The typical implementation of a "hot reboot" does not actually shut down the OS and restart it (see What does Hot Boot mean? for related discussion). In essence, it's killing the UI and other foreground processes, then restarting the UI components, making it somewhat analogous to restarting the X server on a *nix machine.
The music player spawns a ...

Seeing a file name like Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Christina St眉rmer\Freier Fall\1 Geh nicht wenn du kommst.mp3 points to a special problem with "special characters" (such as German Umlauts) which got messed up on data transfer: While Windoze uses its own character set (MS-ANSI or wone of the WIN-12xx, depending on configuration), Android ...

I would try out Google Music. It will be the most native with your device, and gets relatively close to syncing, in theory.
The first thing you will have to do is go to the Google Music Homepage and download the Music Manager tool. Once downloaded, you tell the Music Manager where your music is on your computer, and it uploads it all to the cloud!
This ...

This is the method I use for finding important apps which have to fit certain requirements:
Make a list of all the features you want.
Have some music in the standard music folder which the standard music app uses. Don't have too much music as it may take a new app a long time to read it all.
Find an article which compares popular music players like "10 ...

In the stock ROM the Nexus 4 default music player should be "Play Music" with an icon that looks like yellow headphones, never heard of Apollo but it's possible this is something your custom ROM's changed.
Most music players on Android get their "media library" from the built-in media scanner service, this should pick up MP3 files stored in any ...

I found my solution. This feature is provided in Go Locker.
It's so great, and works with Google Music as well! Very customizable and there are zillion of themes out there.
And most important, it's free.
I'm sure you now think I'm affiliated with them, the truth is yes, I use their products and I'm addicted to them, that's it!

I had the same problem, deleting the cache of the player I am using, Winamp for Android, did not help as it apparently retrieves the list of media files from the OS.
I solved by deleting (actually renaming) the Android Media Scanner external database:
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
mv external.db external.db.off
reboot
After the ...

Its most likely a VBR mp3. as a DJ we have seen this a lot, The VBR is never detected correctly as the length of the playback is not proportional to the length of the file.
With DJ software we have to prescan the files to determine their real length, obviously your application is only expecting FBR files and not VBR.
You could put it through something like ...

What's really the purpose of the Virtualizer?
I am unable to understand why you've asked this. Virtualizers make music cool. Using it, users can tweak music listening experience. It enables you to experience live concert in a car, for example.
The difference from 1% to 100% is also noticeable but it's not even
close to the difference when the ...

Couple of different ways:
Since you're specifically talking about Linux, you can download Remote Audio from Google Play. It's free, and connects to your Linux computer using SSH, then listens to your soundcard via its dev/dsp mount.
Download a "Remote Desktop" app. There are several, most are paid apps, and they each target a particular remote admin ...

If you use a headset when listening to your music, and that headset has a button (usually for accepting incoming calls), you might want to take a look at the many headset controller apps at Google Play. They allow you to play/pause with a short single press, skip forward/backward with double/triple click, adjust volume with holding the button, and much more.

Couple options :
Use the swap file feature of your RAM Manager. That'll give you more (up to 256MB more) memory to play with and might be enough to stave off the music player kill.
Toss the RAM Manager and use something (Like MinFreeManager or manually edit the values in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree1) that will let you manually specify ...

Very unlikely. That's the MediaScanner's responsibility. For faster access it scans all directories on given events (e.g. SDCard mounted, boot_completed) and stores the results in a database, where most players pick it up from.
So you can either use a tool like e.g. SDrescan to trigger the MediaPlayer's scan whenever you've manipulated files -- or find ...

You find a possible solution in many posts around here -- if you know what to look for, that is...
Responsible for files turning up in the gallery etc. is the media-scanner, so you have to keep that one from processing the directories you want to ommit. The usual approach for this is placing a file named .nomedia (note the starting dot) into all directories ...

There is. All that has to be done is having the Media Scanner run and update the index. Turning the device off and on again triggers this, but (as you said) is not a very convenient way. Unmounting/mounting the SD card would trigger it as well (and can be done via Settings→Storage) -- already a little better, but still not very user-friendly.

In the description of PlayerPro in Google Play this was mentioned:
STEREO WIDENING effect (virtualizer)
and a quick search on Wikipedia about what Stereo Widening is:
Stereo widening
Widening of the stereo image can be achieved by manipulating the
relationship of the center signal M and the side signal S: M = (L +
R)/2; S = (L - R)/2. A ...

Most probably it looks like a OS issue, might be firmware related, might be kernel related. Have you tried a factory reset? Or sometimes even a reboot might clear things up. If 4.1 is not working well for you, you can always downgrade by flashing an older firmware via ODIN. Get you firmwares from http://samfirmware.com. You will need to register in order to ...

Sounds more like a bad connector problem.
Try cleaning the headphone plug using a rough-ish cloth to clean up the (probably unseen) oxidation layer.
Spray the plug using a contact cleaner, then while it's not yet dried, plug it into the jack and do some left-and-right rotation. Unplug, and let the plug dry. Then replug, and do the rotations again.

If you want to use Google Music you will need to upload your iTunes M4P music to Google Music.
However, Google Music only supports .mp3, .m4a, .wma, .flac and .ogg files. And DRM-ed M4P music is not supported. In order to upload M4P to Google Music, you need do a conversion first.
Since iTunes M4P music are protected by Apple's DRM, you cannot use a common ...

I'm a huge fan of iSyncr. It syncs to iTunes, so if you're coming from an iPhone you can use the playlists you already created. What sealed the deal for me was the fact that iSyncr syncs play counts and ratings back to iTunes. Not to mention the fact that you can sync over wi-fi or sync via USB cable.
EDIT: I see you're asking about syncing without iTunes, ...

MortPlayer allows you to specify folders that should be read/ignored.
Note however, that if you use the default player, it will still scan and display the tracks. You might also consider adding the files into a playlist and then playing only that playlist, if you don't want other songs/files to be included.

You can place .m3u files anywhere on sdcard which is under reach of media scanner. Playlist will be displayed in music player once media scanner will complete scanning sdcard.
Path of system-created playlists (playlists are common to all music players): /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external-xxxxxxx.db where xxxxxxxx are random numbers. ...

Missed the the same thing when I switched from IOS to Android.
Don't know if this solves all of your issues, but supports generic controls (notification, widgets, etc) for most media applications.
