Music player on iPad.

Why change the layout? The last was similar to iTunes and very familiar to apple product users. I preferred that layout. Also I would like the ability to rate tunes on a 5 star basis, view play count. Look, just give us iTunes on iPad and stop reinventing the wheel please. This current music player is too limited. I would be happy to give advice as to how to improve it.
Thank you.

Mediocrity represents your opinion, which will get its due weight. As for apps that cost $, well ..... professionals would actually expect to have to pay for their tools. Why we even have all sorts of tax laws set up which will encourange you to do just that.

  • Very slow music player on iPad

    Very very slow iPad music player on iPad? I see loads of questions on this but no answers. Have switched off music match and really anything that could be causing the delay. Currently trying to reset the iPad device but if there are any quick answers out there, please let me know. Have a very large music collection but willing to only use subset on iPad if required (anything to get the performance back to normal). Thanks.....

  • Lyrics for music player on Ipad

    Why don't you enable lyrics on music player.I just ask someone that did IOS why you cut lyrics from IPAD IOS.It should have or must have.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. If you would like lyrics in the Music app then you can try leaving feedback for Apple via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Off Topic - Web music player that will work on an iPad / iWeb

    After a bunch of other googling I figure someone on this forum would know the answer.
    I'm looking for a way to embed a playlist into a iWeb page so it will play on the iPad/iPhone browser. Certainly I'm not the only person who wants to do this --- but I haven't had any luck figuring it out.
    Helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  • (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.

  • Having problems with my music player on my iPad with the new io7

    Downloaded the new io7 on my iPad mini. Now I have problems with the music player not letting me download songs onto my iPad, then closing out the app. Then on iTunes it shows up in the downloads tab and comes up as an error and still won't download. At this point I'd rather have the old io6. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

    Did you install the latest driver set for the device?  there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

  • I installed an airport express, on my mac book i can use the airplay using iTunes, but on my iPhone en ipad the icon for airplay not appears on the screan when i start the music player.

    I installed an airport express, on my mac book i can use the airplay using iTunes, but on my iPhone en ipad the icon for airplay not appears on the screan when i start the music player.

    Chances are, you have already tried this and already know the answer.
    But, if not....sorry, but no......since your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you must use the extra software workaround in the Mac.
    A newer AirPrint printer would allow you to do what you want.

  • I have 2 same songs on my Music iPad player, one cannot be removed from music player

    I removed all the songs on my I pad. All songs have be removed except one song that remains on themusic player (the one witch was in double before removing all the songs).
    How can I remove this song from my Ipad ?
    I thank you in advance.

    Hello there PomPomme.
    The iPad user's manual is a great resource for you on that step.
    iPad Userss's Manual
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Specifically if you navigate to page 80, under "Playlists" (but applies to any music on your iPad):
    Delete a song from iPad: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPad, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Ipad Mini Music Player!

    I just got my ipad mini. Everything works fine except the music player. When I add music files to the library, it is stuck and freezing. In the end, I still can play but it loads years to do so.
    I already try to reset my Ipad mini two times but still didn't work out. How can I solve this problem?
    Thank you,
    Titorith

    Close the Music app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
    2. Hold the Music app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

  • Looking for a music player app for the ipad

    Musician looking for music player app to play my sound library
    Folders, set lists......ect.....
    Must be able to automatically pause between songs, not like iTunes where you have to manually pause
    I have to time to manually pause between tracks since i use this for my live performances.
    All thoughts and advice welcome
    Doc

    Try making a 5 second blank .mp3 file or however long you need your pause to be between songs, then create a playlist and insert the blank .mp3 between each song. Just a thought to help save some money.  I believe the DJay app allows this though, but you might want to ask the developer on their website before purchasing just to verify.
    Good luck,

    Any ideas?
    Only this app is doing it.

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • IOS Music Player MP3 Gapless Playback Problem

