[cryosonic]

i was listening to one of my favorite songs that i've had on my phone for a while bu then my phone decided to not support the audio file. it kept playing the song but i couldn't skip to the next or previous song. i fixed it when i restarted my phone but does anyone know WHY that happened/what glitched?

Welcome to the forums!
What device? What app? Songs on the SD card or internal?

I've seen that happen with VLC and an unsupported file format a few times when it first came out. Trying to stream without enough bandwidth (Like 1080P HD over WiFi), or to play files with too high a bit rate for the storage's bandwidth can also cause this. Video from a cheap and slow SDcard will also cause this.

Typically, you go back Home, then /Settings/Apps/ and use the clear cache and force stop functions and your good. upon re-starting the software player, pause/stop ASAP, then switch to folder view or file selection gallery before the system freezes over. In one instance, I had a corrupted file which forced me to un-install my player and reinstall it.
