Music/online Apps (sirius/iHeart) quit @ 3 minutes

[mfoster]

Whether playing songs from albums or using iHeart or SiriusXM they all exit after 3 minutes of playing time. Is there some sort of cache limit or a setting that needs to be changed in order for a music track to play the whole way through or keep iHeart or SiriusXM from quitting after 3 minutes?

Most likely a limit untill you pay, I've seen other 'free" music apps do the same.

I remember having an issue like this as well. Check your Task Manager and make sure you dont have any apps listed in the Auto Kill section. I had a bunch of apps in there myself and one of them was linked to my music player and it prevented me from listening to more than 1 song.

It could also be a limit of the free players as well. But it is worth checking out the Task Manager just in case you have something in there that might be associated with the apps in question.

I found iheart and siriusxm in the list and removed them. Is there any way of finding out what apps are linked to the music player?

Not as far as I know. I would leave Media Share off that list as well. I think that might have something to do with it.
