Mp3 player with small footprint and a good today plugin? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I'm prepping my phone for a nice long day at jury duty and I'm looking for an MP3 player prog complete with a today plugin so it's easy to control from the today screen. I tried searching but there's so many out there, I wanna know what you guys use. Thanks

I use MortPayer

Conduits Pocket Player is the best IMO, but it's not free.

I use PocketMusic, the basic version of which is free. Very nice player.
However when I was on Jury duty a few years ago, they made me leave my phone at their desk (certainly while I was in the courtroom, can't remember whether in the waiting room too).
Andre

You won't be allowed a phone in court and if you are seen with it you could be in serious trouble.

Oh they let us keep our phones. I guess they feel sorry that they leave us in the waiting room for 5 hours before taking us into the courtroom for another 3 hours. What a waste of a day, and they couldn't get a full jury so I have to go back again tomorrow
I'm surprised I was able to use it almost all day and it only got to 40% with Internet, video, and music. Definitely getting my money's worth with the phone right now.
Thanks guys, i'm trying out mortplayer right now

MortPayer does not support wma?

NO. Mort Player support MP3 and OGG.

Why dont you try the TCPMP player it supports all formats like .wma .mp3 and the sound quality is awesome.

On my wizard, spb to play doesn't control the media player, but it acts as if it is a standalone player. If I start playing something in WMP, then go to the today screen and press play on the plugin, it starts playing a different song. I can play 2 songs at once, and the plugin just scrolls through all my music, insted of my current now playing, which is annoying, cos I have lots of music on my memory card... :?

just press play from the today screen...dont open windows media player...
thats what i do... :idea:

Best mp3 Player software?

Hi guys, I have just installed Pocket Player, which I am happy with, however being an imate Jam owner I of course want the best!
So before I part with my money and purchase one, what would you guys say the best software available is?
Thanks
For me, it's Pocket Player Plus. The Auto Screen Off features saves me lots of battery time and the alarm feature is just as great as well.
This is the one you want:

I don't know..
Had some troubles with my SDcard drooping data and Pocketmusic. Maybe it happened only to me?..
Think WMP is doing the job oki.. miss some customization but its installed default so i think its waste of space not using it.
I second romix's suggestion. I find that mortplayer fits my bill the best, Pocketplayer was sluggish on my O2 mini and WMP couldn't play some of my own mp3s encoded with LAME but okie on the others... :?:
I have found BetaPlayer to be the best. Not very flashy - but very stable and has all teh features you could want. Plays mp3, DivX and ogg among others.

I had the same problems with pocket music, installed on SD. The solution is to disable the today plugin, the you don't get the annoying error message. I guess it has somthing to do with the delay when data is on the SD.
Now it works great... set "turn off display" to 5 sec or whatever you prefere, and lock hardwarebuttons and you are good to go.
the best player ever ist mortplayer

but MortPlayer not supported WMA file format....

Likewise. The free players such as Mortplayer and GSplayer do just as good a job as the commercial ones. Instead of wasting it on eye candy, spend your $20 on another SD card (512MB is only $29) so you can carry more tunes or movies!
GsPlayer is one of the best music player for PPC and it's free...
Try it and you wll love it :lol:

what exactly is the difference between highQ version. nothing i can find on the sight and not in the read me.
Do they mean VGA?
And what do you think about WinamPAQ? Is this a good player?
PocketMusic it's a great app but it freeze my S100...I use MortPlayer now...even if it has orrible skins...

I avoid installing POcket Music on the card since I use Pocket Music as an alarm clock. THe delay in detecting the SD card causes this type of malfunction. I like Pocket Music and aside from getting Winamp 2.x skins, it is really good.

Can you use Pocket Music as an alarm clock? How do you do that? Would appreciate any explanation... (And what version do you use?)
Cheers!
Has any one tried 40th Floor MP3 player.......Dam Good... Sorry I caanotpost it, as I do not have enough band width...on GPRS.

What is the best MP3 player program?

