Been using Pocket Tunes, and after reading about Mobile Shell perhaps being lighter on battery I'm giving it a go, just wondering if there is a widget for the Today screen at all that would allow me to skip tracks, etc from the Today screen rather than having to keep the program up?
Is there any music player thats not Pocket Tunes that would do this?
Regards,
Chris

Does anyone know of a Windows Media Player plugin for the today screen that works with version 10 of WMP. THe PHM plugin doesn't work with 10. Also I tried other programs like pocket music but they have bad integration with the operating system and voice command.
Thanks,
Daniel
Here it is...
WMP 10 plugin like IPOD with today screen plugin and portuguese operators configuration. If you do noy need install the 3 operators cab...inside
Thanks- I installed the .CAb but the today plugin only says "Play media files"- is it supposed to have controls- like Play, Stop , Next etc...
The Today Screen plugin opens WMP 10 with a IPOD Screen and on the screen, on the sides you have BIG controls that you can use .
I was looking for a plugin that allows you to control WMP from the today screen. Thanks anyway- also- i have a better Ipod skin that I uploaded here:
I accidently ran the optimus /cab and now my connections are screwed up-
how do I remove it?
FOUND ONE!!!

very simple no control on what to play. just play/pause next/prev and vol up/down it would be nice if we could atleast select a folder or playlist. everytime i start it, it plays my WMA tones! hahaha o well.
Ipod skin
Thanks for the very cool iPod Skin.

Good find, thanks
Why don't you give mortplayer a try, the today plugin for is is great
I have to say that anything that's not WMP just isn't good for the pocket pc (in my opinion) because of the lack of integration with the OS. For example, when I get a call it stops my music, then when i'm finished it resumes playing. As far as I know only WMP does this. Also, all the other players are too fancy for me- I don't need all those controls- just Play,Pause, Volume, and Next/previous track.
Although- does anyone know how to map other buttons. When I try to map other buttons besides the 5 "joystick" buttons it goes to that function. For example, if I choose mute and press "assign" and then press the contacts button- it switches me to my contacts. Same thing for my camera, phone, calander etc...
Any ideas??
Thanks!
ps- I love the iPod skin too!! I got it a while ago and can't find it anymore due to copyright issues. Good thing I saved it on my HD!
I actually found a newer version while seeing if what I wrote was true-
Here you go!
I'm prepping my phone for a nice long day at jury duty and I'm looking for an MP3 player prog complete with a today plugin so it's easy to control from the today screen. I tried searching but there's so many out there, I wanna know what you guys use. Thanks
I use MortPayer
Conduits Pocket Player is the best IMO, but it's not free.
I use PocketMusic, the basic version of which is free. Very nice player.
However when I was on Jury duty a few years ago, they made me leave my phone at their desk (certainly while I was in the courtroom, can't remember whether in the waiting room too).
Andre
You won't be allowed a phone in court and if you are seen with it you could be in serious trouble.
Oh they let us keep our phones. I guess they feel sorry that they leave us in the waiting room for 5 hours before taking us into the courtroom for another 3 hours. What a waste of a day, and they couldn't get a full jury so I have to go back again tomorrow
I'm surprised I was able to use it almost all day and it only got to 40% with Internet, video, and music. Definitely getting my money's worth with the phone right now.
Thanks guys, i'm trying out mortplayer right now
MortPayer does not support wma?

On my wizard, spb to play doesn't control the media player, but it acts as if it is a standalone player. If I start playing something in WMP, then go to the today screen and press play on the plugin, it starts playing a different song. I can play 2 songs at once, and the plugin just scrolls through all my music, insted of my current now playing, which is annoying, cos I have lots of music on my memory card... :?
just press play from the today screen...dont open windows media player...
thats what i do... :idea:
Can anyone recommend me a music like mp3 thing that lets me play music in the background but can also let me see wat song im listening to on the today screen and let me change the song like fast foward play pause all that stuff. Also i have the 8525 with 5.0 not 6.0 so can anyone tell me of a program? Thanks for the help.
you can use htc audio manager with the htc audio manager today plugin. but i dont know if it works in wm5
Where can i download it or get it?

