[WP 8.1 CX/C++] Pause system music

Hi, Is there any API to pause system music when i want to play sound from my app?

Hi flism,
>>Is there any API to pause system music when i want to play sound
As far as I know, there is no official API to pause system music.
In my experience, if we use
MediaElement to play sound, the system music will be muted automatically.

Best way to integrate system Music & Movies folders with iTunes' default folder structure?

I understand that OSX has system folders that can't be moved (Music, Movies, Documents, etc.). These folders are the only ones that get their specialized icons in the sidebar. I like those icons as they make choosing the right folder easier (even though I can read).
MUSIC:
Isn't there something very un-elegant to have my actual music files buried 4 layers deep in OSX's folder structure? By that I mean, I'd like to click on my (system) Music folder and see my music. But OSX and iTunes have schemed to make users have to deal with Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. It's weird, right?
I am aware that the iTunes library location can be altered via Advanced Prefs, but I like having Music, Podcasts, Movies, etc. be on the same folder level, if that makes sense. If I point iTunes to my (system) Music folder, then my other media will be down below in the iTunes Media folder.
MOVIES:
Likewise, if I let iTunes manage my files, movies go to the Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies folder. I don't let iTunes copy everything into the Media folder (as I don't want to eat HD space with duplicates), but that's still where it wants movies to go when it organizes. Similar to the Music folder issue above, how can I make use of my (system) Movies folder given this setup?
I know that I can just remove whatever folders I want from the sidebar and put in the ones that iTunes uses, but then I lose out on the icons and I end up having permanent folders in my Home folder that don't even get directly used for the media files they're supposed to hold.
Thoughts?

first of all, to get rid of the duplicates, you tell iTunes to consolidate Library.
I think you may be missing the idea of what iTunes does for you. If you have content, like music, that you want to find the file of, you right click the name of the file in itunes and then "show in finder" . For things like iChat, you can simply drag and drop your music into the chat window from itunes, just like it was finder. iTunes organizes your media for you so you don't have to go looking for it.
The same thing goes with videos.
There is no reason to have two of the same files on your computer. Think of iTunes like finder, only it plays media too.
Not everyone uses itunes. Things like quicktime player, after you do a recording, will save the content into your videos folder. They're not on itunes but it uses your video folder to save the recordings. This is just one example of how your video sidebar icon folder will still be useful.
Delete the backups you have of your media unless they're in a format the itunes doesn't support, like lossess formats such as Flac, because it is pointless and wasteful to have two of the same files for music and video on your computer.

IPod Screen Randomly Blacks Out, Pauses/Resumes Music

The short of it:
My iPod (80 GB, 5th generation) randomly pauses and resumes playing music; screen also randomly goes completely black (not dimmed, but black) though iPod still appears fully operational (can still hear the digital "clicking/turning" sound of the wheel if I scroll).
The details:
A few weeks ago I did something I very frequently do - plugged in my iPod to my PC, synced it up via iTunes, and ejected it from iTunes. Only thing the least bit different was that this was the first time for me to hook my iPod up to iTunes since adding an iPhone to my collection and having synced that iPhone up via iTunes. Not sure that would matter, but just some additional info.
I then proceeded on a several week long vacation. I pulled out my iPod, hooked it up via the AUX jack in my car to the car's audio system, and immediately noticed problems. Songs would just randomly pause and then resume play. I confirmed this wasn't an issue with the earphone jack (since I know the iPod was designed to pause music when the earphones come unplugged). I looked at the device itself and began noticing that the screen was randomly blacking out though the iPod was clearly still "working" - this was happening whether I was invoking the wheel on the iPod or just holding the device.
Since I was on vacation, with hope of easily getting this resolved, I stopped by an Apple store. A tech there did a Restore of the device via iTunes through their Mac setups, and that made no difference. The Apple tech said my hard drive had gone bad, though I'm not sure I completely believe that. (I've heard stories before of people being given that diagnosis when really that wasn't the case.) I'm willing to replace the hard drive myself, but I don't want to go through all that just to find out that's not really the problem.
I got home, hooked the iPod back up to my PC via iTunes. iTunes immediately recognized that the iPod was previous formatted by a Mac and so proceeded with doing a format/restore for the PC. Still, problems persist with iPod.
I've run the automatic diagnostics on it (M25 Diagnostic 0.7) and it completed with no errors, green screen.
I didn't drop it, damage it, nothing. It's in practically new condition. Apple tech said that something people with the iPods that operate on hard drive storage (as opposed to memory storage) more frequently experience are problems with the hard drive because they wear the iPod when they exercise, and those hard drives don't take the rigorous running movement well at all. Not the case with me. Most "exercise" my iPod's gotten is a leisurely walk. Its usage (in order of frequency): flat beside me as I listen to music; hooked up via the AUX jack to my car's audio system as it sits in a cup holder; hooked into an external speaker via USB out.
Any help you all can offer to confirm the problem or resolve it would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to fix it on my own (assuming repairs are not cost prohibitive), but just want to be sure I'm not wasting money buying the wrong parts or trying to fix something that simply can't be fixed.
Thanks gurus!!!

Someone? Anyone? Help, please...

Need to pause Background music during .flv playback

Hello,
I have a project that has 2 .flv videos, and I need to pause the background music while the user is playing those videos- is there an advanced action that would let me do this? Any other ideas?
Thanks!

