Hey Billy,

Strange place to ask this question indeed :)

These are known issues with Android phones full of default Samsung's bloatware. I'm guessing your phone isn't rooted which would make the solution to your problem a little more difficult. Basically, you're gonna need to install a third-party app to be able to select which player is used and what other actions your phone will take when connected to Bluetooth, such as Bluetooth connect & Play, but there are many other apps that can do the same job.

Mine does this if I'm using spotify, for example, to download and bluetooth music to the sony stereo. If I get out then I when I get in the car next and hit play on the sony head unit, if spotify isn't running on the phone then it doesn't know what to do and plays some samsung welcome tone thing. I'd rather it played nothing.

Options:

a/ rename the file in question. see if stops playing anything or picks another random file.

b/ rename your favourite song to be the same file name

c/ as cbulota said, root your phone then do whatever it takes

You can use a file explorer app to copy/del/rename etc.

Just be careful the misses doesnt catch you rooting your phone

If you do root it then you can install Adaway and not see any ads any more and that's a glorious thing.

Dave what do you mean by. ( root them ) .......all this tech talk is going over my head.

Root = administrator privileges over the phone, so you can install whatever you want rather than being restricted by the phone manufacturer. Based on the phone it is either super easy to do (google's nexus phones) or difficult with a chance of bricking the phone (samsung phones in the past, for example)
