3rd party music app to play iTunes?

I'm looking for a 3rd party music app to replace the updated music app; any suggestions?
I listen to music constantly on public transportation and the app is garbage now. I try and forward to the next song while shuffling and consistently hit the volume control instead, which is right below. I am a little sick of having my eardrums blown.
The artist view takes far too long if you have multiple albums.
If I can't replace the app I will replace the phone.

How to play previously DRM protected content in 3rd party iOS apps?

I have a collection of tracks which I purchased from iTunes around 2008, which have the iTunes DRM protection. I would like to play these tracks through 3rd party iOS applications. Specifically, the applications "NuVo Player", "Sonos", and "Ambify", although this seems to apply to all 3rd party music apps.
To remove the DRM from the files, I signed up for iTunes match. I enabled the service in iTunes, and let it scan my library. Once it was complete, I deleted the tracks which have DRM, and used the iTunes match service to re-download them. I used the Finder to inspect the new files, and verified that they are no longer protected. They are .m4a format, and are capable of being played by 3rd party applications in OS X.
I then removed the protected files from my phone, and manually re-synced the new files to my phone. Even after doing this, they are unplayable by 3rd party iOS apps. Unsurprisingly, syncing this .m4a file to a new device (which never had the protected version) allows it to play.
It seems that metadata of some kind may be retained on the iOS device. I suspect a full device restore would fix the problem, but I'm looking for a less intrusive solution.

I found that restoring defaults on the device, followed by a restore from backup, allows this track to play in 3rd party apps.

After recent update to ios8 my music apps wont play but are still on my phone any help much welcome please

hi people I just upgraded my iphone5 last night to ios8 everything went smooth until today when I tried my music apps and none of them work? Any help welcome guys you how much you need music on the iphone Cheers

Hey there Steamboat14,
It sounds like you are unable to use 3rd party music apps on your phone after you udpated to iOS 8. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article for each app affected in this way, named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.Contact the developer
If you see the issue again, contact the developer of the app for help:
Find the app in the App Store.
Tap the app and tap Reviews.
Tap App Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Looking for an app the play iTunes TV shows.

Hi, I'm looking for an app that play iTunes TV shows. In iOs 7 its no longer possible, well it is, but every 11 minutes you have to get up and press the next tv show - if you find the next one, under ios6 it will automatically play the next show in correct order, and in iOs 7 all the shows are alphebetically, so in iOs 7 video app is tootally useless, what wants to watch tv shows alphabetical, and there is no continue button like in os 7, usually the next night I press the continue button in iOs 6.
The app I am looking for needs to have the same things like video app did in iOs6, for example;
1. Continue from last played (Works in iOs6, no longer supported in iOs7).
2. Sort shows from 1 to xx via episode number (Works in iOs6, no longer supported in iOs7).
3. Remember last played show, meaning if I scrolled down to middle and played just 1 show it remembers it (Works in iOs6, no longer supported in iOs7).
4. Prefer black background and not white like in iOs6, especially if your sleepy, do you really want to look at a painful white background.
Just imagine your taking a bath, do you really want to get out and press the next show? Worked perfect in iOs6.
I tried VLC and it can't even find the iTunes library. And there are so many players out there don't feel like downloading 100 of them to test them. Unless there is a way to download the iOs6 version of Video, I'd be happy. iOs 7 feels more like a beta version, even photos is messed up, white background and sometimes when you open up you see a previous picture I had opened before the last picture for 1 second before it closes and opens the last picture I viewed, and then the white bars top and bottom show and don't dissapear until you make them disappear.
I tried installing iOs6 again, but apple is not signing it, i'm not happy at all. If I can get my TV-Shows to work at least I'd have something. Music, TV-Shows, and Pictures is what I used my iPad for, now only Music still works as it should, what a bummer. Steve Job needs to come back.
Please help, I want my TV shows back.

Audio Output Selection in 3rd Party Media Apps

In all 3rd party media apps that I have, including Netflix and Pandora, among others, I do not have that box/arrow button that allows me to choose which audio output to use.
I normally have my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3) connected to a pico projector, and paired with a set of bluetooth headphones.
Depending on the order I plug the projector in, or pair the headphones, I can get the audio to play through the right channel, but it is very finicky. If there are any interruptions (call, text, ect) or if Ieave the app, and come back, it defaults to the serial connection, and tries to play the audio through the project.
Is the lack of the audio channel selection button on the iOS side or the app side?
Thanks!

