Finally, its for WM5, here:-
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/
A very solid player with many effects settings

hm.. still beta version..
but its ok...

Hi FOSA,
I have not tried GSPlayer yet since I use TCPMP to play both my MP3s and movies. Can you give a reason why GSPlayer is better in playing MP3s?
Plus, does it work well on the EXEC?

Tried it but it doesn't play WMA files, TCPMP miles better...

Uh?
well in my opinion GSplayer rulez only bcuz it has
BOOMBASTIC BASE!!!
go 2 effects en put the slider 4 bass 2 the right end.
put on ya headset....
Best base ever!!!
or is there a program that can beat it?
I liked Mortplayer bcuz it can use different maps... But it does not have that incredible base ....
But i didt try the wm5 version... maybe this one has that option

Thanks guys. I tried it yesterday. One thing I noticed, GSPllayer plays my MP3s better than TCPMP. The sound quality is much better. So I'll keep them both.

RE
I find that GSPlayer has many effects settings like 3D, Surround, Bass, Echo, Reverb etc that TCPMP lacks
Secondly, when I tried playing MP3 songs using TCPMP from BLUETAKE iPHONO bluetooth headphone through a bluetooth dongle the song volume sometimes go high and sometimes go low. Playing the same song using GSPlayer and bluetooth headphone does not have this problem
One issue with GSPlayer is that the equalizer and effects settings does not stick. Each time I have completed the settings and click OK the equalizer settings returns to FLAT
Anyone has this problem?
Thanks

Have to enable audio booster each time

Hello,
Tough the "enabled" mark is checked in the audio booster equalizer setup screen, I have to open/close the equalizer page each time I start listening mp3 through TF3D music player to have it working (via Menu > Audio Booster).
Is there a registry tweak or something to force it enabled ?
Thanks for you help.

rom in use? tf3d version? etc?
btw, i suggest (but this is NOT a solution) that you keep audio booster off forever. It sucks really.

I would always recommed Pocket Music player if you're a real music enthusiast. It has a built in equalizer with extra bass and lot of other functions that make music sound better on HTC phones.
Only drawback which may not bother much is it's high on CPU and battery usage/ I would say it's definitely worth it.

Sorry for the lack of information
I updated my signature with rom information
TF3D Version : 1.3.35350.1_1630.38
Btw, are there newer versions of TF3D ?
About Pocket Player, I planned to install it, but I'd like to use TF3D music sometimes (for battery matters mostly), so the Audio Booster is important to me (as I like much better the sound with it set to Rock)
thank you for your help

I Need A Better Audio Booster

I need a better audio booster for use with my XMI X II Mini speaker, the HD2 isn't quite loud enough, it's leaving the speaker with a lot of headroom.
I have been using the WOW STS HD cab, but I'm finding it hard to boost all frequencies uniformly with it.
Can the built in audio booster be tweaked or is there another program out there that i could make use of?

try the built-in equalizer in pocket player from conduits, maybe it will fit your requirements?

No improvement, seems worse (volume wise) than standard player with audio boost and WOW SRS HD (or even without this).
Edit: Just realised i can use WOW SRS HD with it.
This is still just about on part with standard audio booster i think, will experiment more.
Still would like away to tweak the standard audio booster or WOW SRS HD or an alternative method of boosting audio volume for use with speaker.
Earphones are not a problem (they are loud enough) and i don't mind the standard speaker for ring tones etc...

go the heavy way and starte htc audio booster, pocket player with critical - extreme settings and full bass + bass equalizer preset and srs, i think THAT shoudl be enough xD
for me windows mobile got awsome sound quality, but i still changed to cowon s9 mp

Oh yeah, just realised that audio booster works outside of HTC music player if you configure it in it's standalone app.
How do i configure pocket player to have critical extreme settings?
Edit: I'm just going to assume you meant max settings on the equalizer.

would need to install it again, so dont know exactly, but there are settings like this, just search xD
but its not the best thing of the pocketplayer.. what gives u awsome sound are the DSP plugins + the equalizer -> activate multi DSP in settings and choose surround sound and the bass DSP, maybe something else too, then go to the equalizer and make an awsome own equalizer, i would say with high deeps and ups
then start SRS with a good setting..
and htc Audio booster with like the same equalizer setting as the pocketplayer...
and now go search .flac songs, cause mp3 is to bad for this XD i dont know if it will still sound well after so much things xD..

