I pair my M5000 with my misses K750i lastnight and i found a tick box saying "Remote control" so i said yes, on the K750i the opion to control my phone came up, clicked on "desktop" and i found i have the following buttons:
up
down
left
right
enter
etc
this was cool for the media player coz you have play/forward song (anything you map the d-pad too).
Then you can play games like GeoRally and have a controler!
Has anyone else found this or have any cool ideas for its use other than a media remote?
Yep this works really well!!
tested it with my w800i

Does anyone know of any today plugins for windows media player so that track information and controlling play/pause, next track etc can be done from the today screen.
I often find i start WMP, then while doing other things suddenly want to stop a tune playing etc, and have to go back into media player.
I know there's other programs like mort player that allow this, but is there any plugins for WMP.
I've tried PHM's pocket plus - http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/Plus/#PHMtWMP, but that doesn't seem to work with WMP10.
interested in this also... let me know if you find anything. thanks
been on a business trip and it's only now that i saw this post. here you go then; nice little app / today plugin that allows you to use your media player and control it from the today screen. it also gives you an extra option of displaying both battery and memory bars/indicators. the website is:
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/software/PPC_MP3_players.htm
scroll down and you'll "today player". clicking on it will give you this site:
http://www.todayplayer.com/
just copy the cab file and execute it through your unit. from there; go to today settings and click on the box to allow the plug in to appear on your screen. it gives you a play button, stop, previous and next songs, etc. the note icon on the left gives you a bunch of options; best of all it gives you an option of "lights off" meaning the media player will continue to play even if the screen is off. the 3-bar icon on the right gives you the options of loading playlists which you make through your media player. it also allows you to load folders for songs and such. it also shows you the song currently being played.
the only drawback i see is that it's limited to playing mp3 and ogg only. i have a bunch of wma files somewhere and i had to convert them to mp3. but other than that; i like it.
cheers
This is a stand alone player and it's very nice (had it on my iPAQ) tried this on my i-mate JAM before and had some display issues were in the player would not refresh properly... I don't think it has been fixed as dev't on this application has been stopped.

Thanks, I did take a look at this, but was hoping for one that was actually integrated into WMP and not standalone.

Does anyone know of a Windows Media Player plugin for the today screen that works with version 10 of WMP. THe PHM plugin doesn't work with 10. Also I tried other programs like pocket music but they have bad integration with the operating system and voice command.
Thanks,
Daniel
Here it is...
WMP 10 plugin like IPOD with today screen plugin and portuguese operators configuration. If you do noy need install the 3 operators cab...inside
Thanks- I installed the .CAb but the today plugin only says "Play media files"- is it supposed to have controls- like Play, Stop , Next etc...
The Today Screen plugin opens WMP 10 with a IPOD Screen and on the screen, on the sides you have BIG controls that you can use .
I was looking for a plugin that allows you to control WMP from the today screen. Thanks anyway- also- i have a better Ipod skin that I uploaded here:
I accidently ran the optimus /cab and now my connections are screwed up-
how do I remove it?
FOUND ONE!!!

very simple no control on what to play. just play/pause next/prev and vol up/down it would be nice if we could atleast select a folder or playlist. everytime i start it, it plays my WMA tones! hahaha o well.
Ipod skin
Thanks for the very cool iPod Skin.

