Hi guys, I am new to the forum and here to ask if anyone has had a similar problem with their music player app on their Samsung phones.
This problem only started around a year in to me owning the phone. I have had the same 16gb memory card for years and used it in 3 different phones with no problems.
The problem that I am having is playing certain songs through the music player app. Some songs will cause the app and sometimes the phone to crash.
Sometimes it can go through an entire 8 hour work shift without it doing it and others it can do it a handful of times in the same time frame. It seems to happen at completely random times. To add to my annoyance, the issue can cause my playlists to be deleted by the phone so that I have to create them again. I have noticed the phone try to resolve itself in a number of different ways.
The first way I have noticed that the song will stop and nothing on the app will work i.e. forward, previous, pause/play. If I press and hold the main button on the phone it allows me to go in to task manager where it says the music player app is using 30mb of ram and 5% CPU! This causes the app to completely crash for up to 3 or 4 minutes until I am able to use it again.
The second thing I have noticed is that when it plays a faulty song, the song stops, but after a couple of seconds starts playing again from where it stopped. It does this three times and then automatically skips to the next song, after this everything is fine and works as normal.
A third way is sometimes when I open the music player app I notice the album artwork takes ages to appear on to the screen, if I try and open an album whose artwork hasn
