MMA stops playing mid-track

I had this happen to me twice today. The lead-in had an unusual occurrence, altho I doubt it's important: I had started MMA playing in the morning by tapping a track in an album where I thought I'd left off, and the album finished during the commute. When I got to work, I checked what I'd played against my last.fm record and realized I'd skipped two songs; so I went into the Now Playing list, selected all the songs but those two, and Delete. MMA immediately started playing the first remaining track (over the tablet speakers). I stopped it.

Then, after work, I got in the car, restarted the play, and then queued up another album. Near the end (maybe at the end, I'm not sure, the song could deliberately cut short), playback suddenly stopped, and... nothing. When I was able to park, I looked at it and discovered that the first song of the second album had apparently progressed by several minutes, but I didn't hear any of that. I had a wi-fi signal, so I sent a log.

Unfortunately, I shared the log to "Memo," a Samsung sticky-note app. It looked like it worked, BUT, now when I open Memo, there are no notes: not the MMA bug info, and not the three or four other notes I had there. (None were important, but it's still annoying; I doubt it's MM's fault they're missing, tho.) SO, I can't give the log number, but that went out at about 6:30PM Pacific.

Then on the way home, I restarted the first song of the second album. It was playing along and suddenly... stopped. When I got a chance to look at it, the progress bar was about in the same position as when I had seen it before (after the minutes of "playing" inaudibly). I did not submit a log for that.

Playback was over the car's bluetooth, if that makes a difference. Build 240.

OK, happened again. Log: PTVQ74718M. Not sure if everything got caught in the log.

Scenario: Playing thru BT in car. Near the end of the last song in the list, I parked; I picked up the tablet, woke it with the power button, unlocked: playback became inaudible (but bar was progressing). Hit Pause, then Play: still inaudible. Tapped the bar a short interval earlier, and playback became audible again.

So, I waited to hear the end of the track; it ended, head unit shows "Paused" because at end of list. Powered off head unit; pressed power button on tablet to put it back asleep, and playback immediately restarted from the beginning of the list.
