[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
I'm a big fan on Google music mainly because of the streaming features, and I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, just someone who loves to listen to music. I used to love the style of the app in ICS, but I know many didn't, for understandable reasons.

With the update to JellyBean some of you may have noticed a change in the styling of the app. The orgainization is different, with the recent having large album art (image below), playlists being left of that (which I love, since I mostly go there anyways) and back controls on the now playing bar at the bottom. Also, the now playing screen now has a different layout with a shortcut to the list of songs now playing (while before you wouldn't see this at all). This is actually where the problem is.

Try it out yourself. If you have two different playlists, play one and then play the other. Afterwards when you press the now playing button it should show the current songs from the second playlist now right? Wrong. Now this list shows both playlists in the list and anything else you have played since updating the app (see the second and then third image). To remove them you have to select menu then clear queue.

Say you have a playlist in a particular order that you like, so you don't use shuffle (maybe it's a new album where each song transitions into the next). If you have shuffle currently in the now playing then too bad. The only way to get it to work is to go to now playing, deselect shuffle, and then select the playlist.

On the plus side however, if you do use shuffle, and deselect and reselect it from the now playing tab, then the list will show you the order of the new shuffle and will keep the order of the songs you have already played instead of shuffling everything.

So in my opinion it's some good and some bad. What do you guys think? Have you noticed anything else different?

Still no gapless playback.

I'm very disappointed with the music playback capabilities of Android, even iPods offer gapless playback since ~6 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Yes, but the UI in Music is much better, and I really like the album art previews upon opening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Headcase_Fargone:
I thought this was one of the bullet points for Jelly Bean. That's rather disappointing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Right? I understand if it may not be gapless when you're streaming, but at least it should be for things that are pinned.

I agree that the UI is a bit cleaner and better oriented for the multiple tabs, I just don't like the design of the now playing. It bothers me that when the additional items (shuffle, repeat etc) disappear you now have this progress bar and media buttons that seem cramped together. They still work but it kind of seems like a waste of space. Also the menu button/action bar is consistently at the top now, a feature that everyone complained about in ICS. I think the only app that has menu at the bottom now is Gmail, which has it in two places, neither of which are the top.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
Jelly Bean has a new API that should enable gapless playback, but the Music app doesn't appear to use it so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blempka:
I miss being able to access other songs from the album or artist from the Now Playing screen, but overall like the new ui.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray3andrei:
While streaming to a bluetooh speaker you can now change between phone speaker/headphones and the Bluetooth device without actually turning Bluetooth off and I love that :)

Sent from my Jelly Beaned GNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
I didn't even remember that! It actually came in handy for navigating, whenever I decided I was feeling like listening to more of an artist. Shame. Good point out.

Also a good point. I don't use bluetooth but I can imagine this as a great feature, given that we don't have quick toggles (but let's not get into that topic :)).

It seems to me that Google is getting to that "It just works" period. Love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
I don't like the update.

I liked the way before, when a song is playing, I can tap the screen, it'll "shrink" the cover-art and then I can tap the artist name or album name to view their songs/albums.

Much easier than tapping the little thing on the top right which shows the current playlist.

I like to play all songs in shuffle, but when I hear something I like, I like to tap the artist then quickly play one of their albums, harder to do it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Two more quick things: there now a thumbs up playlist, and there's actual album art for each playlist, made from a combination of the album arts of songs in said playlist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
this is why I use PowerAmp, gapless works fantastically there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
I would rather that the app prompts me to create a playlist than generate one automatically every time I select a single song from an album.

The UI is a bit nicer to look at, but auto-generated playlists are terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Well it's not auto generating playlists. When you select a single song from an album it adds the rest songs in that album to the playlist. If you have shuffle enabled then they're shuffled as well, but if not then it starts the playlist in the position of the song in that album. If you select a song from the songs section then the playlist is all of the songs you have.

But it is still possible though. Just in case anyone doesn't know, you select the playlist tab in the now playing screen, press the more options tab on the song and select more by artist. Like above said, though. It's a bit more effort.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
Does this update display album art at better quality? The one on the Play Store now still pixelates some of my decent quality (400x400) album art. This is one of the main reasons I've stayed away from Google Music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SaharLevi:
Can you finally choose which songs you'd like to "Make available offline" instead of choose the whole album?

And can you can delete specific songs from cache ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
No and no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hexchain:
Apple may sue you LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SaharLevi:
Damn it!

