ANDROID's biggest problem!!! GOOGLE IGNORES!!!

[cerebrix]

this reminds me how it automatically plays music if it connects to bluetooth stereo. i pretty much dont keep music on my phone because its too much of an ass when i mean to hop in the car, and listen to internet radio and i have to fight the mp3 player to keep it from playing the mp3's i have on my card.

Exactly!!!

This happens on both wired and bluetooth if you disconnect the headset before stopping the music player. It tries to start where it left off. I have never had it happen if I stopped the music player before disconnecting.

I have. It's not so much the disconnect as the reconnect. I always pause before I disconnect and play after I reconnect. It still messes up.

...and it wouldn't matter, anyway. A phone this sophisticated should be able to handle it.

This used to happen to me as well, and I think the perpetrator is the headphone jack.

I plug my Droid into my car stereo while driving.

One morning I was using my music streaming program to calmly listen to an audio book on the way to the office, when suddenly the stock music player started thumping out one of the dance tracks stored on my SD card.

The upside to that indecent is that I didn't need to buy coffee that morning.

I ended up uninstalling the stock music player and it hasn't happened again.

Yeah, getting rid of the stock music player worked for me too. I'm inclined to believe that it's a problem with the jack though.

I have this problem also, happens almost every time I plug headphones in.
My workaround is to install 'autostarts' from the market (need root), open the app and find and select 'Media button pressed'.
It will list all the applications that have registered for that callback; on my phone it is Pandora, Music, and Mixzing.
Select 'Music Player' and then select 'Disable'.
DONE

You can uninstall the stock player? How do you do that???

I WAS in this boat. stock music player just up and decided to turn itself on. I use a bluetooth headset but the music player was doing this even if I had bluetooth turned off and the headset was 40 miles away at home. I'd kill it from the settings>applications>running services menu only to have it start again 2-10 minutes alter. Over and over. Battery pull fixed it, for about a day. To answer a thought earlier, the song started at the beginning every time so it was not finding bluetooth and trying to pick up where it left off.

It's not the headphones, it's not the phone! It's the stock music app!!!! How can I be so sure? Because I removed it and the music app I use now has never (before or after) done this.

To remove the stock music player (if you feel so inclined to do so). Number 1 you have to be rooted. So if you are not rooted, sorry. The easiest way is to go to the system/app folder and find the music player. Rename it from and .apk file to a .bak file (.bak for backup. That way you know what it is and where it is if you ever need it again) Reboot the phone and it's a gonner.

I used the uninstall feature in Titanium Backup.

(My Droid is rooted.)

I really need to play with that app more.

this is a milestone/D1 problem. if you search the forums youll find that it is rather common. the problem that i and others have noticed is that it completely depends on the headphones being used. the ACTUAL issue is apparently with the device hardware (so obviously no OS update will help), but it can be avoided by finding the right headphones. in my experience, my pana buds make it freak out, my pio headphones and 3.5mm-->cassette do not.

What does it mean to be rooted?

I heard about this problem awhile ago though the only phone that I heard it affected was the milestone when it hit 2.1 seems more like a motorola issue than google
