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.

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.

Best mp3 Player for JJ

Can ppl please tell me what mp3 player u r using that works best on the JJ (good sound, VGA support, no trouble with closing and power)

MP3 Player
Use TCPMP, it can do even more than just playing MP3's (Video)
Cheers

I use PocketMusic Player... I think it's the best that I've tried...
You're not gonna have any luck with anything that will accept button presses when the lid is closed - I get the impression this is something the device does in hardware (or OS). It's a bummer - I know...

Maybe you didn't try TMPCP (freeware, formerly aka Betaplayer). I had PocketMusic Player installed and purchased before.
TMPCP is just superior and e.g. supports *.avi files (Movies)
You can find it here

I think Pocket Music Bundle is nicer to use as a music player though, has a few more options and nice tweaks here and there, and it works well enough on the JasJar despite a few display issues when browsing for files.
That said, I've uninstalled PMB and am currently using TCPMP, largely because I'm waiting for proper WM5 software to come along, and in the meantime I'm keeping software to an absolute bare minimum.

Pocketmusic has much better sound. And thats all tht matters to me

TCPMP gives out very good sound if you play about with the equaliser.
(I'll conceed that PocketMusic may be slightly better though, so when they update their software, I'll be there!!)

I have PocketMusic Ver. 3.7 installed on the JASJAR. It works OK.
But I prefer TCPMP anyway. Problably a matter of taste.
And as said above, you have to play with the equalizer of TCPMP to make it sound good.

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.
Thanks in advance

I send you a private message

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".

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 musicplayer do you use on the HD?

I am curious, which player do you use and which is the best on the HD (no D-Pad). Which player makes the HD a real competitor to the iPod Touch / iPhone (in playing music).
I Like the Pocket Player. Nice Browsing through albums, many settingoptions, nice design.

I use the HTC one, it works and sounds pretty good ..

Coreplayer .... many many threads and posts about this ....

I'm trying out Pocketmusic (seems OK so far) as I can't get the TF3D thingie to work with more than a handful of tracks loaded, and anyway it seems a bit of a toy compared to what I've used before (pTunes on PalmOS), and it doesn't support .ogg files.

Btw, do you have any idea how to setup the fading in core player? you know, fading, so that when a song terminates the next one starts with 1-2 seconds overlapping, so it doesnt have the silence break..
thanks,
ionutz

Pocket Tunes is very good.
But, they don't have a WVGA skin yet. One thing that I found to be useful is the good bluetooth handling they have and the redirection of podcasts to a mono headset.
Regards, D

you also have Kinoma Play. Excellent as music player.

GSplayer old but very good

Ive been using the TF3D-player up until yesterday when i installed Coreplayer.
The sound and equalizer is much better in Coreplayer.

But i think an intuitive interface is also very important. i like the interface of S2P but the coverflow is not very smooth. Currently i am using pocket player but i hope there will be some good ipod-like-mediaplayer soon.

TF3d music tab sounds way better than Windows media player..I just got coreplayer...I may start using it if the sound quality is better.

S2P for me!
As for me, I use S2P! I've been using it since it first came out, when I was using my "old" Touch. Now i've got the latest OpenGL S2P from A-C, and love it,think its a great player, and would recommend it to anyone.
But I do understand that everyone has their personal choice,so if u're looking for a music player, try several and see what suits you best!

I'm a huge MortPlayer fan, it plays my ogg files perfectly. The new beta version is MortPlayer 3.31 b76 which comes with a skin made for the HD resolution Highly Recommended.

I use "conduits pocket player". Amongst other things, it has the features I most want from an mp3/media player. The most important features for me are; The screen turns off at a configurable time, it has a configurable sleep timer, It pauses for phone calls and resumes playing on completion. I can control the pause and rewind (volume up and volume down buttons respectively) from my pocket. I think it is a great player.

I use HTC TF3D sound...

I'm testing Pocket Player - and so far I'm liking it. I just wish the default skin was nicer. So far I haven't found any other skins that are wvga and have the functionality + large cover photo like the default skin. And I wish you could navigate in full screen mode.
I tried the iPhone looking skin found in the xda forums, but the album cover is still too small (for my taste), and that skin doesn't have the functionality of the default skin.
So far the TF3D player and Pocket Player are my favorites (I've already tried all of the other ones on the poll list above). We'll see which one I end up using more often.

I used to use S2P but am happy with the HTC one, links up with my BT headphones and sounds quite good.

No winamp on its way to WM 6.1?

I am using MortPlayer for all music playing, it even wakes me up in the morning (that was the reason I started using it back in WM5 times: it was able to "awake" my HTC Wizard, while the implemented clock was not ...)
But MortPlayer is much more than this, it is easy to listen to live audio streams, MP3, OGG files and to create playlists or run through folder collections. A great player, indeed!

TF3D - simple and good audio quality. Composing playlist is somehow difficult because you dont see the full ID3 info. Loading takes some time when you have many audiofiles and to say the truth .... i don´t have soooo many - about 1-2GB only.
All other players have one problem, i have to start them, they don´t look as cool as TF3D and aren´t so user/thumbfriendly as TF3D - except for Mortplayer carscreen.

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 !!!

Nitrogen

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

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?
