How do I go about setting the playlist to use in the Touchflo music player?
I've been googling for ages, but havent found any useful info.
Am I the only one that thinks the music player is a tad half assed?
Thanks
To your question, for me theres only one solution. That was to get Coreplayer. Much better application to manage and listen to music aswell as videos.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
I have Coreplayer, but I prefer the convenience of the Touchflo player.
Anyways, figured out what I need to do.
- Open the Media player, and select Library
- Select on the drop down library option (top left) and ensure storage card is selected.
- Select Menu => Update Library
Once its finished, click Done.
- Select My Music => Album => All Songs by Album.
- Select Menu => Queue Up
- Select Ok and close the Media Player
Everything should now be listed in the Touchflo Library

Does anyone know of any today plugins for windows media player so that track information and controlling play/pause, next track etc can be done from the today screen.
I often find i start WMP, then while doing other things suddenly want to stop a tune playing etc, and have to go back into media player.
I know there's other programs like mort player that allow this, but is there any plugins for WMP.
I've tried PHM's pocket plus - http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/Plus/#PHMtWMP, but that doesn't seem to work with WMP10.
interested in this also... let me know if you find anything. thanks
been on a business trip and it's only now that i saw this post. here you go then; nice little app / today plugin that allows you to use your media player and control it from the today screen. it also gives you an extra option of displaying both battery and memory bars/indicators. the website is:
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/software/PPC_MP3_players.htm
scroll down and you'll "today player". clicking on it will give you this site:
http://www.todayplayer.com/
just copy the cab file and execute it through your unit. from there; go to today settings and click on the box to allow the plug in to appear on your screen. it gives you a play button, stop, previous and next songs, etc. the note icon on the left gives you a bunch of options; best of all it gives you an option of "lights off" meaning the media player will continue to play even if the screen is off. the 3-bar icon on the right gives you the options of loading playlists which you make through your media player. it also allows you to load folders for songs and such. it also shows you the song currently being played.
the only drawback i see is that it's limited to playing mp3 and ogg only. i have a bunch of wma files somewhere and i had to convert them to mp3. but other than that; i like it.
cheers
This is a stand alone player and it's very nice (had it on my iPAQ) tried this on my i-mate JAM before and had some display issues were in the player would not refresh properly... I don't think it has been fixed as dev't on this application has been stopped.

Thanks, I did take a look at this, but was hoping for one that was actually integrated into WMP and not standalone.

Media Player Quick Launch
If you are looking for a free Quick Launcher for your Today screen for WMP - then you might want to check out this one - lots of free stuff but the top one seems to be what you are looking for. Haven't tried it myself - but looks to hit the mark - let me know how you get on...

This is what I want- when i start windows media player it has all the songs in my device loaded and all I need to do is press play.
But this is my situation now: when I start Windows Media player it goes directly to my library which is better than the alternative choice of it going to the player with no songs loaded-- but it defaults to my library of songs on "My Device" as it calls it.
How do I have WMP default to Storage Card- that way I don't need to use the stylus to change the directory??- ie- I ca use WMP by only using buttons.
Thanks in Advance,
Daniel
There is a registry tweak you can do to achieve this. Read this thread I started on the subject and towards the bottom is the registry setting you need to change
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22046
Thanks- that's awesome-
Do you know if there is a way to have you're whole library/playlist loaded when you start WMP ??
Thanks,
Daniel
Nope, sorry.
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
Chris
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

good question, I've been trying to create one ever since i got the phone without any luck. but what i did is not that difficult. I transferred a few playlists from my computer and the work ok.
Creating a playlist on X2 childish easy.
Go to native Windows Media -> Play File -> play it, and than from the Menu ->
Store the Playlist.
So all the files will be stored in playlist, you choose the name.
I made many of them, they all appear on SlideView.
Sorry. Could you elaborate more?I try to fiddling aroung with Media Player(Native) but the Playlist creation is there but when i open slideview and go to playlist, its say no track found.
What my wrong?
My easiest way, install TCPMP and load your favorite files and save the list as m3u-Playlist. Its working for me.
With best reguards

If you actually create playlist it should be in SlideView.
Maybe don't actually create it, do you?
It should be named by yourself....
For me it worked 100%.
I try its by, open media player(native), then open file(either by all folder), then I go to now playing, then again save playlist as what it is.
Then when I go to the slide view, the playlist title is there, but no track found.
I tried to double confirm its again by go to native media player then go to library then again select a playlist, then play, the track is available.
Maybe I miss the important step here, but please do let me know step by step if possible.
I've googling with my friend X1, its more easier with X1 to create the playlist comparing to this X2.
On all my WM mobiles have i Pocket Music Player my last version on my X2 5.3.5.
Great Software,cann Playlist create,Today plugin,Include great Equaliser ...

I'll try to assist tomorrow because I don't use X2 as my main device now.
But you miss something IMO. Which firmware you have?
It is soo simple..
OPen the Windows Media, Menu >> Open file >> Then select files or folder >> It will add the song /songs to the now playing list
then click on "Now playing" (on bottam, next to menu) >> Menu >> Save Paylist..

My Slide View show there is Playlist name,but no track
I have been trying to find a music player for some time, but I couldnot find a suitable for me. So I made mine and I am posting so you can use it if you like. This is a mp3 player which has these feautures:
- search (using the search button)
- can navigate to folders and see the songs (mp3, wav for now)
- add them to the playlist by clicking the icon on the left
- add the entire folder and subfolders by clicking the folder icon
- play songs by clicking the rest of the song
- view the playlist (the third button on top)
- choose random play or one song after the previous (from the playlist) (random is the default)
- choose non-stop music (when the playlist is over, restarts the playlist)
- save playlists and load them anytime
- delete from plalist by long clicking the song from the playlist
- a bar to navigate to any time in the current song
- View the songs by filename as in your PC.
- no ads
You can change from playlist to browser view by clicking the third button on top.
The default folder is /sdcard/Music/ so I suggest move the songs there within their folder
You can go up one folder by clicking back on your device.
It is created for 320x240 resolution.
v0.5
- fixed major bug with playlist and play songs.
- now folders an files are to be seen alphabetical.
v0.6
- better interface
- now mymp3 comes with an icon
- no title bar means more space for the list
v0.65
- fixed bug sometimes adding folders(maybe not even noted it)
- feels like pressing buttons now
- minor other bug-fixes
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Waiting for your opinion

can you also add functionality that when you play random and the music player is closed, the next time you start the app the previously random played songs arent played again until all the songs in the playlist are played? Closing the app in that way does not make him start fresh. It is to prevent playing the same song much more often than other songs.

This plays the songs just once. I think you mean to remember the last playlist when you start the app? (and the songs that already been played?)
Yeah, but then you need to be able to randomize the list. Besides that, when a list is very very long, it is no fun to scroll to the right song.

Glad you like it.
If anyone is willing to design a nice icon for the app let me know.
Also any new ideas are welcome.
I just fixed the bug not playing songs with a capital letter in their path when restoring from last playlist.
fixed a major bug
way better interface. Althought it appears a bug when I press to clear the playluist and it moves to the next song
Screenshots please looks promising. Good work.

Can you like add a feature to it so that it can read lyrics embedded in the song's id3 tag? I don't find any that does that on the market.
