So Google Play Music is one of my favorite android apps, i use it daily and i never really had many issues with it until i got note 3.
Like usual i just plug in my headphones and start listing to music. the problem is that sometimes after 1 song sometimes after 2, the next song is playing but there is no audio. I try to switch tracks and same thing.
Couldn't figure out what it was, i removed the headphones and plugged them back in and the audio started playing again. Tried skipping to the next song, and no audio again.
Does anyone have the same issue or knows how to fix it? I've updated the app to the latest version but i still have that issue. I tried removing the updates and same thing. Can't remove the app completely since the note is not rooted and i am not planning on rooting it just yet since the security in Knox gets triggered and voids the warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
Figured it out, it was the built in EQ. Once disabled , everything worked. Now i have to find an aftermarket eq that supports google music

I now presume you simply disabled the eq in the Google Play Music app. Here is a complete solution to fix the EQ bug.
So i did some searching on google specifically for the equalizer, and this issue is a problem across many galaxy devices. I do not have the link but basically the stock equalizer needs to be disabled.
0. Get the replacement equalizer for Google Music called "equalizer" (only equalizer)
Disable Stock Equalizer:
1. Go to settings
2. Go to device
3. go to sounds
4. go to music effects
5. Select "Equalizer" instead of "Music FX"
I have been using viper4android on my Note 3. I had been using volume+ before I got my N3.
Viper is VERY good and has a tonne of settings.
The only bad thing is that it has little hiccups where the music fades out for a moment and then comes back. I don't like the hiccups, but still worth using to me.
Oops, meant to say I mostly use Google Play Music. It also works with Pandora and most everything else I have tried with viper.
I had this problem (stock, no root) and the equalizer was not turned on. The ATT OTA seems to have fixed my audio issues.

Did you install it from the play store or from this xda thread? If the latter, I presume you edited your build.prop? just checking.

Hello all,
Before the OPO I have the Lg G2, and one of the things I like on this phone is the realy cool and usefull Music player ...
I tested many many music players on the Play Store but never find one like on LG G2
I tryed to install the G2 music APK on the OPO, he don"t want.
Can somebody port it ? or find one other similar app please ?
PS : I already have Power AMP, but the reason I hate it now, is the decode driver ... Power amp never support Viper4Audio or Faux Sound, or any sound moficitaion app/drivers ....
Thanjks a lot
You cant just put the music APk in another phone. its tied to the LG framework and it also has other apps associated to it in the system. Try poweramp or neuron.

I've been using PowerAMP + Viper on all of my previous phones and still use it with this phone. It works perfectly fine. You just need to configure it properly.
PowerAMP -> Settings -> Audio -> Advanced Tweaks -> Enable MusicFX. Disable Direct Volume Control
PowerAMP -> Tone/Vol -> Enable MusicFX Toggle.
Ensure that there are no conflicts with other mods such as DSP Manager/AudioFX. Freeze the apps.
As far as functionality is concerned poweramp is hands down the best music app for me, as for looks not so much. I like the HTC and LG music apps a lot, if someone can port those to OPO that would be wonderful.

If ur going for looks try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=another.music.player
Coming from my S6, it probably has the best music player I've used for phones. The stock one for OnePlus awful, no widget for it, just looks awful, is not a smooth interface, and has the tagging error where it can't recognise half the songs I've put on it, saying it is by "<unknown>" (A wma file error I've heard?).
But my problem is that all of the apps on the Play store don't hold a candle to Samsung Music, so
1. Is there any possible way you could install Samsung Music onto a OnePlus 3T?
2. What is the best music player for the phone (ads can absolutely kill a music app)?

i use poweramp , can ealily say its the best

BlackPlayer is one my favourites, looks absolutely amazing on amoled and has tons of customisations. It fetches artist images automatically and can also fetch album covers if missing. It has a built in tag editor as well. has a customised lock screen too. You can tweek around loads of things in it. I use the paid version, here is a link to the free version:

ive been using this for a while, its great.. no issue for me, smooth transition between pages

I will always agree with anybody who says that PowerAmp is the best music player. I have tried lots of them and PowerAmp easily came out on top. It's a very, very well-made music player.
Nothing even comes anywhere near Poweramp. Well worth the purchase.
Phonograph all the way!!! -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabouzeid.gramophone&hl=en
Free!
No IaPs!
No Ads!
F'ing nice UI!
Poweramp = the best
Poweramp
Use PowerAmp due to high customization (Both Audio & Player) !
With tons of Widgets & Skin, it is indeed one hell of a kind!
The audio quality is superb if u set it correctly aligned with every Headphones, EarPhones & Speakers
The UI is very simple too use & useful too with tons of other features...
There are BETA version too though, that one is very cool due to improved visual effect playback!
Anyways, you should try it out & support the developers!
& here i attached my screenshot of PowerAmp from my device :
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs
I had a Samsung tablet around the same generation as the S6, and don't remember the music player being anything special. In general, I personally can't stand the TouchWiz skin and apps.
My understanding, most the Samsung apps require the Samsung framework, so wouldn't work without it.
Have to agree, the OnePlus music player is awful, and just about useless. It blows my mind that the app doesn't support playlists of any kind (only tagging), not even making new playlists in app. This alone was a huge deal breaker, and I was done using the app in about 5 minutes.
Little different of a music player suggestion, I've been (a bit surprisingly) using the Google Play Music app. Free, with few frills, and not many customizations (it does have a simple equalizer - although I prefer a system wide sound mod like V4A ARISE). But it simply works. It's mostly touted as a music streaming player; but it works just fine with files stored locally on the phone. Aesthetics-wise, it obviously conforms to Google's Material Design, if you are into that.
Google Play Music is not completely ad free: when you first open the app, the app will ask you to subscribe to ad-free streaming. And the streaming itself will have an ad when you first start, and periodic ads after that (but seem to be much less frequent then some other music streaming apps like Pandora). No ads if you are playing your own music files.
While Google Play Music is not for everyone, I've been enjoying it. I actually really enjoy the curated Google music stations. I've discovered quite a bit of new music this way.
i also was disappointed by OnePlus music app, since it doesnt even have a real playlist function.
i got myself newest HTC music player here from xda, since i had a HTC before and knew the music player always was pretty solid. so i can recommend that if you dont have one yet.

