Hi,
Have a rogers magic 32A running cyanogen 4.1.99+.
Whenever I play a flac music file, it gets stuck playing the song, i.e. cant skip to the next song. The file keeps playing as well, even when Ihave killed the music player in taskiller.
This seems to be a problem with the native music player, and tunewiki. Haven't tried other players.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
Thanks
Hi,
is there a way to modify the embedded music player as follows?
1) Increase or reduce skipping times when pressing headset buttons in order to rewind or fast fwd?
2) While rewind or fast fwd the speakers are mute but I would like to listen to it in order to know if I am reaching the right point of the track, as in WMP.
TIA
*Add* controls for music player on the lockscreen so it can skip forward/back next track without having to load music player.
s2p with s2u will take care of any issues you have with the sense music player
Hallo
I use my desire for music listening a lot. Before I got it I used a Creative Zen. I have noticed that when I listen to music on my Zen, the Smartvolume feature on this MP3 player normalizes the sound level of the songs (i.e. the volume level of all the songs is more or less the same). Is there a music app available (I've tried the native HTC sense music app and Mixing) that does more or less the same thing? I don't want to be toggling the volume constantly.
Thanks a lot!
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.
As a standard behavior, Android (or Samsung) allows a single audio source to be played at the same time. If I am playing music on the stock music player and then open up Pandora, the stock music player will automatically pause.
Is it possible to turn off this behaviour in an un-rooted device? My goal is to play an audiobook on Audible while listening to music in the background.
After 30 min of Googleing, I couldn't find an answer.....
Thanks!
