Servus @ all,
end of the week i have my xda diamond
I have read many Threats about the Diamond in this Great Forum.
My Favorit Audio Codec is FLAC and my simple question it is Possible to Play FLAC Audio Files with my Diamond ?
No Windows Mobile 6 Version of Foobar or VLC exist, only a FLAC Codec for Windows CE.
Regards
Conduits Pocket Player has a FLAC plugin. It's a nice player too, probably worth the money.
CorePlayer plays FLAC too.
Built-in Media Player doesn't. (of course)
I play FLAC with Core player but the sound isn´t so good I think there´s something with decoding..and I tryied different files with same results. When I converted these files to wma the sound was better
i guess both chipset and audio-driver of the diamond aren't worth the wasted space with FLACs. even mp3s sound a lot (!) worse than on my 5 year old ipod mini.
Got no problem with sound quality of mp3s or wma..and don´t think that ipod is better And about FLAC still hope that it´s an issue of codec and not HW

I haven't done a blind test yet but I think FLAC sounds better than mp3 in Pocket Player.
Naturally it should sound better I tryied only Coreplayer n there is some little distorsion will try pocket player
Servus @ all,
THX for the Informations, about FLAC and the diamond.
Soundquality
I think the secret of FLAC is the higher Bitrate MP3 Bitrates are even lower.
This can be the Problem why the Audioquality by Playing FLAC with the Diamond
is not so good.
CPU Power has the diamond but i think it is a codec problem.
When i get my diamond this week i try this self
Best Regards @ all
So now I tryied Pocket player with Flac pocket player plugin 1.24 n it seems that it plays clear Now I only played one file so will testing more, but this one seems good for now
edited: I´m pretty sure that HW in Diamond is capable of flac decoding!!
Hmm. Strange. I always use CorePlayer on my Raphael, and FLAC seems to play fine for me.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for the best mm player for my Jam...
I'd like a player that:
- can works in background
- can play all the mm format (audio/video) such as: mp3, ogg, mpeg, avi,wma divx ecc...
- the player have to stop when I'll receive a call or text and then play again
- the player have to don't use the standard configuration fot the power management (es: I configure my Jam to shutdown after 3min. but if I play mp3 I don't want this!)
The Win media player 10 it's very nice for example but how can i add the plugin fro divx, ogg and all the other fromat?
Any other mm player application?
try this
Think TCPMP is the best.
http://cc.serveftp.org:8884/tcpmp/modules/news/
I think that Betaplayer and TCPMP are the same now
Yeah, TCMP is the newer version of Betaplayer. Dunno why they renamed it, but oh well. Whaever floats their boat!
A good music player is MortPlayer. A good video player is the already mentioned TCPMP. You can also find plugins for the WM to play Divx movies and so on but I would recommend the above combination.
Man, except for TCPMP (aka BETAPLAYER), there aren't any mediaplayers that support all those features...
is there a way to play AAC file (ipod) with WMP 10
I'd like to find a player that can play AAC file (ipod).
I tried Nero ShowTime Mobile which is good but doesn't stop correctly when you get a phone call
Is there a way to play AAC file with WMP10?
Hi guys!
I tried TCPMP and it's really nice but...
I'd like the player in "pause" when I receive an incomming call and with TCPMP I can't find the option to configure it... seems to continue to play but with no sound.
How does it works?
Talking about TCPMP.
A fiend of mine gave me an MP4 movie file which he had on his PSP.
I figured as TCPMP plays MP4's it would be as simple as transferring it onto my device and playing via TCPMP.
It works in the sense that i get great video, but there is no audio.
I get the following message at the beginning:
AUDIO CODEC (MPEG4 AAC AUDIO) Not supported by the player. Decoder was removed from the official install package.
Is there anything I can do to resolve the audio with this player. Or should I use another player?
That problem would be fixed if you had the same codec that Namelous is after (3 posts up). TCPMP comes with the MP4 video decoder, but need the AAC audio decoder to run, as most MPEG-style movies are encoded with separate video and audio. If you were to rip a movie to your hard drive from a dvd to Mpeg 2, more often than not you'd have audio encoded in MP3, so you'd need both the Mpeg 2 and MP3 codecs on your system.
Good luck finding an AAC codec for PPC. If you do, please let me know as I've been looking too!
What about Soundexplorer? (obviously not for video...). It also records sound (much players don't). I like it very much.
Looks like PocketMusic has an AAC plugin.
Haven't tried this program yet, but would love feedback if anyone does (like does it pause music on an incoming call, how is the equilizer, bass boost, overall usability, etc.?)
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I went ahead and downloaded the trial version on my MDA Pro and like it a lot! Doesn't play movies of course, but the equilizer is pretty good, and it pauses your tunes on incoming calls. Other features like mapping to the hardware buttons, big finger-sized screen buttons, skins, cross-fading, and an alarm clock make it nice.
AAC Plugin...
Google give:

It's illigal in some countries, but when you are not living in them you can try this.
Dear all,
I want to play some videos I have (avi's) on my spv (uk orange rom). I installed TCPMP .72 and said yes to the bit when it told me it was going to disable something to do with the ati chip and soft reset needed (which i did).
My screen goes haywire every time i load my video whether i click on directdraw or ati in options.
The avi has been reduced to 320*240 in pocket divx encoder.
Please help!

