Sorry if this has been covered before
I can stream mp3s from my network folders over wifi using WinampQ no problem but the winamp interface isn't touch screen friendly.
Using Mediaplayer, the files on my desktop drive are found and added to the windows media player library with the WM icon but if I try to play them WM tries, and loads the filename but then says "the parameter is incorrect" is it me or Mediaplayer thats the problem, I want to use the nice ipod type skin I found for WMplayer?

Hi i would like to use my Wizard as my main Media Device, i have an old ipod mini but i would like to have the same features as the ipod for podcast on my wizard.
As of now i use Juice (former Ipodder) and sync my podcasts with windows Media Player ---> this soulution stinks, ints buggy as hell and far to slow, the podcast in the media library get updated far to slowly, an sometimes it misses new entries...
I would like a program that sits on my desktop and has the ability to sync podcast seamlessly with my wizard and vidcasts to i can`t just sync the folder were i download all that stuff becouse it de vidcast ar far to big for my one gigger miniSD so i need a programm that takes the .avi (divx) or MPG4 and recodes them for my wizard!
PLEASE help me i am getting so pissed of by Windows Media Player
When you find a solution, let me know! I would like exactly the same thing. I am currently doing similiar to you, downloading podcasts/vidcasts with PodNova and then synching them using Windows Media Player. The problem I face is that WMP doesn't support m4v files, so I can't even get those files to sync using the WMP auto playlist synching. Boooo.
Have you tried Skookum Subscriber?
I've know of two programs for podcatching directly on the PPC:
Skookum Subscriber is in beta and looks like it has some potential, but truth be told I haven't tried it out yet:

There's also SmartFeed. I've used it for about a month now and it's OK but the UI is a bit wonky: It doesn't work with the keyboard on the SX66, you can't move between podcasts using the navigation pad, there's no way (that I've found) to select multiple podcasts for deletion, and after deleting a podcast nothing is selected by default which forces you to tap on another podcast to do anything.

Hello All,
Ever since I got my MDA my old Toshiba e800 has been used less and less. However I do use it when traveling for media (bigger vga screen).
I like WMP 10. But it is not available as a standalone download from MS. And my Toshiba only has WMP 9. Is there a way to extract the installation file from the Wizard ROM so that I can install it on my Toshiba?
Thanks
PS...Or is there an alternate media player out there that has the 2 main features I want from WMP 10? I like the library (it is very similar to the one used in the desktop version of WMP 11). And showing album art for each song played.
Thanks
So basically I have been using Mortplayer with the Vista theme (looks like WMP11 desktop). But I really don't like the way mort player organizes, or rather allows access to, your music. It is very confusing. And I want my Girlfriend to be able to use it with little fuss (she is not very technically inclined, nor does she want to be)
WMP 10 has the same library structure as WMP Desktop 11. She is already comfortable with that "Type" of structure...i.e. Access by:
All music or
Album or
Artist or
Playlist or
Genre etc...
I assume that I what I asked above is either not possible, or is a big no-no (extracting WMP 10 from Wizard Rom).... So....
Any ideas what to do here?
Thanks
Ok, well never mind here....WMP Mobile 10 will not play nice with a networked folder..... iT works fine for traveling but as soon as we want to use it around the house browsing our large networked media drive it shows it's limitations.
Back to mort player...Thanks any way
I've read a lot of good stuff about synchronizing the Windows Media Player 10 with the HTC Tynt (WM6). However, I do not seem to be able to view the nice album covers which i can see on my desktop PC.
Do I need to download some special skins to do this for the mobile media player???
regards,
This works effortlessly and without any "special" steps for me. Although I am using windows media player 11 for the Desktop. What is your entire process for placing and playing files? Are you doing the following (which I do personally)
1) Sync music under windows media player itself, not copying files over through explorer.
2) On Pocket Windows Media Player, update your library via menu
3) Under pocket windows media player, play your music through the library itself, as opposed to individually through file explorer.
Yes, exactly how I do it. The music is synchronized and plays well but the main media player screen does not show anything except the usual stuff like title, rating (stars)...
I also use Windows Media Player 11 and on the PC, I can see the album cover without problems.
Just tried it again and once again it worked fine for me. What rom are you using?
Hi there, this will seem like a very strange request, but I want to know how (if at all) I can run the Manila Audio player without needing to run the full Manila interface as I prefer the day to day use of Mobile Shell 3.
The Manila Audio Player organises the media files very well, allowing searching of the library by album, artist, genre very well, and all with my rather chunky digits...
I have tried several other offerings to replace Windows Media Player, the library function of this is sadly way behind the touch capabilities of most of todays windows mobile phones...
"Slide to Play" seems a little too responsive in CoverFlo mode and does not contain all the functionality in landscape mode, shame really as I want to use it in the car as a portable music collection whilst also running my TomTom Sat Nav in Landscape mode.
Any other suggestions or a way of using Manila's media player would be greatly appreciated...
I looked through the phones file system and was unable to find an executable that runs the Manila audio player. It appears to place a shortcut into the start menu when Manila is set as your Today screen but the shortcut disappears when Manila is removed from the today screen. I checked the proprieties of the shortcut and it points to "\Windows\ManilaShortcut.exe" music
I copied the shortcut to a new folder in my start menu and removed Manila from my Today screen but the shortcut would not open the player. It seems that the audio player will only work from within Manila
hi,
as anybody found a way how I can use the audio player without on manila enabled.
thanks,
steffen
It seems like the basic music player doesn't support streams, there doesn't appear to be any support in windows media player for streams either...
In the end I searched for some tools and GSplayer came up as supporting streams, so i tried that and copied the CAB install file to the storage card, it showed up in the start menu...I can run it and open a URL or local .pls file and it starts to stream...you see the percentage buffer quickly shoot up to 100% but then nothing happens...no audio, nothing.
I'm basically trying to play audio from an internet radio station I use a lot at home (xfm.nl) if you click "Luister Live" on the left you'll see shortcuts for all the streams.
Can anyone help? My settings are OK I think, I can get to the internet and recieve my email and use all the web based apps, so I don't think its a connection thing...maybe GSPlayer just doesn't support the HD2?
Try Skyfire browser.

I have WunderRadio but since you know the stream you want to play coreplayer will open it.
I just tried this using Skyfire and GSPlayer.
I clicked on the Winamp mobile link, and it downloaded the .pls stream to my storage card. GSPlayer opened automatically. I've set GSPlayer to own .pls files, so maybe that would help.
Just tried clicking on the downloaded .pls file and it also opens up GSPlayer. Hope that helps! At least you know that it can work
I want to know something fairly similar, is it possible to make a player stream a song or file instead of having to download it first. Sometimes with very large files I just want to play it and let it download as it plays instead of waiting for the entire file to download before being able to play it.
Try Groovemobile or nanogroove.
I just upgraded from a Touch Pro 2.
I have a few shoutcast .pls files I used to open and stream in coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427 with no problems.
I have changed from o2 to orange but all other streaming seems ok (e.g nanogroove/groovemobile/youtube/myplayer etc).
On the HD2 when I try to open the .pls files I get an unknown file format (0106) error or sometimes coreplayer just crashes.
Anyone know how to get coreplayer working with there files again?
I enjoy accessing last.fm using the skyfire browser.
Try SPB Radio, pretty good!
I just wanted to thank everyone posting suggestions, I will be trying some of them out soon
There is also coreplayer which handles .pls and .m3u file attachments.
