I have experienced this everytime i use pocket player.
After listening to music, i click menu, exit player and then come back to my today screen. After this everything becomes very laggy. after clicking on the start menu, each item is filled after about half a second each.
When i open messaging, the scroll doesn't work, the messages take an eternity to open.
Now i noticed taht the memory usage is the same at before (for me it's 32%)
I looked at the running processes and pocket player process is not runninganymore. I dont have touchflo, i use the SE panel.
Any ideas why this is happening?
After a soft reset everything becomes fine.
yeah, I got the exact problem as you!! I think it's the problem of the player itself. Can anyone recommend any other players, except the pocket music player? I think the sound quality of pocket music is not as good as conduits pocket player.
I did a series of experiments and found out that the phone becomes laggy if you have the equalizer on in the player.
I also found out that, if you keep your eq on, listen to music all you want, but switch off the eq and let the player run for a minute or so, then the phone stabilizes... Can anyone confirm this..?
Thanks guy, I tried to stop the EQ and found that everything is fine, no more laggy. But without the EQ, the sound quality is not good. So, I use Pocket Music to play music and Conduits pocket player for AVI files.
I also tried to turn on the EQ and then stop for 1 min, I found that everything is smooth too!
I am also using Conduits Pocket Player 3.71, with EQ on + the high quality EQ-setting and my X1 is not laggy at all. After exiting the player, and I am returned to the today panel my X1 is as fast as usual. Not using the Pocket Player today plugin though.
I am using the original ROM with only a few system tweaks + SD Tuneup.

Ok so I never really cared about music... but my new job (yes got a new yob during a recession!!!!! was only laid off errrr 3 week vacation as I see it...)
anyway...
I now have to take the train to philly... and I listen to music on my mogul...
I tried TCPMP but I dont have stuff setup as a playlist yet....
I then used Media Player which was easy... but for some reason it kept on randomly changing songs....
the audio manager in the rom i am using was working then started acting up.. but now im trying a new rom Titan Reloaded M2D 1.4 beta 2 by bitserve
so gonna try using the touch flo music part.. has a shuffle so will see...
anyway what do you recommend?
media player was easy... and you can rate the songs.. but no way to play your list by rating....
i just dont want an ipod... I used to carry all kinds of stuff... pda, cell, external gps, etc.. now I have it all in 1... and love it...
for videos I use WMP. but for songs I use S2p that works almost like the Itouch. just play lists not too sure about.
for WMP. I usually like to put the music in different folders on the card by genre. que them up and make a playlist so on and so forth.

i did install s2p before I left for work.. so far it is cool... can turn mogul off and it still plays....
minimal features but has what I want so think it is a winner...
thanks!
Jeff
since we are talking about s2p, has anyone had a problem where it takes s2p like 3-5 seconds to load a song everytime the song changes. What also came with that problem is that it takes a lot longer for s2p to close andbring me to the home screen. I just sit at a black screen sometimes for 10 seconds till i get to the home screen. If anyone has a solution i would love to hear it
edit: all my files are organized in a nice structured format sdCard/music/BandName/Album/track i dont know why its doing it but its definitely weird
edit(2/26/09): i uninstalled s2p cleared all reg values and everything with skTools and reinstalled s2p and works fine again.
i am not too sure. I loaded mine on the card but other than that ot too sure.

