My stock music player keeps pausing after a few seconds of play, and occasionally it will skip to the next track. I am not sure how to fix this and it is very annoying. I have had this issue both rooted and stock. Looking on the web it appears that others are having this issue as well, and that turning off the flip motion does not help, as well as using other players. Has anyone found a fix for this?
EDIT: I have a feeling this is a sensitivity issue with the screen. I notice if I pause, it automatically starts playing sometimes. Perhaps the heat of my touch is being retained on the screen and the app has too sensitive of a setting to tap the play button?
I haven't used the stock music player because of the lack of features available. Try player pro from the play store. It is one of the best music apps I have found, even better then winamp in my opionion.

It will act up if you have it USB-connected to your computer and access the files on your storage card using your computer's explorer.
I'm not connected to anything. Does it while charging, not charging, bluetooth, headphones, phone speakers, stock app, other apps, ect.
Has anyone else experienced the following?
Play music in the Google Play Music app on your KitKat device, switch apps or lock screen and playback stops. Wake device or open app switcher, playback continues.
Some Googling shows similar behaviour six months ago with no working solutions.
This is incredibly annoying as it prevents me listening to any music!
Stats:
Samsung GT-i9300
Android 4.4.2
Google Play Music 5.4.1413N.1048534
Please help before I go and buy a flipping iPod!!
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.

freezing music

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.
Hi !
I joust bought my redmi note 2, i'm happy with it, however i have this weird problem.
I downloaded an app to hear audiobooks (material audiobook player), when closing the app and starting it again the position is remembered, however when you tap play the audiobook starts from the begging.
It seems that the miui music control is somehow restarting the book from the begining.
I tried with other many apps for audiobooks such as smart audiobook player or mort player audiobooks with the same exact problem.
It works with other apps such as poweramp, i suspect because of its capability to handle directly music files (open with).
Even when removing the music bar by renaming the miui statusbar_music.saml the problem remains.
I don't know how to trace the problem since im new to the miui ecosystem, and to android rom development in general.