You should be able to reset the default app in application settings, then it'll ask again, but I don't remember how >_>

Music app stops playing for a few seconds then starts

After updating to lollipop the music app would play for a few minutes then stops for a few seconds then play again, did not have issue with kitkat. Help please.

It's back!!!!!! The problem went away for a few days now same issue. It only happens when I am listening to sound files on the headphones - sudden pause then restart in the middle of playing the sound file, this happens with different music/podcase apps. No issue with bluetooth streaming or speaker phone. So it appears there is a software bug with Lollipop update - never had this problem with KitKat. Factory reset does not fix it. I wish there was a way to revert the phone back to KitKat. Hoping the new Lollipop update would fix this.

the itunes radio isnt showing up on the music app and the itunes store on my iphone 5. what should i do? help me please

Hello, Ninaxand.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are a US customer, try forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device. Test accessing iTunes Radio after processing these steps. I would also make sure cellular data is enabled for iTunes.
iOS: Force an app to close

3rd party software to correctly sort iTunes?

I am sick of sending in an enhancement request almost every new itunes release to ask if there can be more flexibility and user choice in how to sort things in iTunes. What I mean is that "An Ocean Between Us" should go under "A" not "O" like Apple forces it to be. I would also like numbers to come first like it does in the rest of the world and like it did in the past in iTunes 7.something. So I'm reaching out now to ask if there is a 3rd party software that works with iTunes that can fix this purposefully instituted problem. I could go through evey single song/artist/album and do it manually but since I have a ton of songs that would take months and I'd surely miss a lot. I understand that Apple likes to try to reinvent the wheel everytime but reinventing the wheel with a hexagonal shape is idiotic and doesn't work like people want it to. I don't know of anyone who actually likes the sorting in iTunes, except for skipping over "The" at the beginning of titles. So is there a 3rd party program that works with iTunes that can do what I want, or am I stuck with this idiotic sorting for now?
Thanks!

Apple Web apps versus 3rd party Web apps

There would appear to be some confusion regarding the use of Web apps on the iPhone; specifically, whether the iPhone warranty is voided if a Web app not currently offered on the Apple site at: http://www.apple.com/webapps/, is used on the iPhone. The issue came to light when a poster suggested using the iPhone Pixel Fix Web app (http://www.ebaspace.com/iphone-app/#_home), intended to resolve issues with stuck or dead pixels on the screen.
My understanding is that the use of any Web app that is not Apple approved automatically voids the iPhone warranty, no matter how innocuous it may seem or be. However, it may be that some users consider 3rd party Web apps, such as iPhone Pixel Fix, to be "allowed", as they run on locked/legal iPhones, and are not downloaded onto the phone.
As usual, I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong. May I have your thoughts, advice etc.?
Cheers.

jia10,
Web apps were available even before Apple posted the web apps directory. The information about each web app in the web apps directory is supplied by the submitter which is usually the author. Being included in the web apps directory does not indicate endorsement, recommendation, etc on the part of Apple, it is a directory of available web apps.
No web app should be able to void your warranty, regardless of the site it is posted to, unless it were to exploit a known or unknown security hole. For example, there was a web app that would exploit a security hole to "jailbreak" the iPhone. That was fixed in a previous update to the iPhone.
The Pixel fix web app cycles the colors on the iPhone screen several times using Javascript. It does not install anything on the screen. Essentially it tries to do the opposite of screen burn in. Whether or not it will work, I do not know.
However, using a web-based application that does not overwrite system files or modify the file system, does not void your warranty.
Installing third-party native applications or files that require you to crack the iPhone file system could potentially cause damage to the iPhone's firmware, and would void your warranty.
Hope this helps,

Fix for Music app crash with iTunes Match "on"

Sometimes if you try to use iTunes match for the first time on 3G(or any other cellular connection) it crashes Music app permanently. It can occur if you try to run Music app on the go with bad 3G connectivity so some data is corrupted or configured incorrectly. I had this twice, but found this "easy" fix without a need of PC/Mac computer & iTunes.
How to fix music app crash with itunes match "on".
Step by step on the iPad:
- delete all music on your device:
Go to settings->usage->view list of all apps->swipe music icon ->choose delete
- set itunes match off
- run music app
- give it a while till it shows "no music" info and only shop button. It needs to reload all settings and clear all data. Wait till no loading circle.
- go to settings app again
- music settings - itunes match on but "show all your music" off !
- open music app
- wait till all your music lists covers download. It will take a while. Scroll down to load them all if you want. Wait till no loading circle.
- go to settings app again
- music settings - show all your music on
- go to music app
- wait till it download list of all your music
Done
Maybe you can fix this with lesser number of steps but this way I'm sure it works.

