Help Music player skipping songs and no longer supporting audio files

I got my phone second hand about 4 months ago, and it worked great until recently my music players starting acting up, skipping songs and pausing like 5-10 seconds before going on to the next song, but when I woke up this morning, and tried to turn on my work out playlist it went through the better part of my music with a notification that said 'sorry, the player dose not support this type of audio file' this are all songs have been playing up to this point, until it would play one song then do the same thing over again.

When i checked later, out of 200 songs maybe 30 play, all my music is MP3's, this is strange because its only affecting my music, all audio books and fics (also MP3's) i have on the phone all work without a hitch.... Help please!

I've tried taking all the songs off and putting them back on, (individually and seeing if they each worked (no) and as a set)

tried moving all the songs to my download folder with my audio books and fics

tried clearing the cache

put all the music on a SD card and still the same results,80-85% of my music not working:confused::confused:
 
thanks it helped it's playing the songs, but I was really kinda hoping to get the files to work on my other players, since I'll admit I'm kinda lazy and I have all my playlists and stuff set up on the Music app
 
yeah i know what you mean. By any chance you take the update? I ask because someone had a similar problem after installing update and im curious to if its a bug with the new update.
 
Yeah I did, about 3-4 weeks ago I believe, actually I think that's when the problems first started, if I think back.
 
guess that answers my question. So im wondering if the playlists are stored in a file where the apps folder is im assuming in the internal sd. See if you can do the old copy and paste of playlist to the vlc player. maybe you can copy or move to the vlc players folder if the file type is the same it just might recognize it by default
 
also wanted to say that the general rule of thumb is after receiving an update is to do the dreaded factory reset so the new os can start of clean, and get rid of whatever bugs that comes with it
 
I figure i can put the songs i want into a folder since you can go by directories, but i'm just really lazy *le sigh*
