[Q] xperia z1 walkman problem - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I need some help. When I add a new song as a favourite in the Walkman app it does not add it as a favourite. The favourites star becomes yellow and then goes back to normal. Any ideas????

That sounds weird. Maybe try clearing the data on the walkman app? Your not doing anything funky like streaming the music through the walkman player are you? Have you tried with several songs from different artists/albums?

3 Music Player - Amazing

Just downloaded and tried '3' Music Player and it's very very good... Definately worth checking out...
Search for RockOn in the market and it's the app with a small "3"
Yeah I tried it. its pretty cool just needs alittle bit more tuning.
It stops playing for me when the screen turns off. Anyone else having this issue?
Looks sick, and hella smooth though

Not having that problem myself!
From what I've read theres a lot more to come from the dev on this one...
Yep! ³ has definitely replaced my default music app. I can't wait to see what he adds to it next.
Whoa! Crazy concept that one is.
Would be great if you had the option to have song/album/artist lists instead of JUST an album cube...
Best music app for Android I've seen.
One annoying feature, if you enable the headphone controls, it starts the player whenever you push the button (i.e. skipping a song in Pandora launches RockOn3 and they play simultaneously). Would be great if there was a playlist by folder creation function as well.
i got a problem with dis player it get freezed i dono y.... pls help me....
I just tried this out and it certainly contains the eye candy I love while still mainting usability. If I go past the Z however, it spins the opposite direction without stopping. I have to go to view mode then back to the three to stop it.
I love the automatic album art downloader too. Does it save the art to the actual mp3 file or to the app itself?
Crazy concept. I like it!
For some reason, I can't find it in the market. Is it still there?
so search Rockon and you will find it

Yep, search for rockon and it's the third one down if i remember correctly. unfortunately the "3" is "³" as in cubed. Not sure why they chose such a hard to search for name...
I hate to say it but I've moved back to the stock music player. I can't stand how this player functions and it is painfully slow.

[Q] Walkman clear Play Queue

hey, I'm going crazy here searching for a way to clear the play queue in the Walkman app, it just keeps on cloging up more and more with every new album I want to listen to :crying: I'm not very keen of having to delete out each track one by one... I can't believe such a option has been forgotten. But seems like I'm missing something since I can't find anybody else having this issue!
a hint please?! tia

Goto settings and clear the data in walkman app
Sent from my LT30p xda premium app.
How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
Well that sounded like a promising workaround... but unfortunately not even that works! After clearing caches of two different Walkman apps the play queue suddenly has around thirty of the first tracks from the library...
Any other tips?

Are you sure you arent mixing up the media library with the play queue.
Yes I'm talking about the play queue, I've got over 4000 tracks in the library!
Wow, I guess I'm a bit embarrassed... the issue was just caused by user stupidity
For those wondering, just touch the first track in an album or artist from the library and all these tracks replace the current play queue.

OK, please change the title of the thread to now say
[solved]
O it by editing your first post and choosing advanced.
Thanks
Glad you got sorted though

Music Pauses automatically

Im on Existenz 2.0.0 with root and unlocked BL
when i listen to music the walkman app automatically pauses every 4 mins and i make sure that i cleared all recent apps and that i dont use any force close ram mangers
i posted this in the thread of the rom but no one helped me so im hoping that anyone could help me here
Pauses or stops and needs to be reopend again?
Because I have'nt seen any reports about the walkman application pausing everytime but I do know about the RAM problems of the SP where the Walkman app gets closed.

i think it pauses because when i open the screenn i see the notification of the application being paused
also the ram problems occur when people browse and listen to music but i listen to music while my phone screen is off
Do you have to restart the song from the beginning or has it seleted another one? If so then it might me closed due to RAM problems.

acctually to be precise the song stops because when i start it again it starts from the beginning and how do i have ram problems when i close all the recent apps and i make sure that i have 160 mg free ram
Well sometimes you cant help it. It is a known issue with this device.
You can always wipe data of the walkman application and test again.

there must be something to fix it
You could try a factory reset of that ROM and test the walkman app without any other applications to see if it is app related or not.

Reflash the ROM is the only thing I can suggest at the moment.

I also experienced such glitches with music interruptions, i'm using walkman and V4A when using my phone as mp3 player. I found SOME SORT of solution and that its -- UNINSTALL ANY SD CARD TWEAKS such as SD read ahead speed or set it to device default. I suspect that maybe the tweak isn't needed coz i'm using Class-10 SDcard and applying such tweaks might be "SUPERFLOUS" and thus causing issues with music playback.
But then if still you get no better results...last option would be to USE ANOTHER ROM and uninstall the later. Just my opinion:fingers-crossed:

Perhaps a reboot might do the trick for you.
You can also try wiping the app's data/cache(settings -> apps- > walkman -> clear data/clear cache.
Lastly, if you are rooted there might be a module/app that is causing this behavior.

I had tried a re-boot, no change
I have now tried clearing data/cache, also deleting updates back to factory default, still no change
i have found now that if i hit the home button and then re-enter the app i can start a different tune but i still cannot pause or stop the current song from either the app or the mini GUI from the notifications screen.
it does appear to buffer as i start the song playing.
i'm not rooted
any more help please ?
Cheers Paul.

Recommendations on music app similar to Sony's?

I have joined the Samsung family after having been with Sony for many many years and the 1 thing I do miss are the music, keyboard and weather apps/widgets. Other then that I am loving the S10!
I do want to ask what music apps people are using though? Ideally I want 1 like Sony's as it gave me the option of a widget and I could download album art on there. I have tried many of the apks that are available for the Sony one, some don't work on the S10 and some work flawlessly EXCEPT I cannot make a playlist or add songs to my favourites. However when I tried doing these on other music apps and then going back to the Sony one, the songs will appear on my playlists?! Is there a reason for this? It's really bugging me that my S10 is not yet perfect for me :crying:
Any advice or recommendations are welcome!
Thanks:fingers-crossed:

Samsung Music 16.2.16.10 (Available On Apk Mirror) is the best music app ever made for offline playback. Its very colorful just like Sony's Walkman used to be.
For Editing Album Arts etc I would recommend Star Music editor from the play store.
Poweramp!
It's also the only music app with folders search in android auto

The Samsung app is very nice, but not usable for anyone with a music collection over 10k songs. It will only play the first 10k songs in the music players list. I've tried many different ways to get it to play different ways and it basically only plays the song you selected and the 9,999k in the first of the list from what the app can see. It wasn't like this prior to the apps updates introducing Spotify into the app.
The Sony music app, de-crippled to allow installation on all devices, is available on XDA here:

This is my favorite app for music quality, which supports different phones that have built in Hi-Res DAC or a dongle
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro
Thanks everyone for your recommendations, I'll give them all a try later on =)
Also thanks for the link to Sony's 1 but I have already tried that and as mentioned, creating playlists or adding to favourites doesn't seem to work ? but for some reason if I create those playlists in another music app, they will appear in the Sony one?! Anybody know why or how I can fix this please?
