Bug in Mobile Music Player using iCloud

Hi there.
I noticed some problems with the Music Player from iOS 6.0.1 when using iCloud on the iPhone 5 16GB.
I have stored my whole musiclibrary in iCloud using iCloud and iTunes match.
When I want to play tracks on my iPhone I first have to download them by clicking the iCloud button in the Music Player app. This also works.
But sometimes I notice that some tracks just dissapear from my iPhone which will makes me unable to play them. The tracks are still inside the music library but can't be played. Let me show you this in an example:
(Tracks from a playlist which contains more than one track. (Shuffle set to off, Repeat All set to on)
Normal behavior: Open Music Player -> Choose desired track -> Track will be played.
Erratic behavior: Open Music Player -> Choose desired track -> Track will be skipped. Music Player jumps to next working track. It seems the player rendoy switches to the next track as it will also skip other working tracks in some cases.
(Tracks from a playlist which only contains one track (incomplete album). (Shuffle set to off, Repeat All set to on)
Normal behavior: Open Music Player -> Choose desired track -> Track will be played.
Erratic behavior: Open Music Player -> Choose desired track -> Track can't be played. Play icon in status bar is flickering for about 3 seconds. Music Player responds extremely slow after this.
After exiting Music Player app from switcher bar it works normally.
So now I have my music library with music I own (purchased in iTunes and uploaded with iTunes Match) which I can't play, remove or redwownload.
I noticed the problem with disappearing tracks already in iOS 5.x but back then I was able to redownload them. Now this doesn't work anymore.
Any comments on that issue ?
I'd like to see that bug being fixed with the next bug fix release of iOS.
Regards
Dominik

E72 Optical Key seems to make the Music Player use...

... given that if you go anywhere near it, it jumps towards the start of the track. However, if you disable it, then you can't focus the camera. Any workarounds?
And while we're on the topic of the Music Player, I find it pretty bad that you can't exit out of the application and then have it pick up playing where you left off. I don't mean let it keep going in the background - I mean actually leave the Music Player. This seems like pretty basic functionality. Makes listening to podcasts on the phone very tedious. Am I missing something? Is there a way to pick up where you left off?

I suppose I've been spoilt by having a previous phone with dedicated music player buttons. I wish there was a way to have this on the E72 although I realise that media playing isn't the focus of the phone.
As for autofocus with the optical key off - I know that you can still take the photo, but you can't pre-focus and then decide not to take the photo at all. Maybe not a biggie but still an annoyance.
Sometimes the optical key creates more problems than it solves. As I've said in another post, I'm pretty sure it's responsible for moving the cursor in Maps without any input at all.

Music player bug on iPhone 5 after iOS7.1.1 update

Good day everyone,
There are over 30,000 discussions here so i would like to post this report. after i updated my iphone5 to ios 7.1.1 i have been experiencing a bug with the music player. the bug is when i started to play a playlist and tried to select other song within the playlist while a music is running, my action give a next command instead of playing the music that i selected.
i hope for your quick resolution.
thank you..

I think all you need to do is Reset your iPhone (press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release). My iPhone 5 on 7.1.1 does not do this, so it is not an iOS bug, just a quirk in your particular installation. Worse case, you may need to do a Restore of the iPhone, but try Reset first.

Music Player Blues (Bugs + Missing Features)

I've discovered three potential bugs with the music player.
The first is very minor, but would be nice to have fixed: in a playlist, I find that often when one song has an album art but the next in the playlist does not, the player often does not update the album art that is being displayed (that is, it shows the previous song's album art rather than the generic background).
The second problem has caused me much grief - every now and then one of my playlists on the device will get wiped out. It's happened twice now, both with the same playlist. Both times the playlist had 200-300 songs in it.
Third, sometimes the ability to control the music player with the mute button goes away. I've noticed this occurs most commonly after watching a youtube video on the device (even after the browser is closed).
I'd be happy to send any additional information required to get these things fixed ASAP.
If I could suggest a few enhancements for future updates, please consider the following:
-When deleting a song, it would be nice to see on the warning dialog the name of the song you're deleting. A couple times I've held my finger over the wrong song and didn't realize it till it was too late.
-Would also be nice if the music player could be turned into a background app that can be launched from the settings menu.
-There does not appear to be a way to search for a song inside a playlist. This is a must-have feature!

My E51 music player is not responding ,.why ?

My E51 mobile music player not working

ARRgggghh same here. download files, then the player hangs. I had it go on for hours to resolve the problem itself. Then I had to press the cancel button, AND now it will not even show what was previously recorded in the music library. I am NOT impressed by this nor how Nokia (not) responds to this., bad bad bad!.
(disappointed and will toss it unless something WORKABLE is send out by the Nokia software team. Oh and the firmware update. Don;t even try that. too many colleagues of mine had the wifi die over it.!

Nokia N8 - Music Player does not show track progre...

I am having this annoying problem after the belle refresh update. Earlier the music player used to show track progress bar perfectly. Now after the update it does not show progress bar most of the time while playing a song.
On further observation, I noticed that the progress bar shows up correctly everytime for the songs which does not have a album art embedded in it. But if I play a song with a album art, most of the time the progress bar does not appear at all.
Is anyone else having the issue? Try playing few different songs with album art attached. Hope nokia fixes this soon.
Also earlier tapping on the album art/icon used to display the volume up-down slider. Now that feature is gone. Since I use a hard cover, it's difficult for me to use the hardware volume buttons every time. Why did you remove a useful feature nokia?

