Frustrating bugs in Music app

Since at least iOS 6.1 I have had a problem where if I am playing music from a playlist, answer a call or do some other activities that interrupt the music, then at some point start playing music again it starts on the wrong song in the playlist. Instead of starting where it left off, it will start where it started the last time I played music. Edit: this seems to happen when I shut down the Music app. I usually like to play music from the lock screen or the controls in the running apps area, and close the Music app after I make changes.
More frustrating: when I edit a playlist on my phone, and rearrange the songs, then tap "Done," the songs do not end up in the order I chose. The program is using the wrong index for the songs to move, so if I move a song up two spaces, when I press "Done" the song that has moved will actually be the one that was previously immediately above the one I was trying to move. This is extremely frustrating and seems to make it impossible to move the last song on the playlist (the one I had just added and wanted to put in order). I don't understand how this functionality was broken when it used to work. Did anyone test this at all?
It's bad enough that I don't have the option of just pushing a button to sort a playlist alphabetically after I've added something to it. I've put up with that since playlist editing was added to the phone. But now I can't even edit the order manually? Come on, people. Get it together. When will this be fixed?
Edit: and I just realized because of the new Podcast crap, the songs I have in my playlist that came from a podcast now won't play when the playlist is on shuffle? Whose bright idea was that?

  • IOS6 bug in music app

    After upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone4 the music app no longer has a "Add all" option on the playlist/album/tracks screen.
    Bug or feature?

    Funny I found a LOT of posts everywhere (just google Modular) about the same thing. and it seems that it's "a feature" of the media controls in Control Centre that is not pretty well accepted by a lot of us.
    Maybe it is your phone the one is not working properly or you're just writing back cause you have plenty of time.
    Example:

    Just do that yourself:
    Go to Safari or Facebook (youtube app doesn't apply to it)
    Watch a video/audio clip there
    Lock your phone or whatever
    open your Control Center and you HAVE to see "Safari" or "Facebook" or whatever app you last used to play media
    Press on play and it will obviously not resume playing
    If you are on Safari for example and still have the page with the media link active, it will show the link but not resume it; you can close the page or even close safari, and in control centre you'll see "Safari" and clicking on Play won't resume anything.
    I hope you try it, and if it doesn't shows on your iPhone, then you'd better be going to an apple store and get it checked up.
    once again, just for you to see this:

  • Music App: Playlist name doesn't display under folder

    I believe I have found a small but annoying bug in Music App.  I have my playlists organized into folders in itunes.  After sync'ing playlists in those folders to my iphone 6 (ios 8.1), when you select the folder, and then a playlist, instead of showing the playlist name at the top of the screen, it repeats the folder name.   For example, I have the folder "Smart" that I have my smart playlists in, when I choose a playlist in that folder this is what I see:
    Instead of showing the playlist name "Random Hard Rock" it repeats the folder name "Smart".

    hey i got the same problem on my iphone 5 since i updated to 8.1 what's wrong with this update ?

  • Ios7 no call decline option when its locked battert drains fast music is not able to controlled through headset unless the music app is open  please fix these bugs

    Ios7 no call decline option when its locked battert drains fast music is not able to controlled through headset unless the music app is open  please fix these bugs

    if they are unable to update all languages in a normal time gap (it is now 6 months ago they released firmware 4.22 for the first product code (actually mine and maybe a few others)), they should not offer those many versions. the huge bug with out of memory in nokia navigator with firmware 3.58 is not fixed yet for those people. really absolutely not acceptable.
    besides that, currently my phone is in a nokia service center, microphone doesnt work anymore (the one who i call just hears a very loud noise). my brother got the same phone, his one is in nokia service center since 2 weeks now, because it doesnt charge anymore as there seems to be a connection broken inside the phone).
    well that will be fun if the phone returns (approximately 4 weeks), as I guess the phones will have new IMEIs as they will send 2 new phones and not fix the problem (would cost them more). but as i got a western europe with nordics-map licence locked to the imei, the next problem will be there after I get a nokia 6110navi with another IMEI back. i get really upset with this really slow support.

  • 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?

  • IOS Music app: Album and Artist bugs

    My iPod touch (5th generation, iOS 7.1.1) has several bugs in its Music app. Here is how I was able to reproduce the bugs.
    Go to the Artists view.
    Select an artist from an album with multiple artists. (Example album: The Lego Movie; example artist: Will Arnett)
    Go to the Albums view.
    Select the same album from step 2.
    BUG 1: The album only shows the song by that artist. I should see all songs on the album. In addition, the duration of all songs in the album is limited to the song I see, rather than all songs on the album. (When connected to the Internet, "Show Complete Album" appears. [Screenshot] Tapping it invites me to download all of the other songs in the album, which I already have.)
    Go to the Artists view.
    Select another artist from the same album from step 2. (Example artist 2: Mark Mothersbaugh)
    BUG 2: I only see songs by the artist in step 2, rather than songs by the artist I selected. [Screenshot]
    Go to the Albums view.
    Close and re-start the iOS Music app.
    Select the same album from step 2. I see all of the album's songs again.
    Go to the Artists view.
    Select an artist from the same album as in step 2.
    BUG 3: I see the entire album, rather than just the songs by the selected artist. In addition, the artist at the top of the screen is the artist of the first song in the album. [Screenshot]
    Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?

    Unfortunately, the 15-minute edit deadline on my original post passed, so I need to make the following correction here:
    "Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?"
    should be
    "Can anyone else confirm these bugs? Also, what is the best way to report these bugs to Apple?"

