I think music playing seamlessly is the most basic requirement for any phone/music player. Playback had always been flawless in their feature phones, 3-4 years down the line music stutters and sometimes the player shut down altogether isn't exactly progress to me, especially for my flagship Arc S let alone Xperia S with dual core 1.5ghz processor leaving no more excuse for this to continue being a problem. This is exactly why people go for iPhone
I've just tested my X S and had the Navigation running with GPS on, Wifi on, had the browser open and the music player working and all are fine. You obviously have something wrong with your phone. I've never experienced any lag.
PS iPhones have problems too.

I checked out Xperia S. I was expecting a faster UI but not much of a difference I felt compared to Arc S. I'm surprised since its a dual core, it still lagged (very minor) while changing home screens

I played with two in two different stores a week ago and did not notice any lag at all. But I guess it may be subjective what is considered as lag.

@Prom1,
Ah Android is still behind in creativity and multimedia type apps, but I think it will catch up soon. I guess you should rather have your iphone, and see how it goes with android.
I was also surprised to see getjar, but its very much alive, and its golden apps are really good! Lots of paid apps for free everyday!

The xperia s seems to usually lag/stutter mainly when switching between homescreens, and arc s/arc/neo/neo v all had this problem too! Its not about the hardware in this case, but sony's software custimzation at fault. So I think it might be fixed with the ics update.

If you skip to about 2:55 then you can notice the lag , all though its nothing major, it just isnt as smooth as it could have been!

I'm really enjoying the Xperia S, I used the Arc again last night and the X S is much quicker and more fluid.
Call me impatient thou, I really am getting itchy fingers waiting for both the .73 firmware update in the UK and ICS launch - I know it's coming but come on Sony, pull your finger out

The culprit seems to be the Xperia launcher that Sony use, i installed the Xperia S launcher on my GS2 last week, and although it looked beautiful, i ran back to the built-in TouchWiz one due to the XS Launcher stuttering/being choppy and laggy occassionaly almost like the Xperia Ss in the youtube vids. In the 5months ive had by GS2 it has NEVER lagged or stuttered, until i used XS Launcher and even though the XS launcher is good most of the time the unprectible lag popped up at the worst times, Sony need to optimize it, otherwise it will only get worse in Android4.0.

I tried installing/running TouchWiz and get a "stopped unexpectedly" error, but have used Go Launcher EX and the interface and certain programs still lag just as bad, particularly when it comes to scrolling (whether it be sprites or menus/web pages). I've even experienced a fair bit of slowdown with some games since my previous posts. Really not sure how to deal with this problem, it's clearly not the hardware - the Snapdragon S3 processor, while one generation behind the S4, is nothing to sneeze at... plenty other devices use it and I'm pretty sure they don't exhibit the same issue.

Launchers are optimized for devices, so it's a nonsense comparison.
You should replace your unit. XS runs really well.

I got my SX S replaced yesterday. It had a glitch over the home button resulting in "bed noises" when pressed.
I will check later if the new one has any problems with the mp3 playback while exiting programs or menus.

ROOT will do the trick! Then you can get rid of all the bloatware that slows down your phone. Iīve seen rooted "Arcs" that are faster than "S"... Lag/Stutter will show on all android phones if you donīt kill the bloatware that keeps eating up your RAM.
I just flashed ICS to my arc the other day and the lag/Stutter is still there...
My solution is to root it.
