Ogg files in Media Plyer?

I want to be able to play ogg files in media player on my XDAIIi, is this possible? If not, then I see there are a plethora of media players out there, Which would be most similar to media player to use?
Thanks,
Allan
ps I want ogg support as I believe it is the best quality codec for small files, please let me know if anyone has any opinions on this? or better codecs?

http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
is the player that most people like
not 100% sure but i dont think mediaplayer from ms on pocketpc can use external codecs
it only really likes ms's own formats and then it does mp3 too but otherwise it's pretty poor supportwise

The old BetaPlayer as it was known back then is great features wise, but not very slick.
I think that PocketMusic is a great alternative, or perhaps at least for BP to be used as well as a commercial program.
The Bundle version of PM plays OGG files as well, amongst others.

[Q] Graphic Equalizer for Captivate (or Android in general)

has anyone found a graphic equalizer for android that works on all audio output through the headphone jack? I had audio booster on my tilt 2 and i loved it. I've looked around and can't find anything but media players with EQ's. i guess this is a popular topic, but i hadn't seen a post on xda yet. thanks in advance

yes try mixzing in the apps market it has a ten band eq

i looked at that one, its a media player. so it only affects the sound files its playing. i'm looking for a graphic equalizer for the phone itself, that affects all sound files being played. thanks for the response though

PowerAmp [HELP]!

Can someone tell me why in PowerAmp there is a 'Folders' button and 'Library' button.
I'm pretty confused by the interface and the app itself and how to use the folders/library and which is for what and how it should be used.
All my songs I put on the phone appear in the 'Folders' menu, but none of those songs appear in the 'Library' which really seems to be more of a sensible place for them to appear because the Library has all songs, artists, playlists etc and seems to be the normal area for the app to store its music.
I have no idea how to get the music in there which is where I want it.
When I am playing a song it shows the artist and title and below it a folder path location? But why? It's like a path of where it is on the phone's SD card and the path of where it was on the computer. I don't need this information in the player view.
Also, I have to have my volume on max to hear anything decently despite being told PowerAmp helps the issue of the low media volume with the default audio player. (Sennheiser CX870s). Anyone know why/how to get the volume working more 'normally'? (Desire HD)
Any tips are appreciated.
Any other good music player app suggestions are appreciated.

Never encountered this with the default music player (where the audio is not loud enough).
I use the full version of Power Amp (no difference from trial) and it works great for me because I find the stock music player sorely lacking, leaving a lot to be desired.
You could try messing with the equalizer, I don't have my phone on my person at the moment so my advice isn't as solid as I'd like...
Have you tried another music player such as DoubleTwist?
(look up on market place; i can't post links yet )
I use a pair of $50 Sony MDR EX85LP earbuds, they're great for the price and on my Droid X they are plenty loud for my tastes, could it possibly be the earbuds or specific piece of music you are listening to?
If what I mentioned doesn't help my last piece of advice would be to try and find some sort of digital amp that would amplify your music, or an actual pocket amp.

Sorry I forgot to say the volume issues is regarding the HTC Desire HD.
Thanks mithikx I'll check out DoubleTwist.
Anyone else who can answer my OP questions, that would be great

PowerAMP has both features for, well, convenience. A lot of people who're really into their music like to organise it themselves, with a folder structure of their choosing - eg. they might have it separated by genres, or by what mood the music reminds them of, or what place they like to play the music in. The 'Folders' tab gives you the same actual folder structure as is on the SD card, I find it quite handy myself, it makes a lot more sense to me because I can specify the structure any way I choose, much easier than making playlists.
The library, on the other hand, is just like PowerAMP tells you when you first tab to it - it's the default Android media library, and is managed by Android, not PowerAMP. It's the traditional media player structure, and sounds like that's what works best for you. If files aren't showing up in the library, you need to get the default Sense media player (Assuming you're on a stock DHD build) to scan that music, because in theory it shouldn't be showing up in the Sense player if it's not in the PowerAMP library. Try restarting the phone, unmounting/remounting the SD card, or downloading a widget that lets you trigger a media scan.
As for the volume, have you tried boosting the 'pre-amp' in the PowerAMP equalizer? The only other media player I'd recommend would be Winamp, don't like DoubleTwist myself.
Hope this helps.

Hi
I really do like powerAmp a lot. Specially the folder option, since I can play the music in the exactly order I put in the memory without needing to create a playlist. I tried the trial version an I was about to buy it , but then I found the SRS enhancement option on the default HTC Desire HD player and I really like how the music sounds with that option.
Does somebody know if this feature is or would be available on a future version of poweramp? Are these SRS enhancement and the other option Dolby mobile just digital equialization settings that maybe can be reproduce on the poweramp amplifier, or there is something more that is done by hardware or only possible to be done by HTC?

I don't see it happening honestly. SRS Labs licenses their technologies, which would make PowerAMP more expensive than it already is. You can probably mess around with the EQ to make the sound similar to SRS I bet.

which android music player have a best sound quality?

hi all
i have a question
which android music player have a best sound quality?
which is the closest to audiophile sound?

poweramp sounds very natural if you ask me, but a bit noisy in idle. flac support and eq feature makes it even sweeter, worth the 5$ easily.
moto defy + akg k370

Most of them use system libraries starting from decoding input file to output, so there should be no difference in sound quality regardless of which is used. One of the notable exceptions from this rule is PowerAMP (no link to Android Market thanks to XDA rules, I'm to much of a n00b to post a link).
I don't believe you can reproduce anything even remotely close to audiophile sound on poor DACs which devices produced up-to-date have.

I really really wish Bose would get into the cell phone game. They need to start redesigning the internal audio systems for these smartphones asap! It has to be able to be done.

[Q] equalizer for WP 7

Hello friends. This is a request to all the great developers at XDA. I have an unlocked HTC Titan running 7.8, and would love to have a graphic equalizer for playing music. I have the sound enhancer app along with Dolby and SRS , but I find these very limited. Would it be possible to port an eq from say, windows mobile, or from anywhere else? I use my phone a lot listening to music, and lack of an eq spoils it a little for me.
Thankyou.