I am using 40th floor MP3 (free but not available anymore). Sound quality is good, but there is no way to dim the screen during playback, and no way to create playlists.
What other (except for Mediaplayer) programs exist for WM5/Prophet? What are you using? (Bluetooth compatibilty doesn't matter, as I am using Sound cradle)
Mort Player
_http://www.sto-helit.de/
Windows Media Player
TCMP player
I am using MortPlayer. I think it is the best one.
Ppod,your spv or qtek looks like an ipod.
Still WMP
Windows media player works great for me, I've tried a bunch of other programs.
Still find WMP the best one

Could you Please tell me where to download the Ppod, sounds cool and I want to try it.

Mortplayer, because it is light and functional, plays ogg files and has a large simple display mode.
Personally I like WinamPaq. Guess its because I got used to winamp on the PC.
One note about WMP - it seems to take up more memory then the competition.
Thank you, but...none of them is really good. First of all Windows Media Player doesn't allow to play a selection continuously. MortPlayer has UGLY and unfriendly interface, as all af their (very good) programs. The guy from 40th floor blocks the whole world and sells his program only to US americans.... so there is nothing on the market? Anybody tried Vito player? Is it any good?
I don't use MortPlayer, but like many others it is skinable. You can even create your own skin so I wouldn't dismiss the app just because of looks.
There is the new CorePlayer out, saw review somewhere on this site just yesterday. Not free, but looks nice and plays just about everything. No AVCRP support though...
THE BEST
Simple, versatile and free !!!
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/fr/index.php?soft=1080
yep, nothing beats TCPMP, NOTHING
if you are talking merely about mp3 function, PocketMind PocketMusic is the super ideal solution!
MortPlayer. The default skin looks ugly, but just choose the "Steel" skin, which is very functional, or download one from the site.
Mp3 Player
I Have Tried Almost All Extensively And Finally Settled To "conduits Pocket Player".
best mp3 player
I use gsplayer, good quality and simple. I believe mortplayer uses the gsplayer playback engine but stand to be corrected. I like mortplayer as well but it's too much hassle to use sometimes.

Which is the best MUSIC PLAYER??

I don't like the actual music player (Audio Manager) and I don't care ever about windows media....
So what is the best Music Player?
Does anything like Ipod or Iphone software exist??
there is
pPod which is pretty much an ipod clone pretty poor though dont support screen toggle or other formats then mp3
there is mortplayer which have many ipod'ish skins
there are winampaq
there are many ipod'ish skins for wmp too
but in generaly you get as many various replys as
you do with questions like
"whos the best actor"
"whats the best cheese"
"whats the best car".......
people openions and tastes differs pretty much
gsplayer AND srs wow.
imo.
best sound quality, and least cpu usage had 40tiplay.
I have already SRS WOW, and it's great...
I have heard something about this "40iplay", but I can't enter in its main site.....
What do you think about that?

Does exist a problem with the same features?
take a look at pocket player 3.51. I am sure it has its flaws as well but it has some nice iphonish features.

Thanks

Ive tried em all but always come back to plain old windows media player - it has less bugs than the others.

I have already tried it....
but when I minimize the player, It shuts down.....
Have you a solution? (This is a nice player....)
That is most likely in the advance settings. I don't have a Touch but I put it on a friend of mines that does. It worked great. In the settings I believe there is a choice of what action to take when minimized. I know mine is set to continue playing and provide a player control on the today screen via a "notification" button on the bottom tool bar. Definately contact their support center because they will help you fix the bug.
Thanks

PocketMelody
Anyone tried PocketMelody??
I copied all the directory into my memory card...
The program starts correctly, but when I try to see the mp3 list, a black screen appears and if I push the screen again, the first screen of pocket melody comes back.....
Any solution??
If you don't need video and like options, Mortplayer rocks. It is the only player I have found where I can start playback of a certain folder with one button push.
I like conduits pocket player it has a couple bugs but I like alot of its features like built in web radio and streaming podcasts.
I also have a touch and dont have that problem when minimizing so you might want to check the settings.
Did i miss it or did really no one mention TCPMP or The Core Player?
Both play ogg of cause and also speex (highly compressing speech codec, good for audio books or comedy stuff) and the Core Player (not free unfortunately) also handles Bluetooth Headsets with the AVRC Protocol

