Bugs & Improvements - Music Player - Shuffle won't shuffle past 300

I have encountered a bug and experiences of major lag functionality while using the Music player.
1. Shuffle appears to not want to shuffle past the #300. It continually bounces around in numbers under that mark no matter what category I'm in and I have over 1000 songs on my Touchpad. So maybe, 124,28,287,145...etc
2. The volume slider lags fairly heavily at times. Especially when you have more than one app open and you are multi-tasking. Also, it is redundent to also display the volume popup in the middle of the screen. I think just messing with the slider in the music app is sufficient.
3. Scubbing through a song is sometimes laggy as well.
4. Why is the fullscreen button there? why doesn't it show a picture of the Album Art or a CD front or something, and when in 'cover flow' why doesn't it then swap that button out for an icon that looks like lines with numbers or something...which is what its going back to. The full screen button seems a bit off to me. Also the snap transition from List View -> Cover Flow is a bit abrupt (it just pops), with all the other fades and nice ease in eaes out in other parts of the interface you'd think that all things would be that same way for the sake of consistency.
5. Flick Kinetic scrolling through the song list is also laggy especially with multiple apps open or multi tasking. i.e. Browser & Mail, when I am experiencing lag.
6. Cover Flow - Kinetic Scrolling/Flicking, I would like to be able to flick and have kinetic scrolling in the Cover Flow Album Art View. It would be to flick through multiple songs instead of just ONE at a time, which can be a tad slow when you sometimes have upwards of 5000+ songs in a library. Would also be nice to see the song number in the Cover Flow as well.
On the plus side the Music player in the Notification Bar is fantastic and works well from the lock screen as well. Love it when songs change and you are notified when in other apps. That is very well implemented. The beats audio is also great, argueably the best sound out of a tablet. 
Just my 2 cents!
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Thank you for your comments and the issue you have found. I will be passing the shuffle problem along to engineering as a possible bug.

  • BUG?  Music Player in iTunes is broken after update to 10.5

    I updated to iTunes 10.5.0.142 so that I could load the new ios on my iPad.  My music player worked flawlessly prior to the update, but now every single song in my library plays distorted.  Most songs are mp3's that I've ripped myself so I can play these on other players and verify it's not the audio file.  Every song playing through iTunes sounds like static, heavy synth, and cymbals.  I can tell it's the song I'm selecting, but it just doesn't sound right - maybe like you're listening to it on an FM radio channel and you're 2 clicks way (trying to listen to 94.7 FM on 94.9 FM, for example).
    I attempted to resolve by first "repairing" iTunes and then i uninstalled/reinstalled; nothing has worked.  I tried getting Support from Apple but it wants me to pay for an issue with the "free" software...no thanks.  Thankfully my hardware is working fine, albeit the iPad 1 is noticably SLOWER after this update.
    Mp3s played through Windows Media, Spotify, or HP Play (for my Touchpad) are all good - just not iTunes.  Is anyone else experiencing these issues using the iTunes music player?  This seems like a serious software bug.  Absolutely nothing changed on my computer except for the version of iTunes.

    I updated to 10.5.0.142 the day before yesterday when prompted but already had iTunes open, chose not to reboot my PC (as requested) but shut it down at the end of the day.  Yesterday when I did boot up the PC and try to go into iTunes it just kept crashing  - I got some sort of APPCRASH dialogue) before it could even open it!  I tried rebooting again but got no further. 
    Then I deleted iTunes out of my programs and tried a reinstall, but STILL it kept crashing.  So I then deleted it again and this time downloaded 10.4.1 from this link http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427 (bottom of the page).  All is now rosy again   It did tell me that there is a newer version of iTunes as soon as i went in but obviously I ignored this and turned off the prompt I won't be upgrading for a few months or at least untill I hear that all is in working order. 
    Don't expect this sort of thing from Apple (and I hear that there are proplems with the latest iPhone OS upgrade).

  • Shuffle Won't Shuffle and Only Plays Sometimes

    Help! I received a Shuffle for my birthday last month. I've charged it and loaded it, but it only plays once in a while and won't play at all when on the shuffle model. I've tried updating and upgrading, but it still only works every once in a while! I have a road race on sunday and desperately need to have music!
    Thanks.
    Penny

    Hi Anne! Thanks alot. I've been meaning to send mine back too, but just haven't gotten the chance yet. I've been able to get it to play more often than not, but the songs will only play in order and the shuffle often stops for no reason and starts at the beginning of my play list again. I was so happy to get the shuffle so am really bummed it isn't working.
    Good luck and please do keep me posted!