Using the Remote App and playing iTunes from a shared Library

I have a playlist set up in my main iTunes library on my iMac. This is a shared library on my local network at home. I can access and play the library remotely from my MacBook. I want to move my MacBook outside with external speakers for a party. I want to be able to access the shared library from the iMac inside the house from my MacBook and be able to control it with the Remote App.
My problem is that when I use Remote and the MacBook outside (I've set up the iTunes passcode with that computer and my iPod) it will only recognize the library on that computer, even if I am logged in to the shared library and it is visible in the MacBook. So basically, remote is doing what it is suppose to do in a normal situation, but I need it to recognize and play from the shared library.
When I turn on home sharing on the iPod I can access all the libraries on the various macs in our house, but the music will only play out of that particular machines speakers.
I don't have wireless speakers, so I can't think of another way to do this. Is there?
Thanks, Sandy

Well, I've got it to work although not ideal.
1. On my main computer (iMac) I created the playlist that I want available to control at a party.
2. I went to iTunes settings/Sharing and selected "Share selected playlists" and checked the playlist I made for a party.
3. I Linked my iPod to MacBook (which is outside with external speakers) using the 4 digit code
4. iPod, Home Sharing Off
5. Select the Library on iPod
6. Select "More" (bottom right of iPod)
7. Select "Shared" from the list that appears
8. Select the computer that has the shared library
9. Select the playlist (or lists if you created others)
This setting is allowing me to use my iPod "Remote App" to play an iTunes playlist (or the entire catalogue) from a shared library on my MacBook WITH the sound coming from my MacBook and NOT from my iMac where the original iTunes catalogue is located.
Not sure if this is the easiest way, but it's working.

Major Music app bugs w/ iTunes Match

I have iTunes Match and the Music app on my iPhone is almost un-usable. Two major bugs are causing this:
1. Sometimes, a song will fail to play if it's not downloaded. I'll have it on shuffle-all and a song will come up and the app will pause for a minute (as if it's building the cache, which is fine), but then the song will fail to play and the next track will begin. If I go back to that song, it will immediately skip it. The only way to play the song, is to download it manually (with the little cloud icon) and it will play fine. HUGE pain in the butt when I'm driving.
2. More often than the first bug, a song will begin to play and when it get's to the 1-minute mark, it will skip to the next track for five seconds and then come back. When it comes back to the original track the counter will start ticking, but no music will play. The only way to get it to play again is to seek to before the 1 minute mark and hope it doesn't happen again (about 30% chance of getting through it). If it doesn't happen at the 1 minute mark it will sometimes happen at the 2 or 3 minute mark (+/- 5 seconds).
Is it just me?

Okay, so since I'm the only one experiencing this problem... is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to submit a bug report?

Music app not playing my music at all!

After updating to ios5 my music app is not working. I have two iPads, one 64gb wifi and one 32gb 3G. One has 40 gb of music and the other has 20gb music. When I attempt to play the music it keeps jumping randomly to different songs. None of the songs actually play. I have removed the music from the iPads and reloaded them several times and I have factory rest the iPads and reloaded ios5. None of this fixed the issue. Additionally there is a portion of my storage space on each iPad called other and it is way too big, taking up about 25% of my storage space. Further, the sync to reload the music is taking about 24 hours. I have tries to sync wireless as well as wired. I sync to a MacBook pro 2009 with lion 10.7.2 and latest iTunes.

I seem to be having the exact same problem after upgrading to IOS5 on my iPad 2 64GB 3G. I'm syncing against a Win 7 64-bit system with all the latest patches, and the latest iTunes. I also noticed the strange use in 'Other' after finally getting the upgrade to work.
I haven't tried to factory reset and reinstall yet, since it took me about 4 hours to get the upgrade to complete last night. I had about a dozen failures during the upgrade process, then 2-3 failures while it was trying to restore all the apps/music/etc.
