Help with video/music - HD2 General

This may seem a stupid question to all you clever people My previous phones have sort of integrated the music and video's from my storage card to the video and music icon's on the phone.( never had windows phone)
Can I only access these files via file explorer/storage card????

Can anyone help????

Ok don't panic.
Good on you for taking the plunge.
It is not like itunes which is a clunky, crappy way to do things.
Do you have a pc?
If so, use Windws media player to convert cd's to mp3's.
Or use Nero.
I personally use Nero, but there are many ways to convert files to mp3.
If you already have mp3's then all the better.
You can copy them to your sd card and then go online and the HD2 will find album cover art for your music.
pm me if you want help.

Windows Media Help

Hi...
why is it that when i play a movie on WIndows Media, it lags? like it skips.
the file im playing is a .wmv file. This movie is stored on a 1GB SD card. is it because i have too much stuff on my card? i have used about %50 of the card. please help.
is there another player that doesnt lag. or is the problem with me having too much stuff on the card?
pocketMVP have an cache option you can turn on but i dont think it support wmv but most people get divX and mpg anyway
also make sure the video size is not much bigger then what the screen can display otherwise it just require tons of extra transfer which is not being displayed
still need help
Hm, i'm using Gsplayer or WinamPAQ for audio files. In my opnion they are the best.
I had the same problems with hi-res ish large downloaded .wma files aswell.
The reason is stated above.
If you rip the wma. file to something your ppc can handle you wont have a prob.

Sync and Convert Music

Hi Everybody,
Up to 3 hours before I considered iTunes the curse of the iPhone platform. Since then I have been trying to sync my music to my HD2. Now I consider iTunes a blassing...
So my problem is relatively simple. These are my requirements:
I want to transfer songs from my library to my HD2 and convert them on the fly to lower bitrates.
I want album art to be preserved at the transcoded files.
My player of choice used to be Winamp. Unfortunately though, it has two severe problems: it doesn't copy album art to the transcoded files and it fails to link the device's transcoded copy with the media library's master. So if I hit "sync" on aplaylist twice, the whole list gets transcoded AGAIN. Let alone that I dont have album art...
Then I tried WMP12 on Win7. There I didn't get too far: the transcoded files *have* to be WMA and my HD2 fails to play them at all! To make things worse, the files dont even seem to have tags at all, they all appear under "unknow artist".
Does anybody have *ANY* solution to this? I really want to avoid transcoding files manually and I don't think that I will manage to do it...

Noob Needing Help with Media Player/HTC Player

I would like to use Media Player to manage my music. However, I also have an iPod that I'd like to continue using. Currently iTunes contains 15,000+ songs. I would like to put about 1000 songs on my HD2. Can someone tell me:
1. Can Media Player manage mp3 and m4a files?
2. Can I keep all of my music in the current iTunes directories?
3. Can I use Media Player without creating duplicate files?
4. Will all Media Player playlists be independent of iTunes and not cause problems?
5. Can ratings be added to mp3 and m4a files in Media Plyer without corrupting the files for iTunes?
I saw a instruction list somewhere on this forum that had a step by step setup process for Media Player to the HD2., but can't find it. Can someone point me to it.
Thanks in advance.

all you need is itunes agent - have used this for quite a while to sync music to my former N82 and my present HD2.
ita.sourceforge.net
Follow these steps:
1) Create a playlist in itunes with the songs you want to copy over
2) connect your memory card via a USB card reader (or connect the HD2 in data transfer and not active sync). It is important that the memory card is represented as a drive in Explorer
3) Follow the instructions on the itunes agent documentation: ita.sourceforge.net/docs.html
let us know how it went...
p.s - mods: unable to post external URL's. Could you pls verify my account? Thanks in advance!

Works well, nowhere in the instructions did it mention you manually have to set up your device in the preferences, but yeah, once you do that it's smooth sailing.
It's actually pretty amazing you can sync with iTunes, never thought that would be possible.
Have to give the phone a soft reset for Sense's music player to display the newly synced songs unfortunately. It's a real shame they couldn't bring this core part of the phone up to scratch and make it useable. If I wasn't tech savvy I would really, really despise this phone.
Lets see how long it takes Apple to stifle this innovation. Hopefully they wont find it as its a small sourceforge project...
Shhhh! Don't tell anyone!

Thanks for the responses. I have Pocket Tunes, which is OK for moving iTunes music to and from the HD2. However, I'm specifically interested in understanding how Windows Media Player works with HTC's player for organizing music.

Media Player/HTC Music Player and iTunes/iPod Use

I currently have all of my music (15,000+ songs) set up for use with Itunes/iPod. I would like to try to use Windows Media Player with the HD2. However, I am concerned about letting Media Player access my files that are currently cataloged in iTunes.
1. Can I set up Media Player so that it accesses the mp3 and m4a files but doesn't copy or move the files from the iTunes folder?
2. If I add the music to the Media Player system, can I rate the music in the Media Player without changing or disrupting the music files themselves?
3. Can Media Player playlists be created without disrupting the iTunes system?
If you currently are using Media Player/HTC Player AND iTunes/iPod successfully, can you tell me if there are any issues that need dealing with? Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player. I'm assuming that using Media Player to create lists is easier and more secure than creating lists from manually copied files.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way I recommend which I my self did is Find your Itunes library on your computer copy it to your HD2's storage Card and from there do whatever you like.

From my original post: "Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player."
As far as I know you should delete songs from the folder that you have your music in it usually on your storage card that should not be any problem,another way is that you use the ActiveSync to sync your music files from your computer to your device,in this way whenever you add or delete a music file on your PC it will be automaticaly synced to your Phone,this sure is the better way.

Music problem

Hey guys I'm having problem with music on my dhd
I'm using Isyncr for mac to put my itunes libary on the sd card but when I open the music about 10 artists work then the rest go under unknown artist and it shows song time as 00.00
I used this app on my old nexus one and it was fine??
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated thanks
try just copying and pasting to the sd card instead of using and intermediary application if it works fine doing it that way then its probably a problem with the program
if they are AAC they might not playback most devices ive owned will not play AAC, AAC seems to be a format mainly supported by apple
Nope no still no luck, i copied over and its still doing it. There deffo mp3 files.. i dont know why its doing it.
Anyone else got any idea?
I have the same problem.
I'm really disappointed with the music player. It's basically a bag of s**t unless ALL your MP3s have the exact correct tags (album, artist, etc).
Most of my MP3s have "Unknown" or "Disk 1" as the album tag. So the music player puts all these into the same "folder".
Does anyone know how I can get the music player to navigate the SD Card correctly and just play a friggin folder??
I'm getting really frustrated with it!
Thanks