  • Shuffle won't shuffle

    I have a Shuffle that has stopped shuffling.
    When I move the switch to the shuffle position, it plays in order.
    My shuffle is over a year old, so I can't return it.
    I have reloaded the OS but the problem persists.
    Anyone else have this problem and come up with a resolution?
    I think it's a problem with the switch.

    Shuffle   Windows XP  

    Seeing as how it's out of warranty and you think it's a switch problem, then you might consider trying some of the following.
    Try, as a first step, cleaning the switch itself:
    A. With the switch in SHUFFLE, press PAUSE and wait for the unit to power down/sleep. This takes about a minute.
    B. Now pop off the switch cover. You can do that by gentle prying with the tip of a sharp knife blade (X-Acto works nicely).
    C. Look at the orientation of everything, then try a few gentle spritzes of CRC or some other electronic cleaner into the opening there.
    D. Replace the switch cover and work everything back and forth a few times. You should have come out of sleep mode in the middle of all this, so see if the switch is working better now.
    If it isn't, you could try repeating the process or you can get more aggressive. Short of actual disassembly and working on the switch (not recommended for most), and assuming you're not willing to just live with the situation and do your shuffling in iTunes before loading the Shuffle, then just give it a few moderately sharp raps against a tabletop or some such, trying a variety of angles/orientations. You're basically just hoping to knock that little bit of snarth out of the Shuffle's felvin and, hey, it might work ....

  • My Shuffle Won't Shuffle

    I have a Shuffle that will play just fine in the "play in order" position, but when I switch to the "shuffle songs" position, nothing happens (no light, no sound). I tried restoring it, but I got the same results. Does anyone have any suggestions? Of course, it is out of warranty!

    Restoring will fix firmware faults, but not hardware ones. You may simply have a defective slide switch and, if so, replacement is your best option.
    Note that when I say 'defective' I'm not automatically assuming a manufacturing defect; it's equally likely that this is due to some liquid getting in, some other foreign object, a result of being dropped ..... whatever. We aren't talking about a pre-existing fault on a brand-new machine here.
    As it's out of warranty, though, you have limited options. A good solution is to simply not use that mode and decide not to worry about it. Try that for a while first and see if you can live with it.
    If you can't, then you can always get more aggressive with it. I'd pop the slide switch off (easy to do with the point of a sharp cutting blade) and then try a small suction tip applied right there, maybe with a bit of shaking and gentle rapping going on. Maybe I'd also give it the barest spritz of CRC or equivalent before replacing the switch cover plate, after which I'd exercise the switch a few times.
    Or maybe you could just give it a few short, sharp raps against something sort of hard. Just on the sides, though, not on the front face. That might get the snarth out of your felvin. You'll know if you've done this one too hard, though.

  • Ipod shuffle won't shuffle

    My Ipod shuffle plays on regular mode, but simply cuts off and refuses to play on shuffle mode. I tried to clear it and update it but it still doesn't play at all on shuffle mode. Any ideas?

    a) If under warranty, just replace it. If not, then either
    b) Learn to live with it, do all of your track shuffling in iTunes or use it more for podcasts or use it more as a flash drive, or
    c) Fix it yourself, but that's a bad idea for almost everyone, so
    d) Replace it with a new one, or maybe a refurb from Apple, or maybe a 'broken' one off of eBay if you can confirm that the one you're interested in is coming from a Windozer and is exhibiting the "dread A/G blinkies of death".

  • The Shuffle won't shuffle

    Does anyone else have a problem with the shuffle not shuffling. I understand how it is supposed to work eg moving the buttong from off to the right point, but this doesn't work.

    I live in Oklahoma and I run an average of 60 miles a week. There is no way short of hermetically sealing the entire unit or using a sealed arm band or the like to keep sweat out of the headphone jack. Sweat will run right down the cord and into the jack. Of course, the reason I bought this unit was to get away from strapping stuff to my arm like was necessar with the nano. I assumed that if they are marketing a tiny shuffle for the workout crowd, it would be able to take all the sweat you can throw at it, like my Garmin wrist unit, etc. I think this technology will probably be the standard in workout MP3s going forward, so I'm sure companies will start making them waterproof. Some growing pains...

