I think it is. Well the features it has shows that it is.
I thought TCPMP was a player just something in development that was discontinued already, and now they offer the new Core players. ( could be wrong )

After thorough testing...I'll be sticking with TCPMP .72.
Constant slow downs, complete freezes that can only be resolved with a soft reset, random blue tooth drops (this was the most frustrating thing for me), the Qualcom Qtv display barely works and will not go fullscreen (so much for our video drivers hopes), it hates large playlists, and going in and out of full screen is excruciatingly slow. All in all...not something I'll be using on a daily basis, or something I can really use at all for that matter.
Pros:
Aside from my bluetooth headset connection dropping out all of the time and not being able to reconnect without a soft reset, it did work with my headset buttons which is something that I haven't been able to do in TCPMP .72
Video rendering did "feel" like it may have been better when using the "TYTN Drivers" setting in advanced with either Raw Frame Buffer or GDI...That may or may not have been my imagination though.
The You Tube function worked well, but there's a free program on here somewhere that I saw does the same things.
This version looks great in form, features, and user-friendly design, but in function, it's almost unusable on my Titan. This may not be the case if you have a device with more memory, so give it a shot if you've got better hardware because again, it does look good, but with memory low on my phone, it just doesn't work.

I tried out Coreplayer Mobile 1.2.2 and the youtube function was great, but ultimately it wasn't usable on my Titan.
I've used this, the tcpmp youtube hack, and the new app youtubeplay (current favorite btw, thanks milesmowbray)
Coreplayer offers the most features of all 3 for youtube. You can change which stream you get low, med, high (high forces the h264 version of the video) so POTENTIALLY you can get the highest quality with Coreplayer
Unfortunately, the driver situation being what it is on the Titan, the high quality video plays like a slideshow. I got the best performance in using GDI display, but even that was horrible.
I like the tcpmp youtube hack because it works with so many other video sites, but you can't choose which quality you get and some vids don't look so great (i'm an amateur filmmaker/editor read:video snob)
Youtubeplay has worked the best for me on youtube. some people have complained about stability, but I haven't PERSONALLY had any crashes. Besides, I'm so used to soft-resetting my low-memory Titan by now, what's one more time gonna hurt

TCPMP doesn't work on my htc wizard

hello, i have tcpmp on my phone but when i want to play videos it doesn't play. it disappear from the scren.... help please

It sounds like the files may be in an invalid format, you may be running out of memory, or your version of TCPMP may just be corrupt or buggy (or wrong version for Wiz).
Verify the files you are trying to play fall within TCPMP's format list:
Wikipedia said:
TCPMP supports many audio, video, and image formats, including AC3, HE-AAC, AMR, DivX, FLAC, H.263, H.264, JPEG, Monkey's Audio, MJPEG, MPEG-1, MP2, MP3, Musepack, MS-MPEG4-v3, PNG, Speex, TIFF, TTA, Vorbis, WAV, WavPack and XviD. It supports many container formats, including 3GP, ASF, AVI, Matroska, MPEG, OGG, OGM and QuickTime. Some formats, such as H.264, require a plugin, which may hamper performance.

And then close all other running programs, clear all your temp files, and try it again.
If that doesn't work, try unloading TCPMP and installing this version:
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.exe
It's the last stable version for PocketPCs before the project was converted over to "Core Media."
(You may have inadvertently installed the smartphone version, and that won't work, either.)

Thanks
Hi buddy!! thanks for the link... it works now! thank Q

[Q] MP3 Player ROM for HTC HD2

I have an old Leo laying around and I was wondering if there is any ROM out there that would turn my phone into an mp3 player.

Probably best going with a very light WM6.5.5 build & then using native music player or one of a few music apps such as MortPlayer to name a free one.
Sticking with WM will give good battery life & ability handle music over BT, audio output jack etc ...

File Formats?
But the question is, does it play flac and other formats?

Pocket player & coreplayer do ...

work fine on my wm6.5.5 energy rom, some HD2 owners on original roms had issues with Pocket player regardless of portable or cab install.

Well thanks for the info but I had installed android 2.3.7 on my phone. How am I supposed to install that windows ROM now?

Plenty of mp3 player support for android but I expect WM6 rom will give far better battery life & device life/stability & WM file structure is far more tidy than android making your music - media folders on storage card easy to maintain organise & browse if connect to share etc.
WM6 roms can be found in HD2 wiki along with WMDC to flash via PC.
If you go to WM6, I would try the Energy Reference ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#ROM_Development

OK, but how do I flash these roms over android. I've installed HSPL, Magldr and a custom recovery?

just plug it in to PC via usb & run the WM rom installer, it will flash the rom but your current HSPL will remain.
You could also flash a custom WM rom such as ->
energy http://www.mediafire.com/download/bhh47jlowm9zph6/Energy.Leo.23699.Sense2.5.Reference.Nov.24.7z
by putting the file on sd card & possibly using custom recovery or the good old fashioned way of boot to proper tri-color bootloader. using custom rom via SD will keep HSPL but if use full original rom it will remove current HSPL and possibly fail to flash if CID rom code does not match device.
If do via SD read post linked below>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317

Well thanks, I'll try it and let you know.

I find pocket player very good, you do need spend some time trying it though & adjusting settings as it quality software with many options unlike most of the android & iphone 5h1te of today.
I have the pocket player equalizer off & use the native HTC equalizer on custom setting & sound quality is superb on decent headphones & can shame most of the midrange modern junk.
Touch UI may not be the best on WM6.5.5 but it not bad & gets better with experience, same with Pocket Player, it may look visually dated but the actual software is proper quality ...

Why not use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867986 you then could have a light Android OS with the option of a good sat nav and a music player

I had put my HD2 away for a while now and thought I could use it as a mp3 (aux) for my car. Navigation is going to be a plus if it works.
Any suggestions for a good nav/maps app which can work with just gps and preloaded maps?
