Dear Professionals,
I was wondering seeing all the great "fingerfriendly" contact managers if it would be also possible for media players.
This would be really need to scroll through albums etc...
Although I think someone could really squeeze money out of such an app.
So is it impossible or why nobody is trying to do this?
Mortplayer
Did you allready have a look on MortPlayer :

this is the player I use when I drive with my car, has big button etc.
regards,

The Touch Media Player is also very fingerfriendly
I bet he's asking for a finger scrolling play list

The touch media player does scrolling playlist
What is this touch media player your talking about? Are you talking about the WMP in the HTC Touch or the HTC Audio Manager?

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:

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.

Has any one tried 40th Floor MP3 player.......Dam Good... Sorry I caanotpost it, as I do not have enough band width...on GPRS.
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

I just got my Mogul a few days ago, and I was wondering if anyone knew a way to minimize tomtom so that I can have windows media player playing music through my car stereo while also using gps. I can play music in the background, I just cant get out of TomTom without exiting the app. Oh yea, my face buttons don't work so that is not really an option
One more thing, is there a more finger friendly media player for windows mobile?
Thanks for the help,
Jason
Cannot speak for the others but I have the press the OK button on the side twice and this get me out without ending the program so I can come back to it,,,

Be quite man..... Read carefully the request of this thread....
s2p works great, I just wish that it supported m4a files, since a large portion of my library is in that format.
I have found that pressing the ok button works, the only problem is that the only ok button I have is on the qwerty keypad. My side and front ones don't, along with the red phone button

Search the Market, there's a lot of free apps there that you can choose from.

didn't find anything useful thats why i'm asking here maybe for some recomndetion
I'm using MixZing for playing music ...
funny these threads. listed as one of the main selling points of this device was mediascape. you must have read that but bought it anyway! did you not try the phone 1st? this is a prime example of why we all should! not having a go so dont start flaming! expressing my opinion. there is no app within the app store that will deliver anything near what mediascape does right now so for this phone its the best you gonna get! in time when custom roms are being made then we may see the likes of what htc have to offer. we are also currently lacking in apps that do offer more but hopefully corecodec will develop an app for android! until then and until custom roms are available i would just stick with mediascape. no matter how much you hate it, the alternatives are even worse!
edit:
some coredec images for the cp2.0 for android.

playlists
Sorry for hijacking this thread but my question is to do with mediascape.
Anyone figure out how to create playlists in mediascape yet?
The only thing I have found that comes close is starring tracks as favourites, but that only generates one list.
Am I missing something or is it not possible? Cheers.

Yeah... I don't think that's possible. Which kind of sucks but something I can live with. I mostly just use Spotify anyway.
And I also want to know about any good picture gallery. I had one but it wasn't really good at all.
Ah, fair enough. At least it's not me going daft. I was searching Google and the results were implying that you could generate lists but they must have meant that it could be done via media go software.
As far as media players go i would consider that to be a basic feature that is required (especially if you have a large library).
As for the gallery I can't say I'm too impressed with that either. However I did like the one previewed on the mini. Hopefully that will be included in future updates, if there are to be any.
Just typing this on the phone itself using the HTC keyboard. The only thing missing are the directional arrow keys, tapping the screen in the correct place is hit and miss for me.
You can generate Playlists with the Astro Filemanager, which you should have installed anyway...
Yeah I do have that instaled. I'll try that out. Cheers mate.
PiQture is pretty good photo viewer.
I found se's other music player in the phone but cant shortcut to it to use it easily.
Im using the file manager by nalic (green and blue pie chart icon). Navigate to system/media/audio/ringtones (ogg) and play one, a different player called music opens to play it, now leave the file playing and pull down the notification tray and touch the play icon then press the left menu key then library button and you are in.
Now this player will be listed in the recently used app list (hold middle button) unless it gets moved off the list by opening more than 6 more apps without opening it again to bring it to the front of the list.
I like this one better than mediascape as its less cluttered and straightforward and you can create playlists which are drag and drop editable and show up in mediascape.
It would be nice to get to it easier though.
There is also a video player and picture viewer but they are very simple with few options.

Hope this helps.
One of my main reasons for wanting the X10 is mediascape. Since I've only seen videos, and you guys actually have the X10... I'm looking forward to hearing why Mediascape is a poor media player and gallery. It certainly looks more robust and feature filled than any of the current media players I've seen.

it is possible but via media go I think, I spent ages trying to work out how to get a playlist set up but I think you have to literally set up a play list on your pc, then transfer that playlist on to the phone (?) only reason I say this is because there is a playlist option in the library in media go. Unfortunately I'd already moved my music across before noticing this so didn't want to double it up or remove it and start again.
I found an app called mortplayer which is free and works a charm for music

Or get a file manager from the market and follow my instructions above, any playlists created will be automatically integrated into mediascape.
Its easy once you suss it. !
Hi,
Anyone know how to disable the mediascape from caching thumbnail for music file ? I think this would vastly improve the speed, as mediascape would only have to read the tagging info and not the image/albumart.
I tried to set the folder as read only, but it doesn't work, the phone still write to it
Hi all - I've sussed this out (alternate Music player and playlists)... download an app called "AnyCut" from the market... in here you can add all sorts of different things.. one of which is under the "activity" option.. called "Music" this is the stock android music app (mentioned by baggyb above).. this way you'll have a link to the music app on your home page which you can then use to create your playlists...
All these work arounds to create playlist are fine but the main PIA is when I want to add tracks to Current Play list while listening to music. Can't be done. I hope SE will soon release a upgrade to address some of these basic issues.
Also, when you try to add contact as Shortcut on Home Screen it brings up list of all contacts and there is no search or 'letter' list on side to select the names. You can to scroll all the way down to select names. I guess SE QA and design team tested the phone only with one track of music and one contact in address book.