Music on the Mogul

Ok so I never really cared about music... but my new job (yes got a new yob during a recession!!!!! was only laid off errrr 3 week vacation as I see it...)
anyway...
I now have to take the train to philly... and I listen to music on my mogul...
I tried TCPMP but I dont have stuff setup as a playlist yet....
I then used Media Player which was easy... but for some reason it kept on randomly changing songs....
the audio manager in the rom i am using was working then started acting up.. but now im trying a new rom Titan Reloaded M2D 1.4 beta 2 by bitserve
so gonna try using the touch flo music part.. has a shuffle so will see...
anyway what do you recommend?
media player was easy... and you can rate the songs.. but no way to play your list by rating....
i just dont want an ipod... I used to carry all kinds of stuff... pda, cell, external gps, etc.. now I have it all in 1... and love it...
for videos I use WMP. but for songs I use S2p that works almost like the Itouch. just play lists not too sure about.
for WMP. I usually like to put the music in different folders on the card by genre. que them up and make a playlist so on and so forth.

i did install s2p before I left for work.. so far it is cool... can turn mogul off and it still plays....
minimal features but has what I want so think it is a winner...
thanks!
Jeff
since we are talking about s2p, has anyone had a problem where it takes s2p like 3-5 seconds to load a song everytime the song changes. What also came with that problem is that it takes a lot longer for s2p to close andbring me to the home screen. I just sit at a black screen sometimes for 10 seconds till i get to the home screen. If anyone has a solution i would love to hear it
edit: all my files are organized in a nice structured format sdCard/music/BandName/Album/track i dont know why its doing it but its definitely weird
edit(2/26/09): i uninstalled s2p cleared all reg values and everything with skTools and reinstalled s2p and works fine again.
i am not too sure. I loaded mine on the card but other than that ot too sure.
Nitrogen
You can also check out Nitrogen. I really like the program and can be found on the "Development and Hacking" on the main page if you search for it.
I prefer to use Media Player. I program S2U2 to button 5, so I just start my music, hit button 5, and my phone turns off quickly and my music keeps on playing. The media player is much more palatable with a skin.
I am assuming you checked your shuffle button on media player to make sure it is not on?

What music player are you using?

Im using kinoma but was thinking of starting to use something else. Kinoma just doesnt cut it for me anymore and it looks to outdated.
pocket player, its the best !!!

I love the HTC Sense interface however I have found the music player to be difficult when it comes to editing playlists among other things.
Nitrogen is free and has a simple interface, though not as beautiful as Sense, the options and clarity of use trump the HTC music player. You can find it here:
www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-nitrogen-player.html
Regards,
Rudy.
I rarely use my HD2 for MP3s and if I do it's primarily for playing Justin Beiber - 'Baby' to piss my friends off, Sense suffices nicely for that.
Ive only been using the sence player, because when i click next song on my bluetooth headphones, the sence player is the only one to respond
why isnt anyone using S2P? Love it! Using the latest version & it rocks. Great UI. No glitches. Awesome work with the covers etc. Best part is tht it plays audio off videos. I download a lotta music vidz but like to jst hear while walkin....this wrks wonders, coz unlike in WM player, TCPMP etc where if i turn display off, playback stops, here u can switch off & put the phone in ur pocket & still hear the audio
core player baby! all i do is lock the screen and wen i put it in my pocket or wen the screen goes blank, the music still plays
Nitrogen for me too
Pocket Player
It really does kick the lamma's ass.
great sound
lots of controls
including rewind and seek/resume
DSP effects surround sound is just the biscuit.
Video Playback is a software job but then again so are most.
Podcast down load straight from the menu...
The list goes on, for me Music and Audio Pocket Player. Video built in Windows Media Player, then you get the hardware acceleration you paid top money for.
does pocket player have built in shoutcast?
