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

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:

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.

Mp3 player with small footprint and a good today plugin?

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?

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:

JAMin - free 'program memory' level continually dropping

Hi,
Tried to search for this but couldn't find it anywhere. Basically, as I use the apps on my JAMin day to day, I find that the free Program memory is continually dropping (and the 'in use' level is rising). I use the device mainly for playing MP3 (via WMP10), reviewing some Word documents (size of any new ones loaded is taken into account before complaining about losing space!), syncing with my Outlook calendar, phone calls, SMS and playing some games. I have not connected to the Internet to date. Even after simply playing music for 45-60 minutes I can see that the free program memory has reduced from what it was before I started playing the music!
Turning the device off then on clears this back (I usually have around 24Mb free). I installed Memmaid thinking this would identify the temporary files and clear them, however it only seems to pickup a few kB (though I only have the trial version loaded at present - is the trial version a full version, or could there be functionality missing?).
Any advice as to where this space is going, the file names or locations, etc. would be much appreciated. I'd like to find either an app that clears this space up properly, or to find where the files are so that I can clear them out myself as needed, without having to turn the device off.
At present, the only apps I have loaded onto the device are:
SPB PocketPlus
SPB ToPlay
Superdoku
Memmaid

I think Windows Media Players eats memory too much, just usless. I compared it with another Music Player such as GS player which is one of the best freely available music player. The WM10 ate abt 15 MB of memory for just playing an MP3 while on GS player it ate just 2.5 MB.

Maybe you can use attached program to find out which folder is creeping up with info...

The above program will only show you where your storage memory is. What the OP wanted to know is where his program memory is going.
I think its more or less a "feature" of Windows Mobile that as you open and close apps and work more and more on it, it will continually eat up ram. This is a gradual process and while I start with 24mb ram in the morning, I have around 17-18mb free by night time.
If you have a program installed which has a memory leak, this figure might be lower.
I have my device set to backup each night so it soft resets at night after the backup. This makes my phone fresh for the day with full program memory free.
A soft reset every now and then when you find your program memory low is a good idea. Other than that, there's not much you can do.
There are some programs which claim to free up some RAM, like Memmaid's Free up RAM program or SKTools's Clean Up Memory. These help to a very short extent...I find it better just to soft reset. Memmaid's program hardly works, while SKTools' program usually manages to free up around 2mb or something, although it takes a long time.

I was going to write what  PhoenixAG wrote. clap for him.
Storage memory is no problem but Program memory is a problem. And soft reseting is better then adding those programs to your mobile.
Try changing your mp3 player from WM10. it just leaks memory

I recall reading somewhere that it ws a good idea to do a soft reset on smart phones/PDAs every week or so anyway, so I guess I'll just keep doing that.
Now, to open a can of worms, what is a good MP3 player to replace WMP10 with? Probably no great free/shareware ones out there I suppose......

Thank you.
Regarding mp3 players, I haven't used my Prophet as an mp3 player because I have an iPod.
But I remember on my old Axim X30, I used to use Pocket Player...although that program was quite resource intensive, if I remember correctly. I have heard good things about Pocket Music too.
Other than that, I have no clue

Easy - just use Mortplayer - free and very useful, and you can put a skin that looks like an Ipod

how can i remove WMP10 ?
is there a good replacement for moves files ?

TCPMP is the best for both audio and video files, its freeware and u can download a lot of plugings like FFMPEG, VORBIS and AC3
hope this helps

Oh yeah, I forgot about TCPMP. I don't have a dedicated music player installed so I let TCPMP handle any audio files I have. And it handles Video excellently of course.
Overall, its an amazing software and its free. What more do you want?

I use TCPMP for videos as it is the best at what it does, i.e. play videos.
However I find Mortplayer better for mp3's, more features, playlist, multiple equaliser settings, and the skins and especially car skins make it much more user-friendly.
And yeah, it's free.

I have Mortplayer installed too and as u said skins are nice, buttons are big (i use steel skin) but if are short of memory u may want to use only one player thats why i offered TCPMP.
Anyway both are good players

Phone becomes LAZY (Coreplayer)

Hi
I have a quite big and annoying problem that I hope I can get rid off...
When I listen to music through Coreplayer (version 1.3.0 6213) after a while, maybe 20-30 minutes the phone becomes lazy.. for example when entering the settings (personal,system,connections) the icons does not shows immediately, insteand I see the icons one by one... I have tried many ROMS but I still have this problem..
maybe Coreplayer is the problem but the RAM usage is normal and even when the phone becomes lazy the usage is still around 40%... and even after I close Coreplayer the phone is still lazy and I need to softreset to get it working normal...
so I wonder what the problem is? (maybe I will try a WM 6.5 ROM and see if it works better but I don't have time atm) atm I'm using itjes Touch-IT 7.1 Lite + SPB Mobile Shell 3.0...
thanks

at the moment, I've noticed that coreplayer isn't really 100% stable on the Xperia.
Sure it's had improvements, but I think windows media player works just fine =].

windows media player sucks big time, it's not even near of what Coreplayer can do thats why I don't use it, for example, when switching track with coreplayer I don't need to enter the program to do it, I just do it with the "next" button, and it have more fetures... anyone know another program similiar to Coreplayer that works with xperia?

Coreplayer is a media player and not an audio player. Sure, it can play music, but it's like wathing movies on your in-car gps, it can be done, but it's better to use a pmp... Use one of those:
Pocket Player
Pocket Music
Mort Player (the best)
Winamp for Windows Mobile
S2P (pretty good)
Cheers

It's a well known issue w/ Core Player > 1.24. That's why I still stick w/ 1.24.

you could just wait for winmo 6.5 to come out.. if ever.
Or you could flash a custom rom with winmo, from the "Titanium" homescreen, you can change songs by swiping and tapping.

HTC TOUCH Slowdown in Media Player

A lot of slow down when I listen music in media player or another player. Slowdown Always in background. Why? I tested WM 6.5 Onyx R9 beta and 5.7 final.

I have 70mb free ram. Windows Media Player takes up 5mb. So I believe there is a memory problem. What program is that this link?