You can also check out Nitrogen. I really like the program and can be found on the "Development and Hacking" on the main page if you search for it.
I prefer to use Media Player. I program S2U2 to button 5, so I just start my music, hit button 5, and my phone turns off quickly and my music keeps on playing. The media player is much more palatable with a skin.
I am assuming you checked your shuffle button on media player to make sure it is not on?
Greetings all!
I have the entire collection of MDB's Beautiful Voices Compilations, which consists of 40 gapless albums - so far - of Chillout bliss of different genres; essential for driving down the crazy streets of Cairo. I recently lost my iPod so I gave my X1 a try as a music player in my car today; copied one of the albums to my memory card and I was all set. The sound quality through AUX was pretty much the same (if not slightly better when it comes to bass) as that of the lost gadget.
Moving on to the important point, I noticed when playing this gapless album while the phone was on the “Media Panel” (Bluetooth Headset connected) that the files don't switch smoothly; sound stops for almost two seconds between tracks. The freeze is also there if I play the album from the “On the Road Panel”. I didn’t experience any noise what so ever when both players would move on to the next track.
I used the search function and couldn't find any threads about this. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Is it well known? Is there a fix?! It's something that I can live with but I have like a 100 gapless albums in my library so it would be nice if I can manage to fix it.
Running R3A Generic UK ROM, no junk, no cracked software!
Note: Gapless Albums:
I'm quite sure you're all familiar with the term but for those who are not gapless albums are supposed to sound like one long connected track with no breaks what so ever, like listening to a live concert, or an Electronic music set, e.g. Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise, etc...
I know only 2 players who play gapless : Pocket Music, and Pocket Player. I use Pocket Player, it's pretty as nice as my iPod nano 2G.
+1 for pocket player. The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes a few seconds to open and is a tad slow to redraw when switching orientation. Great player though. Media browser as nice and easy to use as an ipod. Download the free fully functional trial. To turn gapless on, turn crossfade on and drag the overlap slider to zero.
Thank you all!
Thanks for the tip. I purchased Pocket Player. It sure works its way around gapless albums. But I'm in love with SE's media panel. I hope someone may find a solution for that soon.
I posted about this problem a couple of pages ago. I did some additional observations and it seems that the Audio Booster has a main problem with windows media player (and all the players that use the media player engine, like the HTC Music player, s2p etc.)
However, when I play my music with Conduits Pocket Player I have no problems whatsoever with the Audio Booster. (Fortunately...)
Maybe it's my partical device which is fooling with me, maybe not. I don't know. Are there others users experiencing simular issues with the Audio Booster?
Same issue here... I think it is a massive bug in it.
As I experienced it is stop when the device is go to standby (or I send to there) and happening after the player is jump to the next song. It isn't randomly. I can do it anytime.
Just try it:
Play music - turn on the Audio Booster - go to standby - wait for the next song - go back from standby =>>> The Audio Booster is already OFF
Sad story... I hope they will repair soon.

I experienced that it turns off after each song, I fixed this by pressing the home button rather than the Done softkey, this keeps it running in the background.
Just a quick question. Do you guys have a lot of music files on your MicroSD card? I have 14 gig of music, maybe the music app can't handle that.
Furthermore I have all my album art embedded in the mp3 files. Maybe that causes the booster to quit?
I ask this because I'm really astonished that this problem isn't reported much more on HD2 fora.
I have only 4gig so I don't think so that is the problem.

You mean using for example CorePlayer 1.3.5 is not detected the problem? Maybe as a temporary solution and we could see how to change the CorePlayer and application of music by default (if it works) because even though we're listening to music with another application which not either HTC or Windows by pressing the button on the remote change of composition of the headphones these applications are launched.
Told me I look good, the translation is from google but may not express myself clearly enough.
Anyone know of a good music player which has a resume function for each track?
I had Pocket Player on my HD2 which allowed me to stop one track, play another and then go back to the first track and continue where I left off. Used it a lot on audiobooks.
Alternatively, something that will allow me to set a bookmark on different tracks.
Even better would be one that does that and also still has music controls on the lockscreen like the stock player.
Not sure if I've come across anything like you want specifically for music.
If it's just for audiobooks, then try Ambling BookPlayer. It's pretty good at auto bookmarking what you are listening to, and comes with a widget too to play and pause books.
I'm using Ambling BookPlayer now and it's very good, particularly for my audiobooks and recorded drama. It's a bit of work to load the mp3 files into its library as it doesn't recognise the m3u playlists I have and it does not natively support album art but I liked it enough to buy the Pro version.
Mortplayer
Mortplayer Audiobooks in the market. Free. I used to use Mortplayer in WinMo and this seems much the same. Very reliable at saving where you are in each track. I have only used the android version for a few days but it seems OK and the WinMo one was rock solid, even picked up where I left off before a soft reset. Oh and there's a widget for it and it shows in notifications.
Worth a try.
im using mix zing lite
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.

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:

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?