Ah, another HTC refugee like myself. Which HTC phone did you come from? I had the old M8 before the 3T.
I was actually thinking of suggesting the HTC music app myself. It's well laid out, and simply works. Nothing too fancy, but well done, as most HTC apps are.
I messed around a bit with the "ported" HTC apps on my 3T. But it actually made me a little sad to use the HTC apps, after abandoning them for OnePlus.
I was simply losing faith in HTC (after owning several of their devices - going back to my first smartphone in the old Windows Mobile days). The U Ultra looked underwhelming, although the U11 looks like a much better phone (but still overpriced). And the removal of the headphone mini-jack was a deal breaker for me.

i had the HTC One S, the little brother of the One X. Quite old phone, but it did its job still pretty good. even though no updates further than 4.2.2, which was kinda sad and the 16GB also began to become short since apps and stuff got bigger and bigger over time. but then i had the chance to get the OnePlus3 for 250€ and i couldnt resist.
true words my friend. its just as simple as it needs to be and offers basically everything what you would expect from a decent music player. i completely removed the OnePlus music app now and made HTC music my default. i also tried Sony music app, since they had some "music phones" in the past but HTC one was still better and cleaner in my eyes.
overall i am really amazed by my OP3, but i have no idea what OnePlus was thinking to release a music player without playlist function. thats just like a music player without mp3 support, pure nonsense.
If you don't mind using Google's stuff, Play music is a rather solid player; I typically use it because I have a play music subscription. but it works for the free version too, and you can upload your own music if you don't feel like storing the files on your phone.
I personally don't care too much for poweramp, but I don't have much experience with it, so I can't say either way if it's a go, or a no-go
Phonograph is wonderful, That's what I use instead of OnePlus Music. Free, open-source, material design, and customizable, without too many frills. Exactly what I look for in a local-storage music solution. it's also the default music player for Omni, hence why I started using it in the first place.
Since the Note 5 I have been trying to use more native Samsung apps to see if they are better than the alternatives. I truly love Samsung internet browser for example. So I ended up purchasing poweramp when I had the note 7 and I can't remember why. I am think that Samsung music didn't do something that I wanted so I used poweramp instead. Today I downloaded Samsung music and I can't seem to figure out if it has been update or something, but it seems to work great.
Tldr... is PowerAmp better than Samsung Music , if so why.
Thanks for your time.

Bro i'm drinking heavy right now but mann. Power Amp is so better than Samsung music, It's better than any player really. Finds HD pictures for songs automatically and even album covers , has good scanning features ( even though i turn it off ), Has BASS and alot of EQ options, Has the crossfade, dope skins. It just has so much better options and has always been my go to. Power Amp, Nova Launcher and Swiftkey bro are the apps i install as soon as i get a new phone or new ROM.
Poweramp is good all around and easy to navigate. Neutron is good but has complicated and limited UI. Use FLACs to get the most out of your listening.
In my opinion PowerAmp is much better than the Samsung Music.... it has a lot of tweaking for sound enhancements and the application's interface.

I've been using samsung devices from when the android era started to when I bought Asus Rog 2,
And I think that samsung music is the most simple and featured music player of all the available ones.
So I checked all the ported samsung music apps available out there but none seems to be working with the device.
Can anyone help please?
I was in the same state a few months back. Samsung's music player app cannot be ported to other devices, unless it's part of the Galaxy lineup.
I searched for an alternative and ended up using Poweramp.
It has a really good looking and customizable UI and looks awesome with 120hz display.
Try poweramp

Samsung music works here. I used it for a while but uninstalled due to ads. Try Poweramp as others suggest or use VLC.
Thanks guys.
Just bought the Poweramp, it turns out it's really good.
Thanks again for the suggestions

PowerAMP is great, and there are other apps honestly i would consider are leagues better than most stock apps.
Noteable ones i can think of are.
- PowerAMP (as you already know)
- BlackPlayer EX (tones of customization and audio control)
- Retro Music Player (very modern, well designed and has audio control)
I tried PowerAMP for a while and found it drained battery faster than the other apps but if you don't have any battery problems its an amazing app. personally i have stuck to BlackPlayerEX because i love the customistion options and the UI is clean and because i usually always carry alot of songs (1000+) on me its got the fastest interface as some other apps struggle.

Tbh simplicity of the samsung music app is something that I am still missing.
It's gonna take a while to get used to these 3rd party music players.

if you really want you can just download the samsung music app from the playstore or try sideload the apk
I don't have my ROG Phone 2 yet so i can't test it but i imagine there's no plausible reason it wouldn't work.