Good find, thanks
Why don't you give mortplayer a try, the today plugin for is is great
I have to say that anything that's not WMP just isn't good for the pocket pc (in my opinion) because of the lack of integration with the OS. For example, when I get a call it stops my music, then when i'm finished it resumes playing. As far as I know only WMP does this. Also, all the other players are too fancy for me- I don't need all those controls- just Play,Pause, Volume, and Next/previous track.
Although- does anyone know how to map other buttons. When I try to map other buttons besides the 5 "joystick" buttons it goes to that function. For example, if I choose mute and press "assign" and then press the contacts button- it switches me to my contacts. Same thing for my camera, phone, calander etc...
Any ideas??
Thanks!
ps- I love the iPod skin too!! I got it a while ago and can't find it anymore due to copyright issues. Good thing I saved it on my HD!
I actually found a newer version while seeing if what I wrote was true-
Here you go!
Hi, I just bought a HTC P3600 (S300+) everything works fine so far. My question is: can it be possible to turn off the screen while windows media player is playing some mp3s, I’m kind of new with this device, I looked on the wmp options and at the system setting but I didn’t find anything, i thing it’s useless to have the screen turned on using the battery if you are listen some music and the device is in your pocket!
Cheers!
Just try another program like Mortplayer or GsPlayer. They all seem to support this feature...
You could use Xbar and assign turn off screen to a button.
Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293122
Great WMP tip!
Not many keys are available to be assigned (beside directional pad) but I just figured out I could use "HOLD down" and "HOLD up" as key assignments.
Maybe Im the only one to miss that !?
Yes! Thanks for your answers, i did the "hold down" tip, is great!
i also tryed the GsPlayer and Mortplayer, they work fine, the probleme is that i sync my music with wmp on my pc and all music is reencoded in .wma (it's not so bad i can save place when my mp3 are supirior to 160kbps) maby i try another way to sync so i can use GsPlayer cz it look fine.
well, thx again!
I use VJEschaton screenoff / screentoggle to switch off my screen when listening to Carla Bruni

Hi there,
does anyone know which program catches the events of clicking once or long for redial at a bluetooth headset or the headset delivered with the HTC Backstone?
What I'd like to achieve is a program that catches these events and redirects them if necessary. On the other hand the program should be able to catch new events.
For example a double-click. This event should then be routed to the media player and switch to the next track.
Is there already a solution available for this. If not I'll develop one - but the first thing to start with is to get the events.
Thx in Advance
Steve
I don't know if it helps, but I have a Sonyericsson K800i, and it has inbuild bluetooth remote control, I think it's because of the AVRCP profile tha the HD has, that can control the HD. I was able to control my HD, simulating the d-pad for example.
AE Button Plus ?
I tried to use this software but it's not able to capture the button press of my Headset.
Any other ideas?
Does anybody else use this and does the "coverflo" only show the 1st 100 songs stored on the phone as it only seems to on my machine ???
Ehen I go further into the app it does then show all my music
Cheers
Dave
Hello Dave! The same on my Desire, and i got like 400 songs, but on the main screen of the player is shows 1/100. So i'm using meridian player, which is reading the play lists from sd. But i will like to have access on the player (like on the phone one) while the screen is locked

I wonder how to make Android music app OR Htc Music app read album art/cover? Do I just put in a jpg in the music folder or how do I do?
Thanks!
embed the album art into the ID3 tags.
I think itunes and winamp do this.
there is a nice music player called cube on the market
Does anybody know a music player that doesnt skip music while BT connected to my FM carkit?
I tried two carkits but only if i reset the Desire will i have no music skipping. But only until the next time I start the connection again. Then it is back to skipping.
I tried another phone (Palm Pre) with both kits and it works like a charm.
I can only remember problems with HTC and BT A2DP ! Had it before with HTC Windows Mobile phones as well and waiting for an update is not an option with HTC.
So maybe this is the wrong thread ....
Bluetooth

You have proably already done this but have you disabled the wireless when connected. I also reconnected my phone to my bluetooth car stereo and it now works fine with no skipping
yes

mine did this, got stuck and forced closed when you scrolled past a certain number. having said that,i can't find out how to get in to coverflow now! how do you access it?!
finally figured it out
open the music player as normal and press the bottom left key on the screen (the one with 3 lines)
When the next menu pops up press right once so the album list is present
Then press the menu key on the front of the phone (actual button) and press 'play all'
and it will return to the player with all albums ,now able to swipe through each
Got it!

nice one. so cover flow is for a play list, almost. if you're browsing by track or have told it to okay all albums then it works. kind of makes sense, that

tried that. also tried airplane mode but doesnt really make a difference; it comes and goes.
the desire player must have good and bad days wrt to the skipping but what makes the difference i do not know (yet)
this used to be an old habit of WM phones. Never have it with my Palm Pre.
HTC Android no guarantee either
try bTunes app. Looks like an ipod touch and has a lot of good features, such as reading a specific folder on the sd card, and can pull album art from last.fm i think it is. Lock screen controls too. its less than £2 i think.

Thanks for the heads up. I like the iPod style music player just for simplicity. Like the lockscreen controls too. Shame it doesn't have a homescreen widget!
