Don’t buy Samsung. Don’t buy any Samsung product. They are all poor whether they are high end or midrange devices. Their customer service is extremely and surprisingly poor.
This is my story with the S5. The phone that I chose over the Sony Z2 just because I used to love Samsung:
1- The phone was randomly rebooting every week or two since day one. It doesn’t depend on the weight of usage. When I got sure it was a hardware problem, 3 weeks had passed since I bought the phone and the customer service refused to replace the device and I had to learn to live with the problem :-(
2- After 8 months of usage only complaining of the random restarts and the improper closure of the battery cover, I had to return the device to the customer service when I had some constant dead pixels in the camera sensor.
3- They replaced the camera, thank God. And they said they had fixed the battery cover and they didn’t notice any restarts. They said they replaced the screen, the thing that surprised me as they didn’t inform me before they replace it and the original screen was just fine. Anyway, I noticed that the camera glass cover was dirty from inside, so I had to leave it for one extra day to get it cleaned.
4- I went to receive the phone the next day. I was extremely unhappy when I saw some ink smudges on the battery cover and some scratches around the metal frame cornering the camera glass. I took it home, extremely unhappy with the service, but didn’t want to return the device to them and live that misery again.
5- When I used the phone at night, I noticed leakage of light from the lower right corner of the screen and the screen itself was so far from being clear, completely different than the original one. The camera glass wasn’t fixed well, I could remove it with my finger. There were still a gap between the frame and the battery cover, although they said they had fixed it. All these beside they could do nothing with the random restarts.
6- I felt I got enough of that. I had to return to Samsung and told them I wanted a new device as they don’t know how to fix mine. Keep in mind the S5 has IP67 protection and the light leakage and improper seal of the camera cover and battery cover are factors that make it far from being water and dust resistant.
7- Samsung refused to replace the phone for me and they said my device is working fine and properly fixed and I have to come and take it if I want. How rude!
my contact mail is marcos.boles@live.com for any clarifications

Go to settings > look for the music app > Clear cache and data.
This should sort out any issues with apps crashing, if not, do the cleaning procedure and uninstall and reinstall the app.

Else you might have some conflict somewhere on your phone, being among your files or you need at the very last some reset factory to isolate your problem.