No worries.
I looked through the Cp4/5 system variables and I didn't see a way to manually set the background audio to 0%.
I don't know what else is going on in your slide so this may or may not give the effect you want, but can you mute the background audio in the slide properties and add the narration audio to an invisible object on the slide?

Why is my iPhone 5 pausing my music randomly when i move my iPhone in hand?

I have had my iPhone 5 since right before Christmas of 2013. No problems at all, until now. There recently was a new update for iOS 7.1.1 and I did update it. I had pre-order a song a few days before I updated it and when it was avaliable i downloaded it onto the newest update. When I tried to listen to the song with my head phones it paused randomly. Not only did it pause, it fast forwarded but itself and shuffled the order of my songs as well. Also Siri popped out without me pressing my home button. I have turned Siri off and it still paused and fast forwarded, but no Siri. (obviously) I even turned off the shake to shuffle in music in the setting app. It still paused, shuffled, and fast forwarded. It even did this with my iTunes radio. How do I get this to stop and just play my songs?

I feel dumb....I changed out my headphones and my phone isn't acting possessed anymore. My headphone were pretty sad so I think there was a short. Since it also had a microphone it was picking up sound thinking I was talking. It also had a volume control and ability to skip songs and I think that is why it was fast forwarding.

Itunes 9.2 consistently pauses the music when playing from Ipod Touch

I couldn't find this posted anywhere else so ever since updating itunes and my ipod touch I've been having a problem when playing music on my computer from ipod. About 5-10 times during the song itunes will pause the song and my ipod will say "Syncing in progress". It gets really annoying and hasn't happen before the update. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

You should get your songs into iTunes and then immediately back them up.
To get the songs off your iPod and into iTunes, see this post from Zevoneer > http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11857456&#11857456

Pauses in music after 1 minute

Hello,
I am having all kinds of problems with my APX and computer. I have done alot of searching and have not been able to find an answer. When listening to music through itunes I will get a pause in the music every minute; literally every minute without fail. I have looked at my wireless networks as referred to this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108063. My network is the only one visible. I have also tried all the settings in the admin utility.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Do you have the most recent firmware installed on the AE?

Frequent pauses in music-stream

I have a Time capsule which I have put my music on. When I my the music on my MacBook there is no problem but when I try to play my music through AirTunes to my Airport Express the music makes frequent pauses. I have set the size of the streaming-buffer to large but it does not help.

The issue could just be the bandwidth of your network or the ability of the computer to handle 2 streams of wireless data.
Basically you will have data streaming wirelessley to the computer from the Time Capsule and then from the computer to the Airport Express, all this via iTunes. It may be that the computer is struggling to manage the two data streams.

Extended Pause in Music When Switching Songs (iTunes 8.1)

I'm currently on my work PC and am trying to play music from my iPod via iTunes 8.1. Most of the time I'll be listening to music fine, tracks play flawlessly, no problems. Then randomly, when a song finishes up and is switching to the next song, iTunes locks up for about 10-15 seconds. Music stops playing, my taskbar is frozen and the only way to switch applications is to use Alt+Tab.
I'm running the Last.fm scrobbler along side of iTunes, so I wonder if there may be a problem with that. I'll try disabling Last.fm and play some music and see what happens. A status update on this will be posted in about an hour or so. If it is Last.fm, any ideas what caused iTunes 8.1 to break the connection with Last.fm? Fixable?
Thanks for any help that is provided
*Edit: Okay, so just after posting this I exited the Last.fm scrobbler application and just started clicking the Next button in iTunes. After about 15 songs, iTunes locked up again. I'd also like to note that I have Shuffle and Repeat Playlist enabled. I am also playing my entire iPod library, not a specific playlist.
If more details are needed, let me know.

Hi..
I´m having the same problem with itunes 8.1. I don't have any add ons, scripts, just plain Itunes, with music (mp3) and I´m on a Imac. Tried several things, like re-building my library, checking my mp3, etc...
The only solution I found was downgrade to 8.0.2 again, now everythig works great, no lags, no frozen itunes.
At my house I also have windows pc, with itunes 8.1 the pc's work OK!!! Same library, etc... I´m having problems with the MAC!!!

When I try to pause my music on the lock screen it does not pause. I also can not skip on to the next song. Is there a way t change this?

It even does this when I pull up that multitasking tool, it doesn't pause there either.

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.

2 sec pause where music and photo pause in slideshow everytime!!!

Why is it doing this? This happens only on burned dvd not before. I have reloaded it. Started over everything I can think of. The show contains 175
photos and 5 songs, 25 min long
HELP

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's occurring at the 100th slide, isn't it? There's a 99 slide limit in the DVD international standard but iDVD has gotten around that by starting the numbering over at 1 with the 100th slide. At that point most DVD players will pause for a short period of time. A lot will depend on the quality of the media use and the speed of the burn as to the duration of the pause.
The very knowledgeable iDVD users in this forum strongly recommend Verbatim DVD-R disks. They have a greater concentration of dyes in the layer giving a more reliable burn. Also burning at the slowest speed possible will also help create a more reliable burn disk.

Why is my ipod shuffle pausing my music when the screen times outs?

My Ipod shuffle is pausing whenever the screen times out...please help.

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.
