recommend a music app for the S6

[CarTimeNow]

so the inbuilt player and amazon music player are so f'ing useless. keep crashing out withing 20 secs of a song starting, unless the wifi is on!!

anyone got an app 0r two they'd recommend? i'd like to listen whilst out and obv this is cramping my ability to do so.

You sure you dont have a problem with your phone? The S6 is a powerful phone and shouldnt crash playing music. 2 Different apps crashing could point towards your phone.
If not, the Google Music app works fine and stores all your music online for free.

Good point, glossed over that!

As said, you can upload all your music to the google cloud then play it on your phone. At least it will fix it if the files are corrupt.

i'd hope its not the phone since i've not had it a month yet.

i dont have a problem with storing it offline, its the listening offline that becomes an issue. have had a google and it seems to be an issue for a number of people and with several different fixes, bah!

What exactly happens?

Does the song just stop playing or does the app/phone crash? < song stops about 15-20 seconds in, especially when the screen is off

How did the music get onto the phone? < copied over when upgraded, smart switch thing

Are you playing music copied to you phone or downloaded from somewhere? <copied

Do you have Amazon Prime? < nope

If so, have you tried downloading from Prime for use offline?

Is there any way that when connected to your network the music is being played from your network and that when disconnected a corrupt local copy is being accessed? <its possible but i'm playing from the offline list so am stumped atm.

i'm at the point of copying it all to google drive, wiping all music off the phone and dl again if i cant sort it any other way!

have checked and its the same whether i use google play, amazon music or the phones own music player, and no matter which song is playing it does the same thing :/

Glad you sorted it but I'd still want to know why it wasn't working on other apps...

me too, looking thro various tech forums it seems it happens a lot but not to everyone, ¯\_(&#12484;)_/¯
