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?

windows media today plug in

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:

Fingerfriendly Mediaplayer

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 :
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&entry=mp_program&action=list
this is the player I use when I drive with my car, has big button etc.
regards,
Daniel

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?

Windows Media/Audio today plug in

I've been searching for this for awhile now. I would like a today plug in for Windows Media player. The only decent ones that I've seen are included in manilla or HTC home. I want something like that, but on my today screen. I am currently using SPB mobile shell, so I really just want a today plug in for WMP.
I've seen the HTC audio plugin, but the buttons are way too small. I would like big buttons, preferably at the bottom of the screen.
I've been searching for a solution for awhile now.

Have fun and enjoy.

Are you sure? Because when I opened up wmp, there were no songs playing. I actually played 2 songs at the same time.

You must have a playlist in WMP

HTC Music App

Does anybody else use this and does the "coverflo" only show the 1st 100 songs stored on the phone as it only seems to on my machine ???
Ehen I go further into the app it does then show all my music
Cheers
Dave

Hello Dave! The same on my Desire, and i got like 400 songs, but on the main screen of the player is shows 1/100. So i'm using meridian player, which is reading the play lists from sd. But i will like to have access on the player (like on the phone one) while the screen is locked

I wonder how to make Android music app OR Htc Music app read album art/cover? Do I just put in a jpg in the music folder or how do I do?
Thanks!

embed the album art into the ID3 tags.
I think itunes and winamp do this.

there is a nice music player called cube on the market

Does anybody know a music player that doesnt skip music while BT connected to my FM carkit?
I tried two carkits but only if i reset the Desire will i have no music skipping. But only until the next time I start the connection again. Then it is back to skipping.
I tried another phone (Palm Pre) with both kits and it works like a charm.
I can only remember problems with HTC and BT A2DP ! Had it before with HTC Windows Mobile phones as well and waiting for an update is not an option with HTC.
So maybe this is the wrong thread ....

You have proably already done this but have you disabled the wireless when connected. I also reconnected my phone to my bluetooth car stereo and it now works fine with no skipping

yes

mine did this, got stuck and forced closed when you scrolled past a certain number. having said that,i can't find out how to get in to coverflow now! how do you access it?!

finally figured it out
open the music player as normal and press the bottom left key on the screen (the one with 3 lines)
When the next menu pops up press right once so the album list is present
Then press the menu key on the front of the phone (actual button) and press 'play all'
and it will return to the player with all albums ,now able to swipe through each

Got it!

nice one. so cover flow is for a play list, almost. if you're browsing by track or have told it to okay all albums then it works. kind of makes sense, that

tried that. also tried airplane mode but doesnt really make a difference; it comes and goes.
the desire player must have good and bad days wrt to the skipping but what makes the difference i do not know (yet)
this used to be an old habit of WM phones. Never have it with my Palm Pre.
HTC Android no guarantee either

try bTunes app. Looks like an ipod touch and has a lot of good features, such as reading a specific folder on the sd card, and can pull album art from last.fm i think it is. Lock screen controls too. its less than £2 i think.

Thanks for the heads up. I like the iPod style music player just for simplicity. Like the lockscreen controls too. Shame it doesn't have a homescreen widget!
