Got a new CDMA Hero (on Sprint).
In the Manage Applications section, there are a bunch of applications listed there e.g. Streaming Media Player, Ringtone Trimmer etc that I don't seem to have access to/aren't available.
These apps have 0b file size...does this mean they aren't actually on the phone? If so, any idea why they would show up at all?
Will I just have to wait for rooting to be possible on CDMA phones and flash it?
Cheers for any help.
hahaha you made me get out of my chair and check out my Hero for this...
to answer your question, yes we do have this. but they are not standalone apps, as much as they are services within another app.The ringtone trimmer is accesed from the music app where you press 'menu' and it gives you the option to trim a ringtone before setting it as default (made me realize i dont need ringdroid, thanx) and im guessing that streaming media player only kicks in when needed
thanks for the info on the ringtone trimmer.
any idea where the streaming media player application would be invoked?

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
im leary about buying this pocket player, because i downloaded for my htc hd2 and it wont play any music files or vid files, i went to to associations in settings and there not checked, and it will not allow me to check them.
is the pocketplayer compatible with the HD2?
change settings / associations
bought it 1 month ago, very happy with it, only listen to audio books not tried video (tcpmp meets my needs) in order to select an item settings/associations tap on the item you want to select, it will hilight then bring up keyboard and press enter, hope this helps. ps works perfectly on my hd2
thanks alot for your reply!! ive been wanting to try to find agood player.
i finally got the settings down now thanks to you!!
next question.. ive went to menu, options library and added my storage card\ music. then tried to play ANY files on my storage card but it wont play or add any of them? and they are all mp3??? they all added fine on windows media player on htc, and they all add fine tcpmp, and coreplayer, but they won't add in pocket player? but it has added all the os ringtones? and custom ringtones ive added to the ringtones folder on the device(not storage card) also it did find my videos. all avi's and it won't play any of them?
any other tips would be appreciated. i dont wanna buy a product that i cannot even get the trial to work!
Thanks for your time and patience!
To make "checking" work, you MUST enable virtual keyboard. Use up/down and enter keys.
BT keyboard also does the trick.
This is a common issue of WM 6.5. I have same problem with pocket player too.
still doesnt work .. this is sad for me caus eim a comp tech and consider myself VERY tech savy. so sorry guys
ive watched while its scanning folders, and it never goes to storage card? just scans... is c program files flip disc? wont goto storage card, and in pocket player settings library folder it shows i have \storage card\music and \storage card\video to monitor for files. and i DO NOT have c program files\flip disc selected.
adding files from memory card
as i said i only use it for audio books and dont use the library but i can tell you how i use it which might meet your needs (i assume "the library" allows you to select contents of a playlist via mp3 tags), i add a book via the "open folder" option this will recurse all sub
directories from the chosen folder and add them to current playlist. i then save the current
playlist via the browse->playlist option, as i said unless your music is well organized this might not suit.
i have just tried creating playlists via album and arist this worked fine all my files are on sd card. just checking are we talking about same player "conduits pocketplayer v4.1", have you tried emailing them, i found their tech support to be v efficient & helpful.
good luck, and happy to help
EDIT - my two pennies worth
works well with cheap ipod handsfree from ebay as play pause work
when device locked (important feature for me), it is currently my
audiobook player of choice beating out rockbox on old ipod, one less
gadget and playback speed adjust with constant pitch.

I've been using it (I assume you mean Conduit's version) for years now and am now using it on the HD2 with just the minor problem mentioned already (needing to use a soft keyboard to change settings).
Messing with Zoomify on it now, because I had some problems getting precise clicking on the bar where I wanted to jump ahead in a podcast.
If you're still having problems, send them an email - in the past I've found that they were very responsive to problems (same day replies).

