m4b files (i.e. bookmarked audio files) - General Topics

There is now the superb feature in iTunes to have a file pick up where it left off playing. Is there any application for the PPC which supports this?

How to create Media Player PLAYLISTS?

Hi all,
I'm trying to create or to copy my playlist from the computer to my Magician, but I couldn't! I don't know how to do it.
If I copy the .WPL from my PC to Magician, it doesn't open. When I'm using the Pocket Microsoft Media Player 10, my library have a lists of Playlists, but it's always empty and I don't know how to create one.
Can anyone help me please?
The playlists hold a definitive list of where a file is stored. If you have the stuff in "my music" then the files will be in c:\Documents And Settins\ (Username)\My Documents\My Music, and as such all files in the playlist will be listed in this location, and as this location does not exist in the device, it cannot find the files. You also need to copy the actual music files across, not just the wma files (Music files are mp3, wma, etc.)
If you want to use the device as an MP3 player, you should really get a storage card to store the music on.

I think you got me wrong. I already have a Storage Card and about 100 WMA files. The Library on MP is OK, but I have no Customized Playlists. That's what I want.
Got it?
Thanks!
Ok as to making playlists in Pocket Windows Media Player, i have no idea. i just had a look at my universal and i cant see the option.
Hoiwever, in the program that i use instead of WMP (Pocket music from pocketmind.com), you can make, view and edit playlist easily, plus it has a nice today screen plugin.
so one can not make new playlists in windows media player
The Pocket PC version of Windows Media Player does not allow you to create or edit playlists. But there is a freeware program for it!

NEEDED !! Windows media player playlist creator

Can anyone provide me with Windows media player playlist creator ... So that i can create playlist on computer and save it on mobile to play it ...
Moved as not software release.
Don't use WMP on phone but surely it can read .m3u playlist files? PocketPlayer does
So you can create the playlist on computer "i use Winamp" then just copy files and .m3u to phone.
Hi,
attached cab is a little playlistmanager.

I am using this freeware, Playlist Creator, on my WinXP PC.

easier way
Well neither of those suggestions work on my HTC HD2 especially considering m3u is not native to WMP
so..
You can either create your playlists in Windows Media Player on PC but obviously with the files on your phones memory card, and choose File -> Save Now playing List as...
then choose 'any type' and call your playlist 'untitled.asx' or whatever as long as it ends in asx
otherwise i used Winamp its much easier to create playlists (m3u) and/or if you already have .m3u's just drag and drop them into the now playing in WMP and save as above
- save any .asx to the root folder of music drive of your phone
hope thats clear enough

How to separate "songs" from "audiobooks"?

I want to add some .mp3 files onto my phone; but, I don't want them to appear under "songs" in music because they aren't songs. They're "audiobooks". How do I categorize my MP3s?
I'd be very grateful to anyone who could help me out.
I thought up of storing my "audiobook" .mp3 files as "podcasts"; but, the .mp3 files won't show up in my collection on Zune for some reason. Do podcasts have to be a certain format? I thought .mp3 files were podcasts. -.-
This is exactly what you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147373
It allows you to create a faux podcast feed that Zune will use to import the audio books as podcasts. Works perfectly.
Podcasts are XML files, in RSS (or possibly ATOM?) format. Basically, they're just web feeds that, instead of linking to web pages, link to audio or video files. MP3 is the most common format, but hardly the only one.

Music Videos

Does anyone know whether having video flagged as a music video has different functionality on the windows phone than regular video files? Obviously it is nice that you can choose to see just music videos in the Zune music . But here are a few things that would be useful...
Having music videos play when the screen is off
Having a playlist of music videos
Having the video start from the beginning every time, rather then where it left off
Also, does anyone know of a utility on the Windows platform to change the "music video" flag?
I don't believe WP7 treats "music videos" any different from normal videos. If you want just the music (play in the background, make playlists, etc.), then using music video files (which are huge, plus require a lot more RAM and battery to decode) is silly. There are tools that can extract the audio tracks from a video file, allowing you to save them just as audio files, if or some reason you don't have the audio file already. It's been years sisnce I used any such tools though; a web search will help you more now than I can with finding them. As for the "music video" identifier, it's probably just a metadata tag on the file. Windows Explorer should be able to edit it just fine; right-click the file, go to Properties, then Details, and remove the tag.

Best Music Media Player and PC Program for making Playlists

Was in search of a better Music player for my Infuse and NexusS4G and found what I think is the best on the market at least in the Free category. "MixZing" is phenomenal. and as much as I like Apollo (Thanks Rom Builders for including it) it is a PITA to navigate in creating playlists and execution. Not to mention it defaults to DSP to give U a decent EQ.
Well MixZing has all of that built in. Awesome EQ.. easy navigation. And damn nice theming.
I will say that I downloaded a separate program on my PC called Media Monkey which is another marvel. It proved to be easy and instrumental in creating playlists on my PC that were easily transferable to the Phones.
Basically I created folders for my songs already as I use a USB Flash drive in my cars (Camaro, Vette, CTS_V, and Tahoe... ALL GM!!! BABY) Folders allow a very nice and simple interface in place of a playlist on Flashdrive capable vehicles.
Anyway..use Media Monkey to create playlists from the Folders or group of songs. Then with a simple click (right mouse click in fact) "send to..." "M3U" playlist. Copy the M3U to any folder or group U wish to make the playlist and viola...