    Hi,
    I've been having this gapless playback issue on iOS now for the past few years, since at least iOS 6 if I can remember correctly. The number one reason I use an iPhone and iOS devices is for gapless playback in the iOS music player. For the last few years I've  been experiencing a bug with the stock iOS music player on my iPhone 4S using iOS 6 and on my iPhone 5 using iOS 6 & 7, and currently on my new iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. This only happens on my iPhones and using iOS, this bug is not found when I use my iPod classic or when playing the same albums through iTunes.
    I thought it might have been spotted by other iOS users and fixed in iOS 7.1 or at least the current version of iOS 8, but instead it's gotten worse, albums that used to play smoothly between transitions now suddenly pause and jump for a split second when changing from track to track.
    What's happening is, I listen to a lot of albums that are continuously DJ mixed and play straight through without any pauses between tracks, and I've been experiencing problems a lot now with random split second pauses between tracks and choppy transitions. These albums in question have been ripped from cd using the latest versions of iTunes.
    For example,
    I'd be listening to an album and it would play gapless and smooth for most of the album, but maybe one or two transitions on the album would have a split second pause between them, and the rest of the album would play perfectly with no pauses, skips or jumps at all.
    This only happens on my iPhone, as I have a 160gb iPod classic and I've listened to all the same albums on it and never has a problem playing the album without any pauses, every album plays 100% smooth and gapless on it.
    I mailed Apple about it through their feedback page on their site... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Hoping that they would take note of this and try and look into it and fix the issue. That was probably about a year ago now, never got fixed or got any confirmation back from them about this problem. Then last August, I'd had enough and contacted Apple support to notify them about this issue. They told me the usual story, "have you tried restoring the phone?", which I obliged and did. The problem was there on a freshly restored iPhone 5.
    So they told me that they would put me in touch with someone higher in Apple to take the case further, "great" I thought.
    I spoke with a senior care advisor and explained the problem and agreed to send detailed explanations of the issue and test files too so that they could hopefully hear what I was talking about. But after a few weeks of going back and forward, I finally got them to hear the issue with the random pauses, the first week they denied there was a problem and said the files played ok on their test iOS devices, so I myself tried the files on another iOS device and the same problem was there.
    The last correspondence I had with the Apple care advisor was back in the end of August / start of  September, and she told me that they spotted the issue and was told by the tech's that it would be fixed in a future update, I never got a when this would happen, I was just told to make sure my iOS device was up to date with the latest version of iOS. I couldn't speak to an actual technician, got no follow up support, just a vague "We'll look into it." Case Closed.
    I got so sick of this problem that I sold my iPhone and iPad just after this last phone call with the Apple people, and switched over to Android. I'd being reading up on gapless playback music players and found out that there's a good few available for Android devices. I got myself a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, twice as powerful as the iPhone 6 and half the price. I was using that for the last few months, and playing my music through Neutron Music Player app which is a great music player which plays gapless 100%
    But I couldn't really take to Android OS, seeing as I've been using Apple products for around 10 years now and iOS since the iPhone 3G. So I decided to contact Apple again and see if they'd fixed the music player issue in iOS yet.
    I wrote a long email explaining the problem, how it wasn't really looked at properly, and how I was a long time Apple customer and had to resort to switching over to Android because the basic music player functions on iOS devices have bugs. I took a chance in mailing this to Tim Cook's offices, I knew he wouldn't reply personally, just thought that it might get read by someone in his offices with a bit more say in the matter.
    Just before Xmas, I got a call from someone from executive relations from my local Apple offices about this. He seemed nice and was aware of the problem from reading back through my emails and previous case notes from August when I opened this case originally.
    We had a talk and he said he would get one of the tech's to call me too about this so that I could explain the bugs to someone more knowledgeable about iOS.
    A few days later I received a call from one of the tech's at Apple and was chatting to him, explaining the problem. His response was that he thinks Apple doesn't support gapless playback on current iOS devices. From looking at the gapless playback information page on the Apple support site below, it looks like it hasn't been updated to show any iPhone models after the iPhone 3GS... http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201644
    I was trying to explain to him how ridiculous this sounded, why would Apple stop supporting basic functions on their music player on iOS devices? It makes no sense at all? You can see that the amount of hardware devices and software that supports gapless playback today... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback#Player_support
    He couldn't explain either, he just said that because it's not listed there on the Apple support page.
    Then the next day I got the follow up call from the Apple executive relations guy, he was stating that he was speaking to the tech guy that called me and it looks like Apple doesn't support gapless playback anymore, from looking at the documentation on site.
    I told him how stupid this was, and how lots of music players have gapless playback as standard today. And if they don't support it now, then why does it play through some parts of the albums on iOS ok and then just randomly pause, or have jumpy / choppy transitions on the rest of the album. If it was the case, no albums would play gaplessly at all, it would be like when the first ever iPod's were released back in the day with no gapless playback and would pause for a split second between every transition.
    He couldn't give me an answer and said that maybe down the line they would start supporting it again, and that I should request the feature to be added to future iOS versions via the iPhone feedback page... https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    He just kept on emphasising that it was "NOT A BUG OR ISSUE", trying to cover up the problem because the info on the site wasn't updated to show the current iOS devices. Which in itself is wrong, looking at the page it says "Supported iPod and iPhone models (make sure you have the latest iPod or iPhone software)"
    iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS only go up to iOS 6, so that contradicts itself when the latest version is iOS 8.
    The info is out of date and needs to be updated. So in August I was told, "we found the issue and will look into it" and a few months later, "it's not an issue", what's a cop out.
    I was annoyed and taken back by this response, and really found it hard to believe that this was the case, Apple stopping supporting their music player on iOS devices. Seeing as iTunes plays everything smoothly and no gapless issues. I just went out and bought an iPhone 6 for €900 / $1060, and for that money you'd expect it's basic music player to work. It's total BS to think that a top computer software / hardware company would just decide to abandon basic functions in their devices, especially when we are talking about how much Apple takes pride in their products and how much more they charge for them over their competitors.
    So this is my next step to try and get this problem seen and out in the open more. The more people who know about it and are aware of the issue, the better.
    Hopefully more people can get the word around and get this noticed by Apple and finally fixed.
    I've uploaded some test files below to show the problem. The files are mp3's and aac, and have been ripped from cd using the latest version of iTunes. The mp3's are the ones with the issue, but the aac play with no problem. If you listen to the transition at the end of track 2 (2-02 Colours (JH Re-Edit)) going into the start of track 3 (2-03 Your Body), you will notice the split second pause / jump. But listen to the aac version and compare it to the mp3 version and you will hear that it plays back fine, just as it's supposed to. Try them in iTunes too and both versions playback fine, no jumps or pauses.
    You can download them here, all links have the same files, I just uploaded them to different hosts for other people's choosing...

    https://www.sendspace.com/file/lubcmc
    More files can be provided if needed to show the problem happening on various other albums.
    I really hope that people can spot this issue too and help get this fixed, I know this gapless playback feature might not be important to some people, but like I said at the start, it's an essential function for me in a music player and I use it on a daily basis when I listen to music.
    Thanks for reading this long rant of mine, appreciate it.
    Ger

    I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
    I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

  • How do I only see the music on my iPad?

    So far the only way I can see only the music on my iPad is to go into setting and under music deselect 'see all music'.   Wouldn't this button be better in the music player itself to quickly see what is in the cloud and what is on the iPad? Or maybe a different playlist option?

    You're correct. There should be a more effective way to hide the music in the cloud. You can submit your feedback at this page <http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html>.

  • 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).