Does it have a today plugin like wat i describe?
no, but you canuse ultimate launcher to put shortcuts on the today screen for ANY program...
I am curious, which player do you use and which is the best on the HD (no D-Pad). Which player makes the HD a real competitor to the iPod Touch / iPhone (in playing music).
I Like the Pocket Player. Nice Browsing through albums, many settingoptions, nice design.
I use the HTC one, it works and sounds pretty good ..
Coreplayer .... many many threads and posts about this ....
I'm trying out Pocketmusic (seems OK so far) as I can't get the TF3D thingie to work with more than a handful of tracks loaded, and anyway it seems a bit of a toy compared to what I've used before (pTunes on PalmOS), and it doesn't support .ogg files.

Btw, do you have any idea how to setup the fading in core player? you know, fading, so that when a song terminates the next one starts with 1-2 seconds overlapping, so it doesnt have the silence break..
thanks,

Pocket Tunes is very good.
But, they don't have a WVGA skin yet. One thing that I found to be useful is the good bluetooth handling they have and the redirection of podcasts to a mono headset.
Regards, D
you also have Kinoma Play. Excellent as music player.
GSplayer old but very good
Ive been using the TF3D-player up until yesterday when i installed Coreplayer.
The sound and equalizer is much better in Coreplayer.

But i think an intuitive interface is also very important. i like the interface of S2P but the coverflow is not very smooth. Currently i am using pocket player but i hope there will be some good ipod-like-mediaplayer soon.
TF3d music tab sounds way better than Windows media player..I just got coreplayer...I may start using it if the sound quality is better.
S2P for me!
As for me, I use S2P! I've been using it since it first came out, when I was using my "old" Touch. Now i've got the latest OpenGL S2P from A-C, and love it,think its a great player, and would recommend it to anyone.
But I do understand that everyone has their personal choice,so if u're looking for a music player, try several and see what suits you best!
I'm a huge MortPlayer fan, it plays my ogg files perfectly. The new beta version is MortPlayer 3.31 b76 which comes with a skin made for the HD resolution Highly Recommended.
I use "conduits pocket player". Amongst other things, it has the features I most want from an mp3/media player. The most important features for me are; The screen turns off at a configurable time, it has a configurable sleep timer, It pauses for phone calls and resumes playing on completion. I can control the pause and rewind (volume up and volume down buttons respectively) from my pocket. I think it is a great player.
I use HTC TF3D sound...
I'm testing Pocket Player - and so far I'm liking it. I just wish the default skin was nicer. So far I haven't found any other skins that are wvga and have the functionality + large cover photo like the default skin. And I wish you could navigate in full screen mode.
I tried the iPhone looking skin found in the xda forums, but the album cover is still too small (for my taste), and that skin doesn't have the functionality of the default skin.
So far the TF3D player and Pocket Player are my favorites (I've already tried all of the other ones on the poll list above). We'll see which one I end up using more often.
I used to use S2P but am happy with the HTC one, links up with my BT headphones and sounds quite good.
No winamp on its way to WM 6.1?
I am using MortPlayer for all music playing, it even wakes me up in the morning (that was the reason I started using it back in WM5 times: it was able to "awake" my HTC Wizard, while the implemented clock was not ...)
But MortPlayer is much more than this, it is easy to listen to live audio streams, MP3, OGG files and to create playlists or run through folder collections. A great player, indeed!

TF3D - simple and good audio quality. Composing playlist is somehow difficult because you dont see the full ID3 info. Loading takes some time when you have many audiofiles and to say the truth .... i don´t have soooo many - about 1-2GB only.
All other players have one problem, i have to start them, they don´t look as cool as TF3D and aren´t so user/thumbfriendly as TF3D - except for Mortplayer carscreen.
I'be finally gone and left touchflo3d behind. All the new roms were too slow, had too many bugs, I now have a nice clean 6.5.1 rom and the only shell running on top is SPB mobile shell 3.5.
I like it a lot, there's only one thing I miss, and that's the touchflo music player.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any stand alone player like it.
I don't like the way windows mobile media plyaer works, I've tried coreplayer, and kinoma play, and I just want a simple player, with easy access to my music, and more importantly an easy way to construct new playlists on my phone.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
The only player which looks a bit at that tf3d player I know off, is WM integrated in Titanium. If you don't like that option, you might want to check if there's a player which integrates in spb shell.

Well media player sorta intergrates with the shell, but like I said, I don't care much for how that works...
I allready have the version of meida player with the new skin, but it's still media player, it's a ***** to create playlists on your device with that.
Thanx for the reply!
why don't you try S2P by A_C ................ that 's pretty nice player .
