Sony walkman stalls

[Atmicmu]

Greetings,

On my new xperia Z the sony walkman app has an issue. Roughly once in every song it just stops, app closes. No other issue follows and I can simply restart it. All in all not a disaster but you can imagine it's irritating if you listen to about two hours of music every day.

Thoughts/idea's?

ps, it was updated to the latest firmware yesterday but no solution.

hmmm bad set  of headphones perhaps - to prove that simply play something through the external speaker

I have the same problem since i updated a few days ago. It doesn't matter if the file is on the internal storage or the sd-card. I turned my wifi, stamina, bluetooth off and is still happens.

Sometimes the app 'walkman' totally stops working...and it happens with all files. Mostly after its playing 3 or 4 songs

Help needed because i cant life without my music

If this happened after running the update this implies something went wrong during the update process. I would advise in this case running a repair to reload the firmware:

Sorry for massive thread necromancy but I've also been having this problem recently on my Xperia Z1.
Music app (formerly Walkman) and the google play music app both randomly stop.
Seems to happen most frequently when I'm using the browser, facebook or feed app.

Probably started with update to KitKat a few months ago but was not resolved (in fact made worse) by upgrade to Lillipop.
Reinstallation of the OS did not help.

I'll try deleting and replacing my music collection as a last resort but any other suggestions to try first would be great.
