introduction/Rhapsody

[valpsych2007]

Hi. I am new to this forum. Have had my Motorola Droid for a few months and love it. Having problems, though, with Rhapsody music.

I subscribe to Rhapsody To Go and can download music to other mp3 players and the Droid. Usually it is ok, but sometimes it force closes. I added it to Froyo task killer ignore list and unchecked the box for bluetooth controls in an effort to resolve the problem. When I am listening to a playlist and then open Navigation, usually it's fine at first until I have changed destinations a few times (I'm a cab driver). Then it will either force close or just disappear when I go to the Navigation screen (it seems to multitask ok if if I run Navigation but just use it in the notifications drop-down box). But sometimes it's ok switching back and forth from Navigation. Not just Navigation either but other apps like Jorte calendar. And sometimes when I use voice dialer on Navigation or phone call, Rhapsody plays but is mute until I reset everything.

Seems to be particularly bad if I am using Rhapsody Radio or playlists that I haven't downloaded.

Wondering if there is a conflict with voice dialer, if it's a streaming issue or what and if changing phone settings might resolve it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

welcome to the forum!! glad you found us, and i hope you stick around. tons of info in here, and plenty of people willing to help. jump in, get involved, and join in the fun!

as for your specific question, i am unfamiliar with Rhapsody. but, what i will suggest is that you get rid of ANY task killer you have on your phone. they are unnecessary on Android devices, and actually create problems. if you still have issues after uninstalling your task killer (and rebooting phone), don't hesitate to post back. good luck!

Welcome to the forum. I fully agree with huskerkate, get rid of the task killer. Your phone doesnt need it. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/65483-task-killers-answer-google-developers.html I dont use Rhapsody on my phone, just pc. I use PowerAMP for my downloaded songs and Pandora for a "radio" without problems. But I could see where using the voice dialer while listening to music would cause issues. Especially if your listening to that old song Jenny.

Rhapsody problem

Thanks, Huskerkate and and CJM. I think that worked. When I bought the phone, the authorized Verizon dealer downloaded Froyo task killer, and I assumed it was necessary. Things seem fine without it.

This forum is awesome. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear that Verizon pushed a task killer on you but as you have seen they cause more problems than they are worth. Glad you got rid of it. The rest of your droid experience should be more enjoyable now!!.
