[App help] Google Music keeps stopping on me

Are you streaming,or,listening to downloaded/cached music,or,does it stop all the time on both?

 

Pin some music and see if it stops playing. If not, it's a network problem. I've had something similar happen to me if I'm streaming on my tablet to my audio receiver and forget to check the option to allow wifi to never sleep.

 

I've had similar trouble. I think it may have to do with a network drop, although I haven't been able to prove that. It is quite annoying to have the music stop randomly though.

 

Happens to me, too. Streaming over wi-fi. Unless a fix is forthcoming, or it's user error that I can correct, I'll have to cancel my subscription.

[EDIT: It may or may not be different. You say yours just stops working; mine gives me a popup saying something [see EDIT 2]. I've only been on the Play Music app screen when it happens, so maybe the popup won't appear if you're displaying another app or screen.]

[EDIT 2: Only took me about two minutes of playing the Radio to get the popup:

"Music temporarily unavailable
Couldn't play the stream you requested"]​

 

Can you try to see if you get the same popup by staying on the Google Play screen (I've gotten it on the screen that displays the full-screen album art for the song)?

If so, this thread on the Google Mobile Help Forum tells us that the stopping of music concurrent with that popup occurs mostly on LG phones (though owners of a few other devices [Galaxy S4, Nexus 7, Vizio Co-Star] also reported the problem), and there seems to be no cure yet.
