Has anyone been able to get last.fm to scrobble from the Default xoom music player.
I find I have to use songbird (which is nice but not as clean looking) to get this to work properly.
Also seems to work fine with Spotify once you input your login details into it (you didn't need to with songbird)...

I listen to audio books, and the default win player, doesn't allow me to bookmark my spot when i finish & resume from the same spot. Is there a player that does, paid or free, doesn't matter which
I don't know about the audio format but Mortplayer used to let me resume a song from the position it stopped playing, would that work?
Hi,
I use Conduits Pocket Player. This program gives you the option to choose to automatically bookmark (and thus resume) one track or all tracks. This player also has an automatic screen off function and sleep timer.
For me, this is a great player for audio books.
if you have visual studio 2008 you can compile the one from here. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/abcPlayer.aspx
Thanks for the replies, Conduits Pocket player looks like the sort of thing I need
I can recommend you pocketMusic, it has bookmarks and I like it more that PocketPlayer. Only issue with it: dousn't have Coverart and doesn't have WVGA-theme, you'll see it when you use it. But for Music and for listening to biiks, its awesome. Just try it out

Kinoma Freeplay (or the paid version) works well with audio books. Even works on Audible content, it can log in, stream or download audible books - if you use audible of course. It seems good quality and works well on the HD. It bookmarks any file and retains a history log.
Anyone know of a good music player which has a resume function for each track?
I had Pocket Player on my HD2 which allowed me to stop one track, play another and then go back to the first track and continue where I left off. Used it a lot on audiobooks.
Alternatively, something that will allow me to set a bookmark on different tracks.
Even better would be one that does that and also still has music controls on the lockscreen like the stock player.
Not sure if I've come across anything like you want specifically for music.
If it's just for audiobooks, then try Ambling BookPlayer. It's pretty good at auto bookmarking what you are listening to, and comes with a widget too to play and pause books.
I'm using Ambling BookPlayer now and it's very good, particularly for my audiobooks and recorded drama. It's a bit of work to load the mp3 files into its library as it doesn't recognise the m3u playlists I have and it does not natively support album art but I liked it enough to buy the Pro version.
Mortplayer
Mortplayer Audiobooks in the market. Free. I used to use Mortplayer in WinMo and this seems much the same. Very reliable at saving where you are in each track. I have only used the android version for a few days but it seems OK and the WinMo one was rock solid, even picked up where I left off before a soft reset. Oh and there's a widget for it and it shows in notifications.
Worth a try.
im using mix zing lite
I'm running the new Voice Search app from google but I can't seem to get to play any music when i say "Listen to" [Artist] and play music from the default music player. it says i need to get a music player from the marketplace. when i have Last.FM installed, it picked that up as the default player and searches and plays through that.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Found my answer. looks like it only works w/ online music apps like last.fm, pandora etc.
Sucks that it doesn't work with a local player, but it is great with lastfm

I was trying out some DLNA apps the other day, as I have a DLNA server (Buffalo NAS) with some 9,000 songs and 30,000 photos. All of the computers/laptops use iTunes to access the server.
I was pretty interested that the NAS's DLNA seemed to categorize all the songs in a number of ways, and that the different players seem to handle it well.
Most of the apps seem to be capable of letting you use your phone as a controller to output to another DLNA capable device, e.g., a TV.
Some of the apps are only good for selecting and downloading a file directly to your SD card.
2Player DLNA Music Player was good at playing music files. Can output to another DLNA client. Simple interface, and allows selection of source and output via drop lists. Hit and Miss on iTunes album art, seems to be setup to not get art unless you are playing the song/album. Very quick to play, allows you to build playlists of songs and stays active in background. Only for audio/music files. Simple widget with 'now playing' and start/stop and next track control or just the controls I did get it to hang on a FLAC file. FREE and donate for karma-ware versions
UpnP DLNA Media Downloader: excellent at finding all types of files and only downloads to phone or output client prior to playing. I don't want to do this, I want to play from the server via a cache/buffer. If I want to download or sync (which is one of the functions), I can get WinAmp for Android which syncs, and has a really nice widget to play.
iMediaShare - automatic DLNA client, finds server(s) by self, needs time to populate lists and doesn't seem to cache much stuff in an intellegent manner (such as those lists) on your phone. Great match-up with iTunes album art. So, selecting an album via the Menu/Play All causes it to scan. Asks each time which device to output, recognizes Rockplayer and generic Android Music players. Asks too often and where. Should have a 'Settings' page to store/select these defaults. Doesn't stay active unless on main screen. Didn't find my DLNA photos, but did have a main page with iPod-like media on the web, YouTube, Picassa, TED, etc. I only played with free version.
Winamp Since there is a desktop version that syncs to the itunes or DLNA server, the Android version can hookup to that and sync to that. Stores music on SD card. It's not what I was looking for since to sync it must have an active windows computer and doesn't play directly from server. Winamp also takes over the music functions, and if you have a bluetooth music device that the X10 actually talks to as a controller, it will over ride the Mediascape app to play the music. Has some neat interface functions such as being accessed when the phone is locked. Nice widget for home screen.
There are some others out there, what have you tried?
2Player DLNA Music Player works precisely for wht i wanted
so I've used doubletwist (and airsync) on my phone for a long time, so I downloaded it for the transformer. It makes it so convenient to be able to sync all my music over wirelessly...
But anyway, I don't use it for actual music playback because I like the honeycomb player.
But now, for whatever reason, if i try to use the play or skip buttons on the keyboard, they open up the doubletwist player and start controlling that insted of the honeycomb one... Anyone know why or how to fix something like that?
thanks
*ahem... *
I'd guess the default music app is set to doubletwist. find app in settings and then clear application defaults. next time android asks how to handle music select the default app
