Two things come to my mind:

1) You are accessing your audio file over network (PC -> X5Max), which the iMusic app is playing.

2) At the same time when audio is continually streamed (PC -> X5Max) you want to additionally send commands (now, X5Max -> PC) to search and select a song via ES File Explorer app while music plays in background. And this implies bi-directional flow of data needs to happen simultaneously. Tough call.

As you say PowerAmp music app have no issues with it, I suggest you change the default music player of X5Max, from iMusic to PowerAmp. Below are the steps:

iManager -> App Manager -> Default app settings -> Default music software -> Select Power Amp.

Hope this works for you. :)

    I access my network music files thru es file explorer and then play it via 'imusic' set as default app when i encounter this issue going to es file explorer to look for another song when it [imusic] stops playing the current song - it does not happen with poweramp but the poweramp cannot be accessed in app context menu when i do "open as audio or video whichever] - the list does not have poweramp appearing , had it been otherwise - imusic 'd not be an issue - poweramp only visible in the app context menu when trying to access 'local' content which poweramp has not been able to fix yet

    any suggestions ?

      Music files should be properly categorized into artists, albums with album arts so that you never need any file explorer. You have the best music player in iMusic. Create playlist in iMusic as you desire and play the songs according to wish.

It has beautiful amooled screen quality and the music sounds extraordinary in ears through headphones. you will not be able to fathom how good audio is until you hear it and yes use 320 kbps mp3. My dad simpliy loves this mobile.

            Anonymous, 15 Oct 2016Is v3 max screen sound as good as x5max.Vivo V3Max is nowhere near Vivo X5Max in terms of sound quality over headphones and display quality. Forget not X5Max was their last flagship while V3Max is their current mid end device with much cheaper audio solution and normal quality LCD display to boast.

                A phone which sound great over INR 20K earphones will also sound better over INR 1K earphones. I have tested with Cowon EK2 available in India at INR 1.2K, they pair well and sound awesome with X5Max.

                    Anonymous, 15 Oct 2016Thanks. Another question. Is the phone has heating issues h... moreFew points to note before buying Vivo X5Max:

                    1) Contains best audio hardware, hence best audio quality over headphones.

                    2) Bright & vibrant display with punchy colors, ideal for movies. Contains one on the best 5.5 inch, FullHD, Samsung Super AMOLED displays you can find. The same Samsung AMOLED display now comes with OnePlus 3. BTW Vivo, Oppo & OnePlus belongs to same owner BBK Electronics of China.

                    3) Flagship grade built quality. You hold it in you hand and you will feel the difference.

                    4) Still the thinnest phone in the world, everybody will notice the thinness instantly.

                    5) Comes with Snapdragon 615 which is a heat king. Fear not X5Max have excellent thermal solution embedded in this phone as its was their flagship phone. With full battery I once played a super heavy game Asphalt 8 until the battery went dry, except for getting heated near the volume rocker area where the Snap 615 is embedded, there were no other issues. X5Max comes with metal chassis and body, hence it absorbs the heat from the chipset and make sit work efficiently. Not a Motorola Moto G4 Plus fiasco here. Heavy games play super smooth with no frame drops for extended periods of time.

                    6) It does NOT comes with inherent support for VoLTE. That said with Relaince Jio SIM you will still be able to surf internet like any other 4G phone, but for VoLTE calls you need to use their Jio app. If VoLTE is must then i recommend Vivo V3Max as I am also using this phone.

                    ----------
                    As an audio enthusiast I have owned all Vivo flagships at one point of time. Be it Vivo XShot, Vivo X5Pro or Vivo X3S the phone which shined above all of them is undoubtedly the Vivo X5Max. No doubt it was their most expensive offering in India at INR 33K launch price.

It is true that x5max have awesome sound, as my audiophile dad even admits it has the bar set above LG v10. The only pity is you do not realize how good x5max is until you have used a good pair of headphones with it. When I had my v3max I thought it had best sound, but when i listened to x5max i found what i was missing. I only hope vivo makes a true successor of this masterpiece.

                                1) You get back full control of the 16 GB internal memory. Before it was 2 GB for apps, now after update 12 GB.
                                2) memory card support of 128 gb as usual
                                3) My dad's X5Max and my vivo v3max have same level of smoothness in UI, and we are very happy with both.
