Are there any plugins for the today screen which allow for windows media player to be controlled - for example pause, next/previous track, volume, etc.
The closest I managed to find is Spb ToPlay, but it is kind of its own standolone music player, and doesnt actually control windows media player - you can have the plugin playing one song, and windows media player playing another.
Thanks in advance
PHM has one, but I'm not sure if it's WM5 compatible.

Try this one: Windows Media Player Quick Launch: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=111&t=205413
It works on the Universal but it is not VGA so the controller icons aren't as nice as it should be. There are other stuff in there too, but the one you are looking for is at the top of the list.

Does SPB To Play needs SPB Pocket plus to run?

Thanks, but as I said, this doesnt actually control WMP - it actually acts like its own standalone player - you can have one song playing on windows media player, and when you attempt to control it using the plugin, another song plays in the plugin - so two songs are running. Its rather inconvenient asn it just plays random songs, and you cant pick which songs you want to play!
It doesn't need spb pocket plus.

I am looking for a today screen plugin that enables me to control WMP from the today screen. Any ideas?
Spb ToPlay...
... available here: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/plugins.html?en
Despite what it may seem, it doesn't need spb Pocket Plus to run.
Thanks but the spbtodayer player is an independant player and just plays tracks in order.
With a bit more searching I found this

Which has far better integration with wmp10 and does repeat and shuffle plays
Does anyone know of a Media Player plug-in for the today screen?
Don't know of a today plugin for MS Media Player, but I know Pocketmusic has a today plugin.
Window Media today plugin
You can try this cab.
Thanks, since I'd prefer not to use MS Media Player, I will try pocketmusic out.
Hi everybody;
I'd like to know, what are the best mp3 players for Windows mobile pda's ?
Actually i have windos media player (eeeeerk) and nero mobile;
I'd like to find an "intuitive" player, as ipod's player which is perfect for me;
Does any player with Ipod's style exist? or any other intuitive player of this style?
Thanks all.
i do not know anything about trendy apps, but try these, just good, simple mp3players..
gsplayer, mortplayer.
trendy mainstream will recommend sth. like s2p or similar...
I second s2p. cool player
There a number of good mp3 players which might suit your needs such as:
1. Conduits Pocket Player(I'm currently using it) - Extremely functionable which uses a library system similar to the windows media player library screen but more finger friendly. Also uses Windows media Player skins, Pocket player Skins and basic Winamp skins (2.x). Great for maximising your battery life because it can run on a underclocked cpu without any issues.
2. PocketMind's PocketMusic - Great if you dont like to change song via your playlist because the playlist uses a rather small font and is designed for a stylus but the main screen should be fine for your fingers.
3. Kinoma FreePlay - Extremely good program which uses a navigation system which greatly resembles that of an iPod and uses a very clean and finger friendly UI... But it lacks important features such as A2DP and a Toggle Screen function.
4. S2P - Looks great and plays songs alright... lacking a playlist function.
5. AudioManager - Never Tried It =(
I listen to audio books, and the default win player, doesn't allow me to bookmark my spot when i finish & resume from the same spot. Is there a player that does, paid or free, doesn't matter which
I don't know about the audio format but Mortplayer used to let me resume a song from the position it stopped playing, would that work?
Hi,
I use Conduits Pocket Player. This program gives you the option to choose to automatically bookmark (and thus resume) one track or all tracks. This player also has an automatic screen off function and sleep timer.
For me, this is a great player for audio books.
if you have visual studio 2008 you can compile the one from here. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/abcPlayer.aspx
Thanks for the replies, Conduits Pocket player looks like the sort of thing I need
I can recommend you pocketMusic, it has bookmarks and I like it more that PocketPlayer. Only issue with it: dousn't have Coverart and doesn't have WVGA-theme, you'll see it when you use it. But for Music and for listening to biiks, its awesome. Just try it out
Greets, cad^^
Kinoma Freeplay (or the paid version) works well with audio books. Even works on Audible content, it can log in, stream or download audible books - if you use audible of course. It seems good quality and works well on the HD. It bookmarks any file and retains a history log.
Hello,
Since I've seen the Media Xperia Panel on the Xperia, I'm looking for a good alternative "finger friendly and eye-candy" media player.
I've tried CorePlayer an Pocket player, but in comparision with the Media Panel on the Xperia they fail in many ways.
Anyone working on a good alternative/stand-alone Media Panel port? Tried to install the Media Panel witch the Blackstone panel-interface, but that does'nt work.
Any ideas for this one?
Try Pocket Music.

BTW the version v0.81 does not work with the new windows mobile.
There is only one player i like on WM which is Pocketplayer http://www.conduits.com/products/player/ not pocket music.
S2P would be good if it was smooth, but its impossible to accuratly select albums because its so jumpy.
media players
Coreplayer is solid as far as any others there is a bunch on this website www.freewarepocketpc.net
How about Nitrogen player? (http://code.google.com/p/microfi-nitrogen/)
