Help Google Music, song loops

Not sure if this is specific to the bolt or not, but here it goes.

In the Google Music app if I select a song to play in an album that contains multiple songs (not a single) that song will play twice. Every time. What I mean is: say the song is 4:00 long. At 4:00 it doesn't stop, it will play until 8:00. It doesn't do this with the web app, only the mobile app. I haven't tried this on my Xoom yet, I will today though.

Anyone have a workaround or is this just something I'll have to deal with while it's in beta? lol
 
I have not had this issue. The biggest thing thats happened to me is when I set an album/artist/playlist to shuffle repeat, it will play fine, but when you pause it with the widget, there is a small chance that it will forget the rest of the playlist and just repeat that one song you stopped on.
 
Thanks. Hm... maybe reinstalling the app will do the trick. I'll have to try that out later. I haven't used the repeat options yet so I'll keep an eye out for that too.
 
1) I have the same problem.. Really annoying when mowing.

2) Even though I've synced my library and it doesn't change, it still constantly re-downloads songs.

3) Even when I set the library view to "offline only", it still streams songs. If I uncheck the "stream only on wifi" button, then every other song causes the player to stop until I skip ahead to the next correctly-stored-offline song and press play again.

Aggravating to say the least.. I'm usually in awe of how tight Google's code is.. even in beta software.. but this is buggy to say the least.
 
This also happens to me. Same song plays twice... and it happens a lot.

I've reverted back to HTC's music player... while the streaming music is great with Google... it can really screw things up when you lose connections - like going into the subway system. You would think that if that happens, you can just switch over to another music app and listen to other songs... but NO, if Google Music looses connection, you are unable to play music AT ALL... no sound and force closes for all music apps. Once you regain connection, everything is fine.

Plus, with the new tiered data plans coming around (even though I'm unlimited)... you can go over 2 GB easily if it's constantly syncing the music.

Haha, I've been ranting about how everyone is moving to the ground yet wireless carriers decide to give them the shaft by capping users with tiered plans. I stream everyday for about an hour. Haven't gone over 2GB yet... so far.
