Music stops playing while browsing web

I've now seen this issue happen twice on my iPhone this morning - I'm listening to an album (Daughtry) and browsing the web (the Motley Fool) at the same time. Suddenly, the iPhone stops playing the music after about 10 minutes - in the middle of a song. I'm not sure if there is a setting somewhere that I'm unaware of, or if this is a bug. Both times seem to have close to when I single tapped on the screen while in Safari - but did not hit a link. Anyone else see anything similar?

Best Regards,

Jeff

I went to a basball game yesterday and filled my 8GB phone with pics, then on the train back was listening to a 1:08:00 techno mix then tried flipping through Safari and got the iPod to quit often. I was also able to get iPod to quit during coverflow and even just flipping through the long legal page and then used a regular song from moulin rouge and it still managed to quit. So I thought it was a problem with lack of space. I sunk my phone, took the pics off, and took off a bunch of unwanted songs. Tried again, and was able to get it to quit again. Tried a long song and a short song, and was able to get the iPod to quit both times, and this is with 1+GB available. Lastly, during the day today, I started getting the phone app to quit when music wasn't playing. I restarted (held down both sleep and home for 10 sec) and got the apple logo boot up, and after that, it's been running smoothly. I was almost ready to take it in because I was able to get it to quit on demand basically. It's good to know I'm not the only one.

Same issue here.

The issue has become more frequent, and I can't even get through a full song while browsing the internet.

EXTREMELY disappointing.

Same thing here. This is the only real complaint I have thus far about the iPhone. If Apple fixes this I would be one happy camper.

A few days later, and this problem has reoccurred. It appears that most other problems have been solved with reset's, but this one persists. I'm hoping for an update soon...

Same problem. Has also happened to me with the Maps app, surfing the web, even checking the weather. Glad to hear I am not alone, and hope to see a firmware fix soon.

This happens to me too, but my iphone freezes. I have to do a hard restart.

This happens when I'm in the email app.

Add me to the long list of people experiencing this problem: Safari and iPod.

😟

Guess I'll still have to carry an independent iPod around for a while.

Totally agree with you Ben Masters... It's very annoying. I could be browsing sites that aren't code heavy and it can crash.
