I could locate the cause, either.

What I can obtain is that a preference (Gapless Playback) is changed, triggering consequence of changing relative status of player, but player is dead(?), resulting in your crash.

I was not using Phonograph Plus

So, what exactly was going on before your crash? Was it playing at that time? If it was stopped or paused, how long is it since last playing (too long may causing service dead)?

---

And has it happened before? How frequent?

Thank you!

Update 1:

Looks like such things happened on your device (as well as some device specific compatibility issues ). 😞

No, as explained I didn't even launched Phonograph Plus once since the last phone boot.
But as many other applications, it still have a service running in the background even when you don't touch the application (To be honest, I despise this on Android and the fact we've no control over it, you end up with on ton of background services running for nothing if you installed various applications).
