I have a few questions and maybe some help with the new user interface called Bell UI, So far i really loved it
1. Is there any way to add new bubbles, since i don't pay for internet and most of the bubbles require internet.
2. Does anyone know how i can change the short cuts in the launch music player button to open windows media player, cause when i open it it say shortcut cannot be opened, this is so for other shortcuts too.
Any feedback would be much appreciated
Bell UI
To launch Windows Media Player, change the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> rtsp -> shell -> open -> command -> default to point to Windows Media Player executable.
I must Say that I love it and I could use the internet features with wifi in free hotspots.

Hi Folks, you are going to have to bear with a non-programmer, my question is with regard to album art and scrolling on WM. there are loads of threads on xda trying to emmulate the 'Apple' style scrolling media selector.
As most players do the same thing, (ie play music and video) creaing the scroll would seem to be a seperate issue. is there a plugin that allows thumnails to be visible on WM and combine this with touch control to allow the existing player to select and play the track/album/video?
this would give the element of selecting via the pics without the need to create a completely new player?
cheers for looking and would hope one of you folks could run with this idea

I agree completely. I just don't want a new player - wmp is fine for me and works well with Voice Command. I like the way it does album art and I think it syncs well with the desktop.
What we need is just something to launch the album or track in media player. The Library option in wmp needs fingers that are much smaller than mine!
The iContact application was perfect - a good scroller to find what you want and then go to the normal app.
Ideally it should look a bit like audio manager or the iphone-style.
Any programmers want to take this on?
temporary solution...
well i'm not a developper... me too I agree that windows media player is an excellent software as it also plays videos and mp4's which are also part of my music album... I've done a few things to make it seem like an iphone and more practical:
1. downloaded PlaylistMgr 0.6.2.1 (freeware), use it to create a playlist or edit it on my ppc. And i use the playlist as a shortcut on my today screen (i have spb4), this way it launches the play list directly and not have to select my music everytime. This includes all my music and videos
2. iphone skin for wmp from http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/media/wmp/wmpppc/?order=9&alltime=yes
3. I didnt know how to increase the playlist font, because i agree its too small so i increased the system font. Now most fonts (not all) are bigger, which has some advantages and disadvantages in other software (I used tweaks for that)
4. Use ftouchflo which allows me to scroll in the playlist
if any ideas let me know

Yeah, I did the same, create playlists for my music, and use righttoleft launch with ftouchflo to open the folder that holds them.
Never liked working with libraries.
Can someone elaborate how to create a playlist? I use WMedia and organize my music and I created a play list on the desktop and copied it onto my storage card under the folder 'My playlists' but it doesn't appear on the phone when I update it. Is there a way to create a playlist on the stock wing?
i have just purchased a HTC p6300 (xda Argon) all in all a so-so device but has got a bit of software in it that works well as a media selector - HTC Audio manager, allows you to select albums by file and works well with touch flo. only problem is that i dont know how to find the route files to copy and extract.. has anyone else seen or tried this? and if so does anyone have the cab? would really like this for my Wizard as well as this seems to be one of the best/easiest media selectors i have seen
Hi all,
I'm looking for a software like simplifymedia for Iphone. That means that I'm looking for a software that permit to listen to music which is stored in my personal computer. It would be great to be able to watch the video too but music is more important.
Somebody has a solution?
No response
I will respond to myself. I found Orb, but the client is a site to be used with IE, and is not very user-friendly. A dedicated application would be better.
Anybody know an other solution?
use Orb with Kinoma... awesome combo!
Kinoma how to start to use it
I downloaded the Kinoma Freeplay (do I need the full version : Kinoma play), I've installed it, and I lunch it, it ask for a product registration. I was thinking that the Freeplay version was free?
What I need to do?
Thanks
Simplify Media?
The closest thing to Simplify Media I've found is didiom for windows mobile or blackberry. didiom.com for more info
Just install Network plugins 1.0
Link http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
Then Map your music folder under Start-> Settings -> connections -> Network plugin
The maped folder will be in something like \network\"Computer Name"\"Music Folder"\
I use Core Player to stream the music
If you want a good sound quality with equalizers and lesson to music on your stereo Bluetooth headset, you can't rely on windows media player or HTC audiomanager. So far I tried all of the music player software on my HD2 but I wasn't satisfied with any of them. Previously I used the PocketPlayer 4.1 on my HD and that was really amazing, but when I changed my PDA to HD2, I really disappointed because I couldn’t control the playback with my Bluetooth headset. As you know the Option menu of pocketplayer cannot changed on winmo 6.5; therefore, if you want to change the setting, you must do it through the registry.
If you want to use this software as your music player and control it via your Bluetooth headset you can follow these steps:
1- Disable the HTC audiomanager (disable the music tab on manilla).
2- Install PocketPlayer 4.1.
3- Execute the application and go to Menu->More->Options and select the Plugins tab.
4- Touch "Update now" link and install the Conduits WM Adapter (your phone must be connected to the Internet).
5- Exit the software through the Menu (Not the X button) after the plugin is installed.
6- Go to registry HKCU->Software->Conduits->Pocket Player->Plugins->gen_wmhostand and change the entry {B71FB....} from 0 to 1.
7- Save the changes and soft reset.
That’s all. Please note that if you open the windows media player, it override the Bluetooth control. So, to use this tweak you must not run the media player.
I've been using the PocketPlayer since yesterday and the sound quality and volume is much better than the media player and audiomanager. Also, it is pretty satisfiable than my previous HD.
of course you can change the options of conduits pocket player on winmo 6.5.
Just go to the options tab, double-tap the option you want to change, open the keyboard and tap on ENTER.

Sorry my bad. I didn't know that.Thanks for the tip.
Just installed CPP 4 and it literally slowed my device to a snails place; had to reset (which took a couple of minutes to enable!)
I am considering buying HD2 and use Pocket Player everyday.
I would be grateful if people can answer a few questions:
- The method provided above (using the keyboard to access menus) work for any menu function? Including Options?
- If so, were you able to assign buttons for functions? I use a lot "back 10 seconds" and "play/pause" and would like to assign them for the "arrow" button or "windows" button (as ther is no media button on the device). Is this possible?
- considering slowing down the device, is it everyone's experience? Did you try installing to SD card (worked with me on Kaiser, despite some random slow downs)?
Thanks so much.
I have my HD2 and my home pc connected to the same wifi router, and basically i want to use the media player on the HD2 to access music files on the home pc. Now, i have managed to use resco explorer's network function to map the shared folder, and i can open it in resco, tap a music file, and play it, but how to play a whole album/folder, like i normally do in the media player? Its almost as if i need a proper path available in the system's own file explorer, which i can then select in any application?

I just use Orb so other than that no idea.
Nice. Just trying orb out now, just a bit curious as to why it's free, and on such an expensive looking server and ui as well!?? Where do they get their money?
Hi, I have been using Windows 7 Media Center application on my PC in connection with plasma TV, DVB-S2 SAT cards and DVB-T cards as main multimedia center at home with connection to XBOX and sharing all my digital media content (photos, movies, music, TV) around the whole family for years.
I was looking forward the new version of this application, and have been disappointed by the decision, that there will be no NEW application, at least Metro style face lifted. But at least, there is the old one included as a option for download. But what I do not understand, there is missing option in settings of the Media Center which enabled to run application right after the startup of the OS. Does anybody figured out how to start the application automatically? I have tried to put it to Startup folder, but this somehow does not work - the app was running in background and has not been visible.