  • Music player in nokia 6288

    Can anyone help me? i have a new nokia and my problem is that my music player will not play tracks that i have downloaded from the 3 music store. I can play them individually by selecting them in the gallery. They are saved in my memory card in a folder i created but the music player states no music files found when i select that folder. I have asked 3 for help but they did not know either.
    Thanks in advance!

    The music player will not play downloaded music files from the 3 music store, i'm not sure if it a problem with 3 but the music player just won't play it.
    It will play it in the gallery but it will not show up on the music player.
    Have a try of patc's suggestion, might work.

  • NO SEARCH OPTION IN MUSIC PLAYER E6

    the developers have totally neglected to improve music player...u cannot search for songs or artists in the music player.. And marking and sending songs is so difficult in music player due to the lack of search option

    Hi Dushyanth,
    your feedback regarding Nokia products is much appreciated. However, as this is a user to user forum, i would suggest leaving feedback directly with Nokia by clicking the Contact Us tab at the top of this page.
    Hope this helps.

  • Apple TV won't shuffle homemade music videos?

    I've got a number of homemade videos (things downloaded from YouTube, etc.) I've set as music videos. Apple TV sees them just fine, and will play them just fine, but it WON'T shuffle them. It only seems to shuffle videos purchased from iTunes.
    Has anybody run into this before?
    Thanks.

    Choose a video in iTunes, right click on it and GetInfo.
    Under options tab ,skip when shuffling, is probably selected - change it for all affected videos and you should be ok.

  • Shuffle-function in music player

    I recently bought the N8 and after spending a few days of tagging and downloading album art hours I finally managed to successfully transfer my mp3 library over to the phone with minimal errors occuring.
    However, one thing that gives me a headache is that I just can't figure out how to turn the shuffle playback mode off. There's a button in the music player for turning it ON, but pressing it once again does not appear to de-activate the function, and I can't find a dedicated button for turning it off. Been searching all the menues for this too, but no luck...
    Anyone got an idea how to solve this?

    Select a song using the shuffle icon, then when it is playing select options and a different menu appears, one option of which allows you to select shuffle on or off.

  • My music won't shuffle

    My music won't shuffle. It will keep playing the same song over and over until I manually change it. Only reason it is a big deal is I listen to it while driving and manually changing each song isn't safe while driving.     

    Did you turn on shufle?
    Otherwise:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Removing album art work from standard HTC music player + shuffle issue

    Hey Everyone,
    My apologies if this has already been posted but I am having 2 issues with the music player....
    1) is there a way for the album artwork NOT to load/display for the phones standard music player? Not a major issues compared to the other (and plentiful) issues related to 2.2 but I imagine with no album artwork there would be more available memory, and regardless of the artist all my songs (1800+) have the same album artwork ...that may be related to how they were listed on my PC but either way, I do not want the album artwork to display.
    Is there a way to delete the album artwork from the phone? I know there are other music players out there, but the standard player is preferrable
    2) is anyone else experiencing an issue with the Shuffle option? As mentioned before I have 1800+ songs on my memory card but when I have the shuffle on, it seems to play only the same subset of songs. For example, the first song that came on was "Elysian Fields-Sugarplum Arches" but after that song was complete, I scrolled thru about 7 songs and that song came up again.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue with one particular album cover that seems to get assigned to a huge portion of the albums that were fine prior to 2.2 but now they are identified as Unknown.  I have deleted the album and songs that is written to all the other songs/ablums and it still uses its picture when I reload the other songs/albums.
    I even have albums that seem to be correct (picture and songs match album) but they get stuffed in the Unknown album folder. 

  • Music player widgit with shuffle

    i'm looking for a flash music player widgit that does the following:
    1) will shuffle songs, so that everytime someone visits my page with the player, the exact same song doesn't kick in.
    2) music will automatically start when you go to the page.
    I have been using Nimbit's software widget as flash music player for my home page (folks can also purchase songs in the player). However, the fact that I can't reorder tracks without spending time making a whole new project for sale, or shuffle the songs is driving me nuts.
    I've searched this iWeb message board, and found a variety of flash player widgets, but it is not clear if any of these shuffle tunes in the way I am desiring (i.e. new song from playlist with each visit).
    Thanks in advance.

    The enhanced version of the JW player should be able to handled shuffle by adding - &shuffle=1 - into the code. I haven't tried it in this mode.
    The player has a user selectable shuffle button also.
