Is there a way to make HTC Audio the default media player? - Mogul, XV6800 General

Right now I'm using Microsoft Voice Command to play music through my HT820's, but when I say, for instance, "Play Red Hot Chili Peppers", though I have several mp3's worth of their music, it will only find and queue 1 of their songs. I'm thinking that WMP is the bottleneck and isn't reading the tags on the mp3's quite the same way HTC Audio is, which is my preferred media player, and also finds all of the artist names (If I go to the "artist" section of WMP it only shows 6 categories; "All Songs by Artist", "Unknown", "Sample Artist 1", "Sample Artist 2", 'Van Morrison"). I have about 1.75 GB of music on my 4 GB card, and I'd like to try this setup out with HTC Audio as the default (If it's possible) to see if it'll resolve the remaining tie-ups.

Manila's Audio Manager 2.0 Problem

Hi Guys.
Well Some days ago i buy a 8GB microSd, ans then fillit with tons of music like 4000 songs in Eaac+ Format.
well the problem is that when i try to play the songs using the "all songs tab" in the main menu of the audio manager, it suddenly doesn't play anything and goes skipping songs (cuz is in shuffle mode), but it shows all album arts while skipping songs, and then when i try to play songs using "artist - Album" it says: The Song no longer exist in the library.
Can someone help me Please...
P.D. I'm Using the OPAL Port Full Rom with WM6.1, that has Manila Interface.

How to sync the Hero with WMP?

I always used to synchronize my music with WMP and now that I've got a Hero (my previous one was HTC S730), it doesn't work anymore. WMP Says:
Your device requires that this file be converted in order to play on the device. However, the device either does not support playing audio, or Windows Media Player cannot convert the file to an audio format that is supported by the device.
Any thoughts?
My entire music collection has two things which don't work on the hero:
1. Album art is WMP format (separate .jpg files for each album)
2. Artist: Artist/Featured artist/Featured artist 2 Album Artist: Artist
Every artist/featured artist combination is handled as a separate artist, while WMP mobile did a good job!
I'll have to bump..
I forgot to mention that it handles genres wrong way too. Some songs have a few genres assigned to them, example:
Pop; Pop Rock
WMP assigns that song to both genres, "Pop" and "Pop Eock", while Android player just makes a genre called "Pop; Rock".
Maybe there are some good 3rd party players on the Market (so far I couldn't find one).
Okay, I have got a solution y'all!
You don't have to ruine your library just to make it compatible with Android..
Search for a program called "MediaMonkey". Free edition DOES NOT do the job, but you can easily find a free-ed version (it's called "Gold"). I'm using version 3.1.1 Gold, which at the moment latest.
I still prefer using WMP for listening to music and I only use MediaMonkey for all the dirty job!
Just take a peek at this screenshot! It cures bad Android player, though you loose some of the data on the device - additional genres and featured artists.

HTC Music Shuffle

I am using the HTC music player in TF3D 2.5. It seems like the shuffle feature is not very good. I will have a play list with a few hundred songs in it. When I tell the player to shuffle, I tend to get multiple songs from the same artist/album played together. When it does shuffle in other songs, they tend to be from a similar position in the playlist. It seems like they couldn't effectively randomize throughout the entire list.
Has anyone else notice this? I know people have other 3rd party players they prefer. If I go that route, can the music tab in TF3D be updated to use those players instead?
i noticed that too...
thats why i'm not using it anymore.
i got "pocket music" cost me $30.00 but it was worthed
works perfect on tp2

Computer random is random and you can get patterns where you'll see two songs next to each other on an album or playlist played right after each other.
Doesn't mean its "not random enough" it just means your perception of random may not be random enough
So i guess what you're asking for is something which doesn't play songs randomly, it applies some logic to the tracks to ensure you don't get two by the same artist next to each other or songs aren't all from the same album.

I would say that having 4-5 songs out of 6 from the same album is not random when there are several hundred songs to pick from.
To the perosn who switched to a different player, are you set the music tab in TF3D to use the new playerr? How does one go about doing that?
Thanks
I've been playing with music player from touchflo and s2p and the suffle option is different. The s2p works great but the music player from htc doesnt. I have all different artists and about 200 songs. I play music for about 30 minutes, i stop for a while and play music for another 30 minutes. The same songs play again in a different order, but the same songs!

what is the folder structure under which you put the music. It should look something like this:
\Storage Card\Music\Offspring - Americana
\Storage Card\Music\Offspring - The Offspring
\Storage Card\Music\Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon
A folder for each album under a general "Music" folder...
MUSIC
I just made a folder in my Storage Card and called it "Music" obviously without the quotes and used a Micro sd Adapter and put the card reader thingy into my laptop like a usb and transfered over my music. I have a bout 5GB of music and when i when to the music tab it said searching and found all my songs.!?
I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, (please be more specific if this isn't what you're talking about).
When you select a song to play, how are you selecting it?
If you go to Artists or Albums, it will only play the songs under the respective artist or album.
If you go to Library>All Songs and then press on a song, it should then play all songs. Is this what you're doing? What happens when you do this?
Do any of your music players freeze?
I have had it freezing once I loaded about 4gb of music onto it.
Storage Card\Music\*.*
I know just what he means. In the music tab you get the album view which is pretty useless/cumbersome, so, instead of playing music from there, he's going into "Library" and then possibly Artists>Album>SongName. Problem is, when you do that, HTC's music player creates a new (temporary) playlist with only that one song, so, if you want to skip to another song, you have to go back to Artists>Album>etc...
With HTC's player, you HAVE to create playlists to get the most out of it (or just stick with the default "All Songs" playlist (painful if you have over 1,000 songs because, again, of the lame UI for the music player)) and just switch playlists as you go.
Is there any way to get the HTC media player sort the albums in landscape mode to Artist then album like how its sorted in an ipod touch or iphone?

When i uploaded 6 gb of music all in different folders, the player showed it to me all in one giant list, is this going to fix the problem, or do i have to do something else?

The player can show it to you listed by album, artist, genre, or composer...just use the slider when in "library" view. However, this is dependent on the ID3 tags on your music files being filled in correctly...
Is there a way to create ID3 tags for all my music based on folders?
I don't care about the albums as long as i can have folders and not a one giant list of mp3's

Hey im having real issues getting ANY music to play, it is in .mp3 format but my HD2 just wont play it?
Can anyone help?

large playlists get truncated?

Has anyone gotten large (>1000 song) playlists to work on the Xoom?
I copied over the playlist files, and I can see that the playlist file on the Xoom contains all the songs, but Music only shows 1000 songs (the first 1000.)
Tried other players (btunes, PlayerPro, PowerAmp, ...) and they all FC on the playlists. (One of them mentions that it is using the Android playlists, so I'm guessing they are all going through the same API.)