(To Technical Expert)
I know about the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and have already used it. What I don't like is the progress bar that is displayed on the album art. Can't they remove the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and just place the progress bar above the (previous track, pause/play & next track touch icons) like it was in the first Belle Update for the N8 v111.030.0609? That 'Now Playing' view looked way better than it looks now because the album art was bigger and the progress bar was not displayed on the album art like it is now. Surely if they changed it to the way it looks now, they can change it back to the way it was before. It's just the progress bar positioning, I've been a Nokia fan for years and hope that they will make that small tweak.

Ford sync not starting music player on Droid Razr Maxx

I have basic sync in my 2011 F-150 and with my old Incredible I was able to start the music player using sync as long as I had Bluetooth turned on. Now I have the Droid Razr Maxx and to play music I have to manually start the music player to get it to work. Does anyone know if this is just how it has to be or is there a way to get Sync to start the music player on my Droid Razr?

Nokia music player won,t load

My nokia music player has stopped working recently and gives the error mesage " Nokia music has encountered a problem and needs to close" I have tried downloading the latest software but still get the same result . I am using windows Xp and this has worked fine for 10 months. I would be grateful if anyone has a solution to this problem. Thanks in anticipation.

I'm having a similar problem. Ovi Player reported a new version that transpires to be Nokia Music Player. I downloaded the appropriate software which include Components. Components appeared to install correctly, but the Nokia Music Player installation reports a problem when it is about 20% installed - I cannot use it, and I cannot get back to Ovi Player. I uninstalled Nokia Music Player, removed all the downloads and tried again - I even tried the USA version (I am in UK) and that did the same thing. Not sure how to undo the Components bit and re- install them in case the problem is there. Seems to be a problem in the Nokia Software house at the moment - I could not download two tracks from the Ovi store even though it charged me for them.
Later - I've managed to remove the Nokia Multimedia Common Components and am trying reinstalling them.
Even later - that worked, so I guess there was a problem with the Nokia Multimedia Common Components download and install first time. I had to remove them both (Components and Music Player) using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. I used Search to find all 'Nokia' folders and files, deleted all the ones modified on the day I downloaded them, and started again. Success. Except that both Ovi Player and Music Player seem to take forever to sign me in? Is it relevant that the third download (which was successful) was Louis Armstrong singing "We have all the time in the World"?

How do I use my original iphone as a music player?

I've upgraded my iphones through the years, but I always kept my first one. It's an 8GB original iphone, and I'd like to give it to my 12 year old to use as a music player with itunes. I tried connecting it to my current itunes (11.0.3.42), and it doesn't even recognize a device is connected. It just displays the icon of a USB connector and an arrow pointing to an itunes icon.
Do I need to install an old version itunes to make it work? Where do I find links to old itunes downloads?
Is there anything else I need to do to make it work?
Has anyone else done this recently? Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what you've tried already, but have you considered reset, restore or both? I had recently done this to my iPhone-1st Gen for a different reason. After the restore, make sure to give the iPhone-1 a separate name from your main mobile device.
The new name is only so you can recognize the different sync settings and playlists on the older device. iTunes software can tell the difference wheter you rename or not. Just make sure that you always use the correct backup when you sync, reset or restore.
How to Reset
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data. Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Disconnect the iDevice from the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes. My guess is that the reset did not work.
How to Restore
DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Connect the iDevice to the computer.
Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!! However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv. (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing. I can't search/browse any other music)
If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
My problem involves:
icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier. Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing. This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
What does work is:
iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off. I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

Can I use the Podcast app like the older iOS 6 Music Player?

I've updated to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1 and found that things seem drastically different.
How i used to do podcasts:
Subscribe to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
What used to happen:
Podcasts that were selected to sync did if there were unplayed episodes
The Music player would list only those podcasts where there were unplayed episodes
Now things have changed. I immediately was told that none of my podcasts were playable without the Podcast app. I downloaded it and installed it.
What is happening now:
Still subscribing to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
Podcasts showing unplayed in iTunes on my Mac = 46
Podcasts showing unplayed in the Podcast app = 57 - the difference appears to be that the podcast app is showing non-downloaded podcasts
Podcast app showing all podcasts whether or not there are any to play. The list includes podcasts that are not supposed to sync to my phone.
The Podcast listing appears to be in a random order (actual list shown)-
Apple Keynotes (no episodes)
This week in Photo (8 episodes)
Jake and Amir (no episodes)
Podcast Beyond (no episodes)
Accidental Tech Podcast (no episodes)
Vector (1 episode)
Podcasts with no new episodes now show a new episode though it looks like the episode is not downloaded
I'm not sure why what is being shown in iTunes is not being shown in the Podcast app.
Is there anyway to get the old behavior using the Podcast app?

Additional information. Can this be right?
I spoke to Apple support who said that the settings for podcast syncing in iTunes are no longer being used since Apple moved to their Podcast app.
This may explain why I see all 45 podcasts on my iphone when I only have 15 of them set to sync.
She also said that I would need to manually sync listened/unlistened podcasts between my Mac and my mobile devices since podcasts were no longer being synced from iTunes.
Can anyone verify?

Can I use iCloud as my library instead of using local storage? Would I be able to synchronize the music on my phone? and make CDs out of the my music in the icloud using itunes?

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.