Well, couldn't find extreme-critical anywhere, maybe it was on an older version.
I just realised that the equalizer which has a soft preamp built in wasn't actually enabled though, it has the word enabled in a list in settings, which made me thought i was enabled, but you actually need to press that and then there will be a tick next to it, there's no box for a tick or anything, nothing obvious that would have given that away.
Anyway I'm all set now, the preamp and equalizer is very loud even without WOW SRS HD.

i was using version 4.0.. >.<
but yea, then its ok^^ already thought what crazy human u are when pocketplayer isnt enough for u xD.. even for me it was enough

My conclusion on the music quality and volume on the Desire HD

I've had real problems with the volume of music on my HD. Max volume when playing music is fairly low/average. Max should be loud, it should make me want to turn it down.
I've also been very unsure on the quality of the music and what will give the best quality when playing music. Stock player? Stock player with EQ? Stock player with SRS? Stock player with Dolby? PowerAmp? PowerAmp with EQ?
__
I did about an hour of testing using old ipod headphones and my Sennheiser CX870s.
I put the stock music player widget on the same screen as the PowerAmp widget so I could play one song on them both and pause the player on one and start the other to compare music quality and volume between both players with both headphones. I did this over and over with classical, techno and rock music. that
I don't feel like typing an essay but I can confidently conclude that no combination of EQ in either player or SRS etc gives the music on my HD enough volume.
I can also confidently conclude that music does sound better on the stock Desire HD music player with SRS than PowerAmp. No combination of EQ or preamp settings in PowerAmp sounded better than the stock player with SRS. At the same time though, the difference is not that great.
This is of course all my opinion with my ears and my cx870's.
One problem I've had with the cx870's is that they sound way to bassy with stock player SRS and PowerAmp with the EQ, but that is probably headphone related so not relevant to this.
I found that while jacking up the preamp in PowerAmp did help the volume, it also distorted it and somewhat ruined the clarity of the music. Plus the volume output was still not much better than the stock player with SRS.

^^ Interesting thanks very much for that... much appreciated... I still have to work out much needed replacement the the stock player. I was thinking of trying PowerAmp next.
By the way I have seen some volume raise apps or Android volume unlock that are supposed to help maybe a bit on other phone models have you tired or had any luck with any of them on the Desire HD? Definitely something I'm keen to find a fix to as well as it's not really acceptable IME to play a youtube video and have it too quiet for friends to hear ect.
Take care n good luck. Will post back it I find any good news before you do.

I was using Poweramp first but arrived to the same conclusion than Rogueblade. Stock player has a better sound definition than third party players : less distortion etc...

Do you really find it too quiet? I find mine on the brink of too loud when its on max - I generally have it a click or 2 under, and its loud enough to drown out the sound of anyone around me and the sound of the train.

using headphones i find SRS amazing, im using it even in my car even using the headphones jack
just tried an HD2 and desire next to the DHD, seriously people i don't get what the problem is, the DHD has a much clearer sound
i'm on OTA 1.72 by the way

Am I missing something not?!? I cannot see how it's possible to use the stock player as lets say I copy 2 CDs on to the SD card. When I go to access it though the stock player there is not 1 folder with CD1 and another folder with another CD2 there is just a mess of MP3 tracks and folders. Now that is just one double CD from one artist. I would not like to see what happens when I go and transfer a resonable size collection of my MP3s containing mutliple folders of CD's and live sets, each foldered under artist names and music styles.
Someone please explain it to me if I am wrong. Would I be right to say I need to use another player that specifically has a feature of search/display music by folders?

I find the volume on DHD good enough. I use the device for music in the car and always leave it around half way and fully cracked up on the stereo and it's loud enough.
While listening with headphones I find max too loud but the volume preference would differ from person to person. Also I find SRS gives a nice bass boost which is great.

Yes, the stock htc music application sorts music by artist, album, music and then you can also create custom playlists.
Have you tried winamp for android? If it's anything like the pc version it will perfect for what you need.

ZTE music player messes up album song order, doesn't read CUE sheets - workaround?

As confirmed by sshasan on the ZTE USA community forums, the AKM DAC is only available to the native music player. I can actually hear a neat difference between Poweramp (even with headset experimental HiFi output enabled, probably uses the Snapdragon 820 DAC), so I'd like to keep using the default ZTE music player.
So far I've found that the music player completely messes up the order of songs on an album. They're listed in alphabetical order. Some of my albums too are just unsplit FLAC files with a CUE sheet, and as I did expect they aren't even listed in the albums list because the music player can't read CUE sheets.
Is there any known workaround, besides using another music app? I'd love to use Poweramp or something similar, but the audio is just a lot less clear despite using Viper4Android FX.

Unless I'm mistaken, I'm able to use the AKM DAC in my music player of choice, Clean Music. It doesn't display that I'm using the DAC, but if I start playing a song and go into the android Settings > Sounds & Vibration > Headset HiFi, and switch between Standard and Super, I hear a difference. I'm not an audiophile, but Super has a bit more "umph" to it, sounds "fuller". Maybe the AKM DAC is usable in music players that are more just an interface and pass music decoding/etc to the OS to handle (as opposed to players that utilize their own decoding and playback codecs).
(and this is all with ATMOS turned off)
