Did a more thorough check last night and this morning with my new Galaxy Note 4 .
In my case, it does not seem to be a MediaMonkey for Android issue, but something specific to Android, the Samsung software or the hardware. Really narrowing it down, aren't I.
For me, there is ALWAYS an audible tick or pop whenever a sound starts or stops playing. This audible tick/pop is present in in the headphone jack AND the built-in speaker. I hear it anytime a sound is played. This even includes adjusting the volume. Pressing the volume up button will result in a tick/pop, then the volume beep, then after about 1 second, another tick/pop. If I continue to press the button within 1 second, I don't hear the tick/pop. But, 1 second after the last press, I hear the tick/pop.
Again, this is audible with the built-in speaker and the headphone jack.
Last night and this morning, the tick/pop was very quiet, but for whatever reason, yesterday morning, it was very loud and intrusive.
Seems related to the audio output turning on/off. Even though it does not seem to be MMA's problem, MMA could mitigate this by adding a pad onto the end of every played track that would keep the audio outputs from turning off. Don't know how long the pad needs to be, probably dependent on individual preferences. For skipping tracks, the pad could be very short, less than 1 second. But, it might be beneficial to have an option for a longer pad if someone does a lot of stopping and starting of tracks.
Either way, MMA and MediaMonkey for Windows is definitely the best solution I have found for syncing my music and podcasts, which is why I paid my money. There are definitely some areas that could be improved (handling of podcasts comes to mind), but overall, good stuff.
