what music players will play in background? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

on criskelo v 5.1. Stock and Winamp won't play in background
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

All music players will continue to play in the background. If it doesn't do it on your device, there's something wrong with the ROM.

agree

Don't use file manager to select songs, go directly to the music player and select songs from there, if you use the file manager as soon as you try to minimize it the player will quit.

That hit the spot! I had downloaded a podcast. I guess when you select a downloaded item from the notication bar, it uses a file manager and hence won't play in background.

Hey there

how to clear the now playing screen

i was deleting the songs from my diamond but after deleting it, the now playing screen still shows the songs but just has exclaimation marks on the album art square. this is for teh music player on the touchflo 3d. is there any way to clearing the "now playing" list?
Try delete the AlbumManager or what it's called in Application Data\HTC\Something like this.
there was a file in there called audiomanager that i tried to delete but it wouldn't let me.
go to the library using the tocuhflo music tab. go to the all songs tab. play any one song and it should update the now playing list.

Sry, wrong information, rename it to whatever you like and the phone will automatically create a new one.

[Q] music player does not find new music

I have a completely stock HTC One 801S and I have been trying to copy my music into it. I copied MP3's into the 'Music' folder and it shows when I check with Windows explorer, it also shows up when I use File Manager from the Play Store but the Media player in the phone (the one with the little Headset Icon does not see anything new. The preloaded music shows up and plays but not what I added.
If I use the File Manager from the Play Store and select the music, it plays fine. I also installed Android Music but the same problem, anything I copy into the phone does not show up in any music player in the phone. Restart the phone many times but no luck.
Does anybody have solutions or ideas how to solve this?
Thanks,
JB
Quick update: if I send the files over Bluetooth they show up in the Bluetooth folder in the music player and they play OK in the stock music player. This is a work around because I cannot organize them in folders.
Anybody can help me?
thanks,
JB

[Q] Need a music player that stops after one song

Hi all. I'm in need of a music player for my N6 that stops after playing when the song I choose is over. Play Music automatically goes to the next song on the album and I can't have that at work. I can't find a setting to change it. Is it buried somewhere?
I'd prefer free but I'd pay a couple bucks for something that does what I need it to.
Anyone know of a player that will stop at the end of the chosen song?
Use a file manager to find the song you wish to play, I prefer es file
explorer. Tap to select and choose a player, either es built in or google play
This will only play that track.
Playerpro has this feature.
Clear your queue, tap 3 dots to right of song you want, select add to queue, profit!
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I use Astro as my file manager and it will play most .mp3's natively. It's kind of a pain though, as I music scattered around.
I'll check out Playerpro, thanks!
I must be doing it wrong Paul. It still goes right to the next song on the album.

It's a setting you need to enable, I haven't used it for a while but it used to mention something about being handy for musicians and teachers.
Have a dig through the settings menu and you should find it.

Streaming Audio Files in Background (while doing other tasks with the Note 5) ???

When I stream an audio file on my Note 5, it plays in the Google Play Music app that came with the phone. If I click off of the app as it plays the file, the audio stops playing altogether and the app basically closes. I have to restart the stream and then find the point that it stopped to resume. So, I cannot do anything on the phone with the audio playing the background it seems. I believe this happens if I play a video via the stock video player app as well. Is there a way where I can play such files in the background while I surf the 'net or do other tasks on my phone? Is there an app that might accomplish this on Android??? TIA.

How do I do this? When I click on any audio file on the Note 5, it only gives me the option of playing it (streaming it) with the Google Play Music app or downloading it. If I download it, I can still only open it and play it with the Google Play Music app. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Go to Settings > Application manager > More > More > Reset Apps preference > check ok. Now you can choose to play files over gplay music, stock music player ot 3rh party apps

Great! I did that and it does now give me the option of playing via Google Play Music app or the stock music player. However, I still cannot do anything else on the phone without the audio file pausing and/or stopping the playing of the audio file. For example, I just downloaded a podcast file onto my phone, opened it and told it to play it with the stock music player app. It will sit there and play the entire hour-long podcast just fine. But, if I need to go check a text message I received or look at something on the Internet, the stock music player stops playing the audio file (pauses playback of it) until I finish checking the text message or complete the Internet task and go back to the stock music player and click on the "play" button. I would prefer that it keeps playing the audio file when I minimize it to go check text messages or e-mails or do something on the Internet. Or is there maybe a 3rd party app that will do this??? Thanks for your help!

It appears that you use "my files" to play your music..you have been using the pop up music player and thus it will stop when you exit. Try to play music via the music app, search your music in the app itself and not from your downloaded files. Once you are in the stock music app,go to tracks and all your downloaded music will appear

Don't ask me why I didn't think of trying this before, but I didn't. I just opened the stock music player and went to tracks (just ask you described), the podcast files were there. I clicked on the one I was listening to last night and proceeded to check my text messages and e-mail and the audio kept playing in the background. Thanks for mentioning this! Really appreciate it! :good: :good: :good:

Question Change Default Music Player

Hi,
How the hell do you change the default music player on this phone!
Settings→Apps→Default Apps
or try to open a music file(It will ask you which app would you open)

Neither work.
I listen to a podcast, I have MX Player installed, if I open the podcast from the default file manager the podcast will open using the default player which I don't want. No option to choose which player will open this file.
Default Apps is hopeless!