  • Possible Bug/s with Music app

    I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but on my TouchPad none of my album art shows up in the preview mode when selecting a song.  All but two albums will show up in full screen mode, the first bad one just gives a black box and thesecond one shows it sees no album art at all.  When loaded in HP Play all the songs show the have album art.
    My second issue is one of the albums I do have the music app thinks two of the songs from the album are from an unknowen album and unknowen artist.  Again HP Play see everything fine with it.  Same as iTunes for all my music.

  • Ios7 sort by artist in music app landscape view help or bug

    I have installed IOS7 on my iphone 5 and noticed that when you look at your music in landscape view (used to be coverflow) the music is not sorted by artist ? it was in ios6 coverflow.
    I have the option selected in the music options and the msuic is sorted by artist but in portrait mode in music app its sorted by artsist but not in landscape (wall view) in the music app.
    anyone noticed this i have all my artist albums all over the place in landscape view in the music app

    Mine is not working either. It just shows the album covers in a random order.  You might want to provide feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Bug in ios 7 music app

    Hello community,
    I have a problem with the ios 7 iphone 5 music app.
    I have a lot of albums with various artists. The various artists are in the wrong genre... For example genre->classical->various artists->Dr.Dre albums...
    All various albums are in every genre...
    The music app in ios 6 was perfect, i want all functions in ios 7 !!!
    Please fix it !

    I am really hoping this is not intentional and is fixed a.s.a.p.
    Speaking of, does anyone know why the artist photo is sometimes reperesented by one of the album covers (if there is more than one album) and other times a picture of the actual band is used? I am noticing that after 7.1, a lot of the pictures that were album covers before are now pictures of the members of the band (generic photos not picked by me), which is equally as obnoxious as the albums being reverse chronological order. *** is going on here?

  • Bug Report: use of Stock Music app causes Droid X to stop recognizing MP3 files

    Here's an interesting one:
    At some point within the last week or so, not sure how exactly when, I noticed my phone suddenly stopped playing any MP3 files. Ringtones. Music. All stopped working. When I'd try to play an MP3 file by opening it in either Ringdroid or Astro, my Droid X displayed an error that the audio file type was not supported. Rebooting the phone fixed the issue. The unit was able once again to play audio, but would stop again a short time later. What could be causing this?
    My wife and I have identical Droid Xs. I use the Music app and she does not. She has not yet lost any audio capabilities on her device. Based on this, I downloaded the DoubleTwist player and have been using it regularly for 3 days.
    My DroidX played all audio files without a problem. It retained all ringtones and notifications and played any MP3 file on demand.
    I switched back to using the Music player to play 1 file. Within an hour, my phone had once again failed to recognize MP3 files and had to be rebooted.
    Is there a workaround for this?
    And will the MotoRizon engineers be fixing this in the rumored forthcoming patch?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello sledball. I have read your post and understand your issue with the MP3 files on your device. You will want to perform a hard reset on your device and backup everything on your SD Card and if needed reformat your SD Card. 
    From the home screen, touch the applications tab(located at the bottom of the display).
    Touch Settings.
    Touch Privacy.
    Touch Factory Data Reset.
    Touch Reset Phone.
    If presented, enter the current passcode or draw the unlock pattern
    Touch Erase Everything.
    Ive done the hard reset after upgrading to 2.2... and this doesn't help.. My Droid X will still not recognize my mp3's and will change my ringtone to default from time to time...

  • A bug in the Music App in iOS 6.1

    I'm on an Iphone 5 running iOS 6.1. Is this happening only to me?
    I'm looking for a song by Janis Ian on the Music App, and as you can see in the capture, there aren't any songs by her in the library (after Janet Jackson is Jarcha)... but if I search for her name, it appears!!... any clue? I'm also using iTunes Match.

  • Bug: All music disappeared (gone) after app crash

    I had 3000+ songs in my music collection.  I was in the Alarm app and the alarm sound option.  I selected a sound/song from my music collection (heard the sample music).  Then I changed my mind and selected a different song.  The Alarm App froze.  I pressed the home button, restarted the Alarm app and tried again.  This time, there was no music to select.  I exited the alarm app and clicked on my Music app.  All music gone.  Went to Settings, General, About...the Song count = 0.
    I don't know whether this is a hardware or software problem, but the fact that something so basic is even possible, is quite worrying.  Anyone else had similar strange experiences?

    Me too!
    As a brand new iPod user, I have to say, I'm not impressed. Most of my library was ripped from original CDs. I hope they can be found on my system somewhere and fixed. And fast!
    I am travelling overseas for three months tomorrow and now can't take my tunes with me.
    Not good.
    Does Apple monitor this board?

  • Music app bug with iPad iOS 7.0.3

    Hi,
    My Music app was working fine until ios 7.0.3. Now, when I hit play, it goes from song to another really fast without actually playing them...
    Is that happening to anyone else?
    Thanks!
    Chris.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • I am using ios 7 on the iPad 4.. The OS restarts suddenly when I open the music app and and select a radio station.. Is this a bug?.. Or any updates coming to resolve this?...

    Rare restart problem when I play radio from music app..

    cor-el:
    Thanks for the suggestion. I already tried rebuilding that file as well and it didn't help. Also, all the changes I make are retained from session to session in terms of placement and what's shown/hidden, it's just the contents of the bookmark toolbar that disappear. The toolbar is still there and I can drag things to it, but again, they disappear after restarting the browser.
    edit (clarification):
    When I say the items disappear, I mean they are no longer visible or clickable. They are still there in the sense that they appear in the Bookmark menu and if I move the Bookmark Toolbar from its own toolbar into the space next to the Menu Toolbar, they are then shown.

    4. Tap View Apple ID
    5. Sign into the store

    7. Launch iTunes Radio and try again!
