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

This happened to me once, then without restoring or resetting it worked fine. Safari kept working ok, but when I switched to the iPod app, it had "reset", so it's probably what actually "crashed" with this bug.

It is a difficult one to pinpoint, but it does happen. The good thing is iTunes sends crash info, I ask that everyone allows it to do this, it's what Apple most needs right now, to know which are the top issues and be able to fix them. Sync often...

cheers, va

me too: Listening to music and then browsing frequently, though not always causes the iPhone to stop playing music.

Will occasionally happen when just listening to music. My gym has Wifi and the audio just dropped out three or four times in a ten minute period earlier this week. My guess is that it's the fault of the Mail program checking for updates over Wifi.

Hard reset (hold down the power key and the home button for about ten seconds, ignore the red swipe icon to turn back on and wait until the silver Apple logo appears) seems to fix it ... until it freezes up again.

Got to be a software glitch.

Hey everyone I called Apple Support today to tell them about this problem and the support guy I talked to had never heard anything of this. In order to get this fixed, we need to bring it to the attention of Apple. So post on here and call in! I think that calling in will get it to who it needs to get to faster, and it doesn't take all that long, so please call!

I experienced this problem as well. It did not happen from the start. The only thing I can think of that triggered it was accidently unplugging it from the computer before hitting eject in itunes. I was not in the middle of a sync, but i still should have hit eject. Maybe this was the cause maybe not, but the problem never happened until 30 seconds after this happened. Powering off seemed to fix the problem (for now).
just my 2 cents.
