Stock music player issues... - HTC Aria General

Ok I'm not too sure where to ask this, I just don't know.
I have tried searching here for the issue and searching Google for an answer but I still get nothing. My issue is not only with the stock music player on my phone but also with any other music player.
I have a very detailed and extensive mp3 list, all with album, title, artist, and artwork ID3 tags embedded in them. If I go to any music player and go into the "albums" tab it will show two or three of the exact same album several different times. All the tags are correct, it didn't used to be like this.
Does anyone know how to correct this? It just pisses me off because I have spent so much time making sure all the info on the songs are correct and this happens.
Here are some screenshots of what I mean.
In this one each Weathered album has two songs in it, but the A&A albums only have one each.

Use a tag editor such as MP3Tag, open the folder containing the files in question so you can view them side by side (in a column actually) and look for differences. If you don't see any, highlight all the files and recreate the Album tag to make sure there isn't some difference you just can't see or don't notice, like an extra space. Also look to see if there isn't some other Album tag, some players look at Album, Album Artist, AlbumArtist, etc. Good Luck.
Oh, and screenshot? Also, posting in a music tagging forum might yield additional help.

Windows Media Player

Is there a way to set media player to open the library from the storage card by default instead of the phones library? Also is there any why to set it so it does not forget the song you are on?
Thanks
I have personally set up some playlists e.g. all music.asx, elvis.asx and place shortcuts to these in the program folder in a folder called music. Works well for me just tap on the icon and media fires up and plays - no need to go through all those menus
You have to set up the playlists on your desktop pc though and sync them across. You can edit the playlists in notepad though, hope this helps
Yeah, surely there's a registry hack for this... it's such a pain in the ass having to switch to Storage Card every time.
This might be off topic but I need the help.
On my windows media player desktop, I have numerous 'removable drive' or 'storage cards' showing up in my library. There seems to be no way to just right click and delete them.
ok... more off topic... has anyone been able to modify this free spb wmp plug-in so it opens play-list instead of library?

If you do what I do and rename the playlist file from *.asx to *.wmv then it should play it thinking its a song but actually a playlist - just downloading the pluging to verify it works
Tried the plugin sorry does not work with prev solution. I knew there was a reason i uninstalled it. I checked the registry too no hack there that i can see

please post the equalizer

Hi, I'm A wizard user and I just found out that the Atom has a build in Equalizer for WMP.
Can somebody please place a copy of this add-on so I can have better sound out of my wizard?
Thanx
take it
thanks, unfortunatly it won't work.
But it was a nice try
Am I missing some files?
Maybe another dll, or a registry setting?
And is it in the extended ROM?
no. in main rom /windows
give the names of the files, that you need.
I cant send the full dump of windows.
aage: remember, the equaliser, and in fact most of the media hardware in the Atom, is very different to the HTC stuff. I've tried it on a few different devices (not just HTC) and it doesn't work.

Thanks Vijay 555,
I think it is impossible than.
Do you know about an equaliser add-on for WMP.
And do you know if its possible to get an Analoge clock on the screen, like on you website?
Don't know about the equalizer. Depending on your hardware, there are reg hacks for treble/bass, and also the IPAQ audio control panel works apparently. I've never tried it.
The analog clock - one week soonish, I'll release it as a plugin. I'm working on a couple of other new plugins, but I'm just playing too much Call of Duty, frankly...
I think SPB and some others also give an analog clock. Try Today+, a horribly (in both senses) good Today screen replacement.

WMplayer comands

is there anyway to make shortcuts for controlling WMplayer play next previouse ? what calls are needed and from what dll or exe?
hehe, are you thinking of putting that into ftouchflo so you can browse through music just by swiping?
(Coz funny enough I just thought of that and really want to know too)
I use TCPMP... anyone know shortcuts for that?
do you want to control the actual WMPlayer or want to write your own application and embed WMPlayer into it?
if embed then:

you'll find resources on how to embed WMPlayer in NetCF 2.0 Application by Alex Fienman
hope that helps
I think the easiest way is to send keystrokes for next and previous. Coupled with vijays sendkeys app it wouldn't be difficult to get it to work.

program music identification

does exist for hd a program like shazam to identify music?
Another app I requested even back when the Diamond was launched. Nothing exists and there is no motivation in the community for some reason to create such an app for Windows Mobile users.
Sad isnt it, especially as iPhone and now Android have shazam

this will not work.. especially on HD. This version is for PPC Smartphone edition and not only does it look ugly but requires HARD KEYS for navigation.
Sorry but it work on my Touch HD and it does not need any hardkey...give it a try
p.s. it is ver. 1.3.16 compare with the version that u have tryed...
MusicID v1.3.16 works absolutely fine on HD
Oh shoot! you are right, it has been updated! thanks for this!!
when the heck was this updated anyway?
okay im really grateful for this, because I didnt even know this update existed. However why does it not ID the album title
thx very much guyz u make my day ^^

I don't know when it was updated - I've had it for a couple of weeks.
The album art size doesn't worry me - usually all I want to know is what the hell the song that's been bugging me is

well, if the software actually identified the name of the album the song was from, then the small album art would not bother me either..

Wakoopa Panel

I have just finished my Wakoopa-panel, made with the HTML-generator. I made it for myself, but maybe it could be of use to somebody else.

What is Wakoopa?
Wakoopa is an online social network that helps people discover the best software, games and web applications on the market. It's the Yellow Pages of software discovery. Sign-up, install a small tracker on your desktop and automatically create your own online software profile that you can share with friends and the world via widgets.
Games, audio & video players, instant messengers or office tools: Wakoopa helps people discover the best desktop and web applications on the market. Software discovery is social again.
Go to www.wakoopa.com for more information.
With this panel you can keep track of your own software you use on your desktop computer and from 3 other persons. After installation you have to edit some files to insert you, or your friends Wakoopa-ID:
Go after installation to the the Wakoopa-Panel directory on your phone (programfiles/panels/Wakoopa-Panel/)
For the first contact you have to edit these files: index.html / contact1new.html / contact1top.html / contact1recent.html
Look for something like " <img src="http://wakoopa.com/patrick/card.png " and replace 'patrick' (or 'blank' by contacts 2-4) with your Wakoopa ID.
For contact 2 you will have to edit contact2.html/ contact2new.html / contact2top.html / contact2recent.html . Contacts 3&4 are similar.
You also have to change the ID's in the file landscape.html
Quick guide:
By tapping on the card you will get more detailed information of that person and you can choose between top10 / most recent / or new programs.
By tapping on the logo you go to a overview-page of the 4 profiles, best watched in landscape-mode.
Looks useful... will give it a whirl later tonight.
