just noticed that if I have a music app playing, whether it be spotify, poweramp or any of my player widgets, when I open the camera app it stops all play back.
Anyway around this?
Music stops if you just OPEN the camera app? Normally it should only stop if you use the camera to take a video.

that's what i figured but no, for me it stops as soon as I open the camera
ok so I've finally received an update from Optus here in Australia and assumed this issue would be fixed, but no, it's still happening....... as soon as I open the camera app any music player stops playing. Spotify, Google Music etc, happens to them all
Has anyone else seen this? Or have an idea on what might be causing it???
wow ok, this was because Audio Control was on in the camera app.

Ok, so you know how in iOS, your listening to music, and then you head on over to youtube, click a video, your music fades out and your video starts? How come on android it just continues with music and youtube at same time? Is there a setting im missing? Its irritating, because i have to go back and click pause
Thanks!

Actually, I just tried two tests:
Play music with Sony Ericsson 'Mediascape' app.
While the music is playing, press the Home button.
Launch the 'YouTube' app.
Verify music continues to play while the 'YouTube' app is in its menu screens.
Select a video to play.
Verify music stops playing.
...and...
Play music with the Google 'Music' app.
While the music is playing, press the Home button.
Launch the 'YouTube' app.
Verify music continues to play while the 'YouTube' app is in its menu screens.
Select a video to play.
Verify music stops playing.
In both these situations, 'Mediascape' and 'Music' both automatically close as soon as a video begins playing on the 'YouTube' app.
I'm not sure why that doesn't happen with your phone, though.
I'm running on Sony Ericsson generic world Android 2.1.

oh oops i forgot to say that im running the free x10 beta4 rom 2.2.1
I'm on J's CM7 Gingerbread 20c ROM and have the issue. Going through both threads (since I used to be on beta 4) I haven't found much. It becomes a habit with time though. I did however find using the pause on the lockscreen less of a bother than having to go into the app itself.
I was just wondering, whenever I'm listening to music and I want to take a picture, the music app force closes as soon as I start the camera up. This was the same on my xperia arc and I just assumed that there was not enough RAM for them both to run. However using powerAMP and the camera app together works fine, and I assume that uses more RAM than the stock music app
I don't see any reason why the two can't run together on the XS apart from heavy RAM management. Is there a way to stop the music player from FCing?
cheers
I just did a test and the camera needs a little longer than usual to start up, the music stops, but the music app doesn't close, I can resume where it stopped.
Has anyone else run in to random audio skipping? Sometimes I open up Google Music, or another music player, and inexplicably get skips in every song I play.
It seems the only player immune to this is the stock player.

Have you tried poweramp/player pro while setting priority to high or something of the sort?

i have had this problem as well....it went away on JB...but jellybean has had other quirks....less annoying but....i did not have it on stock ICS...stock had messaging issues....audio skipping had to go so i have settled on JB.....the quirks for JB have been video and call related...video stutters(minor) and calls not connecting(it took a month to manifest)
I've been having issues with downcast, winamp, and the stock samsung music player with random pausing of playback. Downcast informed me it was doing this because another app was requesting audio focus. This happened on the stock rom and on the current debloated rom I'm running.
Anyone have any ideas?

After researching a bit it looks like this is a fault of Winamp, it asks for audio focus causing other apps to pause even when you're not using winamp to play anything. Just thought i'd post in case someone else has the same issue.
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.

I'd like an answer to this also w/o having to wait for tasker to load.

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.