Hey guys, new TMOUS HD2 user here but been with xda for a while
Couple questions concerning the built in sense music player/audio manager that I couldnt seem to find answers for...
1) Is there a way to get it to ignore certain folders containing music that I dont want added to my library?
2) Is there some kind of tweak that allows faster accessing of songs in your library? maybe at least an alphabetic scroll? (currently to navigate to a song, you have to kinetically scroll all the way to your song and this is a huge nuisance if you have a larger music library and, for example, are looking for a song/artist/album starting with Z)
3) Why does the music player always stop whenever the camera is activated? is there some kind of reg edit so that this doesnt happen??
I realize that there are other music players out there but i'd really like to get this one working properly especially considering what a nice piece of eye candy it is on sense
Hey i have downloaded the Gps Navi/Cop Tracker app "Waze V. 1.8" and I think once this app catches on and there are more users it will be a fantastic application.. especially with future releases making it run smoother...
This is a turn by turn navi, so basically it saved all the "sounds" from that app onto my storage card... Unfortunately this makes the sounds show up in my Sense Music player... This is something that i simply cannot allow...
My question is there a way where i can make all those music files hidden?? so that they don't show up in the music player anymore?? i remember i did something along those lines with a wallpaper picture... i had to use a registry editor and i changed the properties of that photo to hidden.. and then it didn't show up on my albums anymore.. Has anyone sucessfully done what i am talking about?? or am i the only person who downloaded waze... or i'm the only person that has an issue with the app sounds showing up in my music folder... and i honestly don't want to make a playlist either and not include the sounds...i have one library of music.. and i play all of them.. no playlists.. ever...
sp yea.. i'm sure you guys by now, get a handle on what i'm talking about and what i'm seeking to accomplish.. so any help would be greatly appreciated... any tips, suggestions or workarounds.. thanks guys
+1 on that, Music Player lists all my Ringtones which I don't want to be listed there.
Your post has just made me realize where all those mp3's have come from.
Having recently installed Waze, I hadn't noticed them until I installed the recent HTC Music Player update and assumed that had caused all the unwanted files to show up in the player.
Having looked a little closer at the offending files, they are definitely from the Waze install.
I have co-pilot installed on my SD card but none of it's sound files show up in the music player. I'm assuming they are also mp3's and if so how do they remain hidden and the Waze files are not??

I used Total Commander to go to Program Files> Waze > Sound
Then select File>Properties
Next tick the Hidden System and Change check boxes and click the Now button.
Waze sound files no longer show in the Music player!

Good to hear you are now sorted.
Oddly I didn't need to soft reset, but as long as you get the end result it's all good

I tried this method after installing the HTC Music update, but now it takes over 30 seconds for music to open and show the now playing screen with the album covers.
For the first three times i tried to open Music, I kept getting a "filesys.exe" error, tried to send the error report and the phone froze (like it always does when I try to send any report) so i had to soft reset about 4 times in a row.
Now it plays but is really slow and laggy.
None of this happened when i had all my tunes as individual tracks, no folders! All i wanted to do was get rid of the Waze sounds files and now i can't even play any music!!
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.66.405.2
Radio2.06.51.07
Protocol 15.30.50.07U
Did hiding the folder affect the voice turn by turn? Waze especially?
Edit: I did my own testing. Hiding the sounds folder in Waze did not affect voice turn by turn so if you have Waze, go ahead and hide those annoying sounds which appears in the music folder.
For the ringtones, if you don't have many, I suggest putting them in \Windows\Rings and for alerts put them in \Windows. This is because the music player sees the tones if you put them in \My Documents\My Ringtones (and as the previous poster found out, hiding them makes them inaccessible to all programs.
I tried hiding a folder I had on my storage card that contained my ringtones: whilst it hid them from the music player (once it rescanned), it also meant that the phone was unable to see the ringtones and thus failed to list them in the ringtone lists.
I gave up trying to find a registry setting for it and just changed the ID3 tags for all ringtones to say that they were by an artist called 'ringtone' in an album called 'ringtone'.
Contacting HTC Support suggested I create a playlist with all the songs I want in it -___-

same problem here, I need them as ringtones so hiding them is not an option
btw how can I add the music player to my startup list so it scans for the music when the phone starts? I can't remember the name of the file that was doing that, read it here somewhere but can't find it anymore :/
I am looking for any tutorials on creating a audio player app.
Basicaly i want to create an app that lists a selection of song to play with controls to play stop etc.
I would guess what most do is play these from a server to save on app size? or do they put the audio in with the app?
Anyway i have been hunting but not finding quite what i need.
I found one that plays from sd card but i want it to play only files i say.
Thinking about if it was streamed then that would use there data and if not connection they could not use so maybe streaming is not the way to go.
Anyway anyone any suggestions?