*flipping the table*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thelowend:
I used to use Power Amp so I'm used to it but now I use Google Music exclusively and with 4G on its the closest to gapless than it has ever been.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
I'm just glad that songs are not repeated indefinitely if shuffle is on. Has been haunting me since forever ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
It doesn't mater how close it is to gapless playback. When I listen to an album with tracks that are segued into one another, any gap, no matter how small it may be, kills the mood of the album for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devadvance:
Have they finally made it so every time you open the app, even when stuff is playing, it DOESN'T always go to the Recent tab?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Well here's the problem: a 400x400 image isn't a high enough resolution for the galaxy nexus' screen. Think about it. The album art is expanded to the left and right edges in portrait. So the album art should be a 720x720 resolution image to look good. Many other apps position the album art in different ways (instead of front and center) making the image look better because the album art is smaller. At least that's what I think. All of my album art looks good, but that's because if the album art doesn't look good then I google image search the album and then change the advanced search to do big pictures only. Now albums look great if they didn't already.

(Feel free to prove me wrong if you can find an app that contradicts this statement. I'm honestly just thinking about it, I can't say 100% that's the only solution, but it's worked for me).

Here's how it works (as far as I can tell). If you're playing music and you leave the app and then go back, whether it's from the icon or the notification, then it will go back to the now playing tab unless the app goes out of memory. In other words, if you remove it from the recents tabs (multitask tabs as some call it) by swiping, or if you haven't run the app in a long time and android automatically closes it, then it'll send you to the recents tab. Other then that it (at least seems) like it works fine now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
I've got so many complaints about the Music app. I hate the fact that having my entire collection available online to stream is such a wonderful feature because everything about the UI just sucks. These are some of my long standing complaints about the current app, have any of these things been changed in JB?

* I want to be able to add songs to an ad hoc playlist for using now, but I need to create a new named playlist to do that. The old Music app supported this.

* I want to be able to play several albums from a particular artist, but I can only play one album or all tracks from the artist.

* If I play all tracks from an artist they are in alphabetical order instead of ordered by album and track.

* I want my albums listed by year. Tracks are not listed alphabetically, why would albums be listed this way?

* I don't want my notification bar hidden when the phone is in landscape. This is a music app, not a video app, Why does it need full screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
That's a lot of interesting requests. Um, I'm not sure, unfortunately no, no, why....no, and no. Could I ask why you wan't to sort your albums by year more than maybe once or twice ever (legitimate question. I'm curious). Also, not having the notification bar in landscape is a bit annoying, but I feel like adding it would make it a bit cramped. Maybe if they gave the option in settings that'd appease everyone.

Personally I like most of the UI (with the exception of the now playing screen), but to each his/her own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Because chronological order is the proper order for albums to be in. I can't imagine why you would not want it. You wouldn't list the tracks on the album alphabetically, would you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
I just assumed that it already put them in chronological order, but I guess not. Now that I've noticed that's gonna bother the hell out of me. I guess having both would be useful, though, because alphabetical would allow you to find it faster if you have a lot of albums (but at that point, you might as well search for the album in the album tab rather than the artist tab). Hmm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] standing123:
Display filename instead of song title?

Hi, I have just upgraded my nexus to jellybean.

Got a shock when I open the Music App cos all my songs display the filename in place of the song title.

Is there some settings to change this? It's so not practical to show the filename instead of the song title.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haadkoe:
Agreed, the gap between tracks absolutely ruins the experience of listening to DJ mixed electronic dance music. As a former DJ it's almost infuriating to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
The app has been updated today and is supposed to support gapless playback now: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...ings-gapless-playback-instant-mixes-and-more/

I just tried it with an album that works gaplessly in foobar2000 and on my iPod touch, encoded with Nero AAC, and it failed the test. The Music app still causes an annoying gap between two tracks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshuaLow_:
The music quality through headset is quite bad for the SG2. Is it my custom rom or is it the sound chip of the phone in general which causes this problem? The music played sounds like it's under water :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User X:
Try different software, different files and different headphones - most basic checks. If you still have the problem then it's either your ROM, which can be fixed by re-flashing or switching to a different ROM, or hardware related, which is obviously more serious. But do the basic checks firs, if not done already.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Nope. It's the Yamaha DAC. If you use a decent music app with an EQ & a decent set of headphones/canalphones you can get acceptable sound out of it, but if you're expecting sound as good as say, the SGS, it ain't gonna happen. Samsung had a brain explosion when they failed to use a Wolfson DAC in the SGS2 like they did with the SGS (and like they have with the SGS3; all reviews I've read for it so far say sound is really good).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshuaLow_:
Yeap i'm using the Playerpro app and a pair of UE TF10. No doubt the sound is gonna be good. I also realized a huge difference between the sound of SG2 and Iphone 4:(

I am currently using TW Home and it feels kinda wonky, and with TW Launcher I can't switch the quickicons on the bottom so that's a negative.

I Like Go Launcher and Nova. Go is a little on the heavy side, but has a ton of widget addons and they're all free.

I bought Nova Prime the other day. Takes a little while to get used to the setup process, but the app drawer is the best and most functional I've used to date. Nova is also pretty light on resources. Especially compared to Go and TW.
