Samsung's music player.

 

I *had* my phone set up to start playing music automatically when I'm in the car, via the car's BT. That was all working beautifully, until Samsung "upgraded" their (Who really own the damn music player, if it's on *my* phone?) music player. Now, every time I open my? music player, it asks if I want to "Start" something with Spotify. I really don't care... I don't use Spotify, and have no intention of using it. I assume that this Spotify thing is somehow interefering with my auto-play via Easer thing. 

 

Anyone got recommendations for an Android music player? Simple & straightforward is good... no play lists, favourites, graphic equalisers, web lookups needed. I just want it to play music from my phone (preferably stored on both the phone and SD card... haven't found anything that does this yet) in shuffle mode.

 

If Spotify is installed as bloatware (came with the phone), you should be able to disable it in the App Manager (in the device settings). That may stop the problem from occurring. If not, you could try setting the Samsung Music player app as the default music playing app, which will need a Default App Manager app! I've used this one (link to Google Play Store).