PS whats the best mp3 player for the pocket pc?
Here's all you need to know: (Use Raw Framebuffer in TCPMP or Coreplayer)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285280&highlight=trinity+raw+framebuffer
Good Luck.
Oh, as far as mp3 player, the only way I can get solid bass with the Dopod GPS rom is to use WMP with files encoded as aac. Mp3 sound sucks on that rom. However, I haven't tried LVSW's new cooked HTC rom which supposedly has a bass patch for mp3. Best player irrespective of its performance on Trinity...Coreplayer by a mile.

I've been ripping music from Sky Satellite radio temporarily, I'm not going to rerip all my music. I'm using an aac decoder that makes .m4a files. They sound fine in WMplayer with full bass. I tried the same file in the TCPMP player with the aac plugin...no dice. It has to be the stupid WMplayer . I can't wait for the fix for this sound issue.
I guess this is a general question for all.
I'm using
core player for movies
pocket player for music
Anyone else?
TMPCP for videos and MortPlayer for audio, both are very reliable and easy to use.
Same as GAMBIT999, TCPMP and MortPlayer. Good and free
coreplayer/tcpmp for video
mortplayer for audio
still waiting for coreplayer to bring AVRCP support to use it for both video/audio usage...
btw, an 1.1 update is scheduled for june 18
I tried TCPMP last day, but the video didn't play "fluently"... what could be the problem? Thaks
I use both TCPMP for music and video..
I use default Windows Media Player...
To me music is more important than tool

That's why I use a player that can quickly and easily switch between wanted songs, save power for a longer listening and play each format of my files

I have the same problem. The video does not play continuously with the TCPMP (Core) Player. I have had this problem with most players when playing a higher resolution video. Does anyone know of any player which plays avi files smoothly on a Prophet.
Thanks,

I suggest you re-encode your videos to suit the power of your device.
GSPlayer for audio
TCPMP for videos
Hey everyone.
Wanted to find out if Coreplayer is worth buying for the HD2? Currently just installed myplayer app and forced to switch the player to WM player but wondering if the quality of streaming or video playback is better in coreplayer?
I'm not too fussed right now about codecs and functionality although no doubt I will be in a few weeks when i dont have a codec for a video but I'm wondering if there are any improvements in purely video quality only in coreplayer compared to WM player?
Thanks

hey dude...i have both installed and i have few dvd that i have ripped onto my phone by using spb mobile dvd. I have viewed videos through both players...and they both works fine and could not tell any difference, however what i have noticed is the buttons on coreplayer are more responsive, for instance you could fast forward a track or video easily rather than the WM player
i hope that helps
The main advantage i have found with coreplayer is watching internet TV streams. These seem to sun much smoother.
for the best performance/video quality its best to recode video to MP4 and use the htc album player to watch the movie/documentary about maggie thatcher (or whatever source you have)
The main disadvantage of the CorePlayer is a lack of AC3 sound codec compatibility.
When you open a movie with sound in AC3 - it just won't play.

And WMP plays AC3 fine?
To me Coreplayer seems to be way faster, plus it plays most videos without converting.. wmp does not play any of my avis..
Hi all..
Is there anyway to get the standard HTC mediaplayer (coverflow etc...) to play OGG files?
It works in Coreplayer but not the standard player (which is what I prefer to use).
Thanks
Sorry mate - CorePlayer or conversion. That's your options.
Thanks... that is such a shame.. I don't have many OGG's but enough to not want to convert them all again (and probably lose quality).
I'm not sure how it compares to OGGs, but MP3 can be converted to VBR as well, so it may make no difference to quality. Get a trial version of Sony Sound Forge - it'll do a batch conversion for you.
VBR?... erm as a format? MP3 generally uses a variable (VBR), average (ABR) or constant (CBR) bitrate encoding method for various types including MP3. OGG is a different format, the quality is comparable to MP3 really but I believe the files are smaller.

Yeah they are. Most people rip MP3s at a fixed bit-rate, which is why I said about VBR. That's the only reason I've used OGG before now.
I was just pointing it out in case you didn't know. File size is obviously a different story though!
Ah ok... I generally use ABR 160kbps LAME for MP3....
a an aside... my first ever MP3 was in 1997... long before the iPod etc... how times have changed
ogg's for the same size file at VBR do play a little better than mp3 - if you play them one after the other, you can hear the difference, there is more "body" somehow to an ogg. The real advantage for me is that ogg will always offer gapless playback, so if 2 or more tracks run into each other, then the ogg will play as one continuous sound, mp3 will judder as it goes from track to track.
Ogg is much better really - shame it is not supported better in "standard" players - I normally use the Pocket Player on WinMo, great player with a great range of playable formats.

I think I'll just convert them to MP3...
Dpes pocket player have touch screen coverflow though?.... thats one of the things I mostly miss when not using the standard HTC player (especially in the car).

Not sure what you mean by coverflow. Pocket Player is finger friendly for the most part - why don't you download a trial?

Will do cheers for that!
