Just curious if anyone uses Nero Mobile on their Wizard for playing media files?
i did, it sucked, i deleted it. it was always freezing up on me
thanks for the info and sorry to hear that. I was hoping to be able to use it on my home system and wizard to sort of "standardize" my music using the same software. I guess Windows Media is about it. I am not too educated in that area though.
How long ago did you try it? Maybe there is an update that fixes some things.
I just installed Nero 7 Ultra Edition, but I disabled the Mobile application.
I don't use my Wizard (Cingular 8125) for media - speakers and headphones I have tried are pretty weak. So I still use a Creative Zen Micro player. To get my tracks onto that I use a replacement for the Creative Media Explorer called the Notmad Explorer. It handles transfer of music tracks, streaming content, backups of everything on the player, etc. It's developed by Red Chair Software. Really nice when it's working well, but I just moved it to a new PC and have some trouble with it - no response from developer.
On my old PC it still works, and it's the best at it when it works.
music app
I've had my mda for a while, and so far the best music player apps IMO are ppod, wmp w/spb to play, mortplayer is cool also...
but I did try nero mobile and so far its not that impressive

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.

I find that although I like the WMP when I reopen the program it has often forgotten what song was being played. This means I have to go back into the library to get it playing again.
Is this a problem with my os?
Is there a fix to this?
Other programs like Pocket Music don't seem to trip up in this way (although it does in other ways... don't get me started!).
running OS- O2 mini s- 1.5.4.102
Nevermind!
I just found TCPMP!
Works great! No errors yet.
I was hoping to get WMP up to scratch, but it always seems to fail somehow.
TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player) has been flawless so far. Hate to use more space but it's worth it for something that works that well and is free (opensource).
Does anyone know of any tweaks/ hacks/ xda-developers working on adding an auto-resume or a bookmarking option on top of Windows Media Player? Is this really hard to do? I'm surprised no one has worked on something like that yet.
Also, are there any free/ low resource-intensive media player applications that can play DRM-protected WMA files? My problem is a basic one: Conduits Pocket Player and some of the other "robust" media players are too much for me. They have more features than I ever use, and are way too resource-intensive for my little Wizard. I'm just trying to listen to audiobooks on my Wizard while working out, and hate having to locate my spot every time.
Thanks much for any help/ guidance/ suggestions.
Search for The Core Pocket Media Player. This is a very basic, yet powerful media player for PPC devices. But it doesn't have a bookmarking feature as you've described.
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

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

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 !!!

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.
Since Zune is now useless for syncing in WP8, I've decided the time has probably come to uninstall it. However, I'm loathe to let the iTunes virus onto my PC after a bad experience several years ago, so what is the best alternative music player/manager?
What are you using?
I still use Zune because I like the interface but you can also still sync with Windows Media Player.
winamp,foobar, mediamonkey or VLC - take a pick
but i tend to just listen to xbox music and dont use the local storage anymore.. shame actually
but smart dj is just a nice random mode
I agree with sinister1, Zune is amazing. Still using it.
I use Windows media player and Zune, but Zune is much better sounding than WMP.

Winamp has been my choice for the last several years, but I recently decided to try foobar2000. Foobar...... lacks a lot of functionality in comparison to winamp. Still, the majority of Winamp's addons haven't seen updating for over 5 years (literally), and winamp being owned by AOL has some downsides (the installer tries to give you a lot of ****).
I don't think I'm going back to winamp, but that decision is more of a vague whim, since foobar can be very.... patchy. The modular nature of foobar means UI functionality across the program is incredibly inconsistent, even among the default components! People keep assuring me "everything is configurable" but that just doesn't seem to be true, short of writing a component from scratch to make it work the way I want. Still I've managed to overlook these flaws and settle in comfortably, I think.
Mediamonkey is fat. That might not matter on a newer computer, but I'm biased against software with inefficient (bad) programming. (Full disclosure, Winamp's modern skinning engine is fat- don't install that, it's optional, and get an older "classic" skin).
I found this app named MusicBee. I'm in the process of syncing all my music as far as tags once I'm done I will wipe my phone and try to sync using it, I will keep you posted; I have a very large collection so it might be a while.
Too bad someone can't hack Zune and make it wokr for WP8 just like they made WMDC work for WP7.
I used the Windows Phone 8 apps (both metro and desktop versions) and music syncing was pathetic. It also took up too much space and had no playlists. I removed all music from my L920 and set up sync with Windows Media Player. I got all my songs and playlists and increased my available storage by about 10GB. The only downsides are that I don't prefer WMP over Zune (who would??) and now nokias Rinstone Maker doesn't recognize pretty much all the songs as they are WMA and not MP3
