hint)
I am very new to the xda site, ive taken use of many of the different applications the forum has in store, especially the app called Nitrogen MP3 player.
I use that because the standard music player on my HTC HD2 is bugged ever since I installed the GTX Theme, the problem is that the phone crashed or the music stops playing middle of a song.
Anyway... back to the main thing.
The issue I want help with is that the Nitrogen player stops music every time I lock my phone.
I was wondering if there was any way to change anything in the program so the music will keep playing even when the phone is in lock " the screen is turned off locked"

I had the same issue. That's why I stopped using Nitrogen. My HTC Music player works well. But I have had to do 2 hard resets because of a program called DoubleTwist, which screwed my HD2 up and made the HTC Music player not function properly.
I also had the same problem a few months back.., Just did a hard reset and things were back to normal
I can consistently make the stock Music app crash. I just go and select a song or album from the library (usually by Artist), which will cause it to start playing music. Then I go and select another song and it will crash with the message the music player "has stopped unexpectedly" etc. etc. "Force Close". If it doesn't crash immediately, I just try playing another song. Switching songs twice does it every time.
I have almost 7.5GB of music, which I guess is a lot, but shouldn't cause crashes. I sync using Winamp on my desktop, though I think I also had the issue synching with other applications. Other apps work mostly fine. Winamp rarely crashes. MixZing and DoubleTwist have never crashed.
I thought it was the phone, so I took it back to the Sprint store. The Sprint guy remarked how hot my phone was (didn't seem out of the ordinary to me) and gave me a brand new phone. My music is on my 16GB SD card, so I tried it out 5 minutes after swapping to the new phone and it still crashes (though about all my other, unrelated phone problems have been fixed).
I've uploaded a video of this current phone crashing to YouTube, but I don't have enough posts to link to an outside URL.
Anyone else having this issue? Not like I need to use the stock player, but I'm just curious if this is only me.
I'm also having that problem. Thought it was just me, but I guess not. I have no idea how to fix it.

Not just you guys. I've been able to re-create that same crash, and have since I got the phone. It's not my music collection, as the exact same collection on the exact same SD card plays perfectly on the stock HTC Playler on my Evo 4G. It's the newer HTC Music app, it's buggy. I've posted about this in the 'current bugs' thread, and also over at Android Forums. Some other people also get the problem. Hopefully HTC will address it. I think a lot of other users don't notice this is because they use a 3rd party music player, such as google music beta, or poweramp or something like that. I like the stock player though, because of the lockscreen music widget
Thank god. Thought I was taking crazy pills.
Are you guys getting this while headphones plugged in? I had this issue intermittently, grabbed an app on the market called headset blocker widget, haven't had the issue since. I have not had the issue on speaker. ymmv

Nope, I've had this issue without headphones. Headphones will only cause the player to skip and pause, and I got Headset Blocker for that.
Haven't really use it so no idea or much info but there is a nice app in the market is call power AMP and is great player, you can download a free version or buy the full one for 5$ really good and great developer to, btw it has EQ options integrated and it works great
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
My HTC Music Player is also buggy. Although, instead of force closing it just shuts down and I have to reboot. I am on my second 3VO handset, but I had the exact same probem with my first one.
I just started using RealPlayer Beta, works well...
I've been having all sorts of issues with the stock app as well, crashing and music skipping. Glad I read this thread though. Appreciate being pointed to the fix to my songs skipping. thanks.
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.
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.
Hey all,
Since I got the OTA for KK 4.4.2 on my moto x, my lockscreen music widget is acting a little bit weird. When I'm listening to music with google play music (and even from some other players like poweramp, rocket player, etc) and the screen goes off, if the track ends and another one begins before I wake the phone up, when I do, it shows the current's music art, but the title from the previous track.
With some players I get a bit of variation, some I get the previous album art, some I get both, name and art....
I can only get it working properly when I'm using NexMusic or Shuttle, with both of them, everything works like a charm, but I really wanted to use GPM.
I have recently factory reseted my phone, it didn't work. Tried to clear GPM's cache and data, nothing, tried to uninstall the update and stick to the original one that came with the phone and still nothing... So I was wondering if any of you can help me a little bit here.
I took a screenshot to try to explain it. It started playing Resistance by Muse, the screen went off and then Sunday Morning started playing, the album art is from sunday morning but the track name is still Resistance.
