The noices and lags while playing music is not related to default music player, but to the design of whole system. If you perform some heavy operations, some parts of the system are colapsing... Try to ungzip 100MB file and browse the web while the file is being uncompressed. Impossible. Try to start download of large file via wifi, and play some random game / music. It will be pain in the ***. Temporary workaround would be renice-ing the process of mediaplayer. Start mediaplayer, open terminal, and as root user type Code: ps -ef | grep mediaplayer Two processes should be found (don't ask me why there are 2 of them) First number on line is process ID. Chouse one of mediaplayer processes, and do Code: renice -10 ID_of_process If it's not helpfull, try any lower number (to -19) or renice the second process too Lower the number, higher the priority of the process.
ps -ef | grep mediaplayer
renice -10 ID_of_process
